Boosting in Lower Tiers

ThePfeif·4/22/2016, 4:33:23 AM·5 votes·832 views

I just got out of a pubstomp by 2 diamond smurf accounts. They admitted their original tier. Their buddy, the adc, did nothing spectacular; however, their top and mid proceeded to completely stomp the ever loving crap out of me and my team.

Why were they doing this? Because they were too high ranked to play with their friends.

Some of us are gated to our tiers and experiences by subpar gaming equipment, not enough time to commit to playing, watching streamers, or practicing key mechanics. So why should we be punished when we show genuine improvement and get matched against some boosting smurf and his bronze 2 pals.

I'm on a toaster of a laptop trying to scrape some enjoyment out of my gold competitive experience while finishing school. The few times I'm capable of jumping on and try to dedicate a couple hours to ranked, I would really rather some true competitive matches, as opposed to being pubstomped by some 2-bit diamond 2 yas on his 5 thousand dollar gaming rig bought by mom and dad while he flunks out of his first semester of college. Rito, show some love to players of all tiers. Some of us are proud that we at least made it to gold and enjoy the equal competition we, hopefully, find there.

Lol the amount of excuses you make for your failures are hilarious.

Get this buddy, I'm Diamond 3, went to school studied Commerce, worked my ass off on my summers off and saved up enough money on my own to buy a gaming Rig. All while having a girlfriend and maintaining my 6'1 185lb frame in good condition by going to the gym nearly every day.

I see why you're upset. However instead of making excuses of why people are better than you at life. Why don't you stop whining, work a bit harder and actually accomplish something for once.

the point of this? asking riot to prevent smurfing? smurfing will always be there. there is no way to stop it. besides riot is far too busy making chroma skins and coding the hextech giveusyouremoney system to take care of this.

So if someone plays games he still lives with his parents who buy him everything? Damn, didn't know that, I thought more people are like me, y'know, working, and buying their own stuff.
