Smurfing should be bannable and here is the alternative for players who want to practice on new acc.

I'm tired of getting smurfs in my gold ranked games, who are buying accounts and ruining my experience on the Rift. I'm a firm believer that smurfing, in any game, is harmful for the players, in general, because even though the smurf is winning, the rest of the players, including the ones on his team, are not learning anything from that game, since the smurf usually takes matters into his hands and doesn't allow for anyone else to play the game properly.

If players wanna smurf, Riot should provide new accounts with artificially high MMR (D4+ or M+) to anyone who can provide proof that he owns a main account that is Diamond or above. This way, smurfs can practice whatever the fuck they want in the games that they belong in, without altering the experience for lower elo players who are trying to learn and hone their game knowledge, in a somewhat balanced environment, where players are relatively around the same skill level and have similar game knowledge.

And, until Riot provide these accounts, players should practice on their main high elo accounts, either in ranked or normal games, or in custom games with other smurfs who wanna practice too. Utilize Reddit, and the Boards here, to make lobbies for smurfs who wanna practice whatever they want. The game quality should be better for smurfs themselves, because if they play in low elo, they will learn jackshit about what they're trying to practice, since the quality of the game is way lower than what they're supposed to be playing in, and what worked for them in those low elo games won't necessarily work for them when they get back to the high elo games.

Games, with smurfs in it, disrupt the learning curve that every low elo is suppose to cover, from individual mechanical skills to macro knowledge and decision making. For example, if someone takes in low elo and tries to learn how and when to gank properly and how to path efficiently in the jungle, he can't learn anything if he's playing against a smurf who's a main Lee from D4+. He's gonna get invaded over and over again and just dies and tilt and he won't get to play the game, basically. Whereas if he was matched against a similar skill level Lee Sin, the enemy Lee wouldn't necessarily perma invade him since he's probably not that knowledgeable and his knowledge is similar to our Amumu friend. In this case, the Amumu player has some breathing room to practice what he set up to practice, which is jungle pathing and ganking paths, in my example.

Any smurf account that is found below that high MMR should be perma banned, when reported with proof of the account being bought. Because, let's be honest, no smurf levels their new accounts, from lvl 1 to 30, by themselves. They always buy accounts that have been boosted to lvl 30 by botting, which is bannable.

So, if you are reading this and you are a smurf yourself, then shame on you and fuck you. You ruin the game for so many people because you wanna boost your ego. If you're really trying to practice new champs or strategies, then do it on your main account, in the MMR range that you belong in...
