Give us a chance to get our accounts back

I made a thread about a month ago, on why I felt the punishment system is too harsh, and trying to get Riot to incorporate another try at giving people a chance at earning their perma banned accounts back.

I don't want to delve into all of it again as it was a long post, so I'll leave it here: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/apd4Tpc3-long-post-i-just-hope-someone-will-listen

Please Riot. Give us a chance again. I'll be your guinea pig, if you let me.

There's no way Riot's going to introduce any method for permabanned players to try and recover their account. They've already tried something similar in the past, and it had an abysmally low success rate. 95% of the players Riot hand-picked and deemed "most likely to succeed" failed.

Beyond that, the permanent ban is supposed to be a punishment, and when someone gets a permaban, that's a sign that they genuinely didn't care about the rules, and Riot had to put their foot down. The point of the permaban is for Riot to get the message across that they will not tolerate people breaking the rules, and the consequence for doing so is appropriately harsh.

If Riot just allowed people to recover their accounts after a permanent ban, then the punishment would lose all of its impact and have no reason to exist in the first place. Why worry about losing your account when you can just play "nice guy" for a while and get it back?

The permanent ban is the absolute end of the road for an account. And, permanent means permanent. There's no way to get it back, and I don't see Riot implementing one in the near or far future, simply because of how easily such an option would be abused and how quickly toxic players would start ruining more games.

Besides, how many chances do you really need to understand that you should be following the rules? Riot feels like three minimum (or one at absolute minimum) works best. How many chances do you need? Four? Five? IMO, one chance is enough.

The "chance" was the 14 days ban.

you already get multiple chances

chat restrict: second chance 14day ban: third chance

there is no way to skip 14day without cheating. you've had a second chance.

If you toxic you should be banned

Community is too toxic, no one will support this untill all the toxic people downvoting the thread are finally permabanned.

Just gotta wait it out. Eventually enough people will be permabanned or have quit the game. When Riot starts losing money, they will start caring, but sadly it will be too late for them by then.

Remember lads, there is legitimately no argument against this thread now that Riot has proven to be hypocritical and given Tyler1 his account back. Permabans are permanent! ... unless you're a famous streamer LOL!
