rubberduckie666·Mar 12, 2015·4 votes·584 views

im only gona play support or if im grouping up with some new guys thw role they dont want to play. my idea is to help people learn the game and i mean both teams. let people know what its best/better to build for the champ there playing.

when i was really knew to lol(litteraly the first game i played after downloading) i ran into some one who was just helping every one being nice to every one but nearly every game after that i ran into people that were just being assholes to every buddy. I want to be that one guy people run into and just have a good time while learning the game

PLEASE DONT CRUCIFY ME FOR WANTING TO HELP PEOPLE

Edit:gona give the helpfull smurf account a go will make a follow up thread with the results wish meh luck

I think it's a nice idea, but to be fair, you are 1 person out of THOUSANDS OF THOUSANDS of players. If you do decide to do this, I would love a follow up thread and hear how it went. I'm not trying to be pessimistic here I just don't see it working as you intend. Here's an example: You: Hey you should start X item, it works well on that champ especially vs X champion for these reasons. Them: I think X is better dude You: I am a plat smurf trust me Them: My dad owns riot stfu kid.

Im sure you can help a handful of people, but for what reasons do you feel you need to start an entire new account to do so?

thinking that id have a higher chance to run into new players on a new account than on my level 30 not actually sure if thats how it works but thats the idea

The first few levels yes. For me, once I hit between lvls 10-13, I found myself playing with people at my mains elo. (which was silver 1) at the time, so I would have some people unranked at lvl 14, who were all smurfs @ my lvl of play. or have lvl 30s who were say bronze 4.

TL;DR the window of helping a new player is small, Unless ofc you intentionally lose.

Playing on my lvl 19 smurf right now.

Teambuilder puts me up against Diamond and platinum players 80% of the time, while i don't even have a full rune page.

Playing on my real account: Teambuilder always puts me up against people the same level as me.

It's no wonder new players give up on the game before they reach level 30. I guess you can be some kind of angel and smurf to help out actual noobs, but it's not going to solve the problem of the smurfs who smurf to stomp noobs, and shitty matchmaking that puts beginners against Plats.

I would rather fight a plat smurf than a gold account. Because at least with the smurf we are even regarding runes.

There's no counterplay to an enemy who has a full rune page loaded with T3 runes while you aren't even allowed to equip a second quint.

Thats because its not about your "rank" : Unranked, bronze, silver, gold etc. its your hidden elo. that matches you vs the ppl ur vs.

I'm bronze5 on my main acct.

I have no business being matched with plats. Also, even if we are even in skill, there is nothing i can do about the rune situation.

Yes, I shall crucify you.. so that you become greater than you ever were in smurf-life! Your story shall inspire the masses to do likewise for the ages to come! It shall start a revolution, if not a religion!
