League of Legends & the smurf accounts MUST...

[quote=XeresAce]Eh, smurfing is alright. Sometimes you get stomped, sometimes someone on your team stomps the enemy team and it all evens out eventually. I see no reason to be so salty about it. Personally I think that even if you do get facerolled there's still /something/ you can learn, albeit very minimal. This is especially true if the smurf is on your team, so you can more closely follow their decisions and plays.[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]Hey, it's hard being a smurf at times, when you're counting on x player behind x champion to use x ability or respond to what you're doing and they don't :^)[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]The only major difficulty with smurfs at low ELO is that they have a tendency to get something like double everybody else's CS which leaves them 2-3k gold ahead without counting kills.[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]I feel like you should be able to learn from getting facerolled if you're at least diamond. Whenever I took on pros in soloqueue/5s/scrims I didn't feel like they were so beyond my level that we couldn't do anything. Theres a reason and a basis behind every successful play, you just need to identify it. If you can't, then well, you aren't that good. As for smurfing, its because people want to play the fkin game at higher elo lol. Queue times are ridiculous, and when you start running into familiar faces of people you don't particularly enjoy playing with, sometimes people just want to blow off steam. On top of that, in high elo games are often decided more by which team gets less people that overlap main roles, and games can get frustrating real fast. When I wasn't super high up the ladder, I always enjoyed playing against smurfs. Playing against good players makes you better faster. When you get better you climb faster. Sure you'll probably lose LP in the short term, but if you're good enough you'll get it back. If you aren't, then who cares? You didn't belong there anyway.[/quote]

[quote=utopus]Something that hasn't been pointed out yet is that well, exactly how do you know that you'd be playing against a smurf? Someone could very well just be having a good game[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark][quote=FalseoGod]Hey, it's hard being a smurf at times, when you're counting on x player behind x champion to use x ability or respond to what you're doing and they don't :^)[/quote] Can relate. ;-; All my seemingly suicidal [[talon]] [[flash]] engages at low elo actually ARE suicidal when my team doesn't follow it up.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Would it be fair to say you do learn from laning against a smurf if you actually pay attention to their movements and actions in lane? For context, in our inhouse games, even if I find it insanely annoying to be laning against Thalia or Bryun, I do learn a lot from their actions against me, I feel. Also, I never veered off topic, lugi. I think thats your go to response to me being mean to the... less smart members on the site.[/quote]

Even that doesn't mean stuff because we all know them "I'm an XX smurf" and just by the way they play - bad or good game - you can tell it's bullshit. I think people after a certain level can detect smurfs or, at least, smurfs when they themselves are smurfing. Details like positioning and confidence in their plays can be very revealing, as well as smaller things like skillshot dodge/hit rates.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]You're heavily underestimating how bad bronze is.[/quote]
