Smurf accounts really needs to be banned

I was in a bot game just to grab my first wins & head out, until I was in a game with a Level 2 Diamond Smurf Jinx. Of course, when it comes to either playing with new people or those who're just hungry for IPs, games tend to be longer & a little more frustrating whenever it comes to veteran/smurf players who were teaching/scolding new players about their builds & gameplay. And technically, our little Jinx buddy here doesnt give a shit about it. Instead, she ignores parts of where Syndra(I think she recently hit level 30, judging from her Bronzie attitude. She says she wanna stay longer to learn builds & stuff) wanted to stay a little longer, and starts ranting on how she(Jinx) wanna finish the game quickly, and the two starts arguing with each other.

Seriously, what is the benefit of making a smurf account? All I see was just the purpose of bullying new people in the game, or to sell of his old account for $$. Scared of getting your original account banned? Who's fault was that to not hit the mute button to avoid toxic counter-argument?

This is not right at all. Riot needs to act on this.

Another horrible part of this game. I remember levels 1 - 30 used to be fun. Hell, that was where I had the most fun with this game (fun should be taken very lightly). Now smurfs ruin everything. I doubt there's even that many new players. Just all smurfs.

Smurfing should be a bannable offense.

Riot has made it publicly known that they neither condemn nor condone smurfing. They are not going to do anything about it until they find a solution that replaces what smurfs are used for.

And how do you ban them exactly?? How do you even know they are smurf accts?

Jinx combo: E, then W while they're stuck. I guess.

I agree that smurf accounts are generally a negative thing, but since you bolded a question, it may as well go answered. I personally have a low level account. I don't know if it counts as smurfing since my main isn't 30 yet either, but the low level account I'm levelling is on the NA server, where my main is OCE. I have friends that play on NA that I'd like to play with, despite the increased latency I get on NA. Should that account be banned?

i quit years before smurfing became problematic, i can't believe it's still an issue if not worse.. i feel bad for everyone that has to level their first account to lv.30, they can't learn anything when they get demolished, it explains why alot of lv.30 players play like lv.10s now when i spectate my friends
