Playing Against Smurfs in Normals (Read Before Flame)

Embrace Eternity·Dec 2, 2016·1 votes·1,434 views

I've literally been playing a little over 5 months. I'm a fast learner. Everyone is accusing me of smurfing (and I'm playing against smurfs).

I am not toxic. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, if anything at all. I've recently bought some champions (with ip, of course) and have done extremely well with them with help from guides such as MOBAFire and YouTube videos. I have a high KDA with these champs as well.

I don't mean to sound b*tchy, but it's getting annoying. Should I just /mute all? Playing against smurfs ruins my experience because they are too good for me.

Thanks,

A concerned Bronzie

Thanks for your reply.

I don't want to sound asinine, but what is the point of smurfing?

Thanks again.

Yeah. If I play in low elo I often get accused of trolling or have some idiot rage at me for "not knowing how to play" because bronze only knows how to play ARAM. Even after you carry them to victory they don't understand, they just act like it was their 20/20/0 KDA that won the game.

Hey there and welcome to the world of League. Don't be concerned about it in the slightest. Because of Riots "system" and how the ranking ladder functions. Smurfing ends up being an incredibly common practice at all skill levels of the game. Hell I was once accused of being some korean smurf account that was scripting when I played zilean in this one game long ago. It just happens and when it does just let it happen. But anyway as a fellow bronzie myself I have only this to offer you.

Don't do /mute all, instead mute a person the moment "you" think they're being toxic. If they give you a single ounce of flame, mute them. /mute all should only be used in severe situations and you don't want to become a tilted wreck.

Thanks for your reply.

I will start muting the toxic people. I try to ignore it and you're right, it's very tilting.

Thanks again!

"Should I just /mute all?"

Yes. Like, you answered your own question. If they are annoying, mute button is there for you, buddy.

Embrace EternityDec 2, 20161 votes

Thanks for your reply.

I noticed GripeX do that during his streams. I will start to do that as well. Thanks :)

There is just no reason to listen to flames. If you use chat to comuincate with team and they do that as well, sure, keep chat. But if all that is going down is blaming people and insults, just mute all and focus on the game. I still believe pings are more than enough to communicate

Mute flamers, play the game. Some of the reason people play on smurfs is for what they consider an easy game. Me personally with the stupid normals system atm i keep being pitted against plats and diamonds, so i am more and more tempted to just play on my smurf for a little while since its only lvl 16, so i do not have to deal with being camped every game just because im the only silver, or the highest ranked on my team..... Whenever im not support, i get camped. When i do support, they try camping, we get triple, so they bring 5 next time.... Really annoying.

you are lvl 30, what smurfs you are talking about

Embrace EternityDec 2, 20161 votes

People with shit win rates, but high KDA on difficult champs like LeBlanc, Viktor, Rumble, etc. Not saying they're too hard. But they're hard for people just starting out/ not playing long time. OH and the big one: No stats prior to s6. Large gaps between games, i think you understand.

Thanks for you reply
