How do I tell when I'm playing against a smurf?
I'm bronze, so I don't really have the game sense to tell. How do I tell smurfs apart from people who are just good for bronze?

The way they move. A bronze is more calculated, more predictable. A smurf is more improvisational. They will usually abuse how you move. Also, minion wave management.
If they say they're a smurf, 9 times outta 10 they're not a smurf.
I find 70%+ winrates more telling than actual game stats.
Theres some awful players in a macro sense who have pretty decent mechanics, and theres lots of low elo players who are more than happy to say they're smurfing (and hence why they're doing good) or they're smurfing and don't care about that account (and hence why they're doing bad), despite being on their mains.
