"Just make a new account"

Long story short, reported someone for calling our adc 'r*tarded'. I asked them why they say that shit knowing they'll get a penalty or worse? They said they don't care because they just make a new account, in this example, the player said that this was their 4th account, after 3 got perma-banned. How easy is it to just start a new account? I mean, if someone is on their 4th account and still dont care, what can be done to keep really offensive people from ruining games?

It's a serious flaw in the free-to-play system, unfortunately. I mean, re-leveling accounts without all your champs and skins unlocked is a pretty big deterrent, but it can be worked around by throwing money at it.

That said, there's a good chance the dude was bluffing you. People do that.

I don't understand why some one would go through the effort of making that many accounts.

It's pretty easy to start a new account, at least unless you're in Korea which requires your Korean Social Security Number to sign up for a new one.

The saddest part is after awhile you may like the game but the system that punishes people hurt the community more. I have been permanently banned over 2 games with slight infractions where i got mad at a troll and said something. Nothing extreme just said id tell the enemy team when they where about to come in my lane. Didn't even follow through. But that was enough apparently just that one mess up in over 500 games was enough to ban me.

You know what that teaches me? No matter how nice you are the fact that you are not perfect and messed up in less the percent of your games doesn't matter the fact that you ever mess up is what matters. So for me instead of learning to be nicer all it taught me was because im not perfect there is no point in even trying to be nice. Might as well make as many people mad on a different account as possible while abusing the fact that you cant be banned if you dont make it obvious you're trolling and don't speak. Easiest thing in the world.

When nothing you do matters and no matter what you lose everything might as well take the world with you. That is likely his motivation. A couple games out of hundreds no matter how slight got his time and money removed so now he has decided it is time to get revenge on the community who forms lynch mobs on slight infractions and the company who endorses a one sided system. Especially if you do it to new players. They will quit forever and youll get others mad and they will tilt and you will report them getting them banned by this petty childish system.

Just my thoughts on the matter.
