I have been seeing alot of people admitting that they are using a smuft account so they do not care if they lose or feed, doing weird builds or playing an ap hero as ad or ad hero as ap.

The existence of smuf accounts: is to get a account to level 30, join ranked games and lose to bring their elo down to "hell" so they would be playing against people with low elo or/and skills or noobs and own them, basically an account that they do not care about. They do not care that they lower others around them since their team loses and everyone get their elo lowered. I really sick of people who do this.

So I suggest we make a forums section or post where people post the smufs account name and a screen-shot of them admitting that its a smuf account, and have that account banned removed or something.

Not much you can do in a F2P game. They still lose any money or IP spent and have to rebuild the account from the ground up. They may go "hahah I have another account" but trust me they hate re-leveling, not having all the spells, runes and champs they had before.

You have the same elo as people with a build or attitude handicap, just get better and you'll stop seeing it.

I would prefer a ban or punishment by ip, so they would stop using smurfs to do bad things knowing their main account would not be affected.

I... you know there are other, benign reasons for smurf accounts, right?

I created a smurf to play with my friends, if I played on my main then they'd play people much better than them, and i'd crush them. So it becomes a race to feed off the weaker players on each team.
