Just got stomped by a yasuo who claimed to be in grandmasters when i'm in bronze 2. I couldn't do anything even though i picked swain which is suppose to be a counter to him. Even to the best of my abilites he just outfarmed me like crazy then steamrolled.
Like how is anyone ok with this? Why is this not reportable?
Looking at his match history and stats on champions, I really doubt it. He was just a Silver and had a good match.
Smurfing in general Riot isn't really okay with but at the same time they don't consider it against any rules so there's nothing that can be done. Riot themselves has always let people make and have multiple accounts so it's not like there's anything really stopping it.
Dealing with Smurfs may be hard but it isn't impossible. League has changed a lot during the years and carrying games are harder than it was back then, so even if the smurf goes 10-0 if your other lanes are doing really well, you still have a good chance at winning. Look up iron to challenger videos or something similar, these good players still lose some games in low elo. The only real good piece of advice I can give you is to play as safe as possible, literally just sit back at tower and farm, don't attempt to trade or 1v1. Try to not give the smurf an advantage that he use as a lead. But yeah I don't like smurfs as much as the next guy, but you can take this opportunity to improve yourself like I did and learn what makes someone higher rank play different from someone lower rank.
The dude wasn't a smurf... he has a 49% winrate over 1000+ games... He just had 1 good game. You shouldn't believe everything that people tell you, you can validate what they're saying by looking at their amount of games played, winrate, last season rank etc..
