The night I went blue ...
Bored with this LTM, I decided to try this smurfing lark. Here's how it ended up. Some observations: 1) It took me two attempts to complete training. The first time, LL's care package simply ...

I also have a smurf, but the main reason is to play with my noob friend. Since SBMM looks at the best player instead of the average team skill, it's impossible to play with my low skilled friends, and it has been since season 4, only gotten worse. So i made a smurf to play ranked with him, so i could grind my own rank on my main.
Everytime i want to play with friends they complain that the opposition is sooo much harder then when they play alone. And for me i still feel like i get the same lobbies with at least 8 preds, master and diamonds. I just get an even worse teammate (my friend) then normally. So tbh those kind of games are quite useless and not fun because he doesn't even realise what's happening before he get thirsted. So all that's left is to play a bit of ranked toegether on a smurf. But with the new system i have to watch out not to get too many kills or i rank up too fast and we can't play together anymore either.
So yeah this game got some serious issues.
Since the devs always love to blindly stare at stats they probably don't even realise probably half of their 'new playerbase' are just smurfs. And the only reason is the relentless SBMM that people get tired of because it results in the same game 99% of the time. Double the damage then both your teammates and running into a 3 stack. But hey, i guess people nowadays find it normal that the winrate of top 5% player is the same as a noob who only plays the game once a week. We are all winners!!!! is the motto the devs grew up with i guess.
