Unbalanced teams due to smurfs

I don't know how often this happens to you, but very frequently the matches I get are overly one sided due to smurfs.

We're talking either my team gets 2-3 smurfs while the enemy team gets none or vice versa.

Matchmaking mmr is supposed to match equally skilled players against each other. And they've also done a good job to considering filling equal amounts of autofilled people on each team.

My question is: why can't they do the same with the number of smurfs on each team?

Clearly, 3 gold/plat players being placed in the same team against diamond/emeralds isn't fair. Although their mmr says they should be diamond, they are far from having reached their actual peak. And in most cases, they're actually masters or even grandmasters.

Having such unevenly matched teams, although the mmr threshold is met, leads to just unsatisfying games, where one team hard stomps the other in under 20 minutes. You're not having fun, and you also feel like you've had your lp robbed.

Best handheld for primarily steam indie games (and maybe older AAA titles)?

Hi,

I'm in search for a handheld to play mainly steam indies or some really older more demanding titles. What I currently see in the pc handheld market are gigantic devices which are way too big and have too much power for my liking.

I want a device that's smaller and potentially even pocketable and I"ve seen androids handhelds being able to run steam games to some extent.

The size I'm looking for is about the same as a switch lite. Could be a little larger but preferrably about the same.

There are houndreds of devices, so I'm reaching out here to see what people like the most. I'd want a vibrant display and like to note that I'm in Europe for availability.

What would you recommend?

About a month or two ago I made a post on how many toplaners like darius and jayce had received jungle buffs, and how Quinn still hadn't gotten any despite her kit clearly working great for a jungle champion.

Back then people told me it was not going to happen and that it's way too broken. And boy am I happy to see them experimenting with her at least.

Personally I think it'll help her a lot with regaining player count, and it might even become her new lane of choice with the kind of kit she already has. These buffs look really good on paper, like those morgana, rell and zyra got. I just hope they won't revert them as they did with rell.

Is anyone else happy they're trying to find another spot for Quinn?

Hi claw users! I've been looking to move over to bazzite from windows in hopes for a better user experience as controls somtimes just don't work, the xbox app not suiting my needs and instant sleep not really being a thing on windows.

I have seen people using anyfse to boot directly into steam, but I'm wanting a more official and streamlined way.

Does anyone of you have bazzite on your 1st gen Claw and can comment on the performance aspect these past few days? How's the overall user experience in your mind?

Hi Zeri mains!

With the new rework on zeri focusing on her moving faster I've been having quite fun on a move speed related build with feet footwork, statikk shiv and stormrazor. Sure you lose some damage compared to an optimal build, but god is it fun to zoom around.

Anyways, with energize effects being more available than ever, and Zeri's passive zap literally working just like energize, why not also make it an energize effect, so that shiv can make it stack faster?

Zeri is after all everything about electricity and charging up her zap by moving and attacking, just like how the energize effect works.

So, why not just give her extra synergy with energize, kinda like corki passive gets bonus effect on spellblade items?

This season is demon themed and I do really like the vibe. However, I feel like we could have had a special game mode to stronger emphasise Vayne hunting demons.

In the trailer we saw Vayne killing a bunch of demon Shacos, and that made me think that it would've been awesome to have some sort of survival gamemode.

I'm thinking something like cod zombies, where there'd be increasingly bigger and stronger waves of shacos for you to endure, and you could get stronger by buying items, like in SR.

Obviously, making gamemodes like these takes a lot of time, but I personally feel that would've more than made up for the battle pass skin reward nerfs ;)

What do you think?

Are rogues supposed to be able to get other class imbue hero powers after playing Deathwing?

My hypothesis is that this happens due to deathwing being a multiclass card, and thus your hero can be considered as all those in the herald set at the same time.
