I must confess making a smurf is really hilarious.

That low MM.... i made a smurf to play with my friend whos horrible and were still in the extremely new zone, it's incredible how some people have so many games but appear brain dead.

Its so much fun i pass 40 min of me yelling him ATTACK AtTACK MOVE THERE QQQQQQQQ. We had this centaur tiny lane and abused toss and stomp we ended 24-2 and 15-2 LOLOLOLOl, i think the highest farm on the opponent was a wr with phase boots and an oblivion staff

Smurfing is all fun and games until you realize that you are ruining some people's first/early dota experiences and making them quit forever.

Smurfing is my way of relaxation. After 7 games of losing, I figured I deserved the feeling of winning a game.. at the expense of ruining someone's early dota xp. Kinda like "Welcome to Dota, you suck" :D

Why not just play against bots if you want to dominate someone, odds are they'll be better in lane and just as easy to dominate afterwards. I'll never be able to get behind smurfing, it's so incredibly unfair to new people :/

This is exactly what made me stop. In my first ever game on a smurf, I had a guy on the opposite team just say 'this is ridiculous, your hero is clearly overpowered, this game has no balance,' and left the game, clearly having just alt-f4'd and possibly never to come back. From that point on I've never solo queue'd on a smurf and only use them when queuing with friends who are very new to Dota.

come on guys, its much more fun losing 10 games in a row and having your whole team flame you every game.

So I just tuned in to LO3 to watch the Loda interview, and I saw that onemoregame is sponsored by Razer, astro and monster. Could that have anything to do with NTH's new sponsor? (We know that their new team should be sponsored by razer/monster/astro)

Razer sponsors everyone and their moms so I wouldn't read too much into that. Astro and Monster are a little more interesting, but could also just be coincidence. I don't know much about OneMoreGame actually.

OneMoreGame's executive producer is SirScoots, who also owns EG. Razer, Astro, and Monster are EG sponsors, so that's probably why.


SirScoots doesn't own EG.

I didn't really mean to say he owned it, lol. But he had one of the main managerial positions, which sometimes makes me want to say he owned it for whatever reason.

Well, tbh, I will ruin my friends dota experience, if i don't play with them on my smurf.
They don't like playing a game of dota all going 1-10 and then me trying to carry them.
The MMR difference between the new guys and the people we meet is just to big.
I played with 4 friends who all got >50 games, and are really bad, and we played in very high / high mmr and they got rolf stomped tbh. So smurfing CAN ruin other new players experience, but not smurfing can also make your friends go away aswell!

Yeah, you played well, but it's impossible to win in situations where all 4 of your team feed Ursa non stop. Also, sorry for calling your friends bad. Thought you were solo smurfing like me

Then why make a smurf lowskill? You can also choose the middle-option when making a new account.
This way you're not fucking up the game for completely new people while also not playing on a highly ranked account.

I personally suck it up, i wouldn't want to ruin new players experience by smurfing, not even when playing with friends. But to each their own.

I never run into friends on my main. Well, I haven't played on it in forever though. But I've hit like 6-7 people while smurfing. Once I queued into the same team as my friends who were 4 stacking. 2 of them were friends and the other 2 were IRL friends or something that they were playing with. The funny part was that I was in the same TS channel as them, but they were muted and on skype. Suddenly he unmutes and goes, "umm, Emu? Are you in this game? I'm the Alch".

I can't actually find the match in dotabuff

Ah well. I probably never enabled the 3rd party data on my smurfs.

I neither recall which group of friends I was playing with nor do I recall playing particularly well (that is to say, I thought I played poorly) so don't worry about anything.

Hmm, made a new account once to go and practice some Windrunner, after 1 game I was put to medium MMR or somewhere around that (2 guys fighting for mid, proceeding to feed). Had a Zeus in my team who didn't buy anything except at start and the game was 3v5 after 5 minutes (3 on my team). Bots would've probably been more use, since I didn't really practice anything..
