Email Bans?

People are just remaking accounts once they get banned. There must be ways to be able to permanently ban these players from playing again. The most obvious to me would be banning the emails? They could just remake the emails, but at least it'd be harder than just doing what they are doing now. I don't know too much about how computers work, but maybe there would be a way to be able to ban them permanently from the game?

I think you can have 1acc on 1 email (not sure).

For the last 2-3 years, you can have as many accounts as you wish linked to the same email. Even if it was 1 account per email like it has been for the first years of LoL, it takes a few seconds to create an email. Email blocking wont mitigate the issue enough.

IP ban is not even efficient because any VPN can change your IP, or reset your router, and it would be unfair if you live under the same roof as a toxic player but you are not toxic yourself.

ID ban requires too much human resources for tracking and watching streams.

The strongest way would be ID verification like in Korea with Social Security number but it can also be abused with buying account or using your grandma's ID. Also, some players from poorer countries with less developed identification archiving and tracking would be put at disadvantage.

Another angle is to destroy the botting business. Because i think lots of permabanned players dont have the courage to level up a brand new account by themselves. I think destroying the botting business will mechanically discourage chronic toxic players.

The permanent ban is the current final decision. I dont have numbers but the goal is to have a permabanned player uninstall the game. You have to be seriously addicted in an unhealthy way to keep creating accounts and being toxic again and again.

VPN's can get around ip bans, but they do increase latency. So it's not ideal to play League while using a VPN.

Every other day someone makes these kinds of topics and it will just never happen. Riot doesn't want to keep permabanned players away for good. Since they showed no signs of reforming in the past, they are probably gonna make a new account and come back and possibly spend money on skins after getting permabanned. Besides if everyone who got permabanned could no longer play euw would have 3 players left.
