Should reformed players be allowed to earn back their old banned accounts?
Hello there, My name is McSiggs and I am a banned account since February 2017. I started playing league around late 2015, around late season 5, and I always was a toxic player. I would flame my teammates and go all out on anyone who I deemed to be trolling. I then got hit with a chat restriction for 10 games, in which case at first opened my eyes a little to what I was doing wrong. However to my own dismay I continued to flame and be toxic. I eventually got permanently banned, to my surprise after a year of playing and being toxic. Now I am not going to point out the wrongs or why I hate the Instant feedback system. Because honestly I don't hate it at all. I appreciate that there is a system in place for people like me. For the ones who were toxic and still are ruining the community. Now there is something I wanted to point out, an idea if you will for maybe Riot could consider. From the moment I first started playing league to now climbing elo and getting hardstuck in Gold, I love the game. Riot has outdone themselves and have come along way. I am proud to say that I play this game and made some long time friends because of it. Now I wouldn't be posting this if I didn't care about the game which I really do, even more so the community. There is this idea I have been thinking about and letting it cultivate in my mind. I realized something that can be done for players who have taken the steps toward their reformation or who have reformed and just enjoying the game like everyone else. I propose their should be a way to honor the players and that small community of people who were toxic and eventually reformed. Think of this as like Alcoholics Anonymous but for league players. A program where it is prompted with the warning of a permanent ban. Now there would be two parts to this, either if someone had an account and has reformed but plays on a new separate account, they can go through this program and eventually earn their account back. And the other part is the initial prompt when a person is facing a long time ban. In order for a summoner to earn their account back they would go through a variety of steps in the program to prove that they have reformed. This can include a 100 games which they cannot be reported or they will be banned. A group of players who are also in the program which they can only play together otherwise they cannot solo by themselves, think of this as like a buddy system. Maybe even with this program this could add longer chat restrictions before bans, because one thing I noticed is that I did better and won more games in ranked when my chat was restricted/limited because I wouldn't be able to say as much so I just didn't bother and focused on the game. Obviously I would go back to my old ways once the chat restriction is done. Now this and many other ideas I am sure the league community can come up with could be implemented in such a program. This can be all supervised by a team from Riot in which their mission would be to assist players who truly want to be reformed and earn their accounts back. Now I know what many are thinking, "Hey McSiggs, Riot states that any account that's perma banned cannot ever ever ever be overturned". Very true fellow comrade, but what I'm proposing wouldn't just be overturning account like its nothing. These are valuable accounts that people put time and effort into cultivating and earning. Whether its elo, skins or even just worthwhile time. Any account that is banned is a sad thing to have happen. Personally for me I would truly be invested into such a program like this because I want people to learn from their mistakes and have the community stronger not only for the game but for Riot as well. Without the community there is no Riot, yet without Riot there wouldn't be a community in the first place. So there needs to be strong relationship between both. I hope to hear back from many of you. I want to hear your thoughts and concerns and don't hesitate to leave a comment! Have fun out there in the Rift summoners!

simple kids.
. I've seen dozens of streamers be completely toxic during streams calling teammates "fucking retards" sure they dont type it but they say it and doesn't that have more of an impact as a random player that got angry in his promo games and flamed and got muted by most of the team by the 10 minute point? Yes it does they of often have big followings and fans go into games a mimic this behavior again analyze the way your run things Riot. There is also those classical passive aggressive players that will not directly curse you but after a fail flash or fail ult they will "say nice flash buddy :^)" triggering the players into becoming toxic and guess what happens next?? the player gets triggered flames the bully and then??? wow what a surprise the triggered player gets banned because the passive aggressive player reported him for insanely toxic behaviour and the funniest part is that when you complain to riot about this and all they say is "sorry you should've muted him" nothing can be done now. Very nice! You get triggered by a teammate but since there is no cursing or foul language used they get to walk away laughing and continue to be toxic in a passive way which is obnoxious. Also, isn't saying GGEZ at the end of the game offensive to the enemy team? shouldn't that be a bannable offense according to riot you shall not be "negative". Basically League of Legends is a great game with a trash tribunal system. I am now happily playing in diamond 2 being passive aggressive as hell and not even 1 chat restriction boys so if you wanna be toxic let me give you a tip be passive agressive and riot will allow toxicity to live! Imagine how this game is going to be when voice chat is implemented I cant wait for the shit storm. Cheers.
