Hi everyone. My name is Jake ,and I have a question about Clash smurfing. So I verified one of my accounts with my phone number which is gold 4. All my accounts at the time **WAS **gold 4. Now my question is what happens if one of my other accounts gets to Plat 4 (Like my other accounts) that I play on. And this account stays at gold 4? This means my team will lose rewards right and i'll lose rewards too? My highest rank account is gold 3 right now. I'm aiming to get that account to Platinum. You might wonder why not get this account to plat. Mainly because I don't have to worry about demoting from Gold 4 to Silver 1. Since I'm already Gold 3 on one of my accounts. (Which is likely to climb)

Disclaimer: I'm posting this on Player Behavior because it involves smurfing and hopes of riot employee or someone to more knowledge on this than me. I know the people on here are friendly. (Normally)

Thanks for reading and hope you all have a good day. If you guys need me to link my accounts I will. (op.gg)

A Red tracker will likely never response to threads like these. They are likely banning forums accounts when they can or looking into reports on forums.

You have too much time on your hands lad. Grab some more education or get hired @ a better job or go grab a nice cold beer if your old enough [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I have posted similar question, which has been unfortunately voted down and not causing much attention. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/FPQefXLT-clash-players-are-playing-in-their-smurfs-should-it-be-punished Basically from the articles it is clear that Riot is fairly lenient in the grey area (keep in mind the base line is no smurfing 2 divisions under your main account, and/or not EXTREMELY hurting the game experience).

OP did not really mention whether the accounts were played by others, but Riot doesn't care. Nor other players care; clash will soon be a norm that happens once every two weeks, and you want to show it on your main account for most people.

Hope this helps.

I do not think that is a bad case of smurfing imo. My clash team got smurfed on (lvl 30 acc with only supports played on it); when it came to clash the account went kassadin, aatrox, etc (think hard carry champs) and got quadras every game (subsequently after our match as well). A few divisions down won''t really matter since there isn't as big of a skill gap as a gold vs diamond persay
