How exactly is this fair? We were against a smurf Gragas in my last ranked game and he flawlessed it and told my team to not get mad at him but at me for us losing when in reality he was just camping THE HELL outta my lane, how exactly is this smurfing considered fair when it's someone THAT good smurfing and being toxic? Also is this kind of behavior even permitted? (the telling someone's team to blame a teammate for the loss not the smurfing)
Sejeo1 votesIt is fair because the same amount of times that the enemy team will have a smurf will be the same amount of times you have a smurf on your team. Of course these numbers will be a bit out of balance if you do not play much ranked because the less you play ranked the more luck it becomes. For example if you have an 80% winrate over 10 games it will not be as good as a 59% winrate over 300 games.
The JigSAW1 votesIt is completely unfair.
I've had matches with smurfs as well, back when I bothered with ranked, but there are also people who use smurf accounts on normal just to get the thrill of beating people up. Now you're going to hear from Riot white knights about all the wonderful excuses they use to justify it, but in the end, here's my view.
They are cheating the system. Pretending to be a rank you aren't to help level your friends on another account is just as much of a banworthy offense as anybody buying any kind of MMR boost. Anybody who smurfs as a diamond or plat to help their silver or bronze friends level up to a tier they don't belong in should lose their highest ranked account PERMANENTLY, and their other account suspended for a year from ranked play and all their rewards revoked.
With that said, because of the number of people who smurf and the money Riot brings in from those accounts they will never do a damned thing to make the ranked system truly fair. So, you can put up with it or do as I'm doing and leave this game (mainly due to the fact the new client they forced on us is worse than the old one made 7 years ago, if that's possible) because things aren't going to change. Riot's view is its all our fault, its our internet, its our computer, its never them. Ever.
