Cube World, and Smurfing in general

If you haven't heard of Cube World but have heard of Minecraft, go google that right now! It has the same limitless potential that Minecraft does, except more RPG focused. Sort of like a 3D Terraria without too much focus on the building. It's in Closed Alpha at the moment and it has some very nice features already, such as; Visually customizable weapons and when you add on to an item it gains more stats, alot of tameable mobs some of which are mountable, climbing/hang gliding and sailing/swimming. It has the same random terrain generation as Minecraft, which makes for a new adventure over every hill. If you like Minecraft and Terraria, you will more than likely love Cube World.

Since relocating my main League of Legends account to the new Oceania Server, I have been forced to play with my North American friends on an alternate account. They are generally known as a Smurf or an Alt, the reasoning behind this is beyond me. Anyway, at lower levels the ratio of the density between smurfs and newbs is considerably higher. By my judgement I would say that it goes 5:2, the greater being smurf accounts until you hit around level Thirteen where it starts evening out and you get more legitimate newbies in your games. In DOTA2 they have a fix for people that use smurf accounts, and that is to put them with more skilled players the more that they win games until they are back at their usual level of skill. I could be wrong, but I don't really notice this in LoL.
