Ce inseamna smurfing / cont smurf?

[+robotboy]

Am auzit recent prin Dota 2 termenul de smurfing sau cont smurf, si sunt putin confuz. Ce inseamna un cont smurf sau smurfing?

Multumesc!

Nu stiu in Dota cum e dar la lol smurf/smurfing inseamna ca tu sa fii intr-o divizie buna si sa cresti un cont de divizie slaba.

Cam asa e si la Dota, si in gaming in general , explicatiile de pe Wiki mi s-au parut cele mai complete si bune, drept pentru care le-am preluat mai jos:

In online gaming, smurfing has a variety of definitions which generally involve a person using a different name to their usual online handle.

• One form is when a player of a high skill level will play under another players account, or create a secondary account to appear to be a lower rank or skill level. This is often done to try new tactics and skills without attention if they are a well known player or to avoid impacting on any statistics kept on their main account in a negative fashion because of failure with new tactics.
• Another is substitution of one player with another while keeping the original players name, often in the context of an online competition where one team is understrength and needs more players adding players by having non-rostered players take the name of an absent rostered player, or where one of the better players in the game is disallowed from a match, a higher skilled player takes the account and name of a lower skilled player in their team.
• A player who is banned from a game or server by anti-cheat software may create a new 'smurf' account to continue playing.
