Riot is a terrible company, because of how they treat their paying costumers

I used to play LOL and i can tell you it sucks. You will eventually grow out of it and in 3-5 years you won't look back. The biggest problem with LOL is, ironically, the company that makes it. The tribunal system, policing it's users, being really tough on punishments (you get suspended first time and permanently banned second time). Mind you all this on underage kids who are probably just hotheads not really deserving bans. Worst of all the game itself is a slow crawl ladder and often with very little benefits. All champions are pretty generic and quite out of balance. Even worse lately Riot had decided is smart to rework it's champions completely change things many times for the worse. Lastly since it has become a professional "e-sport" game , the community has become mean and competitive and game is no longer fun . Is pretty much a bunch of tryhards bitching at all the nubs. All in all is an experience best to avoid.

Riot is a great company because of how they treat their paying customers.

I currently play LoL and I can tell you it doesn't suck. You might lose interest in it, and that's okay. But you'll probably come back to play it again some day, because it's a fun game. The least problematic thing about the game is, thankfully, the company that makes it. the punishment system, policing its users, being fairly lax on punishments (you get a 10 game chat restriction first, then a 25 game chat restriction, then suspended for 2 weeks, followed by a permanent ban the fourth time). Mind you this is all on people that agree to the terms and conditions of the game every time it's patched, and if they can't play nice, are really deserving of the bans. Best of all, the game requires you to play a lot to climb the ladder, so once you get to a high rank, you can feel a real sense of accomplishment. You can feel like all that hard work paid off in the end, when you're sitting in the loading screen with your victorious skin and diamond frame. All the champions are pretty unique, but still fairly balanced. Even better, Riot has decided to go back and look at old champions that are a bit outdated and underplayed, and they spruce them up to modern standards, making them viable again. Lastly, since it has become a professional E-sport game, the community has gotten even more competitive, and the game continues to challenge you and provide endless hours of entertainment with plenty of opportunities to improve. It's pretty much a bunch of players trying their best, but occasionally you'll have some negative players. Fortunately, with the aforementioned punishment system, they'll often times get banned. And because of the sheer volume of players the game has, you almost never had to worry about running into the same problematic players again. All in all, it's something you should definitely experience.

Is this what what you do now OP?

Making like 3 threads to bash on Riot everyday?

Not defending or attacking anything, but what you're doing now really is very excessive.

You didn't grow out of it.

You were banned and immediately began spamming to boards, whining to try and get your account back.

Quite frankly, I am rather happy with how they treat their paying customers.

They ban the toxic players so the good or neutral members of the community don't have to deal with their idiocy.

^ To Dynikus's point, if you had really invested so much money into your account, maybe you should be a bit more careful about how you behave so that you don't get banned.

If it sucks why are you here caring about it?

I agree with you OP, but sadly a majority of us do not use the forums. The only players who do use the forums are people who are either bots or people who are trying to impress Riot for a future position in their company or for moderator privileges. Which is why you see such one sided comments. Go to other websites and you will instantly see the difference. A majority of players hate this company for good reason.

Paying players don't get special treatment, they are treated exactly the same as a player who never spends a dime. End of story. You are responsible for YOUR actions.

Keep disliking my post you f2p noobs, you just love it when people like me who invested 5x more money than you lose their account. It gives you a boner knowing that I lost my 2000 dollar account. Keep disliking you loser sociopaths, keep disliking, but that doesn't change the fact that the tribunal is broken and it takes sides with people who passively troll than those who openly speak out against the trolling. The tribunal is one sided and automated. And now I lost a monthly salary on this game because of being outspoken haha? If you hate free speech so much Riot than please remove chat altogether. I'm out. Done with this game.
