** This post was originally deleted by Riot on their "Help and Support" Forum **

Let's start this off here, I'm a fairly new player to League, so I am just getting to know most of the community. Ironically, a week before this my chat was restricted due to an admitted player who said "me and all my friends are in a party, so we'll all report you" due to me telling them how not to feed, etc. So that being said, I just played two games in a row with players that both ignored pings/warnings and all sorts of verbal guides to not feed the opposing team. After they start complaining that their team is too hard to kill, I let them know because they were fed off of several kills of my teammates, they throw a fit. And of course, they do the exact opposite of what we say, then begin to retort saying I'm a fat f*ck and your mom is stupid, and "throw myself in a well".

Needless to say, this is the second of two games with inexperienced, rude and unhelpful teammates that even when they were losing, I was trying to give them pointers on how not to lose. They then threaten to go AFK because they didn't like me for some reason. I will admit that after 10 team fights on only ONE of the games, I said that our team was garbage, simply because our team wasn't functioning at all late game, save our support. Then after they threatened again to go AFK, I told them that I would report them.

Losing the game, I reported the ADC, since I noticed towards the end she was sitting in various parts of the map AFK, and decided that she wasn't trying to help our team. I find out that they were all friends, and reported me, and now my account is suspended?

I find it highly ironic that Riot Games is trying to "eliminate" toxic players, when all they're doing is enabling players like the ones that were saying to go "f*ck" your mom" and "throw yourself in a well", and suspending the ones who were actually trying to help them. I was immediately suspended after the game, which means it had to have been automatic after the game. You guys need to fix your suspension system, or whoever's running it, because it's very much not working. If anybody and his group of friends doesn't like somebody, then they can just go and report one person they don't like, and they get suspended.

Sounds less of a disciplinary system, and more like mob rule. There should be some sort of appeal or overturn, because whoever is in control of these suspensions isn't paying attention.

** Again, as a final note to the Admins, if this seems out of line to post in this section, then not quite sure where else to put this. It seems to be a problem with the disciplinary action system on the actual game, and I would be befuddled if Riot didn't want some honest feedback from their players to help better their game and the gaming community

Two things.

1: It doesn't matter how your teammates are behaving. You are judged on your words and actions, and yours alone. You're expected to be a respectful member of your team and to show good sportsmanship at all times. I realize that not everyone does that, in fact very few people do, but that is the standard in place. If you get reported and do not meet that standard, you will get punished.

2: You are level 16. You're the definition of inexperienced. Relax. Try to be chill. Mute the assholes, and play some music. Everyone has shit games, you just gotta forget them.

I'll never understand why we have a community that defends a system that punishes people for caring about the integrity of this game more than the people who damage that integrity.

i just hope you wernt being rude back. you may not have being watching their lanes to know why they died maybe they were camped or got dived maybe they were continiously engageing after they lost several fights. i personally cant play my lane while knowing exactly what happening in every lane and how they all cs their minions i just do my lane and watch the minimap ocationally. now if i see an ally on the mini map overlapping the enemy minions over and over and over and dieing i dont use the word feeding its offensive i just tell them to back off stop engageing and play safe and i dont do it more than twice in 5 mins cause on the real i just try to push where ever my teamates arnt if they are like that because when they like that they only looking out for them selves and dont care about the teamwork in the game. and i dont give up the game because the players are stupid mostly because i believe in my skill to hold out and make the enemy slip up and maybe my team may accidently work together rather than some one walking around in the middle of a fight not hitting anyone then they run away save them selves like their 1 life is gonna stop 5 champions
