I've just met a player who admitted to account buying who also intentionally fed in my game for no apparent reason rather than to get some fun from their teammates' reactions. He/she also admitted to hiding behind a VPN so that they can continue inting games on different accounts eachtime one of them gets banned.
My question is what does Riot do to prevent this? And how do they do it?
AeroWaffle2 votesIt's pretty much impossible to prevent people from buying accounts, Riot can't control the flow of information. They can do their best to try and ban accounts that they believe to be bought/sold, but that only goes so far.
They can ban for intentional feeding, and if it makes you feel any better, that would mean that the person that bought the account would be out that amount of money each time.
Invemega1 votesI can't believe such scumbags exist. Their only purpose to ruin other people's fun... the bane of human existence.
I don't feel much better until I know they have lost complete access to this game, but that will never happen. Atleast not with the technology Riot is using.

Anonymity certainly reveals a scary part of society. That without the risk of being socially shunned by society, friends, and family, many people are complete and total assholes that care little about what their actions do to others.
Atleast not with the technology Riot is using.
With the technology anyone is using, account buying will exist, especially for a FTP game.
Invemega1 votesI meant restricting someone to playing their game no matter their location. That's what Riot or any FTP game's technology doesn't have. If they did have it, many of the people who I encountered in my game would be driven away from stuff like this, and it would be a benefit to the entire game industry.
But sadly that won't happen.
HairyDanglers1 votesWe'll, they start by perma banning you if you reply to said person. and repeat the process. thats about it.
Invemega1 votesWhat do you mean?
HairyDanglers1 votesI mean, they dont do anything about it, and if you reply to said trolls if they say anything to you, and you type anything back, all they need to do is report you and viola, u get perma banned for nothing. and they keep on doing what they are doing, major system flaw.
DrCyanide1 votesWhat's the VPN going to do, it's not like Riot IP bans people.
The biggest thing protecting him is that Riot doesn't want to accidently ban players for a bad game (or being bad in general). That's what makes intentional feeding bans so rare, it's hard for an automated system to know the difference.
Invemega1 votesThat guy didn't care about winning or playing the game after he told the team he was going to intentionally feed. Plus him feeding intentionally is not the only proof; he admitted to account buying and I have screenshots proving this, which I sent to Riot with a ticket.
My biggest concern is that players like that are allowed to play this game and avoid the consequences tremendously. Imagine them having a bank of hundreds of accounts and each time of them gets banned, they hop onto another one and continue int feeding until the stock is gone or their share of fun has depleted... It is the worst feeling to play with such a human being.
DrCyanide1 votesThis guy didn't care, but there are others who do care and are trying who might get tagged if the automated system is too strict. Riot errs on the side of not banning an innocent rather than trying to ban all the guilty in this manner.
It's only fun for them if people react. When people stop over reacting to these players they'll find it boring and stop on their own.
Invemega1 votesNo, it was not coincidental for this guy to be feeding and caring at the same time, as he clearly stated in the chat that he wanted to intentionally feed. When asked why he does this, he replies that it's for his own fun. So no, he wasn't trying to win, and he was intentionally feeding on purpose.
The worst part was that he admitted to doing it and also gave away other information to prove that he was int feeding, and that he wasn't just having a ban game.

Zezockary1 votesIP bans don't really do anything, even if you don't use a VPN. IP bans target the IP address, which changes if you unplug your router and plug it back in.
