Furthermore, is smurfing allowed in LoL?
Yes and no. Boosting is a whole other story though. Most 'smurfing' in LoL is people on alternate accounts trying to get up to their proper rank. They aren't staying low in order to crush people.
Beside above, how can you tell if someone is smurfing? Just from looking at the aggressiveness of the player as well can give you a big clue. If they are super aggressive and keep diving you every few minutes then they're probably used to doing it at a much higher skill level. The next time you see someone getting a pentakill then they're probably a smurf.
Keeping this in consideration, what does Smurf stand for?

Is smurfing allowed in rocket League?
Rocket League developer Psyonix has listed smurfing as cheating in a 2016 banning policy notice posted on its website and it is something players can report in-game. "The length of player bans for any valid reason is also at our discretion and could include permanent bans if appropriate," Psyonix wrote.
