This is what unranked modes are for, generally, and when there is no equivalent unranked mode that's definitely a failure of the game. Csgo had that issue for a looooooooong time as well.

There are also other legitimate reasons. The drunk account can be one (since even unranked modes often use skill based matchmaking), or the actual practice one (I feel for my alternate universe teammates in which I didn't use a smurf to learn how to play more than one char in league).

Bu5 I do feel like the negative impact from people using smurfs for ego boost or to be an asshole in some way far outweighs the upsides, sadly.
