The Futility of Account Bans

Riot, you people are hilarious. I've had yet another account banned by you folks. Why? Who even cares. I wonder if you are hoping that people get it together and start a new account and spend a shit ton of money again getting an account up to level 30 with champs. Well, Ive got news for you. Ive NEVER bothered doing that. Riot has never made a cent off of me from any type of in game purchases. Why? Because I can just go on that ebay place and buy a loaded account for about the cost of the cost of 8-10 skins so keep up the good work and I'll keep telling people in game exactly what I think.

Just because you are intent on having a perpetual temper tantrum doesn't mean everyone else is. Bans are effective in reforming or removing consistent or extremely toxic players the majority of the time. If you calmed down and tried to enjoy the game not at the expense of others, I guarantee you'll have a better time.

I mean, if you're dumb enough to keep paying hundreds for new accounts each time you get banned, don't let us stop you. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

With that kind of attitude you'll just keep getting banned over and over again until you either shape up or ship out. Also, buying accounts are a quick way to get you banned as it's not allowed here. Why say stuff that you know will just get you in trouble? You can enjoy the game without becoming a jerk the moment that you don't get your way. There's a time and a place for everything, and if you're unwilling to interact with others in a neutral or positive manner then multiplayer online games are not for you. As for your opening argument, from Ulanopo's Knowledge Base:

Riot bans people because they make money off of forcing people to create new accounts and repurchase the skins.

Just stop. This is a really silly argument. I didnt pay for my account any more than you did and while I have bought a number of things, I didnt have to. Theres nothing relevant to competitive play that I couldnt have bought with IP.

Also, Riot actively discourages people from making new accounts.

Actually, if we're permabanning you we don't want your money or your time. Just find another game.

man I was just about to complain about this lol!

Note to everyone out there: They've increased penalties and penalty qualifiers again recently, so don't say SHIT in the game at all. I got banned for cussing someone out, which I expected even though they started it, but later I got banned for like 2 weeks when I didn't even insult anyone in any way whatsoever at all.

The second ban I got just for saying my chat box isn't on screen so I'm invicible, so I have no idea how I got banned for that. I'm prob just not going to use this account anymore; I'm smurfing now, and losing bronze games lol! It's like a blast from the past
