MODERATORS
 

From the Dota 2 website:

Today, we permanently banned 90,000 smurf accounts that have been active over the last few months. Smurf accounts are alternate accounts used by players to avoid playing at the correct MMR, to abandon games, to cheat, to grief, or to otherwise be toxic without consequence.

Additionally, we have traced every single one of these smurf accounts back to its main account. Going forward, a main account found associated with a smurf account could result in a wide range of punishments, from temporary adjustments to behavior scores to permanent account bans.

True. Just mentioning ELO hell in r/leagueoflegends you get downvoted to hell and spammed "you just need to git gud/you just need to carry your games/you just need to take a break" ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Not to mention... I'm Plat in Wild Rift, which is the dumbed down bastardized mobile version of the game.

Funny thing is Wild Rift recommends different builds. Senna with Grasp of the Undying is considered troll tier in League but is a top build in WR, despite having practically identical movesets..

She literally has the same abilities and the same infinite AD and range scaling on her soul mechanic. This would make Grasp great for her in the main game from how many opportunities she has to buff her health.
