I've been perma-banned on my Touchmeimfluffy account. Now plenty of people have been perma-banned for being toxic, as was I, but I don't believe a perma-ban is the solution at all. If people are being toxic through chat then a permanent mute should be the pnushiment since you can communicate everything through pings alone. Now that doesn't bother me at all since in a test a guy played 50 games and in ALL 50 games there was at least one toxic player. Honestly a chat box restriction of permanent mute is better than a permanent ban for people who didn't intentionally feed. Now with that said I also spent $400+ on my account in skins, and yes I'm going to say that players who spend a lot is money should be shown more lineancy than f2p players since that money is spent with the knowledge they are supporting a game they like to play and enjoy. Perms-banning people who fund you doesn't seem like such a good idea. Now I would be bummed if I got a perma-mute but I could still play with friends and enjoy the game and still spend money. I believe it's been a little over a year since I got banned and have head quite a bit into the old system of redemption. I am playing again now but I have basically disabled my chat and only play roughly once a week. If I could some how prove myself I would not be toxic and would take a perma-mute in chat I would still play more and spend more money. Just something to think about Riot.

Riot tried this, people just didn't reform and found other ways to be toxic in game.

No not at all, you are held to the same rules as anybody else, you spend that money after agreeing to riots terms which state

"If your account is terminated, you’ll no longer have access to it, including any of the associated data or content (e.g., champions, skins, Riot Points, etc.). You’ll not be entitled to any refunds and we’ll have no liability to you. We also reserve the right to terminate any other accounts you may have created, as well as your access to any other Riot Services (also without any refunds or liability to you). You understand and agree that using the Riot Services comes with the risk that your account may be terminated or suspended and that, whenever you use the Riot Services, you’ll bear this risk in mind and always conduct yourself appropriately."

While it's great you are playing without ruining or people's game from the data riot collected when they offered permanent chat restrictions/mute the majority of people can not do so.

Riot should take the extra lengths for people who spend an insane amount of money on their game. That's funding them. That's paying their bills and keeping their game alive. Permanent chat mute should absolutely come before a permanent ban. A permanent ban should be the very last thing in their mind and mentioned.

Not at all, just because you spend money on something does not mean you have a right to act how you want to. If somebody walked into a store and brought something {effectively funding them and paying their bills keeping their store alive} then kicked off throwing hate at the staff they would be removed from the store and in some stores even banned from said store. While not exactly the same the premise is the same, a person that buys from riot knows the rules as much as somebody that doesn't if that person then breaks the rules they are and absolutely should be held to the same punishments.

Again they already tried this and it did not work, perma ban is the last thing in their mind which is why there is a punishment ladder. A person gets 3 warnings unless they skip a tier 2 chat restrictions and a 14 day ban which also warns you that's your final warning, if a person does not and can not change their behavior during that time another warning isn't going to change that.

A permanent chat mute should come first. That way you keep the people who want to play and spend money in your game. The people who throw games after the chat mute and have spent nothing on their account should be banned afterwards since those are just people trolling for the hell of it. I make $8 an hour and work 40hours a week and my rent is $720 so spending $400+ on a game is a huge deal and to say Riot should take that away without taking extra lengths before perma ban is simply ignorance my friend. Go work that hard and spend all that time and then it be gone and see how you feel about it. You would want extra measures taken for you as well. That's just simply a poor business model and quite frankly evidence a company doesn't care about his funding player base.
