My son wants to set up a 2nd account so he can play with a friend at school who has just started. My son has explained that if he uses his main account they will endlessly get into games his mate will just be out of his depth in
Are there issues with this, will be very banned for a second account?
If not, any idea how he can set one up simply?
I've done exactly that - for exactly the same reason. The two friends I play with are probably plat level, and I'm high diamond / low champ. If we play together on my main account, we get placed against other high diamonds, and it's just a terrible experience for them (and not much better for me).
So I created a second account, which I
only play when I play with them. Somehow this has still resulted in my rank being fairly higher than theirs, despite us - obviously - having had the exact same results. But not as big a gap as with my main account. I guess it takes into account your game score too. I try to avoid outscoring them too much - but even when I stay back, I'm more likely to make saves than they are.
Anyway, it does work - and we do get to play matches which are more fun for them.
