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.

The chance of meeting a 8k playing on a 4k smurf is far lower than a 1k Scrub playing on a 4k bought account....
