I let a friend use my account...

Hi. I just wanted to start off by saying that I've been playing league since around season 2, and throughout this time I have seen lots of changes to the tribunal and punishment systems. In all honesty, I prefer a more an un-moderated chat system like for example in Counter Strike, but towards the end, I rarely used my chat in game anyway.

But that's besides the point. Now, the issue is I let a friend play on my account. A couple days back I check the email that I use for my league account and see a bunch of emails from riot, with the latest one being about a permanent account suspension. Turns out, this friend of mine has gotten my account perm. banned and didn't tell me a single thing about it. I've played a couple times on the account prior to it getting banned, and noticed that it had a 50 game chat ban, so I asked my friend about it and he said it was because of leaving games (I didn't really pay much attention to league news so I believed him). This perm. ban was very shocking to me so I confronted my friend about it, turns out hes gotten another 4 accounts perm. banned since then! (1/4th to tyler1 level lol). And looking through the chat logs... well just see for yourself: (STRONG LANGUAGE)

The reason I'm making this post is because I'm sad. I lost my cool icons, lost all my skins, lost my account with all my buddies... And now that I want to play league again, I'm pretty much forced to start a new account :(

I understand, that this ban is 100% my fault because I lent my account to a friend, so all the way from the start, it's my fault, But what if your account was hacked by someone, and they got it banned while you weren't using it? Weird situation huh...

Anyway this is just a rant, and a warning post to anyone who wants to give their account to their friends to play on...

Thanks for reading.

That's certainly a good warning, but another would be that account sharing for any reason is against the Terms of Use and may result in a banned account whether they are toxic or not.

Have your friend reimburse you.

I would never let anyone EVER use my acct. it scares me to even play while I'm out of town. I'm afraid the change in IP will ping the system or something.

I've worked too hard finally climbing to Plat. And spent WAYYYYYY too much money on skins.

The desire to keep my acct also reformed my behavior after I got a 14 day ban. 😟
