Do not spend money on League of Legends.
Let me first note that this post is not out of rage, but resentment and concern. I hate the League of Legends community with a passion. When I say this, I mean that I will literally talk crap to someone the entire game if they make so much as one stupid mistake, whatever it may be; or if I'm being harassed, I will respond with lots of hate before I even think about muting them. It is the way I am.
I have been perma-banned on one account, and temp-banned on this one, and honestly I can tell you that I could really care less. I find it nice to constantly hound people for doing absolutely retartedly-stupid things. What concerns me is that on my perma-banned account, I had spent upwards of 50$ on various things; 50$ of the money that I worked for, gone, non-refundable.
I could care less about my silver rank, or of the people that play this game. What does concern me is that most people do not realize that if their account is perma-banned, that's it. The money that is spent on that account is gone, lost forever.
Some people may respond: "Well that's what you get for being toxic!" No. I don't deserve to have my money stripped away from me for calling someone a godamned down syndrome f*ck. I'm fine with the ban, but when my money is taken away, that's where I draw the line.
The moral of this post is: If you're toxic like me, your investment in this game is risky, and I would encourage you not to do it.
