We really need IP bans to be the norm for perm bans.

So recently I decided to create an alternate account to be able to play with a couple friends who haven't leveled up yet.

First few games, not so bad. Matched with new players still trying to learn the game, as well as various returning/restarting players. It changed drastically by the time I had hit level 5 or 6.

By then, those of us who have played before are already separated from the "truly new" players - This is clearly noticed by simply checking the farm of players in matches, noticing that they don't walk into towers, etc - They have basic game knowledge. The problem is that a large portion of them are players who have been banned however many times and are currently making their #th account after being banned yet again.

Low level games(I'm up to 12? 13?) are an absolute cesspool of the most toxic players I've ever seen. EVERY game has people being toxic to the point that I get instant feedback from the reports. Most of the games have people going AFK within the first 2-5 minutes, flaming teammates excessively, spending 15 mins going B over and over from the fountain(Looking at you jungle Raka), people hard feeding because they don't like what someone else picked(Looking at you Sona who didn't like the jungle Raka.).

It's a horrible experience. EVERY game is extremely toxic. They don't care, they've been banned over and over and just keep creating new accounts. They then jump in and ruin even more games with these new accounts. I'm used to seeing some toxicity, that's just how the community is - But these people go above and beyond.

As a result, I truly feel it's time to start implementing IP bans, or at least IP Chat mutes(Though I mute toxic players to begin with, it doesn't help when they're hard inting or teleporting to base over and over for 15 minutes.) A player being perm banned shouldn't be able to just spend 45 seconds creating a new account to continue ruining games. Sure, plenty of people would get around it(Could use MAC bans to avoid that, but whatever), but the majority won't successfully do so.

It's absolutely disgusting how bad the mid level experience is. Most of them literally brag about how many times they've been banned. Hell, many of them their names literally say they've been banned, or aren't reformed, or have extremely toxic language involved in them. It's to the point where I'm having to report 2-3 players from each team after EVERY single game.

Something really needs to be done - IP bans aren't a perfect solution, but they would certainly help. These players make it truly not enjoyable to level up another account. A permanent ban should be permanent. It shouldn't only last the 45 seconds it takes for them to create another account.
