Bans do nothing for this game

It's come to my attention that bans do literally nothing for any game that is F2P. I just played a game where I got a Udyr support who said that this is his 5th account that he's made and isn't worried about getting banned for trolling. So when Riot continues to make comments on how they want a healthy game, I keep losing faith on how they will achieve it when trolls continue to be a problem and people get reported for going negative in one game that was out of their control. One of my closest friends just got a suspension for "Throwing" Because he went 4-16 and the entire team was a stack of friends who trolled the whole game. What are you doing to do Riot? I want to continue to support this game because I have so many good memories with it, but I can't continue to deal with trolls that run rampant with no repercussions to their main accounts.

the only solution is to make it harder for accounts to be allowed into ranked games.

But then that just causes outrage within the community so that's not an option.

It's about the only solution, though.

It's a shitty one, but at the very least it makes them take longer to get back into ranked and removes some stuff.

I've been banned and I can confirm that it is easy to get back into the game with a new account. I even got a 2 week ban on the new account but since it is so easy to create new accounts, I wasn't really too worried. Only thing I care about now is honor. Ever since they announced that you need honor level 2 to earn ranked rewards, I've had regret but whatever.
