How Riot's Behavior Corrections Turned Me Into a Rager

Kefell·Feb 6, 2015·4 votes·636 views

My gamer tag is Kefell. Last season I got to Gold 2 and never had a chat restriction. This season a few days in I received a random 22 game chat restriction. (I mean, people report me when I'm on a losing team all the time, but that doesn't mean I'm bad...) I digress. So provisionals placed me in Silver 1, and now that I can't communicate with my team in game, I lose games because these guys don't know how to group and stuff. Now I'm a rager. /ragequit

I have played the game for a total of 4 years and never have I been chat restricted, banned or received any kind of punishment.

Do I sometimes rage in-game? Yes.
Have I actually afk'ed intentionally on a few occasion? Yes.
Have I performed so mediocre sometimes I actually got reports sent my way for being bad? Yeah.
Have I been banned at all? Nah.

The system is not perfect, true. But if you actually received a 22 game chat restriction you have to know that, it really isn't as random as you so claim it is.

And can't you just waste the chat ban in norms?

Yeah, this totally describes my experience as well. I'm playing since 2010 and I'm not a saint, there were good and bad times, there were trolls, I fed, I had internet issues, everything. But in the end - no punishments whatsoever since I started playing. You might be doing something to the extreme if you draw attention of restriction system to yourself.

Yeah well I just hate the idea of being "reformed" by it, when all it did was piss me off more. I wasn't being any worse than normal, well maybe I was angrier because people were bombing my provisionals for me.
