As far as Permanent Bans go

There's no way to reform or get back into the good graces of Riot once permanently banned? The account is just blacklisted forever?

I find that extreme. Not defending my behavior at all, but a permanent account ban is the equivalent to what, execution?

I feel like there should be somewhere to turn if your account gets permabanned. And before anyone tries to be preachy and spell out the definition of "permanently banned" I'll go ahead and say that I am fully aware of what that means. I just disagree that there isn't any way to do something about it if a player genuinely wants to reform or get back on a positive path. I've got two other accounts with which to play, so it's not the biggest deal in the world to me. This is just the one that I had the most characters on.

Kind of sucks, yes, but I had it coming. I just don't understand why there's not a way to bring things back to a positive light.

You are given multiple warnings prior to a permanent ban. For most people, if they aren't acknowledging those warnings strong action is needed to get the message across.

You fuck up then you get fucked.

Its not hard for players to avoid being toxic and keep your accounts.

You can plee to riot support if you think there has been an error (sometimes they randomly ban if they think your account is bought when its not).

However if you got permabanned for being toxic, after being warned at least once, sorry but that's just brought upon yourself, no one is going to unlock your account if you've proven after the warning you won't change.

If being -less- toxic to you still means being toxic to everyone else, your reforms aren't good enough. You need to keep negativity out of chat. If you can't, then your account eventually gets banned.

You're insane, which means you keep repeating things and expect different results; like reforming or whatever. What you're struggling with is toxicity to this community and you need to be removed from us. Riot is not mean or unfair, they gave you many warnings. They banned you many times yet you still continued your behavior. Whats next : If you are caught using another account, they will delete that too.

We all as humans make mistakes and thats why sometimes in life, we get second chances. In this case, you blew it. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

(Edit: I think Riot will only ban other accounts if you are indefinitely banned i.e: Tyler1)
