Riot said I'm negitive because I play off meta.

I got this statement from a riot support person:

"An example of your negative action is autolocking support Varus, leaving your lane partner alone to die while roaming aimlessly and take other's cs."

That statement contains a long list of things that i believe to all be false.

  1. Is it against the rules to play the same champion from game to game?
  2. Are there rules that states what position certain champions are allowed to be picked for?
  3. Is a rule that only certain positions are allowed to earn gold from creeps? What about earning gold from the jungle? is only the jungle position allowed to kill jungle camps?
  4. If a team member across the map dies is that really someone else's fault, or did they just play too recklessly?
  5. Is the support position required to support the bottom? Or is it allowable to do other things that help the team gather resources, or take objectives?
  6. why didn't Riot put a tutorial out for 6v6 twisted tree line? How do I know what lane to stand in and with what champ?

The root of the problem is i have to pick 1 of 5 predetermined positions to play in ranked. The support position best describes what a roamer does, It isn't my fault riot has made artificial queue bins i need to self assign myself into in order to play competitively. When I don't do what a dedicated bottom lane support does (the meta) my team could become sad. That is, apparently, negative behavior. Playing a strategy based game with a different strategy (and winning ~50%) is negative behavior.......

please discuss. Feel free to provide links with Riot postings listing where, who, and how to play.

Lol you are just Toxic and making the game unfun for everyone on your team and you know it. Stop acting like a victim.

Screenshots or it didn't happen, I seriously doubt a Rioter would say that exactly, but either way you deserve to get punished for trolling like that

Why would roam as a poke support without CC in the first place?

Missing the Point: The Post

This is basically like taking a shit in the urinal and saying that people are getting mad at you because you needed to go to the bathroom. You weren't punished because you played off meta picks, roamed, or anything like that, you were punished for being an ass and ruining the experience for others all with no regard to your own teammates.

If you want to make up your own rules then make a custom game. If you play ranked then you play by the rules the community has established. You're forcing your team to bend to you every single game. You might think it's fun, no one else does. You will be banned again, until the permaban if you dont stop.
