I have a scripting friend

So my pal "Ben" (not his real name) Scripts in high Elo and maintains an 85% win rate in Diamond 2 - Masters. He constantly gets banned after about 6 - 10 games, but the problem is that he has over 1,000 accounts that he has access to, and gets more every day.

Why does Riot not ban his HWID or something???

I've seen him personally ruin famous streamer's games on various accounts. His accounts always get banned, but only after 6 - 10 games. It's a detected script he uses, so why doesn't Riot ban the accounts after just one game? I just don't understand why Riot does the things they do. (It's detected on injection so during the first game the account is flagged as a scripter)

HWID bans are not a viable solution because of the potential for collateral damage.

Public PCs or even just PCs shared by a household can end up banning more than just the target.

Besides, if your friend is willing to have over 1000 accounts ready to throw away then changing a single part of his computer after a dozen or so accounts is not likely to be out of his comfort zone.

Or just figuring out how to spoof HWIDs.

That aside, what are you actually wanting Riot to do?

You claim you want him banned but are clearly completely unwilling to help the process.

Just to clarify, he gets active accounts (by cracking them) that are in Diamond elo and scripts on them.

Send his info to riot and let him get sued so he stops.

Why do I feel like the downvotes are from people that only read the title and nothing else? :D People are lazy...

I totally respect your rationalization of both being his friend and your concern that Riot isnt banning him fast enough. I have no answers, but just wanted to say I totally understand and actually admire your sensibility about it, after reading your interaction with the virtuous lord red stone.
