Would you report someone who admits to account sharing in-game?

Got out of a game recently with someone who admitted to using their partner's account because his main account got banned for 14 days (he didn't mention why). We won the game and he wasn't toxic or anything, was actually a pretty chill guy and honestly carried as well.

What would you do in this situation? Like I know the right thing to do is to report them for literally admitting that they were using an account that didn't belong to them, but on the other hand he wasn't being toxic or anything and I'd feel bad for his partner if he got their account banned as well... Then again his main WAS banned for 14 days so it may end up that he gets his partner's account banned anyway?

Do ya'll go out of your way to report those to admit to doing things that clearly aren't allowed? I'm still thinking of submitting a support ticket cause I took screenshot proof and everything but... Idk. Would that be kinda douchey of me to do?

Nah I am only bothered by things that DIRECTLY affect me.

I wouldn't.

Also its possible the guy isn't typically toxic but had a bad game or two where he used some trigger words that caused him to get banned.

I wouldn't, especially if he played well. If in your own words the guy was pretty chill and carried, why would you want to inconvenience him?

#YES™

even if he's lying, it's still worth investigating

If the player was really given a 14-day suspension, I think you should report them. Otherwise, they've missed the whole point of the suspension

I would send a friend request and tell him in private not to admit account sharing since that's his partner's property and it may very well be possible that he had just thrown away hundreds of dollars worth of skins/champions which did not belong to him. Some people are so naive it actually fucking hurts.

i would probably report it, a couple sharing an account or accounts doesn't really matter to me because it doesn't affect anything in the game or make other players experience worse or better, nor does it get them better or worse progression if they are similar in skill level.

But he willingly admitted to ban evasion, which is definitely not okay. He was 14 day banned and likely for toxic chatting because its rare to get 14 day banned for other reasons, and he circumvented this ban by playing on his spouses account. That's basically saying fuck off to the system and riot.

Depends on why they're account sharing.

Boosting or selling account? Fuck you, get banned.

Any other reason, like just playing on a friend's account for fun? I really don't give a shit.

Eh, It's not like they did anything wrong to you and it's not like they're doing it out of boosting or any other bad intentions. Now, if the person was like "well idc if we lose, this is just a friend's acc" then i'd report without a second thought.

Idk why I double posted thats my bad.

Anyways thanks for the replies guys. I didnt report the guy since if he hadn't said anything I wouldnt have even known cause he acted so normal, but maybe next time depending on the circumstance (being toxic, flaming, inting, etc) I might.
