I'm just curious about this. And was wondering if people that know can shed some light.

So, I get the alert with me reporting people in my past games a lot. (Really happy about that, though unfortunate that the community get's penalized all the time for crappy behavior.) Anyways, I was curious on whether or not these people are actually penalized. Like...is their IP banned for an amount of time or is it just that account that gets banned gone? Cause I like to help the community of those that are like me and don't like playing with people that aren't team players or their goal is to just troll ranked games daily. And I'm wondering if they can just make another account and play? I wanna feel that I'm doing well by ridding other players of people like this, but if they're just able to make another account and keep going. Kinda would feel reporting them after the game and filling out why is useless. [zombie-nunu-tears]

It's not useless because their account can have a lot of money, time, and achievements invested in it, such as Elementalist Lux, Soulstealer Vayne, or Victorious Morgana, etc. For most people, being on good behavior to prevent their hard earned work from being stripped from them is enough. For those who get banned, all of this is lost.

I for 1 do not buy skins for this exact reason. I dont invest anything into the game, so when my account gets banned - I have lost nothing.

Honestly that shouldn't even be the case or else by that logic any toxic person would just buy a couple things on their account and it should be safe no matter what rules they break.

If anything that should be more reason why you shouldn't be toxic. I have some vaulable things on my account and I have been playing for probably over 6 years. Never gotten so much as a warning because I try not to break the rules.

I think you misread me.

When you receive a notification that your report resulted in a punishment, it's either a chat restriction a temp account ban or permanent account ban as per the punishment tiers in the link above. The majority of players that are punished just once improve their behavior and don't get punished again, so as long as you're making accurate reports it is helping the community.

Certainly there are players that get permabanned and just make a new account and go back to being toxic, but Riot doesn't do IP bans to prevent it; it's very difficult to impossible to enforce a player ban, and IP banning has historically proven to be harmful and ineffective because it hits people not related to the banned player and is also easily circumvented. Most people, regardless of how toxic they are, don't like to lose everything they've worked for though.

IP bans will happen in the 0.01% of cases. most people get a warning. maybe a 2 week ban. scripters and botters get banned in waves like twice a year when the wave comes. gets the people that bought accounts online that where bot leveled too. but honestly if you just wanna play and not level its honestly cheaper. Just dont expect to have your account at the end of the season.

Intentional feeds dont really get banned. Seriously some people are actually that bad. people who buy 1 item 6 times to fill the item bar get banned.

the statistic of toxic people is 5% of players. that means you play 2 games and you should run into 1 toxic person. If you are expecting a trophy. no. if you think you are helping. no. If you are reporting these people because you are salty and just want to see if on the off chance of getting them blocked for 2 weeks. yes.

favorite reason i report people is when i see them type "Report (so-so) for being toxic." when i see that i report. normally because the person is egging on the guy already tilted and that is the line i draw as this person is some white knight holy-er than thou person that is getting reported. Also, because its harassment.

Some people get banned for breaking the meta and spend 2 weeks arguing with riot support till they unban the account anyway.
where are the Singed mains out there?

so.. yeah they make another account and keep playing. if they want.

I agree with everything you said except for that last part. It's really sad that to this day people still believe the only reason why that person was ban was for being off meta. When that is false! Riot has stated numerous times why this person was ban and it was never because he was off meta.

Even if that was the case a hell of a lot more people would be ban since loads of people (especially pro-players) play off meta and none of them get ban, so why would this guy get the short end of the stick unless he did other things to warrant his punishment, like not communicating, being unsportsmanlike (not helping the team), to basically overall trolling. Granted I'm not sure why I'm surprised, people still believe Tyler1 is a saint that never broke the rules and should have never gotten ban!

the last one is a rare ban, but every now and then people actually get banned for this. the only champion i know that this happens to is Singed. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/5cupmb/2_million_mastery_point_smite_support_singed/

not saying i agree with rito and their actions, but i does happen.

there are afew cases of rito employees abusing their power and banning players just because they are salty. when identified they are fired or reprimanded. i am not making things up it is just what happens.

Tyler1 has an interesting ban. if anyone plays Draven more than 5 games at his mothers IP address that account will be banned. His brother is a lulu main and has not had his account banned yet from that IP. Yeah Tyler1 broke the rules. I would say he has officially had 6 accounts banned before the perma ban then about +12 more accounts banned just because he was streaming when he played them. It is a technicality when people quote the number of banned accounts he has.

just think DDOSing is bullshit cough IWD cough and afew other known players. i think boosting is a disagreeable practice as well. There is a good list of pros and friends of employees that boosted in the past and wont be surprised if they still do. Also scripters need to burn in hell. lost to too many of them in my day. i am not good enough to constantly beat a scripter, but i have a few tricks that i have used.
