Instantly banned for playing Smite support Nunu for no reason (Not trolling)

OG StatiCk·Dec 17, 2019·1 votes·868 views

So I guess Riot is still banning players for taking Smite on a support, even though Riot claims to not enforce a meta, they are banning accounts for not playing what is meta.

Stop playing mages and juggernauts bot lane. You will be banned. Stop playing ADC's mid or top. You will be banned. Stop playing anything that is not a Bruiser/Tank/Fighter top, Mage or assassin mid and ADC and enchanter support bot lane or you will be banned.

Apparently Riot is trying to make sure that the only way to play League is the way they say. So don't play anything that isn't meta or Riot will most likely ban you.

Well, ... your two most recent games with Nunu, you were 4/19/7 and 2/15/9

... Nunu's kit alone makes him pretty difficult to kill, and to die that many times in general is .... wow ..

But on top of that, you were going for full AP. ... I could see full AP Nunu being "squishier" than tank Nunu, .. but being as behind as you must have been, .. there is no way that would be any good.

I would imagine you must have seen that for yourself and someone that isn't inting / trolling would change their strategy at some point. ..

So I'm going to call bullsh*t on the notion that Riot banned you for picking Smite Support Nunu. In fact, I don't even that that would be a bad pick. He would have A LOT of objective control for his team, and Nunu isn't the worst support either.

The stats make it look like you were inting, and you were probably being toxic as well.

I was never once toxic. In fact, the only thing I said to my team was to stay positive. And as bullshit as you might think that is, that's all I say. "Stay positive". The suspension card says nothing about toxic chat or anything. Just the one single game where I did poorly on Nunu.

And not everyone is Challenger and knows how to play Nunu more perfectly than Faker like you do apparently.

Then it was because you were intentionally feeding.

I oddly feel like there is more to this story

Riot has been banning support players since 2016 for taking smite on their supports in order to enforce the meta and prevent supports from doing anything creative.

Ah yea, the famous smite singed you regularly abandoned his ADC to 1v2 lane as he took camps

Yea, he deserved that, big difference between roaming and just jungling

OG StatiCkDec 17, 20191 votes

So you're saying he deserved a ban for not playing the meta. Nowhere does it say that support needs to sit in lane with the ADC.

Also, the guy who was consistently higher rated than you and won more games with smite support Singed and you think he deserved a ban. This is the absolutely crazy white-knighting that happens in this community. If you were any more delusional, you'd be committed.

Yea, driving your teammates insane because you're doing some crazy thing that you probably lost countless games on trying to make work

Like the teemo "support" who afks in mid/top lane to maybe get a single kill but give the enemy laners a 2 level lead

Big difference between playing the meta and doing something that may win but drives the rest of your team insane

I've played Nunu support, it works fine because of his base CC and healing, taking smite just gives the enemy lane an advantage since they'll have ignite and you'll have nothing

So by your logic, if it "drives the team insane" then it's bannable.

This is great news so I can finally have a reason to get every Yasuo and Akali player permabanned.

Jimmy RustlesDec 17, 20191 votes

That's not my logic, that's riots logic

If you play something so out of left field that your entire team are basically trolled by it, you are griefing

are they ghost/cleanse Yasuos/Akali support/Jungle? Yea that's pretty griefy then

Riot does not instant ban unless you were

Cheating
So toxic/racist in chat even Trump would be offended.
Cheating

I was not banned for chat logs. I was banned according to Riot over a single game where I played smite support Nunu.

You are completely wrong about why Riot bans players. Nobody knows why Riot bans certain people because Riot is not consistent about the people they do and don't ban.

Cind3rkickDec 17, 20191 votes

I would bet my 3rd teemo that something isnt being said here.

Riot doesnt ban you for simply playing something.

OG StatiCkDec 17, 20191 votes

They do and they have in the past. Support players since 2016 have been targeted for immediate bans after single games playing a support with smite.

Hell, Riot banned Foggedftw, a streamer, for "intentional feeding" after going 0-1 on Tryndamere. Riot doesn't ban you for playing something? Yeah, that's because Riot's not the one that bans you. A robot is and if this extremely poorly programmed robot determines that you deserve a ban, whether you've done anything wrong or not, well, there's nothing you can do to prevent it.

The only reason Fogged got his account back was because he's literally a 2k+ viewer League streamer. Most of us aren't that lucky.
