And?

If players come back and have good behavior on a new account, they're welcome to stay. So I think it's accurate to say that Riot values reformed players to the same extent that it values ANY well-behaved player.

If you're asking whether or not they value the reform itself? I imagine they do, but not in a "we're going to specifically reward it" way -- good behavior is the expected behavior, so while it's fantastic when a player reforms they aren't going to get any special treatment or exemptions for doing so.

The "reward" for reform is getting to keep your account and continuing to receive honor rewards, or having a new account that isn't punished (if that player was permanently banned).

I'm talking about someone who gets their main account permanently banned but then creates a new account and Cleary has reformed and is a sportsmanlike player. Riot still wont give back their main even if they have invested a lot of money and time into it?

Riot will not, no. The consequence of violating the rules is that the punishment is applied. If a permanent ban is earned, that ban is not reversed -- the chance for reform was given at least once (and usually 3+ times) prior to reaching that step. It isn't a sliding scale where there is always one last chance -- the last chance is the 14-day ban.

Too bad so sad. Should have thought twice before touching chat. There goes your money down the drain. Less players like you, the better the game. Good luck with your reform buddy.

Living up to the toxic OCE bronze yas main stereotype. Not sure if ironic or actually tyler1.

Nope.

The reformed gets to continue playing the game instead of getting permabanned again.

Maybe one day they will. but its too profitable to ban players atm.

Because banning someone's main account for breaking the rules, making them less likely to make purchases in the future = profitable, right? =/

They ban because people aren't reforming, not for profit reasons.

Or they will buy xp/ip boosts and buy their champions back. All depends on their internal data.

Almost no such thing. It's easy to change, but easier to change back. And boy, does humanity like the easy way.

I don't understand the question. Presumably they care about all their customers.
