A possible idea to help people learn new roles/champions and avoid smurf abusers.

So recently a friend and I have discussed wanting to expand our roles/champion roster. Of course doing that on our main accounts does not go well and we typically get flamed for feeding when we're really trying our best to learn something new. We then decided to make new accounts to learn these champions on, however that too has proven to be in-effective as we frequently get matched against/with smurfs. (We just finished our 3rd game in a row with a smurf on the enemy team that clearly knows their champion.)

I know I'm beating a dead horse here as smurfing has always been a problem when it's abused. I like it when players make these new accounts to genuinely learn new things they don't know how to play but then of course there are those that bully people trying to learn by playing champions such as Rengar/Fizz and getting crazy scores such as 22/5 in under 28 minutes.

Personally I find this very frustrating as I'm trying to learn both melee champions and Top Lane, two things I have no experience with and it seems that I just can't get a 'fair' matchup no matter which account I play.

I'm not sure on how to avoid this issue but a possible idea we came up with is what if there was separate 'learning mode' for Summoner's Rift that also takes champion mastery into account. for example, I main Sona. If I que for this mode the game would see my mastery rating for her and thus I couldn't pick her at champion select. This way people can opt in to play a game mode knowing that everyone is playing something they're not experienced with and so it becomes a more even playing field.

(I know there is Co-Op vs. AI but that will only get a person so far and it's quite a hurdle from playing against predicable bots then going into your 1st PvP match on a new champion against someone who's very experienced on their's.)
