Smurfing

Honestly, this game is ruined. I cant seem to find a game between levels 1-20 that doesn't have ATLEAST one smurf it it. This is really frustrating and it brings players to quit or just rarely play, what do I think causes most of these players smurfing? The "tribunal" and I personally don't know why it exists, yes there are cases where people excessively are being rude in chat... but lets just be honest the only reason people use the report button is because they know the people will get banned, and every time I've met someone "toxic" they never bother me. It is just someone having a really bad game, and it ruins the game when these people get banned permanently because it does not stop them from coming back due to the game being FREE, do I think it should cost $? No! I think that Riot needs a way to combat smurfs because nobody that is just starting like playing against them, and me myself as a new player I've had this account for around one month and cant stand to play more than one or two games a day due to the amount of smurfs in the community. I'm not asking for anything huge, just something to put a huge stop to smurfs because they ruin the game. Thanks! Yasuo

There's nothing against smurfing. Boosting on the other hand is ban-able and if you report the account to riot they will investigate. But you're only lvl 16 and that doesnt happen till you're in ranked.

Smurfs are annoying but mass skill descrepancy (of like a diamond smurf in a bronze game) are very rare. More often than not, especially at lower MMR, people can have amazingly good games (inconsistently). It doesn't mean that 11/1 Fizz was a smurf, it just means they went off well that game. Further, I notice many people claim to be a smurf but there is zero evidence that they are one. They are just trying to (falsely) brag for some reason.
