just gave up a star at 19 and a winning streak because the opponent was a golden paladin at rank 19 and it felt good!! So I decided to auto-concede to golden heroes lower than 15. Join the movement and just say no smurfs.

 PS: most of these guys are bots or ex-botters anyway...

You realize it's the start of the new season and everyone restarts at a fairly low rank, right? The guy probably didn't have a chance to ladder yet, so it is not an unusual sight at this point. I disagree with your strategy, but I'm sure he appreciated the free win.

What's the point? 

Why would you do this? Makes no sense.

Yeah... I do ask myself the same. I mean... no... no I have no clue to be honest. No version I of the story that comes to my had ends with "yes! great idea to hand out a free win".

and I appreciated not wasting my time with a botter, because most probably that's what he was, so win-win yay!! join the movement man and send those botters to get their asses kicked in the high ranks ;)

You realize it's the beginning of the season, right? Give it a week and you'll see a golden portrait once every 100 games or so.

You're kidding, right? What crazy logic causes you to believe, that someone with golden portrait is a smurf? How is it related?

It's not.

The first week of new season is hell. Lower ranks FILLED with skilled dudes, golden experienced players and aggro decks. Oh and face hunters.

I just beat a golden Mage who knew nothing about how to use Doomsayer or anything in his deck really.

Maybe its tempo mage who's learing a new freeze deck.

Yeah, the only requirement to get a Golden hero is to win X number of games. You might lose X + Y number of games getting there, and be a legitimate Rank 20 player. This game has been out for long enough that any real person is able to have made a Golden hero by now.

Yeah this is just stupid, I have beat a number of golden hero players, particularly golden paladins and warlocks for some reason. I never concede unless I know I've lost and they are dragging it out just to be annoying.

Just as previous people said, Golden Hero does not equal skill, you could have 3000 losses and 500 wins, and you get golden. You don't get good at a game just because you play it a lot in all cases. If you're not trying to get better or just keep blaming RNG for every loss that happens you wont go anywhere.

smurfing is oppening new accounts that play on low level (although thewre are smurfs in league that sometime exceed the originals lol) using your main account (that has a golden hero ISN'T SMURFING if anything it's farming or just affected by the reset a legend player get reseted to rank 16 a few loses and he is rank 18.

I was rank 9 last season and I got to rank 9 if I cared enough I would have a golden paladin by now but, and I don't even have a full paladin deck yet.

I agree with the OP. Everyone should concede to my Golden Shaman From rank 20 to rank 15 onwards. It'd really save me a lot of time.

What this guy said lol except people should do that till rank 5

thatll save me a lot of time

Funny thing is that  the game is oriented  around a 700 dust deck... Can't see exactly how 500 wins can help you anyway.

People smurf to get their golden heroes. Once they have them, why on earth would they still be smurfing?

So when you get your gold portrait and are still Rank 20-15, are you going to start conceding every game?
