The automated ban system is a joke

i2v47aBaCJ··3 votes·835 views

Can't tell you how many times now i've been banned by trolls, yes by trolls because riot gives them full power, full authority to dictate what happens to my account. You'd think with this being the most popular pc games in the world, and all the money they're making they could design a sensible ban system, but obviously not. Today is yet another day trolls win and everyone else loses. I got to endure verbal abuse all game last game, and then got reported by this same troll, and then got a 14 day ban, so next up is a perm. I'll say this though, i'm so very happy that throughout the years i've not spent a single penny on this game, nor will I. I never recommend this game to friends, nor will I, infact it's the opposite i've let everyone know how awful both this community, the staff and the treatment of players is. And i'll continue to.

You don't get punished just because people reported you, but because of your behavior in those reported matches. Would you mind sharing your reform card?

They have a very unintelligent half baked keyword scanning system that looks for anything remotely negative. That contrary to what the devs who wrote this garbage will tell you, absolutely can't distinguish between context, and yes If you get more than 1 player who reports you in a game, the chances of a ban within 5 minutes are extremely high. I'd imagine they whitelist pros and those of status to prevent banning, and maybe even players who've spent x amount or who's accounts are x years old, but I doubt to that for the latter.

I'm sure you think you did nothing wrong, or at least not enough to deserve whatever punishment you got, but you're not going to convince anyone like that. Just post your reform card.

You make things up how this system works, even if I would search for threads now to show you where Red posts tell how it really is you would deny it.

For players which are new and read this: He is a troll, it's not the truth about the "white list", the "half baked keyword scanning" and the "if more player report you - you get punished".

There are 2 options.

  1. You are a troll
  2. You are a Cartman from Southpark

The system works fine. Cases are handled by a human BEFORE you are punished. The "automated" part only puts your case into the hands of a Riot employee.

This is why you can get banned months or even years later for an offence you did in the past. For example I got a chat restriction at level 30 for "feeding" in a game when i was level TWO.

MASTERQUICKENS Today at 02:22 Why is the auto-ban banning me for non-toxic behaviour? And secondly, why is the auto ban feature still in effect in the first place? I can understand it for highly negative behaviour such as hate speech, intentional feeding, cheating, afking, and such. But other than that? It's inherently flawed and is being MASSIVELY abused by the Trundles of the game. It's making me want to quit the game that i've had my main banned for literally no other reason than using smite and teleport on Janna (fun as HELL by the by, teleport to save turrets, or those quick to ward, and can be used to smitesteal objectives when your jungler is new or unavailable, highly recommend!) simply because of the sheer volume of people going "smite tele on janna lol troll plz report " " K". I really didn't think i could be punished for being original in that sense and wasn't concerned, until i was stunned to find otherwise. I can honestly say that that alone tilted me in many of my future games, and i know it shouldn't have, but here we are. Now, on my new account after my chat restriction i was careful and tried to be not toxic. 1st game was justified, i flamed, though it was in response to being bullied and trolled and seemed unfair. Alright. I get it. The second game, vulgarity. of which I disagree with, how can you take away ANY sort of speech in such a highly competitive game, but again, not my rules. The last and final straw though? My highly innapropriate behaviour? There was none. I literally did not behave in any way shape or form negatively. I had a support with almost as much CS as I did, who did nothing but say "ha..." every time she intentionally fed and i asked her to stop trolling, or asked why she was CSing. I had a jungler abusing me for not having CS despite me trying to do so and having to contest with a support the entire time, and I had a new mid laner that was struggling but trying. We were (Obviously, in my opinion, and was later confirmed in post game chat) against a premade and there wasn't much hope after they had snowballed a riven jungle into pubstomping us like minions. Despite this. I was positive and simply asked jungle not to flame, helped the mid laner by answering questions and giving him tips for facing Riven in the future after he claimed to have never faced one, and was even honoured and friended by the enemy, who also apologized profusely to me for having to put up with that level of nonsense. And yet. that was the final straw for which I was banned. I can say nothing and remain positive and helpful and be banned, yet someone can play Tahm Kench running flash and Ghost and literally do nothing all game but try and kill people won't, simply because he was silent? I can't speak against someone for bullying me and ruining my experience in a game that i will be banished from if i quit in frustration, but the one who's negatively impacting my experience, the inherent "toxic" person(s) gets off scot freeafter getting off on ruining someones game? And how about the plentiful premades that decide they don't like someone and report them... simply because they can, and know it will be put into effect because of sheer volume, even if they said something untoward to the group, how is it right to punish someone speaking out against being picked on?If you have 3 people on a team of five trying as hard as they can to be silently damning toward one they don't like, they are going to, without fail, ruin the game for that person. And can do so without typing a single letter. Is that not downright bullying? How is this utter nonsense still being allowed? ...y u do dis.
