I just got permabanned for flaming an intentional feeder. Is there anything I can do about this?

Here's the story. I get into a game and everything is going fine (well not really, we were kind of getting our asses kicked). So anyways, about 7 minutes into the game, when I'm level 4, our midlaner, Zyra, comes down to bot lane (I'm ADC). I ask her to leave, and she doesn't. She eventually gets hooked (after being in my lane for about 2 minutes) and dies in a 1v4. She then yells at me for not backing her up, and says she's gonna keep coming bot lane now. I ask her to leave about a hundred times, and all she says is "this is what you get for not helping". Every time I ask her to leave, she says "You should have helped". She dies about 3 more times, and this gets me really mad because it is a ranked game and I hate losing because of trolls. Then I find out that our jungler, Rek'Sai, is Zyra's duo partner. They both start berating me and calling me names, and also flame other players on the team as well (saying things like "look at Darius build" when all he had was double doran's and ninja tabi). I try and defend Darius and point out that Zyra's build isn't much better (Righteous Glory rush on mid Zyra), and I get flamed by Rek'Sai and Zyra. Rek'Sai says "it's because she gave up on this game along time ago." By this point I've already cursed them out a bunch and they both threaten to report me, which they did. I then find out that I got permanently banned from the game for being toxic. Now, I was toxic, there is no denying that and I will freely admit it. However, it is only because I was cursing out trolls in a ranked game. In hindsight, sure, maybe I should have just muted them and reported them after. But like I said, this was a ranked game and I was annoyed that I was gonna lose the game because I was getting trolled. I let my emotions get the better of me and started flaming them. Yes, I was toxic, but I was only cursing these guys out because they were intentionally throwing the game and trying to get me pissed off, and that is something I don't think I should get banned for. Is there anything I can do to possibly overturn the ban? Like I said, I was being toxic, but I was only being toxic because I was being trolled in a ranked game.

Yeah, but even then, Riot has rarely ever permabanned someone for their first offense unless it was an EXTREMELY bad game. Also, someone else being toxic isn't an excuse for your behavior. It doesn't really matter what the cause is, whoever joins in on the toxicity will be punished. This has always been Riot's policy.

Anyway, if you don't think you should have been permabanned, you can send in a ticket to Riot support. It might take them a while to get back to you, but it's probably your best bet. Just make sure that once you send in your initial ticket that you wait to get a response, because every time you bump your ticket (or whatever it is, idk) you get sent to the back of the queue and you'll have to wait even longer for a response.

But it doesn't matter what they said. You are not allowed to be toxic in any situation.

Further proof that riots new system is not working as intended. Although, I found a major flaw in the system that protects you. Just report them back for anything, verbal abuse is the easiest thing.

Riot is a harsh, cold company, only money makes them look the other way. You're toxic and that's it, Riot DOES NOT give a shit if somebody forced your hand. Their policy is "Shut the fuck up or get banned" not really good for getting people to be positive.

Obviously this isn't a one time offense because you got a permaban. If someone gets permabanned, then 99.99% of the time they deserved it.

Mute is your friend. In this case, it seems like mute-mute was your wannabe friend.

That's rough. Permanantly banned.

I mean I have been suspended about 3 times. Have you ever been suspended before? History of toxicity?

submit a player support ticket

Well, I sent in a support ticket. What I got was an automated response saying "hey we have a new system". There was no mention of how the other person was intentionally feeding. I don't even think the person who emailed me back read what I said, it looks like they just saw I was talking about the new report system and they just went and copy pasted a response from Riot's email response MS Word Document

This is the email I sent:

Hello,

Last night I was playing in a ranked game in which two players, who were also a duo, began trolling. One of them starts to intentionally feed and keeps following me around the map because they said I didn't help them earlier in the game. Now, this got me really mad because it was a ranked game and I was going to lose because people were intentionally feeding and throwing the game. So, I let my emotions get the better of me and I flamed them. Keep in mind I am flaming people who are intentionally feeding in ranked game, not anybody else. In hindsight, I should have muted them and accepted the loss, but as they say hindsight is 20/20 and it was a ranked game so I was very mad that I was being trolled. One of the people who were griefing even mentioned that they were happy that the tribunal was updated so I would probably be banned. I didn't believe them, but lo and behold find out my account is permanently banned after the match. I've never even had so much as a chat restriction before or a warning about being toxic. I was wondering if anything can be done about this situation, as I think it is unfair that people who intentionally feed are still playing the game, but the guy who curses out people that are intentionally feeding is permanently banned. I could understand being temporarily suspended or given warning, but to be permanently banned for cursing out people trolling and ruining the game for everyone else is not something I think I should be banned for.

Thank You

This is the response I got

Hi X,

As a new initiative to reduce the amount of toxicity within League of Legends, we’ve recently begun to audit players’ accounts for extreme cases of toxic behavior. Every account punished by this system was personally reviewed by someone at Riot to ensure accuracy.

After having reviewed your account, the decision to issue a permanent suspension had to be made due to the extreme cases of toxicity we found. This type of toxic behavior has no place in League of Legends, and if a player is particularly egregious, we are forced to make the decision to suspend their account altogether.

Like, it's clear the guy didn't read what I said and was like "oh, it's about being banned, better go get the document about bans and copy paste it". He even says "every account is personally reviewed" WHEN IT'S AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM NOW

I'll correct the topic for you:

"I just got permabanned for flaming an intentional feeder [and being a dick a bunch of previous times that I don't want to mention so it looks like I'm the victim here]. Is there anything I can do about [my personality problem with respect to working nicely with others]?"

There you go.
