Bronze and Silver are now just full of Plat+ Smurfs

So you are Winning and Climbing but instead of Riot matching you with more skilled players of your rank (on both sides)

Riot matches you with Smurfs on the enemy team and players with under 38% win rate (OVERALL) on your team.

Ranked is shit

I'm getting at least 1 smurf on the enemy team almost every game lately. It's costing me loads of games and annoying the hell out of me. https://i.imgur.com/u1iNacH.png

This is THE SINGLE GREATEST problem with this game, and why I'm leaving and taking my friends and my money with me.

Any proof?

some players straight up said they are fk platinums and diamons and that they smurf. apparently making smurfs accounts to beat up newer players gets them high. maybe thye want to compensate for something smaller.

So now anybody who is better than you is a smurf... gotcha .

Don’t give me the ‘ they said they are a smurf ‘ literally anybody can say that.

This doesn't even make sense. It's literally impossible. So you go on a win streak and you claim the game actively tries to bring you down by giving you low winrate team mates and putting smurfs on the enemy team? So you have a good win rate and the system actively tries to make you lose. The "smurfs" on the other team have a good win rate so the system actiely sets up free wins for them?

Like what? One player on a win streak gets sabotagued by giving other players on win streaks free wins?

Sorry to necro, but google brought me here. Okay, I just started playing again after almost not playing for a year, but I've been a player since beta. I'm not the greatest player, but something **is ** going on. Almost every other game there is a smurf blatantly shouting it in the chat. I play supportive roles mostly, tank jungle or support and this has gotten insane, my carries can't hold their own vs these players. I never struggled in Bronze like this before trying to get to Gold.
