Getting to level 20 is hell

I made my first smurf just the other week, figured having a second account might be fun.

YOU CAN ONLY PLAY BLIND UNTIL LEVEL 20

Every game. . . . . EVERY! DAMN! GAME! You have players insta-locking champs/lanes, cause once their locked in, you have to adjust.

You have new players who don't know what they're doing, yet they are given 80 seconds to scramble, organize, and get along.

You have experienced players who do know what they're doing, yet they are given the opportunity to choose a lane prior, and enter an organized lobby.

WHY???????

Why disable Draft for new players when draft gives new players the scaffolding they need to make a team, why force them through 20 levels of: 'TOPTOTPTOPTOPT MIDMIDMIDMID JUN NO I CALLED IT FIRST YOU SUPPP NO I DONT HAVE THE CHAMPS CAN ONLY RIVEN/YAS ADC OR FEED WHAT ARE RUNES IS DARIUS SUPPORT?'

Compared to

'You have been placed top, who you wanna play?'

Ridiculous

EDIT - The purpose of this post is to bring to light how uninviting League is to new players. I've told my friend for years to just get to 'level 30' and it's fun, but ffs, I know what I'm doing and it's still extremely frustrating, I couldn't imagine trying to learn the game with all this shit happening.

So why don't you just buy a level 30 account like everyone else?

Most of them will just get perms banned , as people use scripts to level them up

It is against riot rules , and even if they refund you with another account , how can you get your ranks back ?! And I think encouraging people to get those accounts is against forum rules

Imagine on being in EU servers. Draft is removed unless you play ranked.

Because Riot doesn't support smurfing

Even with all the free champs... you don't have 16 champs starting out, so you have to play blind. I've never personally had any issues with blinds. I don't know why so many people run into such things.

Besides that, making a new account is the best. You get to play whatever without worrying about anything. People are still toxic af, but it's less toxic than most games. Other than that, you wind up playing with the same people over and over anyways...

I just mess around in bots on the one I made.

wait that's your problem? here I thought you were going to complain about you + 4 bots vs 4/5 bots in sr and ARAM, because that's what I experienced up until lvl 13, then it became a luck of the draw, whichever team had that 1 bot would lose.

Not like the same shit would happen in draft or anything

I am pretty sure Draft is not disabled till level 20, you need 20 champions to play it.

You know it's a lot easier to level up compared to back then in season 3 and earlier. I think it should take long so there would be less smurfers as riot themselves said at one point they don't condone smurfing. I get people want to smurf here and there and have reasons, but having a hard time leveling up can help discourage smurfers.

it's because you play against other smurfs as well.. 8/10 players are smurfs after 15 level ... so yea
