What do people think about smurfing?

I’m in emerald and really every 3rd game there is this one 35lvl account stomping my team (or gifting me a free 21min win). I’m not having fun playing with or against them, unless I lane against them.

Do people and these smurfs even realize how much toxicity they create by making our Riven go 1/13?

    Smurfing is bad, but having multiple accounts isn’t - ESPECIALLY while you’re learning champions.

    Look, Reddit, let’s have a look in the mirror, you’re not very good at the game. You’re definitely not good enough to play the champion you have 5 matches on as optimally as the champion you have 200.

    Having multiple accounts where you play only certain champions or only certain roles at the least will let you know what level you actually play x role or x champion at. For example, if you’re a challenger Yorick 1-trick spamming support lux because of a wild hair, then you’re probably playing her at an emerald or low diamond level at best, but you’re in chally lobbies.

    If you’re a gold Yorick 1-trick spamming lux support because of a wild hair, then you’re probably playing her at a bronze or silver level at best, but you’re still in your gold lobbies.

    Having multiple accounts can let you know where you are actually.

      Normals are for that, norms and ranked mmr are different. If u use norms to try new champs u will have an mmr according to ur level with them. If your complain is normals not being tryhard enough then the problem is yours and all the ppl that think like that. Its the same as ppl that claim flex is shit cause no one takes It seriously. If all of u started treating those queues with the respect they deserve then there wouldnt be any problem to begin woth and would have 3 different queues with 3 different mmr to play on the same acc instead of 3 accounts.
