How is RIOT "addressing" smurfing?

I just played a game with a suspected smurf(s)...and it is not fun at all. I am writing because I thought RIOT said they will do something about smurfs... What they have done...?

I am in Gold...and a duo just picked Reyna and Omen went 50/2 as Reyna, and Omen went 13/0. They just went 13/0 against our team in the quickest game of ranked I have ever played. They were obviously boosting their Sage- who seemed to be lost the whole game. Sage didn't get a single kill and provided us with the only glimmer of hope throughout the game.

Reyna and Omen were both Silver 1 as the ranking system see's it....yeah...right...there isn't even an option to report for suspected smurfing? What do you think should be done when caught?

Matchmaking is broken: Lower ranks going up against high ranks

Add an option to spectate your friend while in their party

I really want to spectate my homies playing their matches so that I could be entertained while waiting for them to finish. I know discord is an option but my 3 gb ram laptop cant give me the satisfaction of smooth gameplay.
