Like its not hard to implement a system that forces you to input your information for your account so that in case some diamond smurf wants to make another account he can't just go and create another account and fuck people's queue...Or if someone gets perma banned and they try to come back..
because across six continents with humans on them, not everyone who can afford a computer can afford a phone.
Account security and smurf prevention is something they continue to work on, I think the smurf mitigation technique used in Clash (SMS authentication) is partially a test for improved security and account linking that they may utilize. However, they do realize this and you should keep this in mind, not everyone has access to a phone for 2FA through SMS and the other methods aren't perfect either (multiple phones, free email creation etc.).
This is actually just a rage thread where anyone that doesn't strictly agree gets yelled at in poor English.
Email people can readily have multiple of, phone stuff can similarly be spoofed (theres sites so people can get numbers to get phone verification done without using their own phone number for example), and physical home address is both hard to verify and it's often the case multiple people play from the same household anyway.
If they wanted to stop smurfs, step one would simply be to make smurfing against the rules, and then move on figuring out actual enforcement of it and prevention, but they're not anti smurf in most situations (clash being the main exception) and smurfs aren't necessarily a big picture problem anyway. (They'll either only affect a relatively small number of games before reaching an appropriate mmr, or they're either not playing often [and hence not affecting many people] or actively inting/griefing in which case they can be punished for that regardless of their smurf status.)
Because then Yasuo mains would find you and try to 1v1 you IRL, and no one wants that. [slayer-jinx-wink]
