Really tired of encountering smurfs now

Right now the only thing I can do is bend and wait for them to finish me. Does riot plan doing something to ranked smurfs?

PS:I'm in silver, but I think being is low elo doesn't justify having to deal with really high smurfs that just decide the course of the game

Edit:The image below is one of the smurfs that i've encountered and to show as a example

see thats not really a smurf... smurf rarely stay in the same elo for long, till they climb back. this guy is purposely staying low elo for the sole purpose of shit stomping. you see hes singed games? those are to purposely stay silver. Smurfs usually don't stay outside their main rank for long. they climb quickly

but seriously, having a smurf in your game is a GIFT. so much opportunity to improve

Hey,

You are showing a extreme case of not even smurfing but someone deliberately screwing matches over so he remains at a certain rating.

Someone who actually "smurfs" will try-hard and climb up as fast as possible.

I'm going up and down diamond 3-4 on my main account and i can promise you that for me the only way to climb is to try my best every game and even then, it's not guaranteed that i'll climb outside of diamond.

It's quite stressful from time to time and i normally don't grind ranked games.

Had a old account lying around that i never really used and went from unranked to Diamond 5 within 60 games.

Just to see if i played champions i don't play on my main account i'd be able to carry/perform well and to experience the "elo hell bs" you see on the forums every day.

Sure, had a few people upset that i was smurfing. Funny enough you won't hear them complain when they get blatantly carried by someone else.

My point being, i played 60 games and over half of that was reasonably close to my main accounts elo (mid plat - low diamond wont complain if they have a diamond 3 player with or against them)

so i "decided" 30 games at a rating i could truly say i was smurfing. I didn't feed/troll/rage or do anything even remotely toxic. All chat disabled and i barely use the teamchat anyways.

Do you really think its that bad? just wondering.

Best Regards, Dushi

The thing i never get about smurfs, is they say it is a way to "judge where you truly belong" in the rank system. But if a diamond hits lvl 30 on a new account, he's going up against bronze and unranked players that they can rofl stomp, which automatically makes an unfair advantage, IE NOT "judging where you truly belong" because you are in such a high tier beforehand. Other reasons are because they bought every champion and rune. Which is true... and instead of being smart with mastery system or chromas, they made that a flop..... Heros of the storm I saw on a vid was amazing how they have chromas on EVERY skin, and some skins are only purchasable with gold (IP) and cannot be bought with real money, as of a way of gating people with money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t82zaa8JEI

My advice? Report that guy.

As mentioned above, he's not a typical smurf. He's intentionally keeping his rank low so he can ruin games.
