Do you think Riot will uplift permanent bans?
I think that if Riot were to re-create a new system for handling behavioral issues (which I doubt they would), they should uplift all the bans that were justified but not terribly bad. Let me explain. Some people are banned for using racial and homophobic slurs, hate speech, and overall unnecessary verbal abuse. Those types of people should NOT be unbanned. However, there are big, long term fans of the game that have supported it since the beginning and gave Riot their money and showed the devs lots of support. They are human and still can get carried away and possibly get banned. Those type of people should get a 2nd shot on their old account if Riot miraculously were to change the system (again, I doubt they will ever do that). The way I suggest it to work is that anyone who wants to get their account back, they can go to Rito support and ask them "I heard you changed the system blah blah blah I was hoping you could review my chat logs and see if I was a good noodle or nah blah blah blah." I think getting banned for saying "stfu", "idgaf it's norms let me have fun", or "fuck off" are examples of the system being extreme. I understand all the gobble-ty gunk about "you get warnings from chat-restrictions and 14-day bans and anything after those warnings are well deserved" blah blah but WE ARE HUMANS. Not even Riot Support employees are perfect at keeping their temper, whether it be in-game or IRL. We are given warnings but the power of emotions are too much to control and most of the time, we break. Again, I doubt this will ever happen because Riot money hungry. Why give people back their accounts when perma banned players can make a new account and re-buy all that shizzzz again? Just a suggestion if Riot ever decides to accept the fact that people are EMOTIONAL.
