I know the high rankeds of the community will say the smurfing problem isn't that big of a deal and us low ranks blame every single 20+ kill on smurfing, which absolutely isn't true but it's beside the point.

If I encounter a smurf, a csgo refugee, someone who is just ON FIRE THAT DAY, whatever it may be and my team gets absolutely obliterated, why is it okay for days on days of 60-70% winrate close fought games to be erased in a matter of 1-2 games?

If I'm playing League of Legends and my team gets annihilated 0-35 scoreboard and we forfeit as soon as we can at 15 minutes, I don't lose 170 LP after the game. I lose the same amount as any other loss.

It feels terrible to spend days literally days grinding 1 or 2 arrows at a time to finally rank up and have two games knock me down two ranks because there was a Reyna w keying and one tapping everyone both games. It's entirely out my control and feels like I have to spend another week just to have it happen again. I'm trying to improve, trying to learn, and this is really demoralizing.
