Stop Normalising Smurfing
Yea you see these cringe immortals / radiants making new iron account for challanges. this really ruins the game for everyone else who plays the game who isn't smurfing.
Lets say you are 9 rr away from Gold but the opponents have a wannabe "iron to radiant" streamer like Keeoh / Timmy and shatters your goal of gold.
How would you feel?
Stop watching / supporting smurf streamers
"bUT oH IT'S jUsT 1 GEM" no

teach them
kristof [#7]they should be hardware banned
Im immortal/diamond so I don't encounter smurfs as much anymore but I can't stand people who smurf and talk shit like "can you guys just FF". Like bro you know you're better why you gotta be an ass about it.
vetements [#2]just get good
exactly how are they gonna get good if they vs bots all the time. gotta play against better players to improve.
pantheism [#11]except if they truly are "smurfing" their MMR would be inflated to the point that you shouldn't even have to worry about them
also true I dont get why every pc cant be limited to 1 account
vetements [#2]just get good
they always be complaining about smurfs but not thinking about why the smurfs are smurfing and they aren't.

True but also its a team game and you cant completely dominate every game
pantheism [#14]they always be complaining about smurfs but not thinking about why the smurfs are smurfing and they aren't.
Because the smurfs are destroying their games and preventing them from climbing?

Do you really think a silver can beat a radiant in an aim duel? 💀
Thomaslee [#16]Because the smurfs are destroying their games and preventing them from climbing?
focus on what you can do, not what others can do for you.
pantheism [#18]focus on what you can do, not what others can do for you.
I mean how do you expect them to climb if there are frequent smurfs in their games?You said to improve you must play someone better but the skill gap is so drastic it's unplayable
Thomaslee [#16]Because the smurfs are destroying their games and preventing them from climbing?
I feel like that might be true in plat/diamond but not in gold-lower. Those players need to fix many things in order to actually climb. I feel bad for saying that but its true.
most people here are on the younger side so they probably wouldn't get this but
a lot of people don't have the time to grind 3-4-5 games of ranked a day to climb, they just get one game in every once in a while to just chill and have fun (in a competitive environment)
wasting an hour of your day meant to be for relaxation against some random smurf playing 4 ranks below is pretty miserable

git gud, scrub

there are always going to be smurfs no matter what, there isnt shit anyone can do about it, so sitting there complaining about it instead of trying to improve is doing nothing for you. some games are just unwinnable and you gotta accept that, so focus on the games you can win that dont have smurfs
the hidden mmr makes it basically impossible for smurfs to be in low elo games for very long, every alt i have had has been in immortal games at plat 3 so chances are most of the "smurfs" you are getting are just people having good days or people who just have good aim but are braindead
P22 [#28]i dont see how its fun for people to watch radiants destroy lower ranks. also how is it fun for them to shit on everyone who cant even shoot back properly
ngl i did this once, tried a guardian only run and I felt like a piece of shit bro, I was apologizing in chat every game

a gold will improve from playing other gold-plat players getting 13-0d by a radiant wont help
langgg3 [#13]also true I dont get why every pc cant be limited to 1 account
multiple ppl can share a pc
seriouspotato [#52]its not fair but
they is a 50-50 chance that the smurf is gonna be on your team too
if u lost elo because of a smurf u probably will get it back when there is a smurf on your team
soo if u deserve it u will eventually get back to that rank
a smurf is a smurf, there is a 50-50 chance the smurf ruins the game for you or the opponents.

haha, these people just can't accept the truth that smurfs aren't as big as a problem they make it sound. they make it sound like they are vsing 5 smurfs every game holy fuck

this is completely true.
Riot shouldve bring 20 level ranked limit for all accounts even if that account played ranked before and done smurfs will be more less than before
maybe even make that 30 level so people learn more about game before ranked THATS HOW FUCKING LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WORKS ITS YOUR GAME TOO RIOT JUST COPY PASTE IT
dapada [#51]why people care so much about their rank?
my advice, stop caring about your rank and something that you can't control (in this case smurf) and focus on improving yourself instead
once you get better, eventually you'll climb up the leaderboard anw
man spitting fax.

MilanTheMyth [#6]Options:

how about you get better or play unrated if smurfs are an issue
Hm, let’s start putting silver Jett/Reyna instalocks in radiant lobbies and see how much they like getting their elo fucked with. Get better and carry that 3-24 Reyna on ur main!
There’s a 50/50 chance that a smurf ends up on your team vs the enemy team, so I don’t worry about it too much. Even though it’s a scummy and selfish thing to do. People are quick to blame smurfs on the other team but rarely realize that their top frag could be smurfing.

well really it's more likely you play a smurf if you're not smurfing. since you're not smurfing, there's 4 slots on your team to be smurfs and 5 on the other team. About 44% you get a smurf on your team and 56% you get a smurf on the other team.

LOL this is a good idea, counter smurfing them would be so fun XD
idk if this would help if somone smurfes but i would find it good if there would be a more level based matchmaking in ranked so that for example g1 that are like level 100 would play against other g1 players that are level 100 so it would be more likely that smurfes would play against each other and people that aktivly play the game would play against each other
how has this thread had 71 comments and noone has said a legitimate reason to smurf?
How are you supposed to learn new agents? like... I am a sova / cypher main and if I pick viper at my current ELO I am basically throwing for my team.
am i just never supposed to practice other agents? or am i supposed to ruin your game because i picked jett and have only played her 10 times?
Unrated is a total shit place to learn new agents because noone gives a fuck.

We all started with no knowledge and just picked a agent for fun, then we became good with it.
So why cant we do the same process again?
Playing the agent in lower elos wont bring you anything and wont teach you anything, playing it against similarly skilled opponents will accelerate the learning process because you get challenged.
