Can accounts that get permanent ban have a signal in their profile so we know?

Siegfriedx1··10 votes·890 views

I have some people in my list that never more logged in league. I wanted to know if they were banned or if someday they could come back again. I don't know them in real life and my only way to talk to them was through league so my dilemma is that I would hate to delete their name and lose contact if they are just legit not logging!

Also I don't see any use of having a permanent banned account on my friend list.

True. That will probably change with the new honor system tho.

they'd be going against so many privacy laws if they did that.

Please name these mysterious laws that prohibit the release of anonymous information which Riot Games legally has about an account that Riot Games owns.

Sarcasm right?

Please provide a reference/text from these mysterious laws you don't even name (hint: they don't exist).

In none of the jurisdictions that I am licensed to practice law in (granted all within the US) would it be in anyway illegal criminally nor a tort of any kind if permanent ban status was released to the general public. This game doesn't even use people's real names for goodness sake. Read your local newspaper and you can see reports about people who were arrested for an actual crime published, even if they never get convicted or the charges are dismissed.

That being said, rather than a notification, wouldn't it make sense for permabanned people to just be removed from everyone's friend list as there is no benefit to them remaining?

I like your idea, it'd be better for people who are permanently suspended to immediately have their friend's list cleared and to be removed from others' friends lists. The idea of a permanent ban is it's supposed to be Riot telling you not to come back. Thus, by leaving access to the friends lists (in client and mobile app) it encourages people to make a new account and come back. Not saying I agree that's what Riot should be doing (telling people not to come back), but it's what they've said their goal is.

dumb idea buddy you have too much against toxic players lul

what about those banned for something they had no part of? like the bans for false hacks? what do they have to start over their list just because they got perma'd?

I don't know if it is even possible, but if there are fringe cases where a perma is revoked, there'd be no way to get that name back on the list if they just removed them automatically.

Goes against naming and shaming.

Chermorg2 votes

Naming and shaming is a boards policy, not a Riot Games policy. The new honor system will already provide a sort of "name shame" for players who are dishonorable in games.

SparklingLama1 votes

nice, now people can flame those that may have been toxic. I like where this could go.

Chermorg1 votes

I don't know if you understand what the OP is asking - the OP is requesting a feature of a note in client on a player's profile that they are banned from the game.

I never understood why aren't permabanned accounts just straight up DELETED... You know, obviously, a permabanned account won't be functional any time soon, ever, so why not just delete them and free up resources? Just saying.

Sometimes the permaban can be because your account got compromised or if you're very lucky you can work it out with riot if you believe it was unjust (never heard of it working tho).

It works. I have recovered accounts from riot support. People just don't come in and post of the forums about it.

VasilisGreen1 votes

A copromised account can be recovered if you can prove it was compromised and that you didn't share the credentials with anyone. Also, they don't have to instantly delete them, but maybe give it a month or so. Btw, i see that it's way too easy to lose an account with just having your League's password stolen. Email changes shouldn't be allowed without having a link sent to your mail by Riot, requiring you to click it and confirm that you actualy own the email address. Like, if you have different passwords for each service, i'd have to obtain your Email's password too to steal your account, else you could recover it at any time with just a password reset request. Now, if i happen to find out someone's credentials in league, i can just log in through chrome and link it to a new email address with nothing stopping me from doing it, it's stupid.
