I think you should look into the rise in banning of accounts

If you didnt notice if you search the play behaviour and moderation board a lot of people are reporting that their accounts are being hacked and played on and i really think you should look into it because its not a coincedence and some of these people are paying customers who spent money and are being hacked without account sharing and people are going on thier accouns and getting it banned for no reason.Its pretty unfair instead of giving automated responses like a lazy company you should actually read what people are saying and try to find a solution because its losing you a lot of customers and it is pretty unfair that after spending all the money and time you lose your account for something not on your own accord.

There is a difference between being "hacked", and being irresponsible with your account information and general internet security practices; account compromise is almost never the result of any sort of "hacking". If you want players to not lose their accounts due to compromise I recommend you share with them the Protecting Your Account article instead of placing blame on Riot.

Also, Riot has 2-Factor Authorization coming.

Furthermore, if your email is verified they can't change your password without access to your email.

You dont understand what I mean people are sick when it comes to hacking if you believe all that stuff what google tells you about security is true something is wrong with you because sme hacker can go pass some of those stuff like nothing we are in a generation where if you didnt notice can find anything on google and youtube.

I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to say here. You need to format your writing so that it's more easily comprehensible. This isn't a verbal exchange, you can't just dictate into the chat box.

I can tell you that people following videos on youtube are script kiddies, not actual hackers, and theres no video on youtube of "how to steal someone's league account"

The only way your account can get stolen without you entering information somewhere is from SQL injection, and anyone doing that to Riot A) has no control over what account info they get and B) steals accounts at a very slow rate compared to the number of accounts.

Nobody "hacked" any of these accounts, they purchased the stolen ones off people who extract account information through other means. And if your email is verified, these people can't change your password to actually finalize stealing the account, unless they also have access to your email which is very unlikely.

I can also say from experience that if you know your account is compromised, Riot will help you deal with it. Posting here about hacked accounts does nothing. The fact that so many people are ignorant of the correct procedure hints to me that they may be ignorant of other things regarding account security since they obviously don't take the time to learn about what they're doing.

If it were "so easy" for someone to steal an account, why does it only happen to something like 0.001% of accounts? Remember that 200 people could post here every day and that would still be an infinitesimally small fraction of the actual accounts in game.

Even if hackers were stealing 10,000 accounts a day, it would take them EIGHT YEARS to steal every account in the game.

The actual rate of account compromise in league isn't any more than account compromise for other online services.

Furthermore, considering the nature of this board, I would guess that a portion of people never got hacked and think they can lie their way out of their ban.
