Every single game I have played recently I ended up having lvl 30 account in the lobby. Most of the time it was botted account that have been sold with hundreds of Intro games that suddenly decided to swap their flash binding key before going into ranked.

These account make the matchmaking impossible to balance as you can stumble upon either a GrandMaster on a smurf or a legitimate new player completely lost. As someone who have always stagnated around Gold/Platinum elo in the previous seasons and now Platinum/Emerald, it’s really demoralising to try to grind when the matchmaking is usually the win-factor.

Riot really need to take actions against bought account and smurf as they are the biggest reason games are unfun and unfair to play. I know they will never touch it as it makes them some nice money and stats for the game, but it really made me stop going into ranked.
