Riot, whether you want to admit it or not, smurfing is a huge problem.

The last 3-4 games I played, I got smurfs in each one.(I’m b3-s1) The first game there was a smurf from diamond 3 who absolutely shit on my team, with a kda of 33 and 13. The game after that, another smurf from diamond 3, with a kda of 31 and 16, who aced 4 times. Then the next game, with a Phoenix who admitted to being a smurf 2 rounds in and said I’m just gold 2 it doesn’t matter. This smurfing problem is ruining the game for so many people and we would reallly appreciate a fix. A recommendation I had that I saw from someone else’s post would be something like prime queue. Prime queue is a thing in which people above level 50 with a registered phone number and more than 24 hours worth of play time get put into a separate queue aside from people who don’t fit all 3 criteria. This would severely cut down on the amount of smurfs in games, however, I do realize that smurfing will never be cut out of the game especially against low ranks.
