I think Riot's announcement was unwise.
Tyler1 gets banned 19 times? I think Riot already decided to continually ban Tyler1 for playing LoL, looong before they announced this indefinite ban. The fact that they announced it brought everyone's attention to the fact that they are ALREADY banning Tyler1 indefinitely, I mean, COME ON. 19 accounts banned? That's basically already barring Tyler1 from playing the game. They should have just kept it quite and permanently repeatedly banned him everytime he created an account as they already have been doing.
Would have avoided the whole downvote train at that Riot post.
