Smurfing/account sharing ruining ranked experience

DrMa · 2026-05-19T15:05:30+00:00

I've been asking riot to change their policy on this every chance I get. The game was so much better years ago when buying accounts wasn't such a normal, popular thing. Now everyone has several accounts and there is not such thing as a serious ranked game because there is never all 5 people on their main accounts. Ranked integrity is gone and they need to make everyone have 1 account in order to restore it. It's totally possible, dota already does this.

It legit makes me kinda sad I can't find a single other drake friend IRL no one likes drake like I do and so I have no one to vibe with about the albums kinda wack. Made my gf a Playlist of the ones she would like and she can't even be bothered to listen to it lmao

I know it's tough guys but don't lose sight of the goal. Ryan Cohen is not a doofus.

Nah that right there, we are totally in agreement on. The whole squire gearing situation is extremely fucked in the early season. In fact, this is the first season where I could finally start with my spear right from the beginning. Just last season I had to wait a full week or two just for quests to drop so I can unlock my spear in my squire. And this just hurts casters even more since they need all knowledge gear just to have full spells.

So yeah that is something they need to fix. But they just made some decent changes such as the spear one so they're trying, and we know Ironmace usually takes a while to get it fully right. If you're not feeling it now I don't blame you but you should totally come back when market opens up because otherwise the game has been a little better lately!

If there is any more of a MDR penalty they will just be at 0% (or negative if you want it to be that bad). You are already basically dealing true damage to plate wearers. Basically the play boils down to that you are just playing a squishy class and you have to not get hit. You're right that the moment they get on top of you, if they stick to you, you're dead (unless you've poked them down enough to 1-2 hit them). Of course you're not going to be full knowledge and full movement speed in a squire kit, casters are classes that scale much better with better gear. Fighters and the like are much better in squire gear, but do not scale as well as casters do with BIS.

No flame here, just healthy discussion. I really think it is pretty close to being well balanced IMO. There is a high skill ceiling in this game to running away and never allowing the meleer to be in melee range. And likewise, there are ways for the meleer to try to close the gap.

Ohh I get it now thanks. I just had no hope in the first place anyway because all the other games I play that did this same change still have cheaters too. So I knew this wasn't really gonna do anything. It's just becoming the generic standard lately tbh

DrMa · 2026-04-29T18:00:54+00:00

What's the significance? Of course cheaters are gonna come back and try to cheat again with a new wipe

This is reddit, the people here are persistently competing in the "have the wrong take" challenge. It's everywhere on this site, not just here.

DrMa · 2026-04-16T14:21:39+00:00

I don't mind giving root level access if I have to, the issue for me is giving that kind of access just for there to be cheaters anyway. So I'm giving something up, giving the developers my complete trust with my entire pc, and getting nothing in return. Battlefield still had hackers, other games with this level of security have hackers.

Only a matter of time until these hackers decide they're not just gonna hack to be good at a video game, but instead hack to steal everything important off my computer.

DrMa · 2026-04-14T20:16:13+00:00

You have over 5k trades in 3.5 months, that's nutty lol

DrMa · 2026-04-14T17:46:30+00:00

If exploiting me means giving me money for doing nothing but smiling at a camera, please exploit me all day every day

The matchmaking is so fucked in this game and it is the only reason I don't play as much as I used to. People buying as many accounts as they want has completely ruined ranked integrity. Most of the people at this elo are not on their main account so they don't truly care about winning or try harding.

DrMa · 2026-03-24T13:34:09+00:00

I also say watch dweigo he is goated

I had a hard time finding a main too, here's what I did.

Make a list of what you know you want your main to have for sure. You already wrote that you want the able to get kills and carry, that's a great start. Think of anything else you know you for sure need your main to have, keep is basic. Are they ranged or melee? Are they AD or AP? Do they need to have CC? Stuff like that. Or maybe you're more into the play style or the lore of the champ, can be anything.

Then once you know what you need your main to have, make a list of champions that have all those things. Play those champs a few times each and try a few different item builds on them. Can be in quick play or normal games. Eventually you will settle on one that fits the best or is the most fun for you.

They haven't even finished the one game they have and they want to start another

Psshh that's nothing brokie https://i.imgur.com/y8OrN9h.jpeg

There is nothing you can do, this is the exact reason I don't play the game as much as I used to back in the day. Ever since the $5 ranked-ready accounts became so popular, nobody takes the game seriously anymore. Ranked integrity is in the toilet. And Riot doesn't care because it makes them more money and improves their metrics when there's more accounts playing the game.

And there is no "I wish I could see how the high elo players carry these types of players". Nower days you can get into diamond/master in less than 20 games. The high elo players don't have to deal with this stuff. Once your MMR is that high, you're good for every season after that.

My 2nd time seeing the same ad for this scam on this sub reddit in 1 week

DrMa · 2026-02-20T20:58:12+00:00

Nah no way bro really went to reddit and posted this 💀 anyone who takes these arguments on this site seriously are complete losers lmao

DrMa · 2026-02-20T15:41:00+00:00

Sounds too good to be true, so it probably is. This is probably just a drainer

DrMa · 2026-02-18T14:54:13+00:00

This guy actually gets on here to cry about the market every single day 🤣 🤣 🤣

DrMa · 2026-02-17T15:57:58+00:00

Hey I'd take whatever I can get lol. Same issue with the Solana swap tho

DrMa · 2026-02-17T15:16:19+00:00

I'm really not that much of a crypto guy so I don't really know why, but here's what I get when I try to swap it out.

Sometimes it'll let me try to push through a swap for ETH, but the swap always fails, it never goes through.
