No, I think they are saying that you are asked to share your handle and new guys tend to hand over their 'real' one. While you might just as well create a 'I apply at Riot' one earlier. Or (no idea about that) claim that you don't have one perhaps?

So you have a primary account that you play on, then apply to riot, and then create a new account that Riot doesn't know about where you call your jungler cancerous garbage. Easy peasy.

Unless you're playing your alternate account via Tor or a VPN or something, Riot can presumably notice that both accounts are used from the same IP and put the pieces together. And that would be a long way to go to hide your behavior.
