For the people who think there are too many smurfs at low levels

After reading all of these posts about how this game is hard for new players to start, i thouhgt I would share my perspective on the subject.

This game is all about taking advantages, whether it is getting kills, or taking objectives, it is all about getting gold and getting fed. And if your level 5 or if your a challenger player the objective is the same in the end. In every different skill level there will always be someone in the game that does this best, and gets the most fed. This person will almost always do better than the other players and most likely end up winning. Now when this happens at low levels most newer players dont quite understand this concept as well and they begin to question if this person is really on thier same skill level or not so they might ask the person what level they are or if they have a smurf or not. Now we can all understand that when we are doing well at something, be it a vidoe game or getting promoted or that new job, we like to brag about it and share our accomplishments. Sometimes we also like to exaggerate a little bit. We all do it , it is just human nature. So when this new player is asking someone who is doing really well that game if they are smurfing or not,the person might say, yeah im a gold smurf or something along the lines of that. Th fact is, there are not many smurfs at low elo. When I recall being low level there are very few games where I actually think I went against a smurf, and usually when I did, that person tried to help me someway by telling me to try and last hit the minions rather than just keep autoing until they died. So If there is one point that I am trying to get across here it is that dont get discouraged if you are losing to someone who did really well, eventually that person will be you and you will understand what it is like to be in thier shoes.

Thanks for reading my post tell me what you all think about it in the comments.

Thank you for providing a bit of logic to the situation.

I'd add that the game itself has a very high skill cap at all phases, be it learning, increasing your capabilities, or just advancing in the ranks, until you hit challenger, you're still learning, even then from what a lot of people say, you're still learning.

Some people learn stuff faster than others, so they'll be more advanced than you at a certain point in the game, others will be behind you at that same point. It's the way things work.

No everything u said was complete bs. I remember fighting an ahri as Annie when I just started playing and he was wrecking my shit the entire time and I asked if he as smurf and he said he was diamond. My team mate says he'll switch lane with me so I switch and guess what that little bitch does follows me! Worst game ever he just harassed me the whole time.
