Purchasing a League of Legends account is against all Riot Games policies and poses a danger to the user who wishes to acquire one. Historically, this was a very expensive practice, reserved for collectors who wanted to get their hands on some of the skins that had disappeared from the store. However, those days when account purchases were done without much malice are over and have given way to a whole market where toxic players and cheaters have circumvented the rules with impunity .
Here's how much a League of Legends account costs
After just a minute of searching, we can find an endless number of websites where we can buy a League of Legends account to our liking. In this case, what interests us is that he is at level 30 to be able to play directly in ranked. Obviously this is what cheaters want, so they can start playing seconds after being caught by Riot Games. The result is surprising, because we find offers at surprisingly low prices .
The account market is a very gray space and the price is going to largely depend on what we are willing to risk. It's not like we can go to Riot Games or anywhere else and complain if we get ripped off. However, the prices for a level 30 profile without too many champions and skins range from 3.9 to 10 euros . In general, the higher prices come from safer sites. At the highest prices, there are even services that offer a "lifetime ban guarantee" as long as the reason is an account transfer.
Assuming that it takes Riot Games four to five weeks to detect the most toxic League of Legends cheaters and players who need to use such services, the annual cost is not prohibitive, amounting at worst to around 130 euros . Clearly many players couldn't afford it, but it's like a fine. Depending on one's income, it could be a large amount or a ridiculously small amount that doesn't matter. In fact, if we can quickly find a reliable and cheaper seller, we could reduce the amount considerably.
From there, League of Legends experiences several issues and all of them are suffered by the players. Riot Games doesn't have as much leeway as you might imagine to act on account sales and this kind of service affects all online games , the only difference being that this one is more popular. However, despite this warning or the fact that it is not common practice, this allows more bots to level up in ARAM or Summoner's Rift. In addition, of course, to allowing cheaters and toxic players to constantly return to the game.
One of the few possible solutions would be to link accounts to people and create a system of smurfs linked to each player's profile. This is something that is done in some countries, but has never been implemented in the West. However, this would be an extremely unpopular measure that would constitute a flagrant invasion of privacy.
Finally, we remind you once again that the purchase of an account is strictly prohibited by Riot Games . We can therefore only advise against this kind of practice.
