id really like to play this game with my friends but there are too many smurfs even at the lowest levels of the game, like theres a guy with an account on silver or gold then he decides to make a new account and bully the newbies which is really bad for the game as it makes the newbies quit and then now my friends dont want to play this game with me cuz of this problem
sincerely, WowCrocco
because they honestly cant.
I cant find the post right now but RIOT has said that their matchmaking is really good at putting smurf with other smurfs very quickly, yes you can still run into them occasionally before they are sorted but they wont be matched up against legitimately new players for long
I'll try to find the link later
Smurfing is not against the rules.
Smurfs mostly play against other smurfs, so if you're smurfing you don't get an accurate picture
If OCE-server is anything like RU - remove all smurfs and the server is dead. Too few people want to regularly play on an inferior or flat out bad server.
Because there's no reasonable way for them to determine beyond doubt that an account is a smurf.
And on top of that, there may be reasons for having a smurf that are reasonable. For example, I'm currently considering making one not to go beat up on lower ranked people, but because I used to have MMR in the range of high silver to low gold, but my ability to play this game has atrophied to the point where I'd guess I'm now mid-bronze. And yet, no matter how long I sustain a win rate well below 50%, my MMR does not budge one bit. So I'd be making a smurf so I'm able to actually play with people near my skill level.
Is smurfing himself, complains about smurfing.

Mainly because actively trying to find a way to cull them would do more harm then good.
There are pros and cons to smurfs. On one hand, smurfs usually stupidly destroy and demolish a new player. On the other hand, there are some people who smurf things other than Yi and Yasuo, and who are not total toxic ***holes. Often times they will try to help out newer players learn the game a bit more than they might just by themselves.
its simple, dont play with them at lower levels, if your duoing with them or even on a different account YOUR the one getting them put with smurfs
