Why so many permanent bans?

Looking at the new threads tab, there's so many people complaining lately about permanent bans. I don't think anyone should have their account permanently banned unless they have been caught cheating. Very unfair IMO, just suspend them for a month max in place of perma.

I'm not perma banned or anything, just feel bad for the people that are. Everyone has bad games, and I don't think you should punish people to the extent that you do. Please unban everyone you have labeled for a permanent ban recently, unless they have been caught scripting or cheating in some other way. You will bring back many players and I can almost guarantee the majority of them will all have much better attitudes to avoid 30 day suspensions in the future.

Thanks, Snipe.

People who did something to get a permanent ban deserved it. People who do those sorts of things do not deserve to enjoy the privilege of playing.

thing is, Riot doesn't want many of those toxics here in League, and neither do I.

I know this is going to sound like a jerk thing to say, but I don't feel bad for people who get permabanned.

A person doesn't have to cheat just to get perma'd. If a person is extremely toxic ingame (such as telling others to kill themselves, as a more common example I saw in Bronze and I see in Silver), and they are reported and banned as a result, I don't really feel any pity for that person. The person who got banned chose to be toxic and ruin someone else's day. I don't feel bad if they get their just desserts.

I like League, but I absolutely hate the toxic people in this community, and I am kind of glad that Riot is banning those toxic people. Though, it's thinly veiled, since those toxic people will just make new accounts and continue to be toxic, and with that, possibly scare away any potential new players from this game.

Yeah, no reason to ban, just give a permanent chat restriction instead.

I strongly agree with the original poster that the current system Riot is using is the wrong system to use.

Or add a fine or "bond" system. Take part in actions that would usually get your account perma banned? You account is now in "jail" until you pay the fine to get it out. $25 fee anyone? Revenue anyone? Players would pay it and stop being toxic. No company should ever just tell their customers "we don't want you"... which is exactly what a perma ban is doing.

Can we have a subscription based model that prevents you from getting your account banned for anything less than cheating via third party program? $10/month for account security. I feel as though players need something. I don't want our player base to dwindle because people can't argue with each other. It's been a part of every single online competitive game, ever.

I put no, because I'm tired of baby whiners whining about how them being toxic and getting banned, is totally unfair, even though it was THEIR fault. Seriously, Riot should just make a CATEGORY for banned accounts!

Punish them, sure. Don't ban their account. That's a lot of time wasted. I honestly feel that it should be illegal for any gaming company to ban players accounts due to anything but cheating. The world we live in today is full of trash talk. If you can't handle it, then you shouldn't be on the internet. The cry babies that report are worse than the people being toxic in my opinion.
