This is why smurfing is a complete joke. During my two temp bans i just waited the two weeks out because smurfing in this game is the worst experience. People cry when you "Steal" kills, excessive BM, everyone calling eachother bronze/silver, troll picking is in just about every game, AFk's in jsut about every other game, how can anyone enjoy it?

I'd actually call smurfing a punishment because its the worst way to play the game

I respectfully disagree with you sir. It can be a great way if you want to solely use it to focus on one new aspect. For example, I have always been a support or top. I play many different champions in those roles, including off meta or odd picks (Like Sion support before people began.). On my second account I'm working more towards learning adc and jungle. Yes I have a slight advantage by already knowing certain aspects, but I'm more free to learn without extreme judgement. There is still going to be flamers, but people can't go, "You're level 30? No skill, you suck at this position." That is my opinion at least.

I agree with you about practicing new things on your smurf account, but it kind of has a "pointless" aspect to it because you're not practicing in a REAL environment in my opinion. You want to practice ADC? Well youre practicing against a kayle adc/yi support. You want to practice top lane? Well youre going to practice against a kalista because of the constant troll picks that flood out people trying to legitimately practice. The environment of a smurf account is really unhealthy and isn't an accurate representation of how authentic ranked games work. This is why i almost feel that most new players who get to level 30 are complete garbage in their ranked games because they've never had a true ranked experience.

You missed his point. He is talking about leveling an account, where you soon have to play lopsided games filled with people who have had their other accounts banned due to them being raging children in order to level it to 30.
