Original Post — Direct link

So I pay for league of legends accounts off ebay. Whether or not its a scam I get my accounts or I get my money back. I get banned often because I'm toxic and I was upset my account was banned when I paid so much money for it. So I pretty much get all champions and a new account for less than 100 and the process repeats but this isn't an advertisement for EBAY or anything my quesiton is.

Where are these people getting such a large amount of accounts to sell? Is it due to having a robot play the game for you I think that's known as "botting" i'm curious.

A large portion of sold accounts are accounts that have been compromised from their original owners and then sold. When you're buying an account, not only are you breaking the ToS (and we can identify if an account has changed hands), you're also likely buying an account off someone whose account was stolen from them.

the account won't get banned

I can't confirm or deny anything particular about how we ban bots, but the IFS will only give you a notification if your report was the thing that resulted in a ban. That's usually not going to be the case for botting for... complicated reasons.

That doesn't mean accounts don't get banned.
