Smurfing Ruins League Experience

Existential Bard··3 votes·637 views

I have encountered an increasing number of self-proclaimed smurf players over my time in playing matches, both in normals and ranked.

It just doesn't feel good to play with and/or play against. The smurfs usually on my team will talk about their rank constantly and will just make let us know when we make a mistake by pointing out our lower rank ("so bronze") This is the same when playing against a smurf who feels the need to put us down for our rank.

Before people say, "Get good" or some other troll comment, I just want to say that I do want to improve and have fun in the process. It's nearly impossible to get better when numerous high elo players descend to the lower ranks and just dominate by having so many innate acquired resources from their time playing (mechanical skill, game knowledge, etc).

Please if you smurf, at least stay out of ranked games with your smurf account as it really is not a fair OR true MMR.

i dont understand the "stay out of ranked on your smurf" part of this post

When people play smurfs in ranked they are skewing the data so even if we win against a smurf we don't get LP that is reflective of the skill of the player we faced.
