I like to use smurfs to buy and test run champions I'm not sure about, so I don't waste them valuable IP's on my main

Just played my first game of Dominion this morning. I had a total blast. Curious if anyone wants to gather a big group to play?

It's incredibly satisfying because if you don't enjoy going 40/10/32 on Eve while smurfing then you're lying to yourself and everyone around you

I don't see the point of buying heroes on a second account, either. What happens if you really like that hero? Now you have to grind out the IP to buy it on your main account? IP isn't exactly hard to get.

Really...Twinking wasn't satisfying because you weren't on the same level? Do you even play games anymore?

Smurfing isnt about trying out new characters, its twinking with a new name. Yes, some people use the 2nd account to grind IP a bit faster (its easier to do at lower levels) and try out newer heroes, or even use the 2nd account to play around and not hurt their stats but during its beginning it was used as a chance for people at max level who know the game to go play and own people who had just started.

You don't need twink premade vs twink premade to have fun...you could do that on any level (max or starting) level toons and have tons of fun. I personally enjoy the close games, but that's not really what smurfing is about. Ask yourself how many gamers are typically ego-tistical and get their jollies off of pwning people and you'll understand how Smurfing/Twinking came about.

You're also contradicting yerself a bit. First you argue that a 2nd account to try out a new hero is a bad idea because if you like a hero you have to grind out the IP on yer main account. Then you immediately come and say that IP isnt hard to get.

Do you just troll the games forums all day looking to argue with people? Just because something isn't satisfying to you (hey maybe you like a challenge and so do i, but i don't discount everyone else's point of view because of it) doesn't mean that it's pointless to others.

Playing as Rammus in Dominion is the funniest thing in the world. Flying across the map in power ball with the speed buff while using ghost.

Is this just like Wow?
