Suggestion: Counter smurfing.
I've had this had this thought in my mind a few days now. I'm not sure if it's been suggested already or if this is even the right place for LOL developers to see it. But here it goes.
So I've been thinking, since we got the levels raised to unlimited and not capped at 30 (which you needed to play ranked). Why not make the requirement level 100 for ranked now? Why? This will drastically reduce smurfing accounts in game, that in my elo silver/gold is pretty high atm. I get average of 2 every game (either if they do it to troll, cause they are banned on their mains, or another reason). Right now a game goes one of three ways: 1- You get a smurf, that's destroying enemies. 2- They get a smurf that's destroying you. 3- You get a person with a secondary account, playing ranked. Dying few times and then either start spamming "ok gg, ff now" or just leaves entirely the game and let's you play 4v5 for the rest 15-40 minutes. By raising the level requirement to 100. A lot of people will not "waste" or spend time to "boost"/level up, new accounts, just so they can troll others on ranked. They will take that time to focus on their accounts. Also this will slow down the leveling up and selling accounts on the internet for people to buy. (Yea, there will still be people doing it, even probably on raised prices. But they won't be as many as they are now, cause it will take 3x more time for 1 account to be leveled for ranking.) On the bright side, RIOT might, earn a few more bucks on the EXP boosts.
It's just annoying to be level 300+ atm and every game get matched with people 30-40 radius. Yes alot of them are not smurfs. But when you see someone with 5-10 total ranked games for ANY season. And having a 100% win rate with a single champion. And then him being 20-1-whatever for 10 mins of game. It's just pretty obvious.
Also another suggestion, kind of connected, kind of not. For the cases when someone leaves the game and stays afk for the rest of the game. Why not lower the lose of LP to the people trying to play 4v5 in half and let the leaver get increased LP loss. After all, it's not the 4 people's fault that 1 fed and left, or just decided to be a d***, cause he has another main account.
There was this time i lost 14 games in a row (last season) due to having a leaver or two. Every single game in a row. Most of them were yasuo mid players. That die 2-3 times, give up and leave the game in the first 3-5 mins. Sometimes i've had the game start with an afk. And for some reason, we never got the "remake" vote. Another time i was playing TOP, banned a champion. Then premade bot lane, started complaining about that bann. At game start they just duo came top, dived tower, gave double kill to enemy at 0;30 of game. And continued following me wherever i go, taking farm and giving kills. In the end. Enemies and the rest of our team reported them, and nothing happened. They continued to happily play the game. (they too were low level accounts). That's the thing, when it takes 2-3 days to level to 30. Nobody cares, trolls and destroy the game for others. Either by being way above their place. Or just being a troll.
Thanks for reading. And yea, many won't agree, or nobody will. But that's just my opinion and wanted to let it out.
