Just got reported!

I was just reported for being "too happy".

Last year I was a very toxic player. I was chat restricted multiple times and even banned a couple times. This year I decided I would look at the game in a new light. Considering I am not that great at the game... I realized I should just keep it a game. I'm not competing at the LCS level.

I have played a few games and been very joyful. Enjoying the game in a new light and trying to help others see it that way as well. Looking at the good hard fought battles even when we lose!

However... in those few games I have received negative feedback. Even getting reported. It's just upsetting... I'm sure I have another ban or chat restriction coming my way since I am sure most of it is automated. I just don't know how to approach the game anymore.

Either way I will carry over this new light of joyful gaming in which ever other game I choose to play... and thanks Riot for helping me to see the light.

If you were making light hearted jokes, you can easily be mistaken for being a sarcastic and toxic asshole depending on what you say. Keep in mind that people can't make inferences from your tone of voice or facial expression over a text medium.

Nope, they were not jokes... They were positive encouragements. Things like "we got this" and when we started to come back saying, "I knew we could do it!"

There was nothing backhanded... or that could be taken backhanded in any of my statements.

Everything will be fine. Many reports are without any serious base but post match warnings are automated. Keep up good attitude.

Maybe just don't say anything then and be content with your own happiness.

If you feel like you get unjustly banned contact riot. Often times they will sort it out.

Sounds like you had an asshole on your team. If you get punished over this, submit a ticket. Riot will look into it, overturn it and punish the people who did the false reports.

Don't even stop it man, myself, like you, am/was a very toxic player. I'm working on it too.

Positive encourage is going to be the primary reason that your teammates make the sickest plays that you WANT to see in the game. Destroying their self esteem is going to be the primary reason that your teammates DON'T make those amazing plays.

If you want to win a game, you must put having a positive attitude BEFORE your desire to win. If you win collaterally as a team while maintaining a positive attitude, it will mean more to you than it will if you win a game by being an asshole to your teammates. And if you lose, whatever. Everyone loses games, nobody wins every match.

Seems like it's getting better. Maybe there is an attitude MMR and mine was just low? Seems like I am getting a more positive response now! I am really enjoying the game much more now that I am a positive player. It's quite odd to be honest... I feel like one of those poster kids... with out the poster! LOL

My new years resolution has not only made a difference in League of Legends... but in every other game I play as well. And if I would have never been banned in LoL... I would still be on a rampage of terror.

So thank you, Riot. Thanks your for actually pushing people to become positive players... The encouragement and benefits you gain from being positive is far better than being a negative player!

Hopefully you continue to improve on changing attitudes. I will do my best to help with that cause!

is this proof we can be reported for anything now?

Being reported does not mean you will be banned. If Rito concluded the report was warranted, they will take action. If the report was not warranted, it will be ignored.
