My friend dose nott have any of my login info, he was just over at my house just BTW if that has any reason the the sort
ModThe Djinn10 votesAccount sharing of any kind is a violation of the terms of use.
Imperial Pandaa3 votesIt is still technically account sharing. If it was just one game, unlikely though.
mtothe6thpower3 votesSharing an account for any reason is considered bannable, but since there's probably not a lot of big signs that the account is being shared, major location changes being a big one, it might not get picked up.
Also it doesn't matter what queue it's in.
Noor Sakata1 votesNo one can ban you , it was your pc after all and there is no prove that your friend used your account , It was your PC after all lol but generally , account sharing is strictly forbidden
Jo0o8 votesRiot can fingerprint your clicking patters. Same computer is NOT protection against being banned for account sharing.
Vreivai1 votesIf that were the case virtually no one would get away with scripting and boosting.
Jo0o1 votesFrom what I've seen, most get caught eventually.
It's true. It's not perfect.
nm10101 votesI hope this is sarcasm.
Jo0o4 votesWhy? It's not a tinfoil-hat theory, they're pretty open about it.
nm10103 votesIve never heard of them tracking clicking “patterns”. The most I’ve seen them claim is that they track clicks per second (which is probably just raw inputs per second) to catch scripting. It would be nice if they had some revolutionary “clicking analyst” to forensically match your patterns from game to game, but it sounds pretty far fetched.
videorfeak1 votesIt is bannable for anyone but the account creator/owner to play on their account. That being said if it is done on the same computer and not done frequently Riot most likely wont catch it. If your friend decides to play more often, have them get their own account.
Jo0o2 votesApparently the whole team reported him, which implies that the guy was openly telling folks that he was account sharing.

what if the account holder gave them permission to be on it for a couple of games to decide if they want to dedicate it or not.

There are no exceptions to the rule, Its just a matter of if it goes unnoticed or not by Riot which if it is only a few games in bots or normals most likely they wont find out.
Its like speeding, either you get caught or you don’t.

Are we humans or machines? the no exceptions rule make it appear so we are more robotic than we seem due to obcession of rules.
zPOOPz2 votesYou cannot give permission to use something that does not belong to you. Rito owns ALL accounts by laws. You do not have the right to give permission on behalf of Rito.

Its still very robotic though having arbitary rules based on individual accountability dont matter laws or not. Now if you say riot dont want a identity theft QQ case THAT i understand.
Jo0o1 votesIt would be robotic if the rule was arbitrary, but it isn't. Account sharing is unacceptable for several reasons: It distorts matchmaking, it obfuscates behavioral rules since the person being punished for misbehavior isn't the person breaking the rules, and it interferes with Riot's ability to sell RP.
zPOOPz2 votesHow is it arbitrary? The no account sharing rule is pretty black and white. There is NO exception on when you are able to share your account.

What i mean by arbitary is this: it dont matter if someone wants to try 1 or 2 unranked games with your and teams permission (after tutorial/practice tool and bots of course) to see if the game is worth it to them instead of wasting a possible username space. I feel theres exception if your team is premade and is ok with it if i have confidence that my friend wont feed while im coaching them i dont see anything wrong. Thats the best case as far as i can see i can present.
zPOOPz1 votesSee all the reason JoOo listed below.
This game is free-2-play. It takes about 2 minutes to create an account. The character length for a user name is very long and includes lower, upper, and numeric so the possible combination of username space is in the billions if not more. Plus Rito does purge old inactive accounts and release their usernames (except perma-banned ones)......every once in a blue moon.
I'm not sure what does pre-made has to do with account sharing policy. It is against the rules whether you feed or not. And on that note, just because your team is okay with someone feeding because he is playing someone else's account that is well above his level (whether a completely new player or someone not at that MMR, above or below) does not make it okay for the enemies. They queued up to play with people their MMR, not a feeding newbie not playing his own account.
Besides, it will open up a slew of "I'm not responsible for this toxicity. My friend was playing my account" support ticket Rito shouldn't need to spend time dealing with.

oh ok i got it now thx for the lengthy explanation.
AJStarhiker1 votesYes, it is technically bannable, and not just because boosting messes up matchmaking.
You are considered responsible for any actions on your account. I can't tell you how many times I've seen posts saying "My sibling/friend/roommate got my account banned!" Even if you think you can trust the other person, they lose nothing if they break the rules.
AhriTentacleToy1 votesIf your friend admitted in chat that he was using your account, or if you admitted it (You have right here and now) than you have no counter against punishment. Sorry.
Eedat1 votesHaving anyone play on your account under any circumstances is a bannable offense
ALittleBlueGuy691 votesIs it a violation of the TOS? Yes. Will Riot ever know if you don't type it in chat? Nope! To be clear, I do not endorse you breaking the TOS, etc, etc. don't break the rules (obligatory).
ı Sona ı1 votesIts an unprovable scenario assuming they are on your account on your computer on your ip address.
Syrile1 votesHonestly.. the debate on if it is okay baffles me. Clearly it is against the rules but trying to say things like "only for one game" or something to test it out.. The game is free? Just download it. Not a big deal to delete the game if you do not like it. No reason to risk someone getting banned over a free to play game.
