    I know what would stop a lot of smurfing, most of it comes from people being banned for talking. Stop banning people for talking and they wouldnt have to make a new account. I honestly will never understand why people ban people for talking. There is a ignore button in all games ,that's all that is needed. The only thing banning does is make people that are weak minded feel better about them selves, and holy balls of batman are there a lot of people that need that ban revenge for some one saying something they don't like. Blizzard is the worst at it, but riot is right up there.

    I don't know why people can't just hit that ignore button and move on. This website suffers from that same problem haha. It's like corporate owners cater to people with 0 control over their lives or minds, so they gotta protect them I guess. God damn do I miss the days where there were no report buttons just ignore buttons. All report buttons do is breed hate, fear, anger, and anxiety. I know I'm in the minority though, and gave up a long time ago on that cause.

    I'm gonna end with if you are so weak minded you literally want to see some one punished for typing on the internet, you really should be spending time fortifying your mind not wasting it reading things you cannot handle.

    Making a new account and playing at a much lower bracket than your actual skill/rank (i.e. a diamond rank player playing in bronze/silver).
    I'm wondering how anyone could prove a player is smurfing in an anonymous internet world.

    Basically clicking away text windows ruins every MMO, try to have fun instead of rushing things. Without story and lore all there is left is a bunch of mechanics.
