Account Sharing

Lately I have come across several accounts I suspect are being shared by multiple users. And today, while playing ranked I finally decided that I have had enough. Following is a link of the user I suspect to be account sharing: http://i.gyazo.com/25c339e75a091bd24900541b9f9d2b73.png

I am not sure the rules about these forums but I would like to get some attention to this sort of issue. NOTE: This is pure speculation, but the facts ARE here.

This player was most likely a smurf, or an account being shared. The player first off, had switched their summoners, although I know riot doesn't often take that into account when decided if the account is being shared or not (could've sworn Lyte posted about that somewhere). But moving on. Runepage 20 on this account is the active runepage found in this game, going strictly against this users play-style and layout of runes, which are very neat! This player is a clear support main, with no games played on Udyr. Also the games played in the jungle have been exceeding incomparable to this game.

After checking through all the recent games NA.OP lets me see, flash was never on this keybind before. This player shows numerous games of sub-par performance for their elo and a lack of in game skill completely noticeable compared to the Udyr in my game. This Udyr would often flash-e targets with precision (not incredibly hard, but definitely something you need to have experience on Udyr to understand). His counterjungling and awareness of summoners cooldowns and positioning was more of a diamond elo playerl; and I usually play with my diamond friends so I do notice this skill difference. This player was on my list of best junglers I have ever seen and this was in a extremely low elo, low mmr plat.

In addition their most recently created mastery page: page 20, is titled the Udyr Backpack, something that would most likely be named by a smurfing player.

My frustration is pretty high right now so I will end this soon. All I want is for things like this to be stopped. We see it a lot in game, especially with players approaching ranked thresholds, i.e. Plat/Gold etc. Frankly, it is completely unfair. When I play ranked I am searching for yes, more competition, but something like this goes above and beyond and makes the game nearly impossible.

you do know that instead of posting things in the forums you should bring attention to stuff like this directly to Riot via a support ticket right?

Send me a link because whenever I type in stuff like "submit a ticket" it takes me to like personal account problems

Or he could be like me. Play champions you would normally not play and then when you want to rank up your shit account lock in your main.

i have 7 accounts and if i get serious in silver or gold people always call me challenger as a joke of course. Highest account i have is plat 4 and i know i can possibly get into diamond, but i just find it to much work and rather have fun on my low's

as long i am not first pick i will always pretty much win my lane and just let the rest of the team carry me :P

Looking at last season he played uydr vary well even if it was 2 games. So it is vary possible he is smurfing

I wouldn't say 1 game is enough to prove a player guilty. Their opponents could have pushed really stupidly and fed him or something. He could have practiced with Udyr in other modes or on his other accounts or something, too. Like when I just recently started wrecking with Janna in ranked. I had really bad stats with her in ranked but then I practiced a bunch with her outside of ranked and then went back to it and started wrecking with her.

Also flash e is so easy to do. Just press f and e. That's literally all their is to it assuming you've already clicked on them and have your cursor on them. In fact, Udyr is such an easy champion it's possible this guy just tried him for the first time and had read some guide and just picked up how to do well with him that fast. They could've had many wards that made it very easy for him to tell where the other team was which made him seem a lot more aware of what was going on than you might expect. Really there are just too many variables that go into 1 game to draw that many meaningful conclusions from it.
