i haven't tried the hextech loot thing yet
but from what i'm seeing, anyone with any form of behavioral punishment at any time in the game is not allowed hextech loot stuff.
on top of that, they're reminded every single post game lobby of that with a pop-up message
riot has to see that this in itself is pretty damn toxic lol.
me personally? i've got behavioral restrictions on this account. i couldn't really care less about the hextech looting stuff though. i just think it's bogus that i'm going to be told after every single game that im too toxic to get rewards. seems like with this change, anyone who got punished by riot will continue to get punished even if they maintain a squeaky clean record after said punishment.
