I just got suspended because I had a troll for support.

First off I should not have to come in here and explain this crap. I had a troll on my team as my support, picked tahm kench and then walked top side to leash for the jungler for unknown reasons. I manage to dodge Nautilus's Q and keep farming despite the 1v2, and when Tahm gets to lane finally he starts eating me and running toward the enemy clearly trying to get me killed. And he keeps doing it, and I have to use my flash to avoid being killed, then I have to use my heal the next time.

As you can imagine at that point I'm pretty pissed off and I told my team I wanted to quit, asked the enemy team to report tahm for trolling, and recalled again because I was low. Doesn't take long of him constantly doing this and I'm like 2 levels down and like half ther adc's CS. At this point my teammates start flaming me for being weak and I flipped the hell out. I'm trying to explain that my asshat support is deliberately making me weak, taking cs, eating me and trying to set me up for chain CC by the enemy bot lane... etc.. they don't care... they start saying they're reporting me for "griefing".

This community is so backwards..... Like... I got trolled really hard. And I think I kept my composure, I didn't sit in base spamming all caps lock and then leave the game. I stayed and tried to reason with my teammates and the enemy team, who for whatever reason joined in on flaming me despite them knowing full well Tahm was 10000% trolling and trying to get me killed.

So despite my efforts to be a pleasant person in this game, people push me over the edge of my sanity being insane douche bags... and I get punished for responding in the only way I can. So I'm sitting at the end game screen, waiting for a notification that tahm has been punished, and I get a popup... but it says I've been suspended and need to relog. I relog, and I'm permanently banned. So I swore some in the game, but it wasn't directed at anyone. I called tahm a douche bag twice. Was he not being a douche bag, am I not allowed to call some troll hell bent on ruining my game a douche bag?

I need some clarity on this.... My account has over 500 dollars worth of skins on it and I just got permanently banned because of this game's childish follow the leader community who just love to pile on. The enemy team all told me they'd report tahm for me towards the end of the game, but they all left the end game screen so fast there's no way they reported him.

I was suspended until April 9th, and I have not had any incident since until today... I've been going to extremes to be polite to people but don't tell me that tahm kench didn't deserve to be called a douche bag, his entire intent in playing was to ruin the game for our team. He didn't say a word the entire game though... so he's fine right Riot? He's fine trolling and ruining the game for people and pushing them past the edge of their sanity and provoking but I can't say a word to him or I get banned. This is bullshit.... I don't deserve this shit. I've tried to be a good member of this community, but I will not be bullied by some little rat bastard children and sit quietly. I realize that is what Riot wants to happen here, but that's not going to fly with me.

You were banned for being toxic, as you admit to here.

And I think I kept my composure,

Which is it? Did you get pretty pissed off and be toxic, or did you keep your composure?

because of this game's childish follow the leader community who just love to pile on.

No, you were banned for consistently ruining games for players, including after a final warning 14 day suspension that you just recently came off of (about a week ago).

but don't tell me that tahm kench didn't deserve to be called a douche bag,

Did your 3 innocent teammates deserve to have to watch you enact your vigilante justice on this tahm?

You make it really hard to sympathize with your story when you end it with things like "riot wants you to be bullied". Not only is that just plain offensive and calls your good faith into question, it's laughably wrong.

Let's clear one thing up - you were banned because of your behavior and your behavior alone. There's no reason during any of your three previous punishments you couldn't have learned to type /mute when people start trolling - especially after the 2 week ban during which you are told that 1) the next step is a perma and 2) you're on thin ice.

Please ensure you understand that. What everyone else does is not license for you to respond in kind. Even if they're trolling the game, not just with words. You'd have done better to just exit the game - unless you do it regularly, you probably wouldn't have even gotten hit with leaver queue penalties.

Your account is gone by your own hand, and barring some exceedingly rare action by a rioter, you are probably not going to get it back. You're still welcome to make a new account and play.

No one ever gets banned for anything anyone else does. Simple as that.

Seeing your chat logs are nice when it comes to this.

Though I'm pretty sure from just looking over this it was well placed. You may have been angry at them but there's no need to call them out by asking the enemy to report or saying things to them. The only report that matters is ONE which is by the person that wants to place it. The best thing to do is to mute the person and move on. Plus seeing as you said you had a previous punishment, that there already said you were on the edge. So there's only one place to go, and that's gone.

Sounds like you should download the .rofl file and make sure they see it.

"I will not be bullied by some little rat bastard children and sit quietly. I realize that is what Riot wants to happen here, but that's not going to fly with me."

That's perfectly fine that you feel that way. Ultimately though, it's Riot's game and Riot's rules. If you want to enjoy the game you gotta follow the rules pretty simple. It seems like you understand what rules you broke so no need to take this any further. Ban won't be reversed, money "invested" is gone. Time to find something else to play.

You did not get suspended for having a troll support. You were suspended for violation of Wheaton's Law.

I get everyone's ego here and all but seriously look at it from an outside gaming perspective. The game has a chat filter that blocks adult language. Calling someone a douche for purposefully ruining your game by your own team mate trying to kill you on purpose is far far worse then calling him a douche for doing it. You people all act like youre mother teresa or some kind of saints lol.

If people agreed to turn chat filter off and be subject to adult language, "douche" should be the last thing to get you banned lol.

I see people constantly afk, troll lanes, steal peoples lanes and picks in champ select, steal jg camps/leash on purpose and completely give up, refusing to help their team until they lose out of spite. I never see these accounts banned. If you are a victim of these behaviours and ask for a report and say anything negative to them after their blatant abuse, you get banned.

This is absolutely asinine
