Realizing that Valorant has a very unique system to “filter smurf”, many League of Legends gamers want to experience this feature.
In League of Legends as well as many other popular games, there are many gamers with very high skills who use “white” accounts to “go chicken” in ranking mode. These people are known by the community by the name “smurf”.
“Smurf” often appears in the lower ranks of Valorant as well as League of Legends.
Some time ago, Riot Games operated the “smurf filter” feature in Valorant with a special system. Basically, this system will not lock the accounts of “smurf” players. Instead, it will help Riot Games edit the MMR of “smurf” players after just a few matches. Thereby helping low ranked players not meet “monsters” in their matches.
Of course, Riot Games does not share the details of the “smurf detection” process because players may take advantage of that to “avoid” this system.
As a result, there have been many gamers demanding that Riot Games launch this feature and system for League of Legends. Because unlike Valorant, League of Legends is a game with a huge number of players, so the rate of encountering “smurf” is also much higher.
In the past, there were many streamers playing the role of “smurf” in the challenges of “30 days climbing Challenge”, which has ruined the experience of many League of Legends gamers. Currently, this situation also appears because some players are “intentionally stuck at low rank” to create highlights, montages, … and share on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Therefore, if Riot Games successfully applies this “smurf filter” system to League of Legends, this game will become a lot better.
