[IDEA to Improve the League of Legends Community!] Bring back the "Reformation Program"!

After a long and friendly chat with a Riot Supporter about Account and Riot Point Recovery on restricted Accounts, The Riot Supporter recommended me to come here to share about my idea to bring back the "lovely reform program" (or whatever its called haha) which deems a player's reformation and gives a second chance.

The Riot Supporter believes that this feature may come back soon due to the fall of battle royale games (thank god lol), the slowly rising playerbase that's coming from the fortnite quitters, and very slightly improve the community due to the players who have been penalized can share stories and morals about how wrong it is to be toxic, express tilt, and to understand that trying your best in a game brings the best experience for everyone.

I'm not sure If it is against the rules to shoutout names of a person on the Support Team (I think I can't), but I'm pretty sure that he/she is looking for this post!

So, Why is this beneficial??

Although I heard that the first "reform program" was canceled because no one was able to express their reformation. The Support Rioter told me that there were multiple occasions of players willing to prove themselves as a lovely human being and their "toxicness in-game" was a complete mistake and accidental. I, myself, have been permabanned and ooooh, I was filled with regret and sadness to those I have been toxic towards.

Many players after their first bans make a secondary account and never try their best on their second accounts. Bringing back this "reform program" could "possibly" prevent the players who take Ranked games very casually and potentially throw a game. If a person were to have their account back, I'm PRETTY sure that the majority would be VERY careful about their next actions because they don't wanna say "bye bye" to all their skins haha.

As a widely requested feature, that's been asked repeatedly to Riot Support, I think it would be great to give it a go one more time! What harm can it do? None! Instead, people can enjoy their long-lost accounts and remember and reconsider their actions from the spooky past :)

If this post gets a great response and maybe if my Riot Supporter sees this and promotes this, I would LOVE to be the first one on the waiting list to prove my reformation!! I would definately try my best to do everything in my power to prove myself reformed like the great Tyler1! As of now, I'll just pray and hope soooo much for this post to resurrect my account :)

If you got some spare time, come take a look at my other board post like 15 mins after my ban : https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/A3Y0pB7W-just-got-permabanned-for-the-first-time-and-i-deeply-regret-it I sounded sooo desperate in it and I kinda find it a little amusing and saddened by the fact that I was kinda negative to the lovely players/teammates who were there to climb with me. Enjoy!

EDIT: I would GREAAAATLY appreciate it if this post gets a lot of support and commends :) Please express yourself in the comments and possibly your stories! On a side note, all the money we spent? Yea, the money we all worked hard to earn, would be all back into our hands!! On top of that, we get our mindsets to significantly improve and never tilt or flame one another in a match! What wrong thing can possible happen if we re-implement this feature? None! [ except my heart kinda feeling sad :( ]

  1. Many players after a permanent ban do not make a second account.

  2. Many players who were unbanned after a permanent ban either trolled or returned to toxicity and were repubished.

Why would anything be different this time?

Haha, why bother? I despise the direction they're going in, they don't take player feedback seriously, and they've designed the game (intentionally or not) in a way that protects trolling but smites the player who says anything remotely negative to said troll.

This is one of many smurfs. If anything happens, I could always buy a level 30 for a few bucks and never buy any skins (why would I when my account can be threatened for [permanent] suspension at any time? This accomplishes two things:

  • an extremely affordable loophole to enjoy the game without giving Riot a cent
  • a message, or a peaceful protest if you will. Happened to my buddy the other night actually. Every single game in that log he received was one he was carrying Extremely hard. At best, I'd agree he should've received chat restrictions or better yet, just simply add any negative words or phrases he uses to a global dictionary. We both used to spend hundreds of dollars into this game. Now not only did they lose customers, he's more likely to pick up that $2 smurf and troll the shit out of every other game should somebody utter a word to him.

Don't bend over to Riot Lyte. He may think he's some behavioral psychiatrist but he isn't. Hell, if the law were any looser, I'd love to sue his ass for impersonating an actual health professional. Reform? Please. If you got permabanned, you believed every word you said and more. You're not sorry, and unless you told other players to harm themselves lethally or made real-life threats, I doubt anything you said is worth banning you over.
