Leveling experience is borderline unplayable. @Riot

I'm very well aware that Riot has tried to separate smurfs and new players through an mmr algorithm. However, unfortunately, anyone remotely "decent" at the game can very easily be swept over into the "smurf queue." ((I've ran into more than one new player whose going to inevitably hit gold early in their career)) It's honestly not uncommon for gold player and a challenger to be in the same exact game on this "smurf queue"

This is a low level normal game by the way.

Additionally, another problem to the "smurf queue." are not only awkwardly slow queue times, but the fact near 95% of the games are insanely toxic and abundantly full of permabanned players who, on the drop of the dime, will start blatantly inting, and or being extremely racist + toss out death threats. I'd argue that if you're even semi good at the game before you even reach level 30 . . . this will just be your entire experience for easily 200+ games . . . before you even get to TRULY "play the game." At that point so many players probably get fed up and quit. I myself am finding it especially difficult to even want to queue. It's to the point where you gotta ask yourself if you want to easily blow a whole month dealing with this playing hundreds of games . . . or just drop 5 dollars on an alt + rename it ((potentially have it banned in 6 months)) and risk the biscuit? After having experienced this. I'm 90% tempted to just go buy an alt and leave this account at level 24.

P.S: You can't mute someone following you around in the jungle trying to take your camps + /all chatting to the enemy your location. Verbal toxicity isn't the only toxicity. You also can't mute 1-3 players up and ragequitting 'cause you didn't give them level 1 blue buff after spamming "JG DIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" -eyeroll-

Proposition: I propose that levels 1-30 have a significantly harsher penalty to raw toxicity to make it harder for permabanned ((not the reformed ones, but the ones who are still human garbage)) to actually make it back to 30. These guys are like this EVERY game, so by the 15th game they played they should already be banned. I also propose that by the third/4th game of sheer toxicity they get put in their own special queue. This makes it so that they're on their own queue island and they'll inevitably ban themselves since they'll all be toxic to each other. I would gladly eat a 10 minute queue time to experience this. I already wait 6+ minutes for a game as is.

Before people spam: "deserved" ridicule me for having an alt, etc etc. I just made this account so that I can actually play with friends and practice roles out of my comfort zone. If I practice them on my main account, I'm essentially "inting/boosted trash/wintrading" and eat reports every game =D ((even in norms, since they OP.GG you)). It's a great time.
