This game is shit, 4 games in a row I was put against gold or plat smurfs.
I'm literally learning how to play this shit, I'm bronze and getting stomped every game, I understand why they are having such a hard time keeping new players.
How is smurfing healthy for this game? Does this happen in Dota as well?

It's a 10 year old game.. majority of the fresh accounts are going to be smurfs. Are you playing ranked matches or norms? Norms/flex q you're more likely to get people of varying skill in your games. If you play solo q you're more likely to get people around your skill level.

All my games are soloQ
all my games have been completely one sided, my team doesn't group, gank, get objectives or even contest objectives and usually has 0 map awareness.
I learn champs that can carry and get half decent with them but even if I do well my team has fed so much I get destroyed first team fight. Why do people play this? lol

I'd hate to tell you, but if you're in bronze you're as bad as all the other players lol. Not insulting you cuz Ik you're new but everybody when they're new goes through the "i cant climb because muh teamz" stage. Best bit of advice is /mute all and focus on what you can control

I'm not going to learn if Im put against gold/plat smurfs, that's just logic.
I know im trash, I don't even want to climb, I just want a win every once in a while due to working as a team, multiple times as I ult the adc as morde I would come out of my ult and be surrounded while my team completely backed off, here's things I don't do that my team has in just the last 4 games

1v3, confused on how they died multiple times by multiple different people
Ignore baron/dragons
Split push while we are behind and need everyone for team fights
ignore all pings that enemies are coming to them, die, blame teammates


probably more, even though im bronze it seems I know how to play the game better than most of my team, yet the other team is always grouped, getting objectives and always coordinated. How do you find teammates like that? do you buy them with RP somewhere?
I literally get the meme players from the joke youtube channels, yes, literally this bad, while the other team stomps every game.

You're probably not playing against as many smurfs as you think. Everybody in bronze/silver thinks they're a smurf but a G4 player in that elo isnt a smurf, it's probably where they belong especially if they are offroling. what is your account name?

Mord is a rly strong champ but idk if I'd recommend him for bronze. I don't play him enough but his immobility I'd imagine limits him greatly in that elo. If you're a top laner, play something like jax/fiora/renek/trynd where you have good lane phase, can effectively split, and can team fight decently. If all else fails play master yi :)

that's 100% false. shitting on people doesn't make you any better, it just means you can shit on that player. playing against higher elos will eventually make you better.

as long as you know what your team is lacking, you already have the knowledge that YOU need as an individual player. maybe you got stuck with bad teams. but at some point if you are in bronze then there is more you can do. nothing personal. just the way it is.

if your new to the game, how can you identify that they are smurfs and what rank they are from....

snowballing is a thing that makes bronze/iron players think others are gods, they just get fed fast and start a slaughterhouse and all of sudden people think they are top tier smurfs when in fact they are just as bad as you are
