Runeterra PSA: Stop Imprisoning people

I mean jail just seems to keep giving people f#@king super powers and sh!t. Sylas went to jail and now he's magical All for One,Jhin went to jail and now he's armed to the teeth as a contract killer,Urgot went to jail and he's a cyborg monster,what few Darkin remain are now horsemen of the apocalypse hell bent on destroying everything, and we all know how it is with Xerath and Renekton. "We caught you random cyborg wizard who used lightning powers to kill 200 people and no we're putting a petricite bullet in your head." Guys we gotta stop sending people to jail.

Edit: I got to thinking and forgot a few. Graves got imprisoned and now has a shotgun that can kill building,Xin Zhao is a f#@king machine,Alistar might be if his lore is made similar to his old,Atreus was technically a prisoner in his own body but can defeat Aatrox who killed a friggin god,Veigar was imprisoned by Mordekaiser and now has Dark and Celestial magic I believe,gotta wonder what Ionia was thinking putting Syndra in one that makes her relive her worst memories when she's a mage that feeds off of negative emotions plus it kept her young,and Senna congrats you got to meet your predecessors who taught you lost secrets. May add more if people remind me of stuff.

What the hell? Did I get hit by an Upvote bot or do people really agree with a mostly comedic rant about how ineffective imprisonment is on Runeterra? It's the views to Upvotes that's got me startled and by how quickly it happened.

much like irl, isn't it.. you don't learn how to be nice, but are given time to develop your ideas in a negative/toxic environment

Rengar got kciked out and got stronger. Ivern got turned into a tree and became friendly/peaceful. Warwick got experimented on and now he LOOKS like an animal.

Prison changes a man

Let’s see...Aurelian Sol isn’t stronger from prison but he now has a motive to put a giant crater in Runeterra where Targon stands.

Taric was exiled only to become a demigod.

Thresh was locked in a room, duty-bound to guard some evil objects and went psycho.

You forgot about the literal outlaw who was imprisoned.

Okay yeah voting bots are out of control if they can decide if a post can have hundreds of upvotes vs having a handful more than the dislikes. Over 60 votes are bots.

Nevermind the powers but like where else is character driving motive and/or conflict going to come from? It would be a pretty dull world without as such or something similar, and everyone just got along with each other.

lmao, I thought this post was about players holding others hostage in a game or in champ select forcing them to dodge

Runeterran jail doesn't always give prisoners superpowers. It's just that those are the only ones who turn into champions and whom we end up hearing about. For all we know, there have been millions of prisoners over the course of Runeterra's history, and these dozen or so are the only times it's backfired.

hmmm now that you mention it they do seem to repeat that storyline a lot

While I get what you are saying, I don't think its a good idea to just go around killing people. Feel like its ok to look for alternative solutions initially instead of immediately condemning people to death. Its a little conceited to think you can judge who lives and who dies, right?

Also, the land itself imprisoned Syndra, possibly for a reason, so the people of Ionia didn't really get a say in that and just rolled with it. "Hey we live with the land and the land just imprisoned this danger for us, I guess we protect the prison now...?"
