REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"This whole queue feels like a smurf queue tonight, every enemy is playing way above the bracket."
LORE & ORIGIN
Combines the established 'smurf account' concept with 'queue,' naming the specific frustration of noticing an entire matchmaking pool feels dominated by obvious smurfs rather than just one bad match.
