Rank distribution - League of Legends

A master smurf just ruined a perfectly winnable silver 4 game. then proceeds to tell us all to learn our roles.

So, how exactly can we learn while you league of draven our faces? You jerk offs got the opportunity to learn this game nice and slowly and discovered the necessary skills to get out of bronze then silver then on to gold, etc.

What makes you think we can just be master tier on demand? we are obviously silver for a reason. Some of just are trying to learn why, and how to get out without getting boosted or carried so hard that we learn nothing.

I watch so much league content on youtube to "git gud" ive had two coaches. i started dumb and bronze and actaully had to climb from bronze 5 to silver. I am proud of my progress. I know im really close to hitting my summoner power spike to get to gold this season IF and only IF i dont have to fight through all these diamond + smurfs doing their stupid unranked to diamond or whatever series for their pathetic youtube channel.

If Riot would like to continue to enjoy its success, something needs to happen before the bulk of their income disappears.

In a lot of discussions the "low elo" voices dont matter...I get it, we dont know what were doing. But as far as who is supporting Riot games financially, our voice is not only loud but the most authoritative.

As you can see by the distribution here...low elo consists of the bulk of Riots Customer base.

So how long can you continue to allow our experience to be so shitty that we are disinclined to spend any money?

food for thought

man it hasn't affected me none, ive been climbing steadily this season, minor hiccups here and there but no huge issues, second these smurfs will more then likely carry your games or be the one to destroy u in a game, I mean it happens but they do not stay in your elo for long they climb very fast just because they win so much they get bumped through divisions, they really are not as bad as people claim your not the first person to complain and won't be the last but the truth of what I say is undisputable. Food for thought

How would you propose identifying smurfs? You don't need to enter address or naming information. Would you prefer that you have to had a credit card on file? Your address? Name? Social Security number? Really, verifying your social security number. There is not a lot to be done to identify you as the same person who owns another account... since as a person, you can own several credit cards.

Do you want to give your social security or other personally identifying information to Riot?
