so from what i heard if u get a any kind of ban in any part of season u will not get Season 5 Ranked Rewards is that correct sir ? thanks in advance.

"I made a huge blunder earlier, then was on a flight so didn't have a chance to correct the post earlier. In the last season of Leagues play, we excluded some of the Ranked Rewards from players that were excessively toxic (so, exhibited severe offensive behaviors such as racism and sexism) or were persistently toxic (so, exhibited moderately offensive behaviors in a large number of games). We're going to continue this policy this year; however, there are some slight changes: One, we always want to encourage reform, and celebrate players that successfully reform by the end of the season. So, players that got a Chat or Ranked Restriction during the season, but manage to reform and DO NOT HAVE active Chat or Ranked Restrictions by the season end cutoff will still get their Ranked Rewards. Players that still have active Chat or Ranked Restrictions by the season end cutoff will not be eligible. Two, players that have received a few Low Priority Queues will still be eligible for Ranked Rewards because we do not want to punish players who may have gotten a few queues due to ISP or hardware issues; however, extremely chronic leavers that have left a huge fraction of their games or hundreds and hundreds of games will not receive Ranked Rewards. These are players that have ruined hundreds of thousands of games, and have had multiple 20 minute Low Priority Queues. Three, players that have received escalated bans (so 7-day or 14-day bans) for excessive toxicity at any point during the 2015 Season will not receive Ranked Rewards. Players that have received these types of bans have shown some of the most egregious behaviors in the game, and we have a zero tolerance policy against things like racism, sexism, homophobia and other kinds of hate speech. These players WILL be eligible for Ranked Rewards in future seasons if they reform and are not flagged for excessive behaviors in future seasons. Hope this clarifies a few things and sorry for the mashing of sentences in the earlier post. Good luck on the rest of the season!"

I want to see Lyte's face after the flight when he checked reddit and the boards erupting.

Between the juggernaut update and the zed "buff" on the pbe, what do you expect from this community. Something can't be announced for 5 minutes without every one on these sites jumping to conclusions and crying about nothing. Honestly these sites are becoming harder and harder to take serious. Though i did like how while this initial announcement was up people were rushing to the boards and reddit to show how reformed they were by slandering riot and asking for lyte to be fired.

this policy of double jeopardy pretty much makes me want to kill myself.

i still dont get anything for my 14 day ban i didnt deserve. I guess i could be counted as toxic, or used to, but you cant put me with the "homophobes/sexists/ETC. that is just an insult and saying im worse or just as bad as them when most my reports are me just defending myself but whatever league don't care.
