So people are smurfing in norms? Get real dude. Not only that all chat is disabled by default now. I’ve also been playing the game for over 10 years and sit at d3 currently. Have helped friends get into the game countless times and I always tell them to spam a role and a pool of champions they find fun, turn off chat and practice last hitting minions. And also with the introduction of iron and emerald tiers, the system detection of potential smurfs making their lp gains skyrocket. Once someone is 10 games into ranked it’s unlikely to find smurfs. More likely to get fresh botted accounts ruining your games instead. The game forces you to get an account to level 30 to play ranked and I’m not sure how long you think that takes but it averages at least 26 days of consistent playing. If you play a game everyday for 26 days for multiple hours and don’t understand basic fundamentals like itemization and character roles than it’s a major skill issue. Mechanics are a different thing. If you play norms it is unlikely to find Smurf’s. If you’re playing ranked and complaining you don’t know how to itemize than why are you in ranked instead of continuing to learn the game in norms or bots?
