Perma bans are quite interesting. You guys allow a mute function, a chat restriction, but nothing of such being a PERMA SILENCE, which I have seen common in a vast majority of games to deal with toxic behaviour. League of Legends course of action however, is simply a money grab, I've been around since about season 2. At first you guys didn't care about money, however now I know it's all you care about. You say you dont tolerate toxicity but when you ban people, you fully allow them to make a new account that has full chatting rights so it actually doesnt do anything, people just make new accounts and play on that one, and more than likely, FLAME there too, and you say oh well they will keep getting banned, yeah they will but it still is a constant cycle, the only reason you "tolerate" is because people more than likely spend money on the other account they make too, thus meaning you keep earning money, while pretending to solve the problem, with pings in the game now, smart pings at that, there is absolutely NO reason that you cannot just permanently silence someone and prevent their chatting abilities, which would not only solve the toxicity AND it would make the environment better.

The down side? People that have spent money dont have to re buy skins they had on their other account that they like hence why they bought it etc. I mean I want my account back obviously, or atleast, all the money i have spent for stuff in game to be transfered to my new account. You guys do anything to make more money though so why would you give me my account back? Oh and dont waste your time saying "well you were the one that broke the code." I understand, but there is an ALTERNATIVE way to deal with it, not only is it more efficient when it comes to doing what you SAY that you are trying to do so hard, ( stop the toxicity ) but that isn't gonna work with you for the simple reason that I have stated multiple times, you guys are money hungry. I get there's a lot of you but c'mon, make money from new content, you dont need to try and make money off banning people that will constantly buy into it, sure you say "well we dont force you to, its entirely their choice" which is true, but I mean, you and I both know that you KNOW they will.. Great game dont get me wrong, people in the beggining were great before the game went main stream; heck you would even send people a tiny amount of RP if they drew you a picture of a champ with your on take on it...

Agree or disagree fellow league community?

Disagree. Riot has stated many times that they DON'T want banned players returning -- they simply can't reliably stop them, as IP banning isn't really effective. It's also MUCH more reliable to make money by producing content that your high-paying customers want than to BAN them and *hope* that they keep playing and spending money -- many don't.

...but nothing of such being a PERMA SILENCE

Riot has experimented with this. It didn't really work to their satisfaction, which is why we don't have this feature.

It's almost like their is a Terms of Service/Terms of Agreement that you agree to and broke.

You don't need to make a single purchase to play this game.

EDIT: There is an alternative, don't buy things, and if you do choose to buy things, don't break their rules that you agreed to, its a community, they have to keep the community clean, if you have like 3 banned accounts with purchases on all of them, the issue is not with the purchases, Riot, or the account, the issue is with you, the way you act in-game and by breaking the rules. That person should learn their lesson of either stop making purchases and remain toxic and go on making an new account every month, or they can start following the rules they agree to when they signed that account up on the website.

First : riot does not care how much money u put in the game , that wont protect you if u flame or if you are toxic . Before the perma ban there is a 14 days ban (i guess) . if u did not learn your lesson there the result is perma ban .

I mean I want my account back obviously And you wont get your account back ^.^

You're missing the point already. The perma ban is not because chatting is the problem. The problem is that the player is habitually violating the agreement that they signed.

They are not following the terms that allow access to the software, so they do not have access to the software.
