It is harder to Win Games while Smurfing for Lvl 30 than winning D5 on my Main

So this account I am posting from is my smurf. My main is on LAN. I can testify and say right now that winning normies on this account is way harder and far less enjoyable than my D5 promos.

I always go against a premade of smurf that really knows what they are doing. These people usually ROFL-stomp their respective lanes and continue to stomp the match. Meanwhile all the inexperienced players are full of hate for some reason, and proceed to name call each other, int and/or AFK. Seriously unless I get on my main champs and straight up tryhard in the jungle I can't win games. Usually if I pick a lane I am the only player doing well on my team (Solo player with high MMR and APM = 4+ noobies I guess) and get chain ganked to oblivion, to the point where I can't even play the game.

You've discovered part of the reason it's so toxic at low level, what a lot of people call ELO Hell, is because the matchmaking is utter shit around that range, smurfs mess it up even further, but it's pretty messed up to begin with. Things like a team of unranked players (who clearly are not smurfs) against Golds or higher, you can almost predict precisely who's going to win at these lower level matches because they are so imbalanced.

You are almost guaranteed to have at least one person who appears to be feeding (whether it's intentional or not) because they are against gold diamond or higher, and so the 'int feeder' and 'noobs on my team constantly' threads pop up even more as a result. What they don't realize is it's not their team they should be blaming, it's the matchmaking for putting two people with vastly different levels of skill in the same game.
