Something that should be considered that would clean up toxicity within the League Community.

Plz_Pm_Me_Cute_Fish's comment from discussion "Permaban IP Addresses?"

This is a link to something I read on reddit. It brings up a good point. Why do they permaban accounts that have been banned due to chat issues? IDC about anything else he says, but I notice that what is stated about chat bans is correct, if you were to lose all chat privileges on a perma-muted account, but still be able to play, you would still likely end up creating a new account.

It would also make sense to make perma-muted accounts banned from ranked games, and blind pick, force them to play team builder only, or aram, not even bots.

As someone who has an account that was permabanned over a year ago for a chat related issue, I believe this would have resolved the entire issue with me, the new account I made would have been my baby, I would have made sure I did everything in my power to make sure I had a clean slate.

Now that I can't play my main, I still have that feeling of slightly being cheated, yes, I know it is Riot's game, and information and etc , but I really enjoy'd there game, that is why I invested in the past on my main account, once I got banned, I became bitter, but still liked the game.

I believe all chat based permabans should be removed, I think it should be permanent chat mutes, for other things, keep them banned.

People keep wondering why "toxicity" runs rampant, and its due to this issue. As someone who has reformed, but looking at it from all angles, it slightly concerns me that they allow an automated system ban people based upon text based chat, literally every single other game I have played on a computer that requires text communication forced permamutes, not permabans for that issue.

I am still able to login to my permbanned main account, and it shows me the chat, I understand what I did wrong and etc, but I just feel like alot of the current toxicity could have been avoided with this implementation, and also a large amount of the community would not have left in the past few years.

This is something serious for Riot to consider, please.

There are some people who love the game, they invested in their desire to be entertained more by it, but I have personally stopped, knowing that, just like my main account, I could be banned for something I say, even if I say it jokingly, or even helpfully, if enough people report it.

I have been playing online games since Quake 3 back in the day, I understand why this game has done this to me.

The only reason I remain playing this game, is honestly because sub consciously, I feel robbed, I feel like I need to get my enjoyments worth out of it at least, even if the enjoyment is causing mayhem by feeding, being an asshole, etc. This behaviour perpetuates with almost everyone in my shoes, if they see it, ignore it, or are completely oblivious to it.

Not going to lie, that post has put a lot into perspective for me recently.

I hope other players read that reddit post, and this, and come to their own decisions based upon their experiences, the consequences they have faced, etc.

Sorry for the storybook.

I believe anyone who is chat banned should stay far, far away from LoL. I don't want them to play with me, not even muted.

The thing is that they already done "permachat" type of punishment. At the very least it was an indefinite chat reatictions. And when they did implement that people who were toxic that were under this punishment went and troll to get their jollies off. Since that didn't work why would they implement something like this again?

With that people just don't understand why rules get into place. They are not hard to follow. At the end of the day all that matters is that you aren't rude to the people you are playing with. You have no reason to be, but people will always act like that. They feel they are above the law and think because it's the Internet it's perfectly fine to tell people o kill themselves, or to use racial slurs as if that's the only vocabulary they know!
