When Riot cant even perm ban someone, someone say there going to hack your account

this is why league is the most toxic community. When Riot wont even react and ban people like this

I don't think riot bans people for that, unless there is obvious scam/phishing attempt, because this is someone you accepted as friend.

Basically if someones adds you as friend and keep harassing you, you're free to block/unfriend that person.

I mean even if it was in game i really really don't see the issue, there is no hate speech or anything. Something you have to realize is that you're responsible for your account security, it's in the TOS, it means that it's up to you to secure your device, don't click on phishing link, don't install something strange and so on.

That's not how hate speech is defined.

And they can't do that many things.

I don't know how familiar you are with hacking and such, but basically he have a few ways to do that :

He hacks riot themselves, which is very unlikely ( today, passwords are never stocked in clear text, they are encrypted in such a way that you're never be able to know the real password even if you get the hash for it ).
Brute-forcing your password, for this he needs your username first, and i'm sure the client and website include protections against bruteforce, trust me there are a lot of people and robots trying to brute-force passwords in this world so nearly every website/application include protections against it. Brute-forcing requires a lot of time, if you have a secure enough password and riot uses such protections against it, it'll never happen.
He attempt phishing/hacking against you. This is the easiest way to get your password. It's fairly easy to do. But as i stated before, your account security is your problem, it's up to you to secure your computer, not click on phishing links and so on. This is not riot's problem.

Something I'll add is that you won't see real hackers that are trying to phish you telling that to you. You most likely talked to a kid that want you to be scared.
