This is dumbfounding, but there’s also a lot of missing evidence so please, take it with a grain of salt. There’s a post on the forums right now asking that Riot “Free RickoniX,” a player who, according to the post, was recently banned for his leaves. How many leaves? Again, according to the post, more than 500.
From what little evidence can be gathered, it seems the account has been banned. There aren’t any games past November 23rd, and his ranked info has been deleted (I’m assuming. It also seems as though people know who he is, so this is either some highly forum troll work, or there’s some decent amount of truth to it.
Let’s leave the 500 number out of it for now, though. What’s an acceptable number of leaves? I’ve personally seen people over 100. So why aren’t they immediately banned. Even if 100 games is less than 5 percent of your games, as it would be in my case, why aren’t you immediately served at least a month long ban. I’d say it’s more likely than not you’ve ruined or negatively impacted a good 75 percent of those, in most cases more, which is just way too many. It would be easy to have some sort of ‘leave decay’ so that, should you stop raging or learn to manage your team or even just get a better internet connection, you could get back to playing the game without immediate threat of a ban.
To think that someone might be out there with several hundred leaves yet still playing the game is baffling.
