Toxic Players Ganged Up on Me & Got Me a 2-Week Ban - READ IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT
Many of you trust the system but it is very vulnerable to malicious reports because it is mostly automated. If you disagree with someone without resorting to insults or just if they don't like you, they can ruin your account. Sometimes just daring to defend yourself with an explanation is enough to get reported.
In the game I just played, 3 players ganged up on me with harassment and had the audacity to make false reports as well. I admit my play wasn't stellar but ultimately, that is not a cause for a report. I finished 3/8/3 and the last death was just messing around after the surrender vote went through. I also had a CS lead most of the game and my deaths were mostly a result of over-pushing an advantage (bad dives). Apart from those 2 initial deaths to my laner, I traded with him or I died to a Talon 1-shotting me. Our Ryze went 2-12 and Talon was roaming hard. I don't even think I was the biggest liability on the team.
**Here is the LINK TO THE CASE. Don't respond until you've read it. **I'll explain briefly. EDIT: The e-mail message isn't showing the case file anymore for unknown reasons (I'm still banned). I have all the text though quoted from support's response. I hope I won't need backups of this thread too.
The first time I die, the Udyr makes sure to express how bad I am and how disappointed he is in me. I don't remember exactly what he typed though and the chat logs are sadly incomplete in the suspension notice (something Riot should change imo since there's no context at all.).
I whittle down the Ez to 10% or less and again barely fail the dive. At this point, the Ryze joins in "should have banned AP Ez. idiot Kog." This is where I respond:
"i just pushed too hard and dived too much but yeah you just called me an idiot so enjoy you're the one witht he most deaths"
The Ryze continues to complain about everyone and especially how strong Talon (top) is. Although, he snares him after Talon dives him and never walks outside melee range.
I'm 0/2 at this point but Talon roams mid and insta-kills me. Now Udyr, gets even more mad and keeps spamming all chat "report Kog intentional feeding" etc. Alistar also joins in and uses me as a scapegoat "Kog is terrible" etc. he spams in all chat.
The Talon and Ezreal actually defend me and say that the only mistake I made was the 2 early dives and they shouldn't blame me for everything. At this point, the Udyr and Alistar aren't even sure what to claim to report me for. They waver between intentional feeding, unskilled and refusing to communicate. I ask how I've refused to communicate and he says that I pushed when he said I shouldn't. This first of all isn't even true, I just waveclear fast but wasn't at his turret or anything after I learned my lesson from the dives. Secondly, I didn't die to my laner without trading apart from the 2 failed dives early. Lastly, not following someone's instructions isn't the same as refusing to communicate. No one designated him team leader and me loyal subject. I am allowed to make my own decisions so this isn't a valid reason to report regardless.
Before this, I've only gotten a short chat restriction a few month ago. I didn't recall being toxic so I asked for chat logs. Riot eventually provided them and they weren't too bad. Riot's support even agreed but said they couldn't lift the restriction. You can find the chat logs here if you're interested. I reference them here to give a more complete picture since some are bound to argue that I must have been very toxic in the past. Keep in mind that this was a separate case and I never got another chat restriction after. I was just INSTANTLY banned after the game I mentioned in this post. I never had a chance to defend myself or have a human review it so that's why I created this thread.
and they seemed to be too afraid to admit that they did feed the other team, I'd say they're the ones who deserve the report.
