In a game like league of legends when strategy and teamqwork is very important dont all players need to hide their secrets, but i see pros stream all the times? Do the best of the best hide their names like in starcraft or something like that? it must be easy to steal the playstyles when you observe all the games.

so how are the lol pros doing to hide their strats?

the font in league of legends allows you to distinguish between l and I, so probably not.

But you can smurf in other ways. Do the players really make it so easy to steal their playstyles and so on?

That's the reason why they do hide their strategies and teamwork when they scrim in custom games and everyone leaves the game after gg, so that the match is not recorded. Does not apply for soloQ though. Most pros use soloQ only for mechanical training anyway.
Edit. and of course they do have smurfs.

People dont really do that in LoL. Im surprised they dont do something like it.

LoL is a team game, you don't need specific strategy as a player but as a team. Besides they rely a lot on streaming to get money so.. smurfing isn't ideal :p

As the people above have stated, there's not really anything to hide as an individual player. Therefore going off of solo queue games doesnt help much for team preparation. Builds are pretty uniform throughout the world and play style is preferential and not really chosen based off an ideal for the most part. Team play and team comps are the most important which are hidden in scrims.

Even if they did, looking up someone else in the game that doesn't have a barcode name in lolnexus or kassad.in would return all players in the game + their lolking profiles so you could find their info.

Team game vs 1v1 game. League player have no need to hide their identities in solo queue. If anything, they announce it by streaming on their new/smurf accounts.

As a team, they will turn off streaming and make their games un-spectatable. You can expect most LCS to do this.

Next time, use General Discussion. This is a one dimensional question that doesn't need its own thread.
