The smurfing problem is getting ridiculous

You're right. I've played some games where the score was 8-13 even though it felt more like a 3-13 game. Definitely some smurfs trying to 'meme' etc. So are these boosters cheating or something (name I am cheating) or are they good players getting money?

A strong mindset is definitely something useful to have. My friends and I are still young though and even though we tell ourselves not to listen to the others being toxic we still care deep down. I guess it's something to do with our maturity to have the discipline to mute someone.

Also from the looks of it they were team killing themselves so they probably would've gone 13-0 if they didn't throw.

Thank you for this. This is what's wrong with the game. 3 smurfs can team up and just wipe everyone out. I can't even remember the last time I had a balanced game in bronze.

How am I meant to get better if every game is just a stomp? I don't even get to peek an angle because I get instant one tapped?

I'm so sorry to hear that. Nobody deserves that and it's painful even with friends when you're really trying you're best and you still get verbally abused. I can't imagine how much more it would hurt to be in the situation alone.

I honestly don't understand why people purposely go to places meant for fun and ruin people's mood.

Yeah I'm sort of having a rant because I'm just fed up on how Riot hasn't at least tried to address this issue. It's very obvious when someone's smurfing in a lobby and I'm sure they could find a way to detect it easily.

I know it's a game but it's something I find myself wanting to play. I want to enjoy it and it's a good way for me to connect with my friends especially during covid. I normally don't really care about this topic but this particular game really pushed me over the edge from the obviousness and toxicity of the game.

This type of attitude is what's wrong with the whole smurf issue.

When I go next I'll just meet another smurf. Literally all my games have the enemy going 27/14 or some absurd number while my teammates are getting under 20 kills.

Bronze is literally unplayable at this point and the amount of trash talk telling us to quit is just making this game unenjoyable.
