The game will eventually die out from permabans and no new players due to a flawed system.

The system Riot has in place is to permanently ban so-called "toxic" individuals, and then sticking them with new players as they level up their new account. Of course some of those new players are going to feed extremely hard, and when they are stuck with Yolo McSwaggins the permabanned Diamond 3 smurf, he is going to absolutely let them have it.

Permanently banning someone for saying the words "poopoo-head" or "report" has never been a viable option in ANY game, except for League of Legends apparently. What needs to change is these people need to be stuck with a permanent chat ban instead, and in special cases such as intentional trolling and feeding there needs to be denials from playing the game for a set period of days (not lifetime).

Both of these cases will force a "cooler heads prevail" scenario as the chat banned person can't flame their team verbally, and the intentional feeder will have more time denied than he spends playing the game. I'm not sure why Riot and the people who play this game fail to realize how bad the new player experience is. Maybe they haven't experienced it in a while, but as a new player it was extremely rough. I am actually decent at the game because I had a good friend who taught me a lot before I started, but I have seen people who are bad absolutely get drilled with insults.

1.) REMOVE THE PERMANENT BAN SYSTEM. 2.) INSTITUTE A PERMANENT CHAT BAN SYSTEM. 3.) GET HUMAN REVIEW FOR INTENTIONAL FEED AND TROLL CASES. 4.) HAVE A TEAM DO 2-3 MINUTE IN GAME TUTORIALS ON EACH CHAMPION FOR BASIC KNOWLEDGE TO NEW PLAYERS. (Yes I realize there are champion spotlights, but many new players do not.)

Stop letting new players fall by the way side and be stuck with the majority of toxic offenders.

You do realize that you've described the old system, which changed nothing and was far worse, right?

lol you realize that, from the whole community, barely anyone gets permabanned right? i bet every day join more new players than ppl get permabanned in a whole week. also 9/10 ppl (on this board) say and i quote "fuck this game i wasted so much money and time fuck you all i uninstall and never play again" so if 90% of the permabanneds dont make a new account we already have more normal smurfs than "permabanned-smurfs"

if they want to just feed good luck. feedbuster will kick your ass man. i only played 2 mobas (and about 15 mmorpgs) and i can tell that the rules are all very very similar. especially between lol and dota. its almost a copy pasta of the rules.

also the new player experience was ALWAYS horrible i started at the beginning of season 2 and had smurfs on my team who flamed me! and permabanns didnt exist in season 2 so yea... it has NOTHING to do with permabanns.

Why are you so mad?

Only 0.2% of the population gets a perma-ban. The system isn't hurting the game, it's just punishing the worst offenders of the rules. Permanent chat would only lead the toxic players to trolling: temporarily banning for trolling only delays the problem a few weeks, not attempt to fix it.

Really, new players should still be playing in bots until they're comfortable with playing the game as it is. Most of the time I see new players quit is because a veteran player told a level 7 player to play nothing but normals lol.

Or, just don't be an asshole and you never have to worry about the permanent ban system.

Here is my take on this...

Behave like a child, get treated like a child.

ive never heard of a perma banned diamond player, they don't tend to rage as hard or as much at there team as someone stuck in bronze.

So the entire play base will be perma banned??? Hmmmmm.. I am not sure that I go along with that theory...
