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?
There are two types of smurfing which people try to make as equal.
If you do it once and play an account to a consistent level, no one should care. You only make a small number of games unfair once.
Who cares if you have one account at 50% win rate at your max elo and another account also at 50% win rate a tier below because it’s your offrole.
This isn’t the problem compared to people making 100s of new accounts just to stomp. You don’t catch that “fair use” “smurf” account with phone verification or banning botted accounts because a second phone number isn’t unreasonable and you probably leveled that account by hand.
