Why do they exist?
Why does every smurf seem to have to make it known they are smurfing?
Why does 8 out 10 "smurfs" i see that say they are smurfing , fail in the game?
Why do smurfs come into bronze games and then complain about bronze plays?
texasone13 votesHere is what I have to say about smurfing in low elo. Not only do you ruin games for others but you're not learning anything by playing against lower elo players. If you are a higher elo then you're normal draft mode games are sufficient for learning a champ because you already have played at a higher level than most. Thus you've not only ruined it for others but you've already ruined the learning curve for yourself. So just fkn stop it already. You're not that smart to figure this out on your own.
You're making it impossible for other players who are trying to learn as you did. By playing against others who are on the same level. You are reducing the integrity of the game that you love so much.
WhaiiSoSerious2 votesSmurfs are always sooooooo bad
Marshbouy1 votesQueue times at high elo can get ridiculous so people make smurfs to still be able to play or they want to boost their ego
For their own EGO or to make other people feel less bad about getting raped.
Because they aren't smurfing, probably smurfing b5 when they are silver or they are just saying they are smurfing to look good.
Because they are usually assholes.
texasone11 votesQueue times being long at high elo? Imagine if there were not smurfs coming to lower elo. Now you have more people of the same mmr playing against each other. Hmm interestingly you've increased the amount of players available to lower that queue time. WOW problem solves itself if people obey the summoners code. WOW riot is smart enough to realize this and pit you against your own skill level when you do smurf. Hence you've done nothing except ruin the mmr for those who have had good games and then they get placed with these smurf players. Now if these smurfs weren't trolling and listening to what riot expects us to do by not cheating. Then it seems to me that all the problems would solve themselves by a matter of elimination and then certain peoples issues with these situations would not be there to complain about.
Mysticman891 votesI'm not convinced the majority of actual smurfs admit they're smurfs. Lots of non-smurfs out there who'll say they're smurfs from <insert high rank here that they think they deserve> whenever they have a good game to feel better about themselves, while many legit smurfs would rather pretend they're just exceptionally talented new players (or just don't care at all whether people recognize them as smurfs or not).
There's various 'good' reasons for smurfs too. Being able to play with new/low elo friends without completely ruining the game for them on your main account (which would have a way higher mmr typically), being able to comfortably explore different champs/roles in a fresh enviornment (people maining one role at a plat level may only play another role at a silver level and not be able to effectively learn at their own elo with constantly getting crushed), being able to 'escape' from your main account if you don't want to deal with various friends or whoever who might be bugging you to play with them. Sometimes people just want to double check the frequent claims that it's impossible to climb from bronze/silver due to trash teams (and usually confirm that it is indeed straightforward to climb if you actually are playing at a higher level).
Some people are doing it just for ego or to avoid big queue times, or for unranked to X in Y time youtube/twitch things. Others are just intentionally trying to delve deep into bronze 5 for the lulz. Theres other reasons too I'm sure, but the point is theres a fairly large variety.

Because all new players can 5 v 1 with a vayne and 2 v 1 a bot lane with any trouble or have a rengar 5 v 1 because bronze players are so skilled you are lucky they can land any cc or see someone coming over a ward.There's various 'good' reasons for smurfs too.

Yea because this would not be clased as account boosting or against the riot rules either.being able to comfortably explore different champs/roles in a fresh enviornment (people maining one role at a plat level may only play another role at a silver level and not be able to effectively learn at their own elo with constantly getting crushed),Yea because the normal games would not achive this at all even if you smurf it dose not mean you have to play ranked. And when you rank up with this guy and you want to learn another champ you going to screw with the bronze elo again ????being able to 'escape' from your main account if you don't want to deal with various friends or whoever who might be bugging you to play with them.

BluePolarizer1 votesThey aren't smurfs.
Me and other plat+, if we smurf at all, don't say we are smurfs. It ruins the legitimate use of a smurf - to practice champions and roles without tanking your elo.

well why not play other smurfs why go into a ranked game then play a normal no u couldn,t hack it in gold or plat u get your smurf butt beat playing in your own league so u come troll in b5 so u can feel good about yourself
BluePolarizer1 votesuh I'm doing fine in my league when I play jungle, support or top, but I can't practice ADC or mid without losing every game. I don't troll b5 because my smurfs aren't in b5.

Is this not what normal games for. YOU think its fair to join a lower elo and fuck up other players rank knowing they wont have a chanse.
