New Steam update looks to ban smurfing, but Dota 2 players aren’t convinced

Steam revised its online conduct guidelines on May 11, explicitly categorizing smurfing as a form of cheating. The updated guidelines signal Steam’s intention to keep players situated in their correct skill brackets, but Dota 2 fans remain skeptical for the moment.

Despite adding smurfing to its guidelines, Steam has been against the practice in Dota 2 long before that. Fans believed that Steam’s rules against smurfing were mostly overlooked in Dota 2’s case, making them think the latest update may not be enforced as expected.
