It's actually disgusting how many smurf insult new players

Like, fucking wow.

Excuse my language but fucking wow.

One of my more recent games, I enter a new Draft pick lobby. Top laner is duo'd with smurf ADC and he wants to switch with the support.

He tells us his top is new, and I believe this since this account I'm playing on is new.

Our ADC says that if he doesn't give support, he'll do a "Fun" pick.

Right off the bat when our supp says no he tell him to harm himself with a word I'm not allowed to say and instalocks Zed Now I'm sitting here, thinking "Why would you ever set that example for a new person?"

Then our support encourages this toxic behavior by locking in Nunu Support, and explaining that he'd "Rather troll with you than dodge"

To which our jg locks Yasuo jg

Now, I feel bad for my Top, he's new and he has to fight ap Malphite as Darius . Sadly, he's feeds a lot because it's clear the Malphite isn't new. Now, I don't flame or get mad, because hey, he's new. I shouldn't hold high standards. But this feels so horrible, since our Nunu now flames everyone and now starts calling Darius a "Troll"

I call him out on this, and he says being new not an excuse for not being good. Like, excuse me?! How high of standards does this person have?

Then our Yasuo Jg feeds, tells enemy team to harm themselves, and afks when we dont get a full ff vote...then we lose.

How can Riot let people do this to new people?! Why do they advertise their game as "New player friendly" when its the exact opposite. My heart goes out to that poor Darius having to experience this as a new player.

I swear some "smurf" aren't even smurf

They're just people making a new account cuz they got their old one permanent banned being hyper toxic and clearly didn't learn anything

Welcome to League, where smurfs have absolutely nothing to stop them.

I went against Malphite as Lissandra top. He completely destroyed me. Extended trades just blew my mana and he built AP so he chunked me. I died in our 1v1 and he all chatted "Liss, give me a challenge pls?". Whenever he would kill me he would just say "see ya". I asked him if he was always toxic, and he said "only when I have stupid easy lanes". Then he proceeded to BM me all game saying "you want advice against Malph?" "Yawn" etc. I just reported him. But I agree with you. People are douchebags.

I don't think anyone in that lobby was "new".

My solution to this is call out that player on their new account and say my what would happen if I were to report this newly made account you created for toxic behavior, let them spew their toxic shit out and dont say anything back, after game report and get all the instant feedback report's you please, serves them right

This has been a majority of my games recently and I feel like the report system is backwards that when people flame me, I'm the one that gets banned? I dont understand this. I have been trying to be understanding but some people just want to flame you. Welcome to league, and thanks Riot!

I started a new account on another server and was constantly getting flamed. My main account here on NA was under 100 and struggling to get to silver, although I played A LOT with a small champion pool so I feel like I was pretty good with who I played. Ended the season with about 850 games in the 7 months I played. I don't remember a lot of flame when I first started but I was playing with someone who had started just about a month before me, so his mmr was already set to match with lower skill players when I joined in. Trying to level this other account is hell, I still am not high enough to do ranked and my mmr hasn't been established because I get so tilted with the pinging over me and teams expecting that I should know exactly what every move they make means like steps to a dance that I'm still trying to figure out. I thought they addressed this issue with the new system but I think the biggest issue is that there aren't enough new players joining, most people who would play aready do or have another similar game they are faithfull to. In the last 2-3 months that I havnt been playing, I didn't see any advertisiments online or television or radio about the game. Ive only ever seen ads for this when I watch videos for it on youtube. That doesn't make it very easy for people to expand to truly new players. Maybe there should be an checkbox in sign up for those who have played at some point in the past so they can start with a good chunk of mmr ahead of the absolute bottom.

I took a long break partially because of the tilt of the other server, the tilt of being pushed back to bronze after finally establishing myself in the middle of S5...while my friend who went to jail in October and I played for him to reach silver, was pushed up to S4, and the chaos of preseason shenanigans being used in ranked, the tilt of the snowballing from new bounties and new towers making games not fun no matter if you win or loose (seriously winning in a landslide because we happened to be lucky enough to get the first tower plate before the lane enemies feels cheap and unrewarding)….. I am trying to force myself to play again, and I can only be so lucky that I don't need to start a new account and deal with the harassment of smurfs dumping on noobs as if being a new player is a bad thing. Half the LOL community is in bronze and iron. Let go of your EGO and be happy that there is still fresh blood to keep the game alive.

It's because they're overly compensating for their insecurities.

You can just buy a 10 dollar account and troll players get banned then buy another $10 account. (You wont get banned instantly it will take a while) They really have a bigger issue than smurfing IMHO. They have a worthless cash shop incentive as long as boosting and account sharing continues. There is actually a financial reason to end smurfing because it is linked to boosting and account sharing.
