Smurfing should be disallowed.

TLDR at the bottom for anyone who doesn't want to read my venting

Hello, I am a new player to League of Legends. I enjoyed the old DoTA in WC3 back in the day and wanted to try playing this one to see what it's like. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game. It's fun and creative when I am actually paired with somebody near my skill level. After playing for a week or so, I've picked up on a pretty common trend called Smurfing. I'm sure many of you on the forums understand this term perfectly.

Why is this allowed? I was under the impression that the matchmaking of this game matched players by "skill" level, which is reflected in the actual character level. I can imagine it being great fun to be paired up with 9 other people who also are equally uninformed and inexperienced as me to brawl it out in a match.

However, many if not most of the matches I come across there are people who call themselves "Smurfs". These people carry the team because they have all the experience of a ranked player and know what to do. They easily dispatch my entire team and the game is usually a one-sided extermination. Halfway through the game I begin to mostly give up.

Recently, I played a game where my team actually did pretty good. We all had several kills and were doing what you're "supposed" to do in this game. However, the enemy team had a Smurf.

Their entire team scored a total of 31 kills throughout the game. 29 of them were by the smurf. He was 29 and 2. Everyone else in the game had 1 or 2 kills and several deaths.

This does not make the game enjoyable to play and I can't say that I'll be playing much longer knowing this is allowed. There's not even an option to report people like this. I can guarantee I'm not the first person to be baffled by this, Smurfing has to have deterred many players.

I don't consider myself to be bad at video games. I play World of Warcraft pretty frequently and have done quite well in the PvP aspect of that game. I'm mainly a PvE player though. However, the skill gap between these Smurfs and the low leveled players in the games I'm in is astonishing.

TLDR Smurfing ruins the game for low experience players and should be disallowed. It isn't a challenge for the Smurf and I can see it severely deterring new players from joining.
