"Just make a new account"

Coldblooooded ·Jan 23, 2018·1 votes·424 views

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.

"offensive people from ruining games"

the mute button.

True, but it sucks when you have to mute a team mate in a team based game... I do end up muting them, but when they continue to harass the other 3 players it still affects the game big-time. But you're right ,the mute button has been a life saver.

the best you can do is control what YOU can. even its a loss you know you did everything to prevent it. be proud of that

You're absolutely right. About a month ago I decided that I was going to try and be as positive as I can, regardless of how badly anyone plays or trolls or whatever. In the end, despite a few losses and a few assholes, I feel content that I did my best to make it a good game. It's definitely worth it.

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

Coldblooooded Jan 24, 20181 votes

Yea me neither, I made another account once to politely avoid someone on my friends list and it was so shitty starting over with nothing... I don't understand who could actually do that multiple times... Same for smurfs, I mean that seems like a lot of effort just to play lower ranked people...

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.

I dunno, I just know any free to play online game in Korea requires a KSSN for registration. Probably something with the government if I had to guess.

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.

"... 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."

Maybe team based games aren't meant for you then, if you had trouble controlling your anger like that... Are you like that in real life? :/
