I didn't feel bad having a smurf account in LOL.

My main account was chock full of champs that I didn't want to play in ARAM, and RIOT offered me no option to get rid of them. Add to that the fact they rework champs all the time, making them suck, making me not want them any more, and I can't sell them back. Fucked up.

So no, no guilt.

Don’t think I’ve ever used one.

Plenty of alt accounts tho. Especially in UO and EVE.

I think this is very legit. You should be allowed to remove champs from your rotation, at the very least.

To be fair, I think smurfing is probably a much bigger deal for pros or pro-level players. Pretty sure none of us are that in LoL.

Alt and Smurf aren't quite the same thing, imho. But that line gets kinda fuzzy sometimes.
It's not me, it's someone else.
