Stop Wasting Your Time and Money on this Game! Get out while you still can....

Whats the point in giving this company ANY of my or your money on all the skins, bundles, chests, and special event garbage they've thrown down our throats and asked us to pay excruciating amounts of money on? League of Legends and Riot Games is a soul sucking ten headed beast that wants to consume you. Riot, your match making system is trash and it will put smurfing pieces of trash in my games so I can't even play this game and enjoy it, meanwhile those who you do pair me up are not only unprepared for the player that plays at a SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER LEVEL but then turn toxic themselves. You better believe that if I see something that's not right I'm going to call that person out and hold them accountable for their actions. Do I expect people to turn over a new leaf and stop their actions just because I say anything? No. But it's my right to say what's on my mind and tell them that I think they're human garbage. This game makes people toxic, and your company acts like it works so hard to keep people from being toxic with your reporting "system." You can't fix people's toxicity with this game because it's this game's very nature that makes people toxic. I've wasted hours and hours and HOURS trying to actually climb and all it takes is some idiot to get on his other throw-away account and make my game unplayable. Now all I can think about is all the games I've already lost because of unbalanced games and the time WASTED just TRYING to play and win and get better and it just makes me FRUSTRATED. Riot doesn't care about me or YOU. As long as you drop 20 or 30 dollars on their new bundles and event items and skins and tune into their dumb e-sports that they can make millions from it.. that's all that matters to them.

For those of you that happen to have an account and have spent very little to no money on anything for this game 1) good. don't give this company anymore money 2) what hasn't been wasted with money has been wasted with time. How many times have people gone into a ranked champion select and know right from the beginning people were going to be toxic or play poorly or you just have a bad feeling about the outcome of the game but YOU CAN'T LEAVE YOU'RE STUCK WITH IT. You don't wanna get banned but then you're stuck in a bad game for minimum 20 minutes and then it happens multiple times in a row. This game never seem to work out and before you know it several hours have passed and the only thing you have to show is "toxic" anger and frustration. You trick yourself into feeding this monster further by telling yourself "Okay, one more game, I gotta have a fun game I can win eventually, right?". All you wanted to do was win a couple of games and have fun. This game is not fun, you just trick yourself into thinking it's fun. Just stop playing this game before it's too late for you to realize!

You've ruined lives RIOT GAME(S). I know this has happened to more than just me. You've been given so much of my hard earned money towards this awful game only for it to all go to waste, you slap me in the face with your crap game, whacked up match making, and this toxic community and top it off with a ban. It's no wonder the community is as toxic as it is. You'd rather punish a person who calls out someone who CHEATS then actually punish the person who does the cheating.
(AND YES IF YOU NEED TO SMURF AND BOOST ACCOUNTS TO WIN GAMES THEN THAT'S CHEATING, I don't care that it's not on riot's report list, if you're going to play in a game where the skill gap between you and your teammates and enemies is significant, you're a hindrance to those who are actually trying to climb on their own. In the case of the game I had, how much more differently could that game have gone if it was someone of our skill level in your role instead of you?) Not just that though, this person was more than likely on this throw away account so he could play with his lower elo friend, essentially boosting this person if they weren't also a smurf too. So now I'm banned and cant play for two weeks, but that won't be long enough because I'm not going to play ever again. A bad night has been turned into an even worse one and it's clear that this company doesn't actually care about the people who play this game, all they care about is getting your dollars.

Don't waste your time or your money or life on this game. Riot Game(s) asked me in a survey just before banning me if I felt like I could freely speak my mind in games and I said ABSOLUTELY NOT. Your stupid triggered snowflake reporting bot got so easily OFFENDED by me calling out a CHEATER it deemed I was the one in the wrong.. immediately. Your robot doesn't know how to look at context, only words. I could bet that more people get banned for their "language" in chat than they do for feeding, boosting, aiding enemy teams, or going afk because your banning robot can only see words at face value they can't see what happens from a person's point of view. We know you don't take the time to look at anything yourself, it's just about impossible to report anything any other way except for the checklist at the end of the game and the robot looks at those reports. The people that smurf and cause people to lose games will continue to do what they do and meanwhile the every day average player just trying to get any enjoyment out of this crippling game will get banned when getting flustered that those mentioned before essentially sabotage their games. Even worse people will stand up to cheaters and report those who call them out because as long as the cheater won them the game, it doesn't matter what they're doing, and won't allow you to speak your mind because it's TOO OFFENSIVE FOR THESE SNOWFLAKES.

So Congratulations Riot, you've duped another fool out of A LOT of money on skins (EXPENSIVE ONES), chests, special event garbage, but ultimately that's what it is... all garbage. Don't let this company continue to dupe you either. If you're an average everyday player Riot doesn't care about you, and if you've spent money on getting the skins you thought would look really cool with the champions you thought were cool to play, you've thrown your money on the ground so the vacuum that is Riot can suck up all your money but will turn around and want more. Riot only cares about getting out new trash skins they want you to pay 15 dollars for and about the pro players they make even more money off of through e-sports as well as cater to when adjusting the meta. They've gotten millions sucked into this money grubbing machine (and as a machine its emotionless and couldn't care less what you have to think)

So Riot, since I'm no good for your game or your company anymore, and my time and my dollar have 0 value to you, you won't be getting any of it anymore. You're a bad relationship, you treat me like crap and tell me I'm banished for two weeks hoping that in two weeks I'll come crawling back thinking that I'll shape up and be a better person. Well guess what, you've already banned me once for two weeks and I didn't change one little bit because here we are again!!!! YOU SURE SHOWED ME!! YOU SURE TAUGHT ME A LESSON!!! Enough is enough with this game and this company. You've already told me that since I'm in a time out that I'm not going to reap the rewards of my efforts you might as well spit in my face and stomp your boot into all the time I've spent learning your game. I got your message loud and clear and I'm just going to leave. When this game isn't consuming your time and your state of mind you have the availability to do so much more with your life, so that's what I'm going to do now. I only regret spending as much as I did on your game and wasting so much of MY LIFE playing it. The first time I was banned, even though it was for only two weeks, I didn't get back to playing for a couple of months. When I wasn't playing I was more of a functioning person, I stopped being lazy and sitting on League of Legends all day and actually got other things accomplished. Unfortunately I got sucked back into Riots vacuum briefly when i started playing again, but now that I have two weeks without League, I'm just going to uninstall and leave this game to rot.

So this long rant was written in the frustration of being banned again and it won't matter one bit at the end of the day so if you actually took the time to read this I just hope that you can take something from my experience and opinion of this game. Get yourself out before it's too late for you. Stop giving this company money through skins and all the other garbage you spend your money on in the store and stop wasting your time with this game because that what it'll all amount to eventually.... waste. You don't get any sort of satisfaction from playing, and even if you do climb through the ranks ultimately you did all that hard work for internet brownie points. You get nothing tangible from playing League of Legends other than maybe cancer from all the toxic blobs of garbage this game turns people into.

People will probably talk a good amount of trash in response to this, such as the internet does, and that's okay with me because I'm leaving and never looking back. This post could also be immediately deleted much like my account was immediately deemed unworthy in the eyes of Riot, but just makes my point that they don't care how you feel or what it is you have to say, they got your money that's all that matters.

This is the transcript from Riot's triggered bot that is sending me away from this game forever. This was after a player admitted to being a diamond 4 smurf on a different account that he was using to duo with his buddy and he deserved to hear every thing I had to say after he held his advantage over his enemy team's head and mocked them.

  • get reported then go back to d ***
  • you prob trash in diamond
  • thats why you smurfing
  • have to play silver to make yourself feel better
  • youre duo is trash too then
  • your
  • maybe some people actually wanna climb with what little there is left of this season you ****
  • youre ruining the games for those actually trying to climb
  • gtfo ***
  • go back to diamond then ****tard
  • just report the **** out of this zed for smurfing
  • **** his smurf account

He deserved it, I didn't deserve a ban, this company is the worst and I wont be a part of this anymore. People will continue to ruin your games and there's nothing you can do or say so just walk away like me.

There's more deserving games to be played, more deserving hobbies to have, your time and your money is more valuable than what you give to Riot. I won't be the first person to have this experience with this game and I won't be the last so just GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TIME

Uninstall this game and make this company bankrupt, it doesn't deserve anything. If you chose to still have your soul sucked from this vampire that is League of Legends and use these forums then feel free to use this thread to write about any other time that this game has screwed you over. Maybe with enough testimony from different people then others will get sick of this game and stop playing.

Be sure to also use the poll if it applies to you, according to Riot, this is what is and isn't acceptable

Examples of reportable behavior (By Lord Darius) Being directly offensive to someone Using socially offensive commentary Purposefully losing the game Refusing to support your team Not participating in the match

Examples of acceptable behavior Making mistakes or poor judgement calls during the game Using strong but non-derogatory terms during the game Viable tactical disagreements Speaking a different language Trying an unusual but viable strategy

And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust.

Tip: don't be rude, even if you think they deserve it, because if you are rude you deserve everything you get back. Karma is a bitch, he will get his comeuppance someday in the form of dropping ranks, but you got yours in the form of a ban.

TL DR: I was rightly banned and pissed for it and want to denounce Riot even though once again, my ban was utterly deserved and my own fault.

I mean, this guys right on, RIOT's a terrible company. Their reasons for banning people are really terrible. Their reporting system is broken. I personally love when it pops up and shows you what you said wrong.... I read my chat log from today, and the only thing on it that wasn't communication that may be considered "bad language" was me saying WTF, then WTF just happened. and that was because i was actually confused at what happened. I had mobs on a tower and i attacked a jax undert ower, backed completely away from tower after it targeted me, it attacked a minion, i walked back into range and it targeted me again. i took 2 hits and then got killed, because of a glitch. Other than that nothing was said. Keep in mind when i died i was like 10-2 as ASHE and we had a YI who was also like 11-6, so we're way ahead with just that, and i was on their T2 mid tower at 15 minutes. But our top laner tried to FF at 15 minutes because he was mad and toxic. he was only 3-5 against that same jax so i dk how he saw a loss in that game but either way we all voted no, and he starts shit talking our team for no ff'ing, its like 10-35 at this point, we're the 35. I talked a bunch this game, mainly because my supp was a troll and i was having to carry him. But i didnt know that me telling him to get wards 15 minutes into the game was toxicity. But oh boy our top laner sure thought i was being toxic. And our cho was shit talking me most of the game after that so i muted him after about 10 minutes of it (between the 15-25 minute marks we were talking back and forth about what a supp is supposed to do, cuz he went pure ap cho) This whole game is ranked btw. So in the end game lobby after we win, i asked people to report cho for trash talk and not doing his role. and panth just goes "im reporting you bro" . A small talk goes down, and then after about 2 minutes of his report, "You have been permanently banned, please relog to see more info." I'm like UHM ARE YOU HIGH?! at this point. i read my entire chat log. not a damn thing said wrong. But because i had been chat banned in the past, like 2015 once and 2016 once their system is super sensitive. As if they dont even give ppl a chance to change. cuz see i know better what not to say anymore to avoid hurting little 12y/o bitches feelings. But apparently i can just say " HEY GUYS , I love you all and hope you have a great game :P " and if someone chooses to report that i still get banned.

The result of this? I'm going to create an intentional troll account where i trash talk and feed while pretending i either dk what im doing and keep trying. Or just fuck around and do w/e i want. Because this is what riot allows to happen, so if you cant beat them, join them. The more of this you do the more likely they are to either finally fall apart which they deserve or finally change something. Because this community in itself is not toxic, players can love each other and have fun. This company however is an absolute shit show. I mean just go to glassdoor and read reviews from employees, i dk how they're even operational. Working there is compared to a frat. Sexual harrassment all over the place and work place hazing. The fact that company isnt sued into the ground is mindblowing. It's literally ran by children. The game is fun which is why people come back, and the player base would be fine, if this game was ran by literally any other company. Toxicity can be dealt with in a healthy way without taking the game away from people who are actually trying to play. All they do is breed more toxicity and promote trolling. Seriously Riot sell your company to blizz/act and let them teach you how to run a business and let them clean up toxicity. There will always be somewhere toxicity in everything you do but the way RIOT handles things its actually unplayable for the vast majority of their player base. I say vast majority because with 60ish people on my friends list i can easily get 45 of those to get really ragey at the game at some point with no problem , and the other 15 dont play ranked. And if that ratio holds even similar throughout the community thats a huge problem.

It's actually not you're right to say whatever you want in league of legends, which is why you got banned. Literally nobody is forcing you to spend a dime on this free to play game, you willingly gave your money for extra content. The fact that you mentioned that the community was going to respond negatively to this is a sign that you know you screwed up with nobody else to blame but yourself. Hope your life improves so dramatically now that you're rightfully banned.

Also, actually it is his right. As long as riot games opperates in the USA (which they do), all of our basic rights and laws carry on to interactions with companies. I've had talks directly with riot about this during my first chat bans and it got me unbanned. They constantly opperate illegally. They cant infringe your speech, especially!!!!! if they also offer mute features and chat filters (which are on by default). I as a citizen can walk up to anyone and call them any racial slur i want, i can't go to jail for that. I would have to be preventing you for doing something, then it becomes discrimination. On the other hand if a company says something along those lines they can be fined and sued super hard for discrimination. Along those same lines a company that opperates in the same land those rights are held must also uphold those rights. If the DIDNT have to, they'd technically also be allowed to enslave their employees if they wanted. just saying. That would be like stepping onto their property is like entering a different country. And we all know thats not how that works.
