Permanent bans and perma ban reform

LeCHRON James··2 votes·1,003 views

Hello, I am a player that has received bans in the past, and just today a permanent ban......I understand Riot wants to keep the rift a respectful place which is of the utmost importance. The way some people like myself i agree, play can truly make a game un enjoyable. This isn't an appeal of my actions, yet being sorry to have come this far I would just like to say that LoL is in fact one of my favorite games and playing for about 5 years now I have what you would say is a competitive raging problem. Im sure there are many like myself, and think that in order to prevent a permanent ban from a game so many people love to play, other measures should be taken into account. Quite possibly a vote to permanently mute a player from a specific game? or a permanent ban on chat with all players other than players on the friends list. I just have invested a lot of time(not to mention money RP) on my account that was banned today. I am truly sorry, and want to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Maybe some kind of reform could happen? I know my bad moments outweigh the good ones, but man the good games were good. Thank you RIot.

sincerely Lechron James - RIP perma-banned

Unfortunately, there likely won't ever be any other options as long as the behavior of toxic players continues to demonstrate the need for such 'final' punishments.

You get to either start a new account and grind EVERYTHING again, or quit the game. Neither of these are particularly exciting choices, but they're all you have now.

It is the last option of other options. You were given 4.chances. You blew it.

With the current policies they have, its either start a new account or leave the game.

Who knows if the policies would change in the future.

Yes. That's why they are "permanent". They are the point of no return. If they were not, then they would not be _permanent _ bans. Unless a player's behavior was dramatically bad in one game, typically banned players have been given at least three chances to reform yet have not. I'm not sure what a fourth chance would do.

And also, in most cases is just a particular account that's banned. Thus, the player themselves has the chance to play again and reform. Just no longer has the chance to do so under that previous account.

that being said. is it really right for us as a community and riot as well to treat toxic players like a disease. and not like human beings?

Banning a person's account from a video game who have repeatedly and constantly broken rules that have been explained to them multiple times is a far cry from treating them like a disease. Players are given multiple chances to reform yet most only plead for that chance once they've ran out of them. At some point, the onus and responsibility has to be on the toxic player to change. Losing an account is that punishment. People (for the most part) are still allowed to play the game after losing an account, so even then, it's not like that's the end all be all.

Uh, no. Deal with it. Entirely your fault you got permabanned. Thus, entirely your fault you "wasted" (in your opinion) time/money. Dismissed.
