So.. every day I try to level up and have fun. There's always some idiot who goes like "Fck you guys Ima Afk. Report me all you want its only a smurf. Not my main, Why do I care if I am banned on this account. I am Gold V."

And its usually for the most ridiculous reasons ever.

Here's an example. I just had a game where everyone won their lane except the mid lane Veigar. After he died to one jungle gank. He said "Gg. Game's over" Afks then realize that everyone just completely ignored him, intentional feeds, then realize everyone is still ignoring him, tries to steal blue/red buffs from other people and realize no one gives a sht about him trolling. Poor Guy, So pathetic.

I really believe that Riot Should Implement a system to ban both the smurf and their main as well.

i personally don't find anything wrong with having a smurf as long as they follow the summoners code. It won't take long until their MMR matches them with other smurfs.

But to blatantly ignore the summoners code by being negative, intentionally feeding and ultimately causing a bad game for everyone else is just plain wrong.

I miss the smurfs that would actually be cooperative and helpful to the new players by answering questions they had or telling them about some cool new tricks they never heard about. The good ol'smurfs :(.

Riot should really offer level 30 accounts for sale for real cash monies. That would pretty much solve the smurf issue. Or at the very least make it really easy to detect, justify punishing, and ban smurfs with an automated or nearly automated system.

What you're describing sounds more like a lair than an actual smurf.

Should still get punished and suspended for pulling shenanigans like that, but what you paraphrased is more of a weeny tactic from someone that's just full of suck rather than someone who's abusing their strength for cheap thrills.

Probably not a smurf issue, more of a bullying issue.

Again, If Riot offered level 30 accounts for sale it would likely massively improve the pre-30 environment, removing a lot of the frustration for everyone involved: including those with a penchant for showing an uglier side when things get frustrating. It would also make such excuses much less plausible, making it more obvious such a bully is lying because they suck. Or they'd re-direct their anger at trying to tear their teammates down. Some people can't be helped, but that's what bans are for.

When I play on my low level account to smurf (whether it's to level up a new account to 30, or just to work on an account to play on a new server), I pretend my enter button doesn't exist.
