cause it seems rather unfair to have some sort of diamond or challenjer smurf in a bronze game or somethin.(i don't play ranked but it's an example)

HOW DOES RIOT FEEL ABOUT SMURFS?

Riot does not officially condemn or condone smurfing. We understand the cases where players make new accounts in order to help teach new players the game, but are working on newer systems to provide a similar experience in a more positive way.

they will never respond to this because people wont like what they answer but i will do it for them - they dont like it but they dont have any real way to stop it. so it will be a thing forever.

Yeah... I'd personally be okay with a "one account, per person, per lifetime" rule just because smurfs make the game intolerable at low elos, but from Riot's side, there's literally no downside.

It makes their numbers look better, there will be skins or champs purchased, and most people won't get that the guy that utterly roflstomped them is actually multiple ranks above them playing another account for... some reason.

id be okay with that too, but how would they hold each person to one account? there are families and roomates and dorms and internet cafe's.

and as you said it is just more $$ for riot anyway.
