Smurf toxicity towards new players

Such is the disadvantage of a free game. There is no disadvantage to creating a new account. Smurfs tend to be smurfs to newbie-stomp to pump their ego up, or to restart their ranked progress.

Many smurfs that start fresh to newbie-stomp somehow forget they can get newbies on their own team as well.

There's also smurfs that were forced to create a new account because they got banned due to bad behavior, and they still refuse to show basic civility.

Finally, a new account has less time placed in it, so players are less likely to care if it gets banned due to behavior and treat the account as a throw-away.

There isn't really much Riot can do to fix it, either, and it'll only get worse the more players get banned and decide it's fun to go ruin the game as 'revenge'.

Pretty sure there were at least two threads today with players who stated their intentions to do just that, and it sickens me.
