Can I post this here? Received a 14 day ban on 9/10/14... just got another one today (10/30/14)

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. Posting here in addition to writing a ticket in hopes of this being seen sooner.

I was banned for 14 days back on 9/10/14 - I have no issues with this as I was toxic (mostly in ranked games) and I'm doing my best to act my age and focus only on my own game play now.

I get home just earlier from work and see an email from Riot indicating that I have been banned again for 14 days. I believe that this is in error. I've played around 50 games since my previous ban, and at most 5 of them were ranked (and I said nothing). The rest were all normals, ARAMS, and Hexakills with friends, and I barely typed a word (most communication was done on teamspeak).

There is absolutely no way that I could have received another 14 day ban for any actions between 9/10/14 and today. The only logic I can see in this ban is that it comes from backed up reports prior to my first ban, and if that's the case, doesn't the first 14 day ban absolve me of prior reports?

I know this means nothing, but what adds to my frustration is the fact that I've probably spent close to $1,000 over the course of LoL's history, and I spent another $30 on RP inbetween these two bans... feels like I'm just flushing money down the drain.

I'm hoping that a Riot employee (maybe Lyte) can shed some light on this issue, whether this is an error, or if the system is banning me again for things prior to the 9/10/14 ban.

Thanks for reading.

UPDATE: Riot support replied with the same automated response I received when I asked about the first ban back on 9/10/14. I replied a second time asking them yet again to see the chat logs. If history is any indication, I expect to see the logs 2 days before the ban is over.

Your best bet is to send in a Support ticket. Don't repost this. Keep it simple, to a flat request, perhaps something along the lines of, "I received a 2-week suspension today, 10/30/2014. I'd like to see the chat logs/evidence relating to this ban, please."

It may take them a little while to get back to you, but they should respond with either some of their evidence or an apology (if it's in error).

I don't think it's from things prior to your previous ban. The report system basically starts you over with a clean slate after any given ban, so those shouldn't have been able to add to a case against you. Additionally, if they had been, it almost certainly would have come up much quicker than 5 weeks after the end of your prior ban.

Either way, good luck!

I had the exact same thing happen to me! I'll admit I had a lot more angry games the week or so before the first ban, but in the games I've played since I've barely said anything to justify another ban. Last time I had a support ticket, they didn't respond until the 2 weeks were up. I really just want to discuss it with them, chat logs, etc, there's no way they wouldn't overturn it. Maybe a game or two in the past month where I raged at someone trolling/feeding in a ranked game, but really no games that I can think of. Can't believe they are making a ban to keep me from gold, nothing with my actual play..

It's completely unbelievable. I really don't say that much in games, and if they can read entire chat logs, I don't know how they would possibly arrive at the conclusion that I am toxic. Completely ridiculous to be banned again, especially so soon.

Are you still eligible for season rewards? Since you will be banned when the season ends?

Riot don't care, they are trash, everyone knows it.

If one has generated a record of misdeeds, that record stays for life and affects all aspects of your situation. Your punishment will always come again and again by auto generated robots behind closed doors.

Could you guys care to explain a bit more, I lost you :(

Do you think that the ban came because my account is still "warm" and any little thing is capable of causing a ban?

Because even so, I didn't do or say anything that would cause me to get banned, as I've been saying.

The first response from Riot was an automated message, I replied asking to see the chat logs. We'll see what happens.
