What do you think about this Ranked ban
Hello. my IGN is QaphsieI (the l is a lower case i), and I'm a S4 Gold stuck in bronze from seeding (not that I mind; some of my games have been thrown off by a new Baby and honestly I'm not the only mid elo player getting stuck from the seeding process.
Today I logged in to a 35 ranked game ban, and a 72 game chat ban.
Now, I used to in season 3 and 4 have a tendency to rage against bad plays. In season 3, many were made by me and tbh I was probably just "expecting" teammates to salvage situations they were close enough to step in for (unrealistic expectation for low elo). But I've never been one to consistently talk more than i play, never been one to rage early in game, because I know it exponentially affects game.
However, in Season 4 I reformed, and just blocked people on team when carrying myself to gold. I generally play a jungle udyr or support nami, but I play almost all roles but adc regularly.
In Season 5, I got seeded 4 losses and 1 win vs other competent golds/silvers seeding, and got placed BI I even manage to get silver promotion series, but somehow got stuck with 2 very BV teams which fed right out of the gate. I also hadn't got a chance to explore the changes to the jungle items or new jungle much before diving in (new jungle was debuted then), so I lost a few games on my own fault because I wasn't used to the new gold costs, loss of vision jungle items, or loss of feral flame, which worked much more dynamically than Devourer. In fact, it took me about 40 games readjusting builds/jungles before I was really winning jungle again. Also lost a few support games to changes in the support play field. I think early on I literally stacked 30 wins and maybe 65 losses. It was bad. However, since then I've figured out how to dominate again, in pretty much all roles. I've shored up my in game speak, and started bring the score closer to 50/50 than it was.Soon, I expected to carry it into positive territory.
However, on occasion, given the nature of bronze, I do observe someone or a duo, that are intentionally throwing a game, or do something like feed 0/7 in lane in first 5 minutes of game. They make ganking impossible, and often the champ they are feeding is a hard carry. I generally start off urging them to play careful and if they can't win, to farm cs and play defensive. As the game goes on, often they begin blaming me for not ganking them vs fed champs for them feeding even more, and I tell them what they did/are doing wrong. I generally limit myself from speaking, and generally, maybe say 5 things the entire game ESPECIALLY in a game with feeders. Most of what I have to say is in the after game. I will occasionally tell the other team, "report such a such" because "such a such" is doing this or that.
For example, about 5-6 days ago, First pick chose a Zac as jungler, so I got stuck playing support, and chose to Karma. The zac was "RockyMurder" (go check his LoL.) It seems this guy is an intentional troll. He chooses jungle, but doesn't grab a hunter's knife or even any jungle items the entire game. This game, he invaded their blue. The team and I managed to get a kill off the invade, but then Zac did nothing. And I mean he literally stood in the Blue bush for 10 minutes at level 1, waiting for the opposing team's jungle. After he finally got killed, he began to roam the lanes, lunging and running at the lane champs for opportunities to feed them. He'd buy AP items as he got them, but his damage for a 29+ minute game was 5900 to champs, 56 minions he stole from lanes (0 jungle cs), and he had 6.7kg. He trash talked the entire game. I ofc told the opposing team to report him. He retorted by telling the opposing team to report ME. Then ofc we lost, and I had alot to say in the post game. But in Bronze, the opposing team generally trolls any suggestion to report a feeder/assister, because that assister helped them win.
I'm usually the one who says: "Gj" "It's about time to start thinking about dragon." (in bronze, when i dont get jungle, I generally remind them, and find that most times, they don't seem to care, and we do lose it...) "Such a such you're behind on kills and CS. try to go farm and not engage for a bit." "Please Ward." (very very common that if I die, support isn't warding and neither are lanes, and help comes out of a bush near them, and my own wards are down)
That's a generic day for me.
In most games I play, I carry. Even when losing, I normally have less deaths, more damage, more cs, more gold, more objectives and more kills and usually more assists than my team does. Because I don't talk unless I get a player like this Zac, and even then, I don't say much because there's a slim chance I can carry the game 4v5. However, when i do say something, I notice that the person feeding is usually going to say near the end of the game, "Report Udyr for being extremely toxic," simply because I put them on the spot and told them to be careful or to try not to feed.
I don't understand how it's good practice to ranked ban players for such minor slights, if they could be called that. Football players don't get banned from games for trying to reinforce teamwork and observation of gaps in their formation. Neither do Baseball, basketball, or any other sport. There's a keen difference between being toxic, abusive player without sportsmanship, and being a commanding leader who attempts to guide.
I wouldn't be writing this if I was a poor player, who wasn't improving my behavior. I'm writing it because My progress is substantial, and my ability to play is at least competitive.
I also never got an email, have no idea why. I can only theorize.
