Make it so lvl. 5 and below cannot send friend requests. But they can still **receive **them. This way, new players can still play with their friends, but spam accounts (that are typically lvl 1) will have a harder time sending requests.

So what about all the friends who start at the same time? There should never be a barrier for friends to group up.
There needs to be a different solution that doesn't hurt new players so much.
If you get a request you don't recognize, take a look at the account online (such as lolking or op.gg) and make an educated guess based on that. Don't just accept them blindly, and this won't happen to you often.
It wouldn't get rid of the requests... most of the people sending these requests are the same ones botting accounts to 30. They'd just wait to send the request until the account hits 5 in stead of doing it at 1.
Spammers will just install bots on those accounts. This just delays them a bit, it doesn't get rid of them.
Most of the time you can tell it's a bot without even adding it... they usually have "LOL" or "Elo" or something obvious in their name. Like come on, is it THAT hard to tell what isn't a person?
Ok, you all have great points. Thanks!
