An Idea to fix smurfing (WITHOUT REMOVING IT)

ZGM Dazzling·Sep 3, 2015·2 votes·357 views

So its pretty clear that the new play experience is AWFUL right now. My sister hates league because every game she gets placed with 6 - 7 smurfs with names like: "Riven Goddess 69", "Sm0keW33D420 xxXLee SinXxx" "The Unsean Smurf xxXKappaXxx" and gets stomped the hell outa.

Obviously riot cant stop smurfing so i have an idea to separate smurfs from new players.

How about when you make an account, you can check a box that says, "i am a smurf" which will give you bonuses such as: Extra Xp Boosts at milestone lvls Skipping bot games and tutorials ETC. While placing them with other players that check off the smurf box.

You obviously don't know why people smurf...

I have a smurf... reasons being.. it's where I say.. I don't care anymore.. Spam bot games playing teemo meet new people, and give them small pointers on their game play.

Example : Attacking an enemy under their tower will cause the tower to attack you.

And they learn from it Slowly and surelee.

The main problem is that all the negitive people also smurf and yell at new people instead of people who would be willing to help becoming smurfs...

If you play bot games as a level 30 you may be paired with mostly level 30s so How can level 30s who want to help new people, meet these new people?

Who knows maybe it takes one nice higher level player to really motivate a newer player into enjoying the game! :3

I've done this as well, maliciously smurfing is so terrible for this games health. I liked better another idea for taking care of malicious smurfs which was reporting them as a skilled player so that they get moved up in their mmr.

She has that much smurfs in her games, because she is your sister. She should contact the support.
