Got my friend's account permanently banned

53231386_DEL··2 votes·2,417 views

To jump right in, my friend let me play on his account and I managed to get him a 2 week suspension and then afterwards, despite my efforts, a permanent ban. My behavior did not improve enough in this time frame and I was still being toxic albeit to a lesser degree, as a result I was permanently banned. My friend is one of the nicest people I know, and I understand account sharing is against the rules however I don't feel that it's fair that he will never be allowed to play on that account again for the one mistake of allowing me to play on his account, after all he was simply trying to help out a friend, albeit a shitty one. Many professionals have also shared accounts back and forth and I feel it's not seen as such a big deal unless you are providing or receiving a boosting service. All I want is for my friend to be able to play his account again, as if I had never touched it. I am willing to accept a permanent ban on all 3 of my personal accounts which I have spent in excess of £1000 on. I am an extremely toxic player, I admit it 100%, I literally cannot control it, if I was sent to a North Korean reform camp I would still come out and still be just as toxic as before. Nothing can change me, I am among the top 0.006% of players toxic enough to receive a permanent ban and I understand that. I just want Riot to banish myself from league of legends forever because I clearly don't belong here, and to allow my friend a second chance.

tbh. thats very disrespectful what you did to him. at least ur apologetic. but this should be a serious lesson for him and you.

I'm sorry to hear that. Glad to hear you're sorry, but it's a bit late now. You could try sending a support ticket, but the very act of sharing accounts tis also against the rules. I hope for your friend that it will work out though.

With shitbags like you, OP, who needs enemies? In the army, we had a solution for dealing with buddy fuckers like you. Wall to wall counseling, with soap in a sock.

Your friend may be one of the nicest persons in the world, but he's pretty dumb for giving access of his property to someone who has proven undeserving of loyalty/friendship, that same someone who lacks integrity and respect. Like the kind of dumb that shows why we have warning labels on stuff.

  1. [Citation Needed]
  2. It's against their terms of use, simple as that.

Overall, the reason account sharing rules exist is for cases exactly like this. These rules are meant to protect players and ensure account integrity, and in this case both of you were breaking Riot's terms of service. Regardless of whether or not your friend deserved to get his account permanently banned through your behavior, he is just as guilty here due to the fact he allowed his account to be compromised.

Season 1 episode 5 of chasing the cup - Reginald playing on Bjergsen's account "People wondering why Bjergsen has been playing so bad lately, its cause I'm on his account." Nobody cared.

I know at least TheOddone, Maplestreet, Reginald, Bjergsen, Chauster ,Doublelift, Scarra and Aphromoo and probably many more professionals have shared accounts before. Nothing ever comes of it, hence my reasoning.

Your source here is from over six years ago, Riot has changed a lot since then. Here is a direct counter to your argument from far more recently. Feel free to let me know what you think.

That's not from 6 years ago lol? Bjergsen only joined TSM 2.5 years ago. Also that source you linked is relating to Riot KR and this is a direct quote from your article: Punishment in KR is worse for account sharing because you attach your Korean Social Security Number to the account. It's identity theft.”

As I said if it was seen as a big deal in Europe and America outside of ELO boosting then Riot would of done something about Reginald playing on Bjergsen's account after he openly broadcasted it to everyone on that show.

Fair point, I saw Season 1 and sort of blanked out for a second. Thanks for the catch!

It's still a breach of their terms of service regardless of location. It's worse in Korea, yes, but the fact remains that it's in violation of Riot's rules.

This is one of those life long lessons that remind people to think before they act cause others around you are affected. But hey, at least you didn't get your friend 15 years of hard labor for stealing something from a foreign Asian country...This is just a game, time to move on. (feel bad for your friend though, but I think he might have new friends soon)

I feel bad for him too, I'll probably just end up giving him my 3 accounts. I just wanted to get his own unbanned because of the sentimental value it brings to him. Either way I've known him for years and he's one of my best friends, he wouldn't stop being my friend because of this.

what a pointless thread account sharring and flaming to a permaban

and still asking to get "your friends" account unbanned.
