Smurfing in Clash

Tenarin·12/10/2019, 2:05:23 AM·2 votes·1,313 views

IDK if anyone has said it yet, but more should be done to control smurfing in Clash.

Phone Verification: If someone has a diamond account and a silver account, they can just phone verify on smurf acct and get trophy

I forgot what the other anti-smurf feature was...if there was another one.

Thought maybe there could be a placements thing, but then all the good people will just play like shit in placements so that won't work..

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I would like to add, since people will come in here like "uh durr there's no smurfs in clash" i'm plat and was playing with silvers and golds and I play jg and they were all WAY harder to gank than anyone in my plat ranked games. Some people played champs they never even played on that account before, and completely stomped people higher rank than them. One guy ADMITTED TO IT IN POST-GAME CHAT (I turned him in and Riot agreed) so don't come in here with that naive BS you'll just sound stupid. I'm pretty sure out of 3 teams I faced in Clash at least 2 of them had 2+ smurfs.

Perhaps a start to a solution would be for Riot to find a way to identify accounts that are most likely to be a smurf, then pit teams with likely smurfs in them against each other. I do not know what type of algorithm or statistics they should look into, but they have a whole team that's knowledgeable about this kind of stuff.

the fact that smurfs would "play crappy" in placements in order to smurf on lower skilled players speaks for itself.
