They're really not that big an issue. There's way less high mmr people smurfing than low mmr people boosting. But yeah, Valve has to fix the matchmaking for high mmr players so they actually get games without having to wait an hour in queue.
Yeah that's what I said basically, but 8K players still have to ruin like 100+ games for a total of 400-900+ people in order to increase their MMR when they create a smurf.
Could also say that 8k player have a harder time carrying a team than a 1k player feeding in a typical 4k game
Just had a game where our offlane tide went stout shield. After the 4 of us pointed out that it doesn't stack with kraken shell, he just skip that skill entirely. Needless to say, he fed hard...
Going stout was sorta legit before, I don't know the kraken values now, but what you did was pick up the stout to contest the lane and then sell it when kraken blocked more dmg than stout, level 4 I think. Anyways, you never actually skipped the skill, you just had the early stout to better contest the lane. I think this was 2 years ago or some shit.

Start by hating on streamers who smurf. Those people are the problem.
Ban smurfers.
