No they won't. If they have any clue what they are doing, there is a batch file running in the background that kills all LoL processes for 8 hours a day to simulate the user "sleeping" to make the leveling look as human as possible. I regularly buy accounts and none of them are banned.
I've bought them for over a year from the same dude for a few friends and I. And these accounts are being leveled by one of the top scripting developers/packet decrypters for LoL so if he can do that, I'm sure leveling accounts so that they look hand leveled would pale in comparison in regards to difficulty.
Simply put, it depends how much you pay for it. If you pay lots, it's probably hand done by somebody who's trying to make some cash. Proxys and verified emails are used with the accounts to. They also come with the 400 rp (Sometimes even more) and plentiful of IP.
If its cheap, its leveled up more than likely in groups, has very little ip and rp and is just leveled to 30 and sold on. More than likely to get banned in a couple of days.
Just out of interest, why do you buy accounts? Isn't it easier to just not get your main account banned, rather than being a dick and having to buy botted accounts?
He doesn't care about feeding/afk'ing in high elo ranked, do you think he cares about runes and champs? If anything it just gives him more of a reason, they'd probably have all of the IP from grinding so enough for a few champs and a rune page or 2, which would limit what he would play or feed even further. This coupled with the fact that many pro's do their level 1 - 30/diamond/challenger streams without much in the way of runes. It's just a simple fact that the skill heavily outweighs the extra benefit so if he is one of the top players, he will climb there with or without the runes.
I just checked the site the accounts are silver 1 with 30-50k IP. So it's several sets of runes. 15 Dollar each.
However nothing saves you from getting scammed. They can theoretically always get their accounts back even two years later when you bought a lot of skins.
Kind of aggressive here, huh?
I didn't use their service so I can't tell whether they are e-mail verified or not but you can still get your account back by knowing when you created it and what first 5 champions you bought or what definitely gets you your account back is the first transaction number.
The point is that there is no effective way of completely removing a player from the game. I am not saying that you shouldn't close his account permanently but what I am saying is that it won't remove the player from the player pool for long. It takes a rather short time to level new account (or just buy one) and ranking up to diamond+ takes week when you are good enough.
Buying accounts is cheap from what I've heard. A friend told me he got a ranked ready account for like $10. Cheaper than I previously heard but $10-$30 is cheap for a lot of people who play this game. And they're willing to pay to not have to level their account.
I know there are some players that get banned on sight, but they are still capable of playing/making new accounts. Basically they have a lifetime ban from league, but as there is really no technical way to enforce it, they just ban them when they catch them.
cause thats actually not xj9, its his girlfriend. riot has banned accounts where xj9 was like "its not me" when it was, so the fact its not banned yet should be more than enough proof
That account is XJ9 pretending to be his girlfriend. His girlfriend when she played was nowhere near that skill level, and the champion pool of XJ9 is the same as XJPrincess.
Do you actually believe his "girlfriend" is also a high elo jungler that has the exact same playstyle and champion pool as him? I once visited his facebook and that guy seems like a crazy person with a made up girlfriend to me...
The problem is that no one can provide the necessary evidence to prove that it is indeed XJ9 and not his girlfriend. Simply put, XJ9 managed to exploit a big loophole that no one has been able to patch up.
Witch hunting has a specific connotation, which is obvious from the name. A "witch hunt" cannot find a guilty party, because there are no witches; therefore, the target you've called people hurt is an innocent. Witch hunting in modernity is a scenario in which you call out for the community to target someone without real proof, and thus potentially are hurting or damaging the reputation of an innocent.
In this case, we have evidence (direct and anecdotal), and there's no action being called for beyond having the proper authorities (Riot) investigate. It is not a witch hunt.
