Duoing: the legal form of ELO boosting.

I'v always kind of had a problem with the Idea of duoing. Rarely is it two silvers playing together to try to get to a higher tier, but usually a silver and a Platinum or diamond player on their smurf.

I could honestly go and get my diamond 5 buddy to hop on his smurf and carry my shit ass all the way to high gold and honestly all it would take me is to not feed and sit in lane and watch him yasuo, or talon the whole enemy team to death.

It doesn't show that you have any skill.

Smurfs are the problem, not friends playing together. Unfortunately I don't see how they can actually stop smurfs from ruining peoples games.

What exactly is your basis for this statement? Almost every game you're in through Bronze-Gold you'll have a duo on both sides. Just use any of the many loading screen info sites, you'll usually see it. Obviously you have the occasional "I'm a smurf" dude but in my 113 game climb from Promos (Silver V) to Gold V, I saw that maaaaybe 3 or 4 times? Checking LoLNexus and how everybody played every game there really weren't any standout smurfs duoing.
