Make it cost $10 to make each account.

I've seen this posted a while ago but I'm gonna do it too.

There is this fuck who posted 3 times lately [wanna say his name but naming and shaming is bad] about how he was permabanned multiple times. Now he's made it his goal to make accounts, be as toxic as possible, and get as many people banned as possible.

The best way to avoid this is by adding raw values to accounts, by making them cost money. Currently the toxic trolls can just get banned, make an account, ruin a few peoples' days, get banned, and continue because they lose literally nothing from it.

They would be MUCH less likely to do this if every time they did this it costed them $10.

Now you may be thinking: "But then less people will play LoL if it's not free!" But I think the vast majority of people who will pick up League have already, considering everyone and their dog has heard about the game.

I think the positives vastly outweigh the negatives of this, and it would solve a lot of problems by giving people more incentive to not lose their accounts.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm the fuck that made the 3 posts, thanks for the mention. Also, that's just a horrible idea. League lures you in be being free then traps you with their skins. Making it pay to play would go against, like, everything.

riot hates long queue times and making people pay 10 dollars to play the game would definitely make riot lose many players and the queue times would be much longer

ok Lets not forget one big problem with this suggestion...

Considering how League is already... Well, I'm not saying the games on a decline, But everyone and their mother is bitching about league dying.

But considering that, Do you REALLY Think that making the game have a 10$ Entrance fee would help the problem?

And i mean this on 2 scales

1: Its money. You're paying money to play the game. At this point, You might aswell give them a free skin aswell.

2: Its an Annoyingly Small Amount of money. I mean, 10$ Seems like a lot in terms of a lot of games, Especially small indie games, But the fact is most people make that in an hour or two, And that could buy you... Maybe a good sized chicken and a 12 pack of your favorite canned fizzy.

Now, I know the second part is fixed by the idea that "Hey, world of credit cards and bank accounts, Shouldn't be a problem", But then you're going to have... Essentially walking bank accounts begging to be hacked. There's a large reason i publicly state "Buy Gift cards, Dont plug your credit card right in" Because the fact is, When you got a system like Riot's, With No 2 step authentication... Hacking isn't this long con thing.. Its just password hacks, Be it keystroke loggers or just a full on database hack... People are going to be much more vulnerable...

And yes, you Could Do that "Just make a 2 auth. system, Like cellphone or a second email, We already have league mobile app!" But the fact is... No one would put the time into playing then.

If this game had a $10 cost since it was launched it wouldn't exist anymore because it'd be too unpopular to keep running.

how about this. I am offering to play with you on a fresh account and level it up and having fun without toxicity? I kinda want to show you the other side you are unable to see.

What do you say?

How to kill a game struggling to keep what it has 101

That will single handedly murder this game. It’s completely built around being free to play, and making you feel like you want to spend money, not that you have to. To change that will destroy the flow of new players into the game and cause backlash from existing ones, possibly bankrupting the game in one fell swoop.

If you don’t like dealing with toxic people, mute them in chat and don’t respond. Riot has given people the tools to deal with this. He can be a pain but he doesn’t control how others act.

That said, I think people are downvoting this for the wrong reasons. It should be saved for toxic or negative posts, not ideas you disagree with (that’s what comments are for). +1 to counterbalance this.
