To the lower elo players that smurf for the purpose of playing provisionals

You dont need a smurf. Sure you might get lucky in provisionals and start in silver now instead of bronze but it doesnt help the fact that you are still not good enough to be there so you will actually start losing a bunch of games till you are where you belong. Lets be honest if you are in bronze or silver and blame your teammates for you not being able to get out or you have "too many games so now its impossible" its not you just have dunning kruger syndrome ill explain what that is. "The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude." a good player could take a bronze/silver account and win just about every single game and get it higher extremely quickly. And with a winning streak you will rank up and start having your lp gains be normal again.

incorrect usage of that phrase. Its just straight up advice these people need to hear. Ive seen multiple threads today where bronze players are making new accounts to play provisionals because they think they deserve silver or gold when in reality if they play enough games they will go down in elo and be back to square 1

What i said was a joke. Honestly don't take it to seriously. I said it cause when read it sounds like you are telling people from low elo that they suck (not gonna say they don't) and that a good player can carry there account much higher then they could hence the joke "shots fired"
