Ehem, Riot? Are you sure your match making isn't broken?

Just about every Normal Draft game for me. Thanks a lot, they're very fun.

Proof that this isn't 1/5 or 1/10 games occurrence, the next game:

It's called smurf que. It's made to balance match making for low level-non smurfs.

And they throw smurfs into the gutters :^)

It's Riot's attempt to get smurfs banned (again, presumably) by throwing them all together into the most toxic situations imaginable with all the other incredibly toxic smurfs.

I received a chat restriction for getting pissed over these games. In three games some "platinum" or "diamond" ranked dude in my team and his/her premade group just fed like punch of monkeys and were giving me cancer through internet. So I finally had enough and asked if they're boosted idiots or just trolling. Then the shit hit the fan. Flame, mocking and other BS from their group, since I was tilted I just had a flame war with them until FF20. But My response to the chat restriction: https://media0.giphy.com/media/E9mKtFYH2uUMM/200_s.gif

I seriously don't, I'm not going to touch this game for quite some time. I thought the early levels with low elo "smurfs" was bad, but this is even dumber. constantly against 4-5 man premades of platinums/Diamonds, meanwhile my teammates are some degenerate monkeys who haven't discovered the art of peeling bananas.

Your name is a League reference, you're level 28, you know about boosting and EXP boosts and you're paired with Diamond level players and smurfs (who may have lower 'actual MMR's, but it doesn't look like it)

There are two ways I have experienced ... someone who is..................... not a smurf - can get into the smurf queue.

  1. You do exceptionally well- a new player can maybe reach low-Gold style play on a single, easy to play champion.
  2. You get boosted by either queueing with or being matchmade (happens sometimes) with higher elo player or their smurf account. (both could theoretically happen simultaniously, leading to a mega-boost)

I've been in the smurf queue a few times- if you don't belong there, it'll remove you. You could end up carried for a few games, but if you're actually new you'll be a handicap to them each match. You'll simply lack the ability to make any calls on your own, or to play counterpicks. I say this not to imply you're bad at the game, but out of respect for higher elo players, whose gameplay aims for perfection.
