ah yes, im sure that is the intended purpose of valorant matchmaking, to educate people on the unfairness of capitalism and that there is always someone richer and better off than you who can make your life hell for their own entertainment. Thanks riot games, this is a lesson my bronze 3 friend who has time for a couple of games a night after working all day needed
u too
and remind urself losing a game because of smurf literally doesnt change anything
if u get mad about it, youre proving the fact that youre playing for the elo but not to improve
you cannot gain elo by not improving, thats not how rank works. ranked is designed to fit players in the same skill level. aslong as u dont improve youre gonna be stuck in the same rank
you could play 100 games of ranked without smurfs and you would still be in the same rank believe it or not
most people play the game casually and dont care about improving lol what the fuck are you talking about? smurfs waste time of low elo players who for all you know are just trying to enjoy the game in their free time. its as simple as that. losing a game to a smurf means you wasted time that could be spent playing a game against and with people your level.
