Yet you have played 80ish ranked games this past few weeks?

Considering you're Silver 1, I'd say you would probably see a smurf like once every 1,000 games, and that's if the smurf got unlucky. People Platinum and above are mostly going 8/10--10/10 during placements and end up high-gold to low-plat MMR, so you will never see these people.

The only people you will be seeing, are people who place in silver-gold and these people are silver-gold players only. You could run into a booster, but IIRC, the most common boost ranks are from bronze to silver and from plat to diamond, so you won't run into alot of these as you're high silver-low gold.

I've checked through your match history, and nobody seems out of line, you have a 71% win-rate on Leona, so has it ever occurred to you that your MMR is just higher?

"I haven't played in 3 years" - The guy who has an account over level 30.

Also...why would they? It'd be an unenforceable rule. It's physically impossible to make a flawless detection system for smurfs.

why would smurfs be banable? considering with the "new" placement games everyone starts even lower than ever chances are you will see smurfs in low elo at first anyways.

*3 months?

No way I would play 80 in three weeks

Side note - Nope, the game still sucks.

To answer your question no they aren't because smurfing by itself isn't bannable whether you like it or not.
