Crafty seems to manage 30 Hawken accounts just fine
Edit: If cross-platform play ever becomes a thing, I guarantee you that we'll have people throwing fuzzy bunny-fits over cross-platform smurfing

I would suspect that smurfing will not be nearly as big of an issue with a larger player base. The people who do smurf have always assured us that they only do it because they cannot find a match at their MMR. So, with a huge count of online players, they should almost always be able to instantly find a great, high level MMR match, right?
Time to see whether these people prove themselves to have been honest all along or not.
To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Or, with the sudden massive influx of 1250 MMR players, you find a 1337 player in a match with 11 newbs, because statistics.

Here's another question, how will accounts be handled?
Is everything going through PSN/Live accounts or will there be 3rd party sign-ons?
PSN/Live accounts are probably easier to implement in the long run, but would effectively kill off cross-platform.
But 3rd party allow for the above guinea pigsplayers to use their current Hawken accounts.

My one hope is that I, Harmless_Kittens, will be called a "smurf" by a PS4 or XBox One newbie. I'm a sucker for irony.

I seriously doubt that multiple people who smurf have said that on behalf of all smurfers. That said, I'm interested in seeing evidence to the contrary.
Some players made smurfs to bypass MMR restrictions when that was a thing a year ago. I made (what was at the time) my smurf account for that reason. That MMR restriction isn't an issue now in regards to matchmaking, so if someone made a smurf after that point and claims they did it for matchmaking, they're either ill informed or lying.
There's a host of other reasons that people smurf that I've seen mentioned. Any combination of the below - or none of the below - have been cited as reasons why people smurf:
- To not be recognized
- To play under an account name they find amusing
- To troll
- To practice without affecting the MMR or other player statistics of a main account
- To collect accounts like some people collect trading cards (see: Crafty, EM10)

Rocket League doesn't have to deal with the Storm service and was built from the ground up to include it.
As far as we know, Reloaded is resurrecting a project ADH made a conscious decision to ditch in its infancy. The code has likely come a long-ass way since then.

Well, sort of. Rocket League does NOT have an ingame friends list of any sort.
- You can only find PC and PSN or PC and Live players together in random matchmaking.
- A PC player cannot invite PSN or Live players to a party, or to a match.
- PSN/Live players cannot read any typed chat from PC players and vice versa - the only chat that goes cross-platform is the 'quick chat' prewritten prompts.
- PC, PSN and Live players can only hear voice chat from other players on the same platform.
- Live and PSN players cannot ever play together. They can both play with PC players, but not one another.
And we cannot get any confirmation from Psyonix as to whether these are limitations or politics.

Iv'e recently seen a trend of a few vets that don't participate on the forums typing in a match "this game needs to die" or something along those lines whilst either stomping really hard or feeding into the enemy team after and only after loosing multiple emps into their own team. Iv'e also seen an influx, albeit not super large; of smurfs with a particular name that would suggest that they're stomping newbies on purpose.
Good luck guys and I hope it goes well. I haven't owned a console in over 4 years and I haven't played on one in almost 15 months, but Iv'e been considering getting one ever since last E3 and I'm really liking the look at that PS4 game where you hunt giant robots with a bow.
