Perhaps those in the League of Legends community in particular and gamers in general already know more or less about the “smurf” situation. These players actually have a lot of skill, but for some reason, they especially like to show off their skills to lesser players. The reasons to “smurf” are partly to satisfy personal ego, but over time have become a factor that negatively impacts the League of Legends community. Players encountering “smurfs” are easily defeated with overwhelming odds. Not to mention, many “smurfs” also aim to sell farming accounts.
“Smurf” in League of Legends is not a new situation
Of course, many gamers have encountered this situation, but no matter what reports or denunciations there are to Riot, everything is still in order. Because the “smurfs”' methods are increasingly sophisticated and in fact, their destruction of opponents in a game is not against Riot's regulations. Perhaps that just makes the player feel frustrated, but it is not a specific violation. However, recently, a “veteran” gamer had a way to deal with “smurfs” that made the community enthusiastically applaud.
Riot has not had a thorough solution to force players to be “self-reliant”.
Accordingly, a 60-year-old recreational player at Iron rank felt extremely frustrated when constantly experiencing “smurf”. So instead of making a futile effort to report to Riot, this person decided to use an account at the Master level (either given as a gift or self-purchased) and… continuously “feed” every game to pull in new players. Teammate players lose rank as well.
“This 60-year-old player was tired of smurfing in his Iron matches, so he decided to “reflect damage” and play in Master matches or higher with purchased or donated accounts and intentionally die to bring down teammates' rank (gigafeeds) in every match”
The actions of the “old gamer” made many people not only not feel uncomfortable, but also had to admit that this method was extremely “creative”. However, there are also mixed opinions that the actions of male gamers may affect “smurf” players, but also affect other normal gamers who just want to play games. Therefore, this method should not be replicated.
The community is extremely excited about this method
– “Riot and “smurf”, name a more classic duo”
– “Welcome to Brazil”
– “Truly a legend of League of Legends”
– “This is the content that I really love”
But the actions of the older male gamer also show that Riot has not really solved the problem that has existed for a long time. And when players begin to have to “rely on their own”, Riot will probably have to take even more drastic moves to prevent this situation.
