...because 1 its robbing people of A, the most precious commodity of ones life, their time...
Riot doesn't make you play their game, so the only people wasting their time are those that voluntarily do so. That's pretty much the entire point of a game - to kill time.
That said - if you think that playing a game, breaking its rules, and getting banned is a waste of time - y'might not want to partake in one or two of those steps. Just sayin'.
...and B, their money, which makes riot games criminals, figuratively,
No? There's no way - figuratively or literally - that Riot could be considered criminals. You, the player, voluntarily gave Riot money in a non-refundable transaction. They did not rob you of jack shit, you willingly gave them your money. If you can't be bothered to adhere to the very simple rules they lay out for you, that's your own problem.
...but still, 2-5 games out of 1000s does not equate to permanently suspending an account and ruining all progress made on an account.
Again, allow me to reiterate; you, the player, are solely responsible for your investment and contribution to a game. You invested time and money to it, but then contributed negativity and ignorance of the rules. None of that is Riot's fault.
That said - it really couldn't have been "2-5 games" - you'd have to show a consistent pattern of negative behavior just to be punished once - to carry on all the way to a permaban means that you very clearly did not care for the rules despite at least three separate punishments.
I figure a modest estimate of negative behavior (to the point of a permanent ban) would fall more into the range of 7-12 games. The number could be higher, the number could be lower, but you still have to be consistently negative to warrant a permaban.
I didnt even know that perma bans happened right after 2 week suspensions, i just thought the 2 week suspensions would keep going...
The pop-up that informs you about your 14-day ban tells you that the next punishment will be a permaban. That you didn't bother to read it - or, for that matter, shape up when you actually were held off from playing the game for your behavior - is, again, your own fault.
...i was told by others that perma banns only happened when you int, scrips or continuously tell people extremes like "kys" racism, or sexism etc. (in my defense)
If you got any of that information from here, you either were looking at the wrong sources, or reading the sources wrong in some way. Even a short browse of the PB boards will show you that, yes, one can get permabanned for continually being negative or displaying bad behavior - even if on its own the chat would warrant a chat restriction, if you're high enough in the punishment tiers, you can and will get banned.
The only things that are particularly exclusive are ID bans, chargeback bans, or shield bans.
That aside, ignorance of the rules is not a valid defense against the rules.
If others agree, this would be a great idea to silence toxicity and prevent loses to accounts people have worked hard on...
- A majority of people would certainly disagree.
- Like others have mentioned, no. This would not silence toxicity, it would only narrow the avenues down to trolling.
- If people really cared for the accounts they worked hard on, they would be wise to not break the rules.
...lets get accounts unbanned...
Hell no.
People who have been banned toxicity have been given at least three warnings to stop acting like assholes. If they didn't learn after the 10-game chat restriction, didn't learn after the 25-game chat restriction, and somehow didn't learn after the 14-day ban, Riot needs to give them a very, very, very tangible punishment so that they will learn.
And those bans are very, very often well-deserved.
To unban people who flamed their way to the permaban would essentially be Riot saying "hey, everyone, we encourage you all to be toxic and flame each other to death!" - and, let's be real. They're never going to say that, and they sure as hell aren't ever going to imply it through a systemic change.
...and a better system in place...
Permanent chat restrictions are not a better system. If one doesn't learn from a 10-game or 25-game chat restriction, what are they going to learn from a permanent chat restriction? (my money is on "nothing".)
