Riot doesn't actually care about the players

If they did, they would perma ban a lot more people.

Some offenses warrant it, with zero tolerance.

But if they cracked down too hard, they would have less players.

There is no reason they shouldn't other than that, or laziness or incompetence.

If the support wanders into my lane at top at 5 minutes, that players account should be done.

If someoen throws a fit because they dont like how someone is playing and says "I'm done" and sits at base, that players account, ALL OF THEM, should be done.

I dont see why my time should be wasted because Riot doesn't want to clearly explain the rules of conduct to all new players from here on out, and come down hard for people who want to bail on a match.

Roaming support is not a punishable offense.

I was sort of with you until:

"If the support wanders into my lane at top at 5 minutes, that players account should be done."

There's nothing wrong with this as long as they're intending to gank/ward/apply pressure. High elo supports roam all the time. They're not in the game to babysit the ADC bot lane, they're in the game to get the team ahead. Otherwise I agree, there is a lot of unacceptable behavior in League that some players seem to get away with.

Much like any company, their care for you hinders on your value. So yes, they care. You make them profit. Do they care about your personal life and your personal opinion and morality and perspective on life? No. As they shouldnt. They just need you for money, since this is capitalism after all. Thats the reason rules and punishments exist in the first place.

Sidenote: one of the things i hate the most when im crushing with urgot, is a random ass enemy support coming top with their jungler for a 3 man gank. They know I would 2v1 and get a double kill, but that god damn lux support showing up just ruins my day. So that point of yours sucks. Glad youre not in charge.

On the other hand, my own support showing up and doing nothing is a bummer. But to ban their account for it? Lmao. Youre unreasonable.

Should more accounts be punished faster? In an ideal world where Riot had a crystal ball, yes.

Should someone who AFKs be punished for having an emergency? No. Should someone be punished for not following your idea of meta? No.
