@Riot: A please for a friend

Would love for a rioter to read and respond

I know no one cares, but I do.

My best friend was perma-banned back in May this year; I fully understand why they were banned and I agree that at the time they deserved it, however I want for at least one person to hear their story; even if nothing changes.

I have a friend whose life has been spiraling out of control for a multi-tude of reasons: His family has abandoned him, his girlfriend has abandoned him, and here a while ago he was in a bad car accident and barely survived. He has been suffering from depression and I have been there trying to help him as best I can, but there is only so much one person can do. League was the one thing my friend could look forward to each day however in a time of him being emotionally unstable he went off on his team mates, and it was bad. I do not condone the words he spoke and I have since lectured him many times on his behavior and have been with him these last 5 months and he is in a better place in his life now. He realizes that he made a huge mistake and that he was in the wrong and he wants to come back to the game and play with his friends but he also wants to become a better player and a positive part of the community. He wants to enjoy the game again and spread positive re-enforcement in his games. I understand that Riot perma bans players for a reason, however I also understand that they have the ability to make exceptions and have un-banned far more toxic players in the past. He has submitted a ticket and he was told there is nothing that would be done, but I beg of Riot please allow my friend 1 more chance to be the model summoner he wants to be. Even if he is chat banned or restricted, even if he has a list of a million criteria he must meet. Please give my friend one more chance.
