Higher ELO Players Creating ALT Accounts To Specifically Troll

xPhantomDancerX··2 votes·395 views

I was playing a ranked match, and before the match started I op.gg a chogath top, and saw that most of his matches were as a ADC. I asked him about it, and he said that he's actually a gold 3 player, and that when you take off the 1 at the end of his username that's his real account. I asked him what he was doing making an alt to play at bronze level, and he said he was just going to have some fun trolling bronzies. Then 3 minutes in, he proceeds to die 3 times, and then claims he's going to start trolling now, and that it doesn't matter if RIOT bans this alt account because he would still have his main. At then end of the match, his score is 3 / 14 / 6, and we lost the match because of that.

I op.gg the account that he claimed that is his main, and saw that indeed, it is gold 3, and mains most of the champs on his alt account. So my question is, can his main account get banned for doing something like this?

ALT: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=cjl1agent1 CLAIMS TO BE HIS MAIN: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=cjl1agent

since the riot system favors people who troll, why not? you get to aggravate people and when they respond, you can report them and get them in trouble - while you walk away scot free. double nirvana. that's the kind of behavior this system is nurturing

Having multiple accounts is not against the rules. The matchmaking system is good enough to eventually put the alternate accounts at their appropriate skill level.

No, having multiple accounts were never against the rules. But, what I'm asking is, is creating alternative accounts to specifically troll on them, means that your main account is safe, no matter what you do? Because this is what this player is doing here.

And it ruins the game for other players completely. It is griefing, which is against the rules.

Technically by the tos if his alt gets banned riot can ban his main. Will they though? Probably not.

If someone is trolling, that account will be punished. Riot does not in normal circumstances transfer punishments between accounts - regardless of severity. Exceptions are cases of extreme and prolonged abuse in League, after which a player may be deemed "ban on sight" i.e. any account they create will be instantly banned.

But generally, punishments are applied to accounts, not a person.

You have to REALLY be toxic in order for this to happen as well..

Tyler1 and xj9 are the only 2 that come to mind.

But if he's deliberately trolling, the alt will never get to his skill level. It will stay where he's trolling.
