Should All Accounts Get Punished When You Receive A Punishment???

Being that I believe most people on this game has more than 1 account, this will most likely get down voted into oblivion.

But I truly believe if a person gets punished it should go for all their accounts. Im so tired of seeing people intentionally feed and then saying they do not care about being reported because they have other accounts or because its not their main account.

They can do whatever they want and ruin your game, waste your time and nothing truly happens to them because they can just switch accounts and carry on like nothing happened.

Do YOU have multiple accounts? Would you be ok with losing your main? Would you consider that "nothing happened"?

I definitely agree. I think a permanent ban should mean the person should never be allowed to play league ever again.

That said, with the game being free to play I don't really see a practical way of accomplishing that. IP bans are ineffective and have collateral damage. Most people(at least in the US) have dynamic IPs which means they change. Most people can change their IP by simply unplugging their modem and waiting a few minutes, at worst they have to call their ISP. Not only do they get out of the ban with a new IP, but that IP that is banned is eventually going to be assigned to someone else who will then be banned. Also many large networks like college campuses share a single or small range of IPs. So if 1 person on the network gets banned everyone on that IP would be banned which could be thousands of people.

I just don't see how this could possibly be accomplished without a price tag on the game and that just isn't likely to happen. I would love to see something like Korea has(I think its Korea) where they require their equivalent of an SSN to register an account but I know that would not go over well in NA.

Riot does occasionally ban multiple accounts when one gets a permaban. It requires it to be manually done though to verify that the account does actually belong to the same person. It's simply due to how much time it takes to investigate and such is why they dont do it all the time.

I can see both pros and cons to that idea.

Pros:

It helps dissuade poor behavior and emphasizes the consequences of poor behavior. It helps promote and encourage reform.

Cons:

Collateral damage: players who immediately reform after their punishment have to constantly live with the consequences of their actions long after they've reformed (assuming that they have multiple accounts anyways).

Because when people get premabanned they want to revenge in their smurfs so u cannot do anything about it

This makes sense to me. You don't even need IP bans, just keep track on the back end of which accounts are owned by the same people (logging in from the same client with the same hardware, etc), and when one gets the hammer, they all get the hammer.

People should be punished, not accounts.
