Riot needs to address smurfs... Oh, and BALANCE YOUR FUCKING CHAMPIONS

Was just playing a game in which a smurf was present. How do I know this? Because I looked at their match history.

On this page, this summoner had won most of his games with lopsided scores of something like 19/2/14 as Kalista.

Now you might think "Oh that champ is just broken as fuck and the dude was exploiting it".

To that I say, YOU ARE GODDAMN CORRECT.

However, the bigger issue is that the dude was an obvious smurf. He has about 20 games this season on this account, 18 of which were on Kalista. He has an 83% winrate on the champion, with most of the losses being on obvious thrown games (0/8/0, 1/7/2, 0/15/3). The fact is, Riot needs to find some way to deal with this. There needs to be a report option for smurfing, because it completely unbalances the already unbalanced game.

Also, Riot, fix your fucking champions. Kalista is so freaking strong right now that there isn't a single champion that can match her damage output and mobility. Kassadin, Lee Win, and Nidalee can't match her mobility, her inherent build sustain is unmatchable by any champions, and I'm not even going to mention her E. The sheer amount of damage that can be done by that ability is not only unbalanced, but also gamebreaking. You can't run from this champion, and you can't catch this champion. She's far too safe. No matter what the situation.

How do I propose you fix her? Delete the bitch off the face of the planet. There is no solution to that mobility.

There's no way to stop smurfs and it's really not that big of a deal. If you go against smurfs in a ranked game and get outplayed, it's because you didn't practice enough.

How exactly do you know for sure he's a smurf? I had a friend who came over from DOTA 2 who actually did fairly well with little explanation. He was placed super low at first, but quickly plowed through bronze and into low gold. Is he a smurf that deserves to be banned? How exactly do you tell the difference between him and the veteran plat player who decided to make a new account?

Your proposed fix: There is a reason that you will never be hired by any gaming company. In fact there's a reason they don't hire anyone like you.

I got nothing.

I rarely smurf, and it's only to play with my noob friend, but I try to play "fairly" (I don't stomp lane, I give them a chance by not 100-0'ing them just because I can).

But hey, some champions are strong when built right (and it's unfair for veteran players to exploit that). I can build lichbane on Lux and annihilate anyone, but I don' because I'm a decent human being that wants people to have fun at this game.

Also, I hate to say this, but you're level 30. The best thing you can do right now is to wait for the mmr system (which several people have problems with) to balance in your favor.
