we all know that actual IP bans arent an option. but what if we made it so if an IP has a certain number of permabanned acounts on it. any account put up for punishment skips to the permaban. meaning people could still play on that IP. but if put up for punishment they skip tiers.

ModWulf Helhammer4 votesDo college dorms, multiple people in a household, and PC cafes ring any bells?
scazzman1 votesDo college dorms, multiple people in a household, and PC cafes ring any bells?
yes. which is why it would be a "soft" IP ban. and the only collateral would be toxic players.
CooL Ice Tea4 votesIf you ban every account with the IP from a college dorm then nobody on this college (thousands of people) can log into there accounts. Don't you get that?

apparently people cant read. you wouldnt be banning every account on that IP. just people on that IP if punished. would skip straight to the permaban. and yes. i know that IPs can easily be changed
ModWulf Helhammer6 votesSo someone makes one minor mistake that would normally only result in a chat restriction, and suddenly they're permabanned? That's not right.

well. if riot wants to dehumanize toxic players. and expect people to be robots. why not go the whole 9 yards?
AeroWaffle3 votesAre you expecting reasonable discussion when you give a reply like this?
SmokedAlmonds4 votesWhy beat around the bush then? Just make every single offense an instant permanent ban.
Riot wants to reform toxic players, not dehumanize them.
CooL Ice Tea1 votesThis was more or less what i meant
SmokedAlmonds3 votesSo lets say Mike buys a house. Mike goes on to commit some serious crimes and ends up with life in prison. John later buys that house. John commits a minor offense like getting in a bar fight. Do you think it is acceptable to give John life in prison for a bar fight just because his house was previously owned by someone who did things worthy of life in prison?
I hate toxic people more than most but your suggestion is completely ridiculous. Collateral damage is only one of the problems with IP bans anyway. They are simply ineffective. In the US almost everyone has a dynamic IP address, which means it changes. It will likely change periodically on its own and you can change it on demand in most cases with methods that require no technical knowledge. Any searches to anything close to the topic is going to net you the simple answer you need which is basically unplug your modem, count to 10, and plug it back in.
ShinigamiKazuki1 votesAre.. are you using your brain?
Not to be rude, since my opening statement clearly was.
What you're asking Riot to do is create a way in which to harshly punish EVERYONE for being slightly toxic? We ALL have those days where we're being overly angry and toxic, and getting one ban gives us a decent warning to smarten up.
Asking Riot to fuck EVERYONE over because of the faults of a few is ridiculous, and LOADS of cafes would lose business from players that purely went for League, and trust me, it's a LOT.
And in Dorms, or shared households you're basically fucking over the siblings that didn't do much wrong because one person went full retard.
This "Soft" IP ban will do nothing but drop Riot's customers, something they would rather not do.. at all.

You are still giving unequal treatment. This plan would basically condemn any college student to immediately get a perma-ban on the first punishment if the dorm had reached the max perma-ban account limit.
