@Riot, getting Tired of smurfs playing in the low elo brackets

It seems like every time i want to play a ranked game these days im dealing with 3-4 smurfs on the enemy team. Now i don't see a problem with smurfing usually but its getting to the point where so many of them are just doing it to dominate against less skilled players and there's more and more of them in each ranked game. I feel there would be an easy fix to this as you should use players level as one of the filtering mechanisms for ranked games. that way when that level 30 smurf comes in he has a higher probability of playing against someone else's smurf account. and the lower skilled player who actually belong in that elo but are level 150+ on their mains will get paired with other players around the same level.

Smurfs exist.

But..... if you're claiming there's 4 on the opposing team, you're delusional.

What you're really seeing:

Someone got an early lead, and the other players anchored to them and follow everything they do, so their organized performance is dominating your mediocre performance and your team's poor performance.

It's not hard for someone armed with a gun to shred several paper tigers. Itemization and levels rule this game.

There might be one smurf. There might be 0. But there's definitely NOT 4.

Tell me what player is level 30-40 on a main account in season 9?

Banned players. Legitimately new players. Some smurfs. People who left game and came back. Casuals.

P.S. I checked your games. Not many level 30's.....

There are 2 in your entire ranked career. Both ended their games with subpar scores, like a 7/8 Singed.

In fact, you're one of the only people on your teams without a rank..... (Level 131)

You're just crying because you started your placements vs Gold/Silver I players and dropped clear down to Bronze/Silver IV games.

The chances of an enemy team even having one smurf aren't that high, saying they have 3 to 4 every game is hilarous.

There are smurfs, but i doubt there smurfs in every single game you play in ranked, but if there is i doubt there are always smurfs on the enemy team and not yours

you can only tell on the enemy team as it shows you the level of the account and not the ranking of the player. and yeah when your starting a game and you have a 4 level 30 - 40 accounts playing complex champions and going legendary constantly its obvious. and when they get the account out of the lower ranks they just make a new one and keep doing that over and over again rather than playing against people of their skill level.

I looked at your games. You build nonmeta Ezreal build and feed with it. 10+ deaths a game are common. on Ezreal. The game's best peeler.

You see smurfs everywhere because generally you feed.

If you're gonna lose a game, and you want to get better... at least take notes(not even physical notes) xD

You aren't gonna win every game, and even challenger players go on loss streaks... just make a point of learning something... especially if you know your enemy is significantly more experienced than you... knowledge is free and you should learn as much as you can.. otherwise ur gonna stay hardstuck.( I know I am xd)
