Leveling a second account is a grand experience....

A few weeks ago i had this great idea, or so i thought. I said to myself "I am going to make a second account and maybe i will meet some new people to play with". I find ranked is hard to make friends everybody has a large ego, myself included at times. Maybe i am the problem maybe its just me. I made my new account did the first few bot games then off on my new adventure i go. Most of the time when i have issues with somebody or if i give up first blood i just mute my entire team it sucks that i have to do this but it seems the only way to avoid listening to the flame and getting triggered to the point of flaming back.

My account is currently level 21 i think i have played around maybe 80 games over the course of a few weeks, ALMOST everyday i have played i have gotten an instant feedback report saying a player has been punished, i have a total of 4 people add me (not that i have really reached out) and the only reason they added me was to "flame" me after the game some more.

I am so glad that this system exists leveling up a second account is just a complete mess of players with banned main accounts who didn't learn the first time and gold "smurfs" who think they are faker. Leveling a second account is an awful experience and i am glad new players do not get qued into this mess.

If you plan on leveling a second account with intent to meet some more casual chill players, think again its a complete mess and not a place to meet new people to play with.

Well... to be completely honest you likely weren't playing with new players because you aren't new. The matchmaking system is very good at determining - within 5 or less games - if a new account is actually new or not. Old players, even those who've only been playing a couple months, have vastly more knowledge than a truly new player, and thus will not be matched with new players, as it wouldn't be fair to the new players.

Coming from multiple friends who I've recruited into the game recently, the new player experience tends to be okay - it isn't perfect, but it certainly isn't as bad as it would seem to you or I if we levelled a new account.

It was pretty obvious to an extent.also pretty sad that you STILL mute everyone in LOW LVLs just because you can't handle it.Those were probably the casual players, but you should know better that they don't chill in this anti beginner friendly "fun" game of stressful legends since it's not like it's casual, relaxed, immersive,everyone didn't 1 shot mcgee past great self. If you wanted a shot at those new players you have to legit lose all your games, because that's where the most fun, friendly players are with a golden heart than those in ranked/experiences that don't know how to play but just usually pass by with enough right clicking with .65 attack speed will make you attack faster or you flash onto them for 1 dmg as the sup garen etc.
