Lessons I've learned after a two week ban.

Indications·7/20/2015, 8:42:03 PM·5 votes·1,116 views

I have been banned after being trashed by premade 4s multiple times and they always end up mass reporting me. Punishment is intended for self reflection, and I surely have done that. This ban helped me ponder a lot about my future actions. Thus my actions following my ban will be the following:

  1. Bring friends to play normals. Numbers and majority is all that matters in this game. No matter how tough a person is, you and your three friends will always overcome the random person on your team in any way.

  2. Remember to give that one person a hard time. 4 people ganging up on one person, whether if it is trolling flaming or bashing him always always result in success. Anything he says can be countered 4times back. It will make you and your friends feel incredibly powerful while rendering him helpless.

  3. Always report that one person after the game, along with all of your friends. 4>1, you will get four reports on him while he only gets one on each of you.

  4. Evaluate your success. More than likely, he will retaliate by trying to defend himself against the four of you. If he says ANYTHING, it can be used against him in the chat logs as being toxic, since we already reported him four times. In the rare cases where he knows how the automated tribunal works, he will remain silent, and therefore making your four reports worthless.

  5. Repeat this procedure. There will be a much higher chance that the player will say something back negative rather than staying silent or muting the four of you. In the long term over many games you will have taken advantage of the system and succeeding in preying over helpless single players.

  6. Spread the news. As more people will be unjustly banned, they will learn this technique and spread it to their friends, which will continue in a chain reaction.

  7. League becomes increasingly toxic throughout, and Lyte will have banned so many players that they will all quit the game, do well in school, and pursue a phD in cognitive neuroscience like Lyte (as I am right now) and become amazing social designers for video games.

I truly do believe punishments will help reform player behavior, thank you for reforming my behavior for me.

Good luck and all the best to those single players in normal games!

Nice post, but you've made it abundantly clear that you don't know something very important;

Multiple reports from premades do not stack. You claim to be abused by this, but this is inherently not abusable. (edit: to clarify, it's not just that premade reports count as 1, it's that the number is always irrelevant. 1 valid report in a match is 1 red flag. 4 valid reports in a match is still 1 red flag)

If someone is harassing you, mute them and report them. That's all there is to it. Don't bother trying to justify toxicity just because someone else started it, as that is a child's excuse.

Their reports are not weighed any more than yours unless yours isn't legitimate and theirs is, or if you often make illegitimate reports. Someone who repeatedly reports for no reason has the weight of their reports diminished up to the point of it not doing anything at all.

Do you really expect people to read your post talking about your method of trolling to bait people into rage and then believe your ban was anything other than deserved?

Yeah the ban system is a joke, i am not even toxic i hardly ever talk lol and i get banned. theres probably not a point to me attempting to be a nice person, maybe ill be impulsive and say whats on my mind in chat since i get the same treatment.

Its pretty bad how horrible they are with this shit.

Hello Anonops05,

We have begun a new initiative to restrict players from the ranked queue. Ranked Restrictions have a higher threshold for punishment compared to chat restrictions and require more reports and evidence of toxicity. Please bear in mind that not all chat restricted players will receive a ranked restriction. We will not be removing or reducing any punishments placed on an account. While the Tribunal is in recess we are unable to provide specific chat logs or reform cards for these restrictions.

An extensive audit was conducted on your account, which analyzed games played for extreme instances of negative and toxic behavior. As a result, we have decided to place ranked and chat restrictions on your account to help you adjust your behavior in game.

While the ranked restriction is active, you will need to win a number of Normal Draft games. After you win the requisite number of Normal Draft games, your account will be reviewed again to see if there was an improvement in your behavior. The restriction on the ranked queue will continue if this is not the case.

Chat restricted accounts are required to play a specific number of matchmade games for it to decrease. Additional chat restrictions may be placed after your first round is complete if there is no visible improvement in behavior.

This is a good time to re-evaluate in game behavior because if it will not change in the future, harsher punishments will follow. These may include timed suspensions or removal of ranked rewards.

We have also announced that players who have high amounts of toxicity in their games will not receive their ranked rewards. At this time, we are not able to tell you if you qualify for the removal of rewards. Not every player with ranked restrictions was punished in this way; only the worst offenders were affected.

Yes, because it's more likely that you kept getting barrage after barrage of salty premade 4's who decided they wanted to bring you down for not being in their group of friends instead of, you know, you actually being a handful and people decided your behavior was ban-worthy.

No, of course not, that's impossible.
