I've followed this subs complaints about smurfs for a long time....I think it is blown out of proportion. Smurfs exist but the bigger issue is the byproduct of smurfs - THE BOOSTEDs......Attached below are screenshots of "George" and "Lunar". George consistenly frags out while Lunar struggles to do anything of worth. I've followed this pattern for a couple of months in my Elo - One guy from the duo top frags while the other struggles and pulls the rest of the team down with them. Its recurring theme in Gold and Silver and maybe even in Plat - dont know. The problem with these boosteds isn't just a lack of aim..they are so fucking clueless that spectating them for one round tilts you. They dont com, They have terrible crosshair placement, Shit util usage and overall just really clueless and dependent on their duo to carry them. I can't think of a solution other than solo only queue..Now, the problem will be George and Lunar will be stuck around the same elo making everyone else's life miserable. This isn't an isolated incident, there are far too many of these duo groups that widen the skill gap within an elo and really make match making difficult and tilting. Its also gaming riots match making system because technically around the same elo but huge skill gap between us.

PS : George wasn't smurfing...he's good enough for the elo and can carry himself..Lunar on the other hand is Bronze to low silver at best
