I think they should change how smurfs jump on alts and come into a new player bracket and get a 30/0/20 in a single aram. and just leave new player in the dust every game maybe make it so if they constantly get best score ea game put them together. i know alot of you are smurfs and will argue the fact anyway you can. hope a riot can consider something for this or is working on it...
Korkalek4 votesThere are already some invisible limitation to smurfs.
I remember a post by riot about a year ago, where they said they have ways of identifying smurfs quickly, to raise their Elo faster and get them back to their level. Obviously, that does not prevent a fair amount of smurfs from ruining low elo players's games on a regular basis. As a general rule, I think Riot frown upon smurfs, but can't really prevent it of punish it.
They never said how they detect smurfs, because that would help smurfs fool the system. But I can imagine that you could look for a bunch of factors : Connect with the same IP than a higher level player + never connect at the same time than said player + high KDR in every game + same friends as the main = probable smurf. But even if you have all that, you STILL can't be sure it's a smurf. What if 2 brothers share the same computer ? Also, it's still pretty easy for smurfs to avoid this kind of detection. Ask a friend to connect with your smurf once of twice from another computer, and play a game in solo queue where you throw, to balance the games you carry with your firends ...
If someone REALLY want to keep a low elo account where they can stomp on lower players, it's pretty much impossible to prevent.
pattykake3762 votesWell, when people do Smurf it does eventually start to matchmake with other Smurf players, so eventually the problem gets fixed on its own.

Yea that would help heaps but what about the poor bronze LP he just lost in that game and the next when you click the play again staight away and you vs the smurf again. And what about all the other smurfs you have to vs after this one. HOW DO YOU LEVEL UP AGAIN ????
nx02 votesI really hate smurf players. It is like no matter how hard you try, you lose. I am quitting league for good. It is you vs smurfs OR (worst) having smurfs in your team. They are just constantly abusing new players. Uh..hello, if you were playing your own levels, you would be playing with your levels. And calling new players "noob"..excuse me, why are you calling me "noob" when you don't have the guts to play your own levels. Some days if I am lucky I get matched with similar levels and that is actually fun. Yeah, I was really beginning to like League too. Too bad. I will find some other games. With that I am uninstalling it.
