League of Legends' Account Selling Black Market - Just How Bad Is It?

How bad is the League of Legends account selling problem?

Over the past 10 years, League of Legends has skyrocketed in success. What was once known as a Dota knockoff to now hosting over 180 million players worldwide, the hit MOBA has become a leader in the MMO universe.

Though the game has amassed an abundance of skins to purchase to give your champions a new look, there isn’t a trading system by design to allow one to trade said skins with friends. Everything is locked onto your account the moment you purchase it unless you decide to use one of your refund tokens. Additionally, the skin you purchased for 1350 Riot Points is permanently yours and only yours to keep. So when players decide to quit the game because of personal reasons and totally not because of toxic players they’ve encountered on the Rift, their accounts end up collecting dust in Riot Games’ servers.

Other players, although against Riot Games’ TOS, might opt to sell their accounts for some extra cash. But what if your old account with lots of skins and rare icons was suddenly listed on eBay… and it wasn’t you who listed it?
