ranked banned in a normal game

So tell me how is it that I get ranked banned for 16 normal draft games when I don't even have enough champions eligible to even play ranked?

Point: To those who cannot comprehend so far what if you don't even or ever play ranked games? Such as only playing arams or dominion? Riot cannot just blindly give punishments.

Well, considering ranked bans are accompanied by chat restrictions, you really can't say that there is no punishment.

Riot recently made a post to the effect that in extreme cases someone could get a ranked restriction to keep them OUT OF RANKED because their behaviour is so bad but not quite bad enough for suspensions/etc.

because riot sucks? i personally think lyte should have to win 300 normal games to be able to make the rules on what gives players punishment. bet that dumbass wouldnt make anyone win normal games if he actually played more than 1 game a month

I get you think it's not a punishment to restrict someone who doesn't qualify for ranked (level, champion pool), but that status can, potentially, change between start and end up the punishment period.

I imagine the coding to exclude people who don't qualify for ranked is also far more complicated than it sounds, especially when qualifying status can change.

I see nothing wrong with being banned from ranked if you are behaving badly in normals. It doesn't even matter if you don't currently have enough champions or IP to fill out the roster requirement. Theoretically, you could purchase a champion bundle (not that you would, but it's an option) and suddenly have enough champions. With the restriction in place, you'd still be unable to ruin a ranked game until you played your penalty games in normal draft.

So let me get this straight. You're a dick. You dont have enough champs to even play ranked. Your punishment is to play games you already play to continue being a dick to normals?

How is that a punishment to you?

Should I make a support ticket and inform them that I am not even able to play ranked?

It would be interesting for lyte to come into this thread. You have a point, you already can not play rank (due to not having champs). Is it really a punishment and is it a punishment for those that never play ranked. Also by the time you unlock the champs and decide you are ready for rank are you going to remember the punishment.

I would of personally thought that the system would of passed out chat restrictions instead. Maybe its a glitch in the system, with all the new tech they have been rolling out. Ranked restrictions should only be passed out if you are playing ranked. Though i am for locking out ranked if you are on chat restrictions also.
