A lot of content creators are great, and I love watching a lot too of course, but we need to collectively agree on stopping a certain amount.
Smurfing.
Please, stop supporting content creators who smurf for content.
"I got to radiant from iron" "BRONZE TO IMMORTAL WITH GEKKO ONLY" etc.
We all know that smurfing is ruining the game, many people post on here talking about how terrible it is, and how it's ruining their experience, and many of you know it as well.
There are two types of smurfing content creators, both bad.
The one who tries and destroys lobbies which is bad for obvious reasons.
The one who doesn't try and ruins it for their team.
No matter what, when they smurf they make other people do it too. Very simple, people see and want to experience the game. We all know riot won't do something because smurfing = bigger numbers, and obviously this won't stop already existing smurfs for the most part.
But please, let's try to make it a little better, for the future.
It would be a big ask to ask you all to stop supporting them completely, which I won't, but simply stop watching their smurf content. Watching it gives it more views and engagement, which reinforces to them that they should continue.
So as an example, I'm not saying "stop watching (insert creator)", just please stop watching and supporting their smurfing content.
