Sorry but Riot doesn't do IP bans for two main reasons.

They're easy to get around with enough technical knowledge.
They can easily cause collateral damage to innocent players.

If you wish to disable your account then file a support ticket asking for it. That said, I would highly advise seeking some professional help if your urge to be toxic online is this strong.

An IP ban won't help you. You can get around an IP ban easily, or you could just move your problem to a different game. There is no action Riot can take that would actually help you here, they can only slow you down.

Sit down with some close friends and family and tell them what is going on. You have to open up to people who actually know you IRL. No one can fix this problem for you, but if you have people to stand at your side you can get your life back.

Try going to a therapist, this seems like a serious addiction. Ask a Friend or relative to set a strict limit to the WiFi or something along those lines. Meet up with someone. Talk about your problems. Go to a trusted therapist. Start a new hobby, soccer, martial arts, something active.

If you have an addiction, then you should seek medical assistance. Now that has been said, IP banning, whether for your purpose or others talked about on the boards only serves to punish the next player who may have your IP. IPs are rarely static enough to just block.

ip bans don't work for a number of reasons

i suggest you seek professional help instead

Man, take this as an opportunity to prove to yourself your ability to develop self-discipline. That will translate into the most value to you going forward into other areas of your life. If you feel that you need to quit, then quit and stick to your conviction by your own willpower.

By the way, IP bans will not work for most Americans at least because we have dynamic IP addresses that change periodically. The only way Riot could probably permanently IP ban you would be to ban everyone using your Internet Service Provider in your local area. Otherwise, your IP ban would likely be transferred to someone else within a month, which would be unfair to them and would unban you.

You guys are telling me that RIOT has no power on the people playing the game ?? They will ban our account but we will always be able to create new ones ? If someone is extremely toxic , their only solution is to ban the account ? what a fucking joke , it takes 1 min to create a new account or 5$ to have a lvl 30 ... what u tell me is that a VERY TOXIC , racist , homophobic etc etc person will always have the ability to comeback and be toxic to everyone ?? there must be a real solution ..... but i understand the fact that riot is a money hungry company that only cares about money , even if its mostly from addict people , they show me that , the way they removed Ip and now we get zero fucking money to buy things, so they force us to buy boost and RP for champs . ahh anyway thanks for the feedback guys , i will try to contact riot directly and see if they can do anything useful for me

You cant get IP banned in 2018. Time travel back to 1990.

WOW. Today I was not able to play any game mode in League of Legends and I went searching for Ip ban. Then I found this dude who has the same problem as I have. And how surprise his name was compared to mine ....
