Why are smurfs allowed now? Completely unfair for anyone trying to rank up honestly. Yet there's nothing in the terms of use and/or the summoners code about being a total ass hat and ruining everyone's game by smurfing. Therefor smurfs can walk free in games causing havoc as they please. Hello Rito? DO SOMETHING? Smurfing is basically cheating and griefing rolled into one, and yet the closest thing they have to stopping these people is under part 5 of the Terms of use (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/legal/termsofuse) which states that boosting will get you banned. While boosting is ruining the game for higher level players, smurfing is ruining the game for lower level players. C'mon Rito what is this. Do everyone a favor and tell smurfs to die in a snake filled pit like you did with boosters. Ples Rito. -Love, The Idiot in Bronze. [slayer-jinx-wink]

How is it unfair? The best way to improve is to play against people better than you and learn from your mistakes. Even Faker, widely regarded as the best player in the world, has said he likes playing against scripters because it helps him train his dodging.

The best way to improve is play the game normally, see what you did wrong, improve your mistakes. Not to be trapped under your tower for 40 minutes and watch a challenger player CS. You can go on youtube for that.

Most challenger players that have smurfs have them in low-mid diamond. Outside of buying accounts or intentionally throwing a majority of their games, both of which is already punishable, a challenger player isn't going to have a smurf in bronze 5.

The infamous "something". What do you propose Riot does to stop people from smurfing? It's not a simple problem to solve.

So riot should just start handing out bans when players do well in games?

sorry, you've won too many games in a row and are doing too good, I'm going to have to ban you because you might be a smurf.

No of course not, but people who are blatantly smurfing, and continuing to brag about how they are platinum and how your garbage to be in the rank that your in, you not believing them, then them going into great detail about their account before you telling you their name, you go on op.gg, and there it is, their real account.

I honestly hate smurf :/ problem is,they played league for a while and at that point don't the game as a 'game' so as I am casually messing w/ people as support this smurf is flaming people going 'you will never get to gold' KYS all that :/ and there is almost 0 reason to smurf! want to have an account to main roles? chances are you can just use all your champs to have a more enjoyable time grinding IP

I don't agree with OP in that I think smurfs should be allowed and are 100% okay, seeing as playing against someone good is the ultimate training possibility.

Though, I will never understand why someone would ever flame anyone for being lower rank, when they intentionally dive into the lower ranks.
