So because you were just recently put into an anger management class you think that you deserve a second chance to play despite consistently acting like a jerk? Sorry but no, just no. Riot gave you multiple chances to reform and you refused to do so, hence why you're now permabanned from the game. Also, your solutions don't stop the more determined and ignorant jerks from trolling and being jerk (the third one especially), and the more passionate trolls will just troll via their gameplay and not with chat. Aside from that, not everyone plays ranked (I know I don't), so that option is basically useless to those that don't participate in ranked play.
You complain about Riot not being willing to compromise with you, but the reality is that you're the one who is unwilling to compromise with them. Also, they did technically compromise with you at least 3 times, but you proved to them that it was to no avail, so the permaban is Riot telling you "We're not compromising with you any more since you refused to listen to reason". For the rest of your post, these passages from Ulanopo's Knowledge Base should answer and address them just fine:
Riot bans people because they make money off of forcing people to create new accounts and repurchase the skins.
Just stop. This is a really silly argument. I didnt pay for my account any more than you did and while I have bought a number of things, I didnt have to. Theres nothing relevant to competitive play that I couldnt have bought with IP.
Also, Riot actively discourages people from making new accounts.

Actually, if we're permabanning you we don't want your money or your time. Just find another game.

I deserve an opportunity to appeal.
Everyone has the opportunity to appeal their ban. Just click the support link on the upper right and make your case.
This forum is NOT for appeals. It is an opportunity for volunteers to explain why you were punished and give advice as to how you can avoid further bans.
Is there any way to remove my permaban?
Keep in mind that we dont have the power to remove your ban. Only Riot has that ability.
BANS THAT CANNOT BE LIFTED
- Behavioral
- Tampering with the game client
- DDOS
- Real-life harassment, threats or stalking
- Elo boosting
BANS THAT MIGHT BE LIFTED
- Inappropriate name
- Payment problems
If this is how its going to be, I dont want to play any more!

Yeah, its just that easy.
"Riot should reinstate the Level 20 Challenge."
For those of you that don't know, the Level 20 Challenge was a program where permabanned players could get their accounts back if they registered a new account with Riot and made it to level 20 without triggering a Tribunal case, regardless of the verdict.
It was a dismal failure. Some people didn't know they had to register the smurf account before they started. The main problem, however, was that most of them did not see a need to change their behavior and instead just tried to rush to 20 before the system caught up to them.
Here's Pendragon's comment on this (link (http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=26113998#post26113998)):
Why the challenge originally existed
When we were first instituting the suspension structure that we did today - much had to be done to understand how effective varying lengths of suspension were at influencing behavior. The challenge was offered to players who sounded very genuinely interested in changing their behavior and were asking for a second change to prove that they were capable of being a stand-up citizen. The assumption was that losing everything you've worked for would an impactful enough event that you would dramatically adjust.
Why the challenge was discontinued
Roughly 95% of players who completed the challenge were unsuccessful at playing to level 20 without extreme disruption to other players. What this means effectively is that many thousands of games have been ruined by players who were encouraged to continue to play to level 20 in attempt to regain their accounts.
_This is something that we feel pretty bad for - a program we made to attempt to help people we KNOW were toxic has ruined thousands of games. While a very small number of players managed to reform - the vast majority continued their toxic behavior.
_
Our current position is that if your account is permanently suspended - we no longer wish you to continue playing League of Legends, as you've been significantly disruptive to the experience of others.
In the case of the OP - he is one of the few that was able to successfully change his behavior which I commend, but that doesn't mean that he's entitled to something that we won't give anyone else.
Were we to reintroduce the challenge - it would mean many games would continue to be disruptive that don't have to be, with a miniscule rate of success. Is rewarding the the very low number of people who will reform worth the significant damage to games that will be done?
Finally - I'll end with a thought. What we're doing here is calling to reward someone - not for good behavior, but simply for a lack of bad behavior. Is that the precedent that we want to set? Has his lack of toxicity undone the significant damage he did on his previous account? Has he positively influenced the community enough to offset the previous misery introduced? What kind of message are we sending if we reward what should be expected of everyone.
