Bronze/Silver/Gold lobbies are 'swarming' with SMURFS

RIOT, when are you going to address the SMURF problem?

It is ruining the game experience for players who are in the lower ELO. Every time I join a game, there are at least 2-3 smurfs, in my team or in the enemy team, which just destroys the whole match experience.

I was thinking to buy the Phantom 2.0 Bundle, but I don't think I will move forward with the purchase as I don't really enjoy losing most of the time and pray I don't get a smurf in the enemy team. And this is not just me, a bunch of my friends also backed off from spending any money. What's the point if some Immortal/Radiant smurf is gonna join a silver/gold lobby and destroy us all.

You guys are actually losing money by not addressing this problem. Valve addressed it to some extent by using 2FA with a mobile number. When can we expect something like this?
