NA Ranked population is so low that a good percentage of the accounts Iron/Bronze/Silver are smurfs

Reviewing games from players in my elo, a lot of the time I come across players that have 65% + winrates but remain in low elo. CSGO has prime matchmaking that pairs your account to a phone number why not do that for league?

Because there are a decent chunk of players who don't have phones and no company in their right mind would just shoot themselves in the foot like that.

Because:

  1. US has laws against such policies.
  2. It wouldn't mesh well with Riot's ban policies (and the fact over 40% of the community has been banned before).

Can't tell if complaining about smurfs which riot has said time and time again are ok, or you are just plugging CSGO :P

i think that it has to do with the meta, go watch seasons 2-4 and how long it takes to kill people. It took multiple people focusing 1 person or more than 1 rotation of spells. Now you are able to blow people up so fast even when behind. tanks do not really exist while bruisers can do their job of being tanky and a ton more damage. ADC die to a stiff breeze and deal so much damage I wonder how half the time of how did they die so fast(enemy). I've been blow up in .1 seconds from a brush with 100% hp by 1 person, it really isn't fun to not be able to react. It makes sense to smurf since its like entering a team death match while you have an AK and everyone else is using knives.

Personal things I would change CDR is too much Damage is too much Defense is basically useless Towers are made of paper after plates drop Baron buff is too game changing for how early it spawns Elder Dragon is too weak for how late it spawns (if you even see it in game) Snowball is so high because of lack of defensive options (get 4 kills in 20 min and you can pretty much 1 shot anyone)
