BAN ME MORE

IAmTheTeam··1 votes·1,007 views

I hate how riot bans accounts for not doing anything serious. Like HEY LETS CREATE A UTOPIAN GAMING SOCIETY WHERE ALL CURSING AND FLAMING IS NONEXISTENT EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN AROUND SINCE PONG AND IS A REASON PEOPLE PLAY THE GAME. Like seriously though, im on my 8th account and i still dont give a fck. I get banned for the dumbest reasons like saying my team sucks when they do, witch hunting some noob who is doing the exact same thing as I am, or just getting reported by my team FOR NOT CARRYING HARD ENOUGH IN THESE LOW ELO MATCHES THANKS TO RIOT BANNING ALL MY ACCOUNTS. You would think that riot would grow a pair and not make their game as childish as it could be, especially since ALL THE REPORTERS AND CASTERS ARE OLDER AND DONT GIVE A FCK IF SOMEONE CUSSES. I had to tell my friends not to get me any more REDEEMABLE CODES that cost HELLA $$$ simply because i know its only a matter of time that my account gets banned again for nothing more than cussing someone out who deserves it. So my GF buys me a 25 dollar one thinking ive had the account for a long time and so i told her no more. I redeem code, spend it on an overpriced RENGAR CHROMA PACK and it wont let me refund it. AND SURE ENOUGH i get 14 day banned for flaming my AUTO LOCKING VARUS MID and not being able to carry top against free farm nasus. RIOT YOU ARE DISGUSTING. QUIT BANNING ACCOUNTS YOU NOOBS AND LET US PLAY THE GAME. NOT ONCE DO I HATE SPEECH. NOT ONCE DO I TELL PPL TO KILL THEMSELVES. I ONLY FCKING CURSE AND FLAME AND TILT LIKE EVERYONE INCLUDING THE BEST STREAMERS LIKE SNEAKY, GRIPEX, GOSU, ETC.. Riot needs to appreciate the fact they make so much money and then ban accounts for no reason simply to make more money off other accounts. Its a big scam if you ask me, and i do not appreciate being an 8 year player with 8 banned accounts for doing nothing other than competitive aggressive conversation and gameplay. MAYBE IF YOU QUIT BANNING MY ACCOUNTS I CAN STAY IN AN ELO THAT IS GOOD FOR ME SO I WONT FLAME AS MUCH? Jesus... Anyway thats my two cents. You cannot have a perfect utopian gaming society because humans are not perfect AND I HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FLAMING HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE BEGINNING AND IS PART OF EVERY GAME NOOBS!

Maybe you're using games as an outlet for some aspects of your life... but most people don't play games so they can curse and flame people...

If you're playing games just so you can curse and flame at other people... I think you have an IRL problem you are not properly addressing. It almost sounds like you are being an internet bully to compensate for something IRL.

I HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FLAMING HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE BEGINNING AND IS PART OF EVERY GAME NOOBS!

Freedom of speech is protected in public government forums (like streets of a city, city hall, etc). League of Legends (the game and the boards) are a private forum, run and owned by a private company. You have no freedom of speech here. Riot can tell you to GTFO if you say something they don't like. Just like how you can tell someone to GTFO of your home if they say something you don't like.

I get that man. I do. I have a Great life actually. Very happy person. Im the youngest of 5 and so competitive nature is in my blood. some people thrive from being able to Flame each other as it increases their adrenaline and makes the game more fun. Its one thing if you don't understand. But dont take it away from the ones who get it. Also LOL is an AMERICAN GAME and thus should be governed by such rules if you ask me. But i respect if you dont have fun in a flaming atmosphere.

It is. You have Freedom of Speech: no legal action will be taken against you for what you choose to say on League as long as it is protected speech.

You do not have Freedom from Consequence. As a privately run company letting you access their privately run servers, Riot is legally permitted to restrict behavior they do not wish to see, just like a bar can kick you out for drunken behavior, a movie theater can kick you out for screaming during the film, or a bookstore can kick you out for yelling slurs. Riot's servers are private property that they allow you to access, and it is not a violation of the first amendment to require certain behavioral expectations be met to retain access to those privately operated areas.

I understand. I think its just a dumb concept for video games since it isn't IRL and i'm not going to make someone endanger themselves by what i say. LOL is becoming a bunch of scared children not wanting to be MEN and WOMEN about the situation and whine and cry and mope and then turn around and do the exact same thing to other people. The game has become more about who you can get banned instead of how you learn to improve on the game.

{quoted}I think its just a dumb concept for video games since it isn't IRL and i'm not going to make someone endanger themselves by what i say.

As someone who plays both to improve (and win) and to have fun simultaneously? It's always more enjoyable to lose and learn something with a friendly, cheerful, understand team than it is to win after 20 minutes of putting up with someone insulting me, belittling me, and cursing at me.

It's not that I whine and mope -- it's just that during my leisure time I'd rather not have to bother ignoring someone's unwelcome behavior. If there are two movie theaters nearby, for example, I'm going to want to go to the one that doesn't allow screaming at the screen: I'm there to enjoy the experience of the movie.

If you cannot divorce playing to win and playing to improve from flaming and belittling other players, I would urge you to find another game. Riot wants to be the movie theater WITHOUT the screaming patrons, and will keep penalizing you for being one of them.

I get that. But I am entitled to my opinion. I do not have fun unless I win. I play to win. that simple. Never Surrender, Never Give Up, Learn Constently

All of that can be done without flaming though. That should, in fact, be one of the things you learn while playing League. A team that isn't destroying itself from the inside is more likely to win than one that is.

Just trying to help. Otherwise you WILL keep getting banned, which would be unfortunate for you.

I feel like this is the most constructive point so far. TY for this. I believe the problem is that after getting banned, it takes too long to get to my correct "elo" which is why i find myself playing with others who start flaming and i find it my job to shut it down by being more harassing then they are. I just dont think i can change that attitude within myself though :/

Some thoughts on that.

First, your "correct" MMR is the one where you win about 50% of your games. Learning to play with and support a team -- even one doing poorly -- IS a League skill, and does figure into your MMR. There's a reason pro teams aren't just the best players: they have to find good team fits as well. If you can become someone who can take a group of players and turn them into a supportive, team-work focused team, your chances of winning go up, since you can unite players and inspire them even after a bad start. It's as much a game skill as champion knowledge, micro gameplay, and macro gameplay. It can make you the shotcaller not because you tell people "you're wrong, and I know better," but because people want to listen to you and respect your judgement and your calls.

If you cannot play as PART of a team, you will always be in a lower MMR than you could be.

Some tips.

  1. Accept that you will lose 50% of your games, more or less. Accept that some of those will be beyond your control, and some will be your fault. Work on finding fun and meaning in losses, or you'll never really enjoy League. How can you enjoy something if you're only having fun in 50% of the games you enter?
  2. To that extent, enter games with two goals. The first is to improve your own game and the second is to learn to be a team player and a positive team influence. If you can focus on yourself and building a fun environment, you will find you start to win more often.
  3. Don't worry about other players if they're doing poorly or not listening. Try to fulfill the previous two goals. Ignore the other flamers. Mute them. Pretend they don't exist. They don't matter, and they're not worth your account.
  4. Accept that you cannot make other players more skilled. What you can do is work with the skill they have. Encourage them. Be friendly. Be polite. This will get the most out of them. Even a bad player can be more useful working WITH the team than AGAINST the team.
  5. Scan everything you type. If it is not supportive/encouraging OR neutral and game-important (i.e. "Dragon in :35", which is important, vs. "you're 0/15 and feeding top" which isn't important since everyone knows it, and only serves to antagonize), DO NOT TYPE IT. Your account isn't worth it.
  6. When in doubt, say nothing. Focus on your own gameplay. Be the best player you can be. You may lose, but if you're not creating a toxic environment and you're playing with the team to the best of your ability then AND ONLY THEN can you begin to say that loss isn't your fault. If you're causing a toxic environment, you are as much at fault for the loss as your teammate who was feeding their Jax...and possibly more, as a unified team can shut down an uncoordinated team with a single fed player. Be that unifying force.

There is no fun in only winning. 100% win rates all the way to challenger are impossible. I've had fun losing with a troll team of voli blitz thresh singed and naut as a pull under tower yank-y doodle dandy team. I also play aram to cool off in between ranked games. I like certain champ kits and playstyles. Winning is fun, but it doesn't HAVE to be the only way to have fun. Otherwise you'll just spend 50% of the time utterly miserable. There's no point. Single player games are better for the win mentality.

The game has become more about who you can get banned instead of how you learn to improve on the game.

I've failed to see your logic in this. So technically, you learn to improve in League by simply shit-talking people more instead of actually playing? That's your point?

IAmTheTeam1 votes

1v1 me bro. Oh wait you cant. CUZ IM BANNED. And thats not my point you passive aggressive noob. Im saying that you dont get any worse by getting banned and that some people thrive if they are driven to a point of anger. Its called the Dark Side and its more powerful than anything you can imagine. But you just have to use the Dark Side for good causes. Its a Catch 22 that you probably cant understand since you fail to see logic.

BeatzBoyFTW3 votes

Sure people can get frustrated easily over losses, getting feeding teammates, losing streaks & etc til the point they need to shit-talk.

But ask yourself this. What does shit-talking others even do/improve? It's nothing more than seeing the immature side of yours whilst causing you to perform even worse. Describing it as "Dark Side and its more powerful than anything you can imagine" shows you lack the will of self-control of your own behavior, especially for an internet game. You want to let out your "Dark Side"? Go yell in your room, punch a wall or something. Not mindlessly crush your keyboard just to type "kys" in all-chat.

I am actually American, born and raised in the US. It is pretty absurd and ignorant that you would make it a point to state that because LOL is an American game it should be governed as such because you are implying I am not American and I don't know how things work in America. It's incredibly ironic because you don't even understand American Constitutional law and are trying to tell me about how things should be run and governed in America.

Being competitive does not mean you have to be horrible to other players. There's trash talking in competitive environments and then there's cursing at and flaming people and I don't know if you understand the difference.

IAmTheTeam1 votes

Nobody on League knows the difference. Usually how ppl get upset instead of taking constructive criticism and thus escalating the conversation.

If you do understand the difference, why do you describe your own behavior as cursing at and flaming?

It appears that you know the difference and are actively choosing to curse at and flame people instead of trash talk them.

Give me an example of trash talk that isn't considered in some way shape or form or flaming nowadays please.

Say you get a double kill in lane and you see the enemy jungler trying to come for you but you backed and are in the fountain already. "Lucky I couldn't cancel my back in time or it would have been a triple kill" regardless of whether or not you would actually have gotten a triple kill.

That's trash talking.

Sure!

"Close one, Riven...but not close enough!" "Better luck next time. ALMOST had me, but it's the kill indicator that matters!" "Teemo -- I get that you've got a global taunt, but I think it's a little TOO effective against that Jax. Maybe back off a bit."

Yeah, they're all sort of needling at my team/opponent and letting them know they're dying/died to me. The trick is that they're all still friendly in a way. That's polite trash talk -- giving other players a little bit of hell in a manner than lets them know it's a game, and I don't hold anything again them.

Also if you want flaming vs constructive criticism:

"You're missing all of your last hits noob" or "L2 Last hit" vs "If you're having trouble with your last hits, look at how much damage you do on AA's on minions and left click low minions to see their health and use the sheer number instead of estimating the amount of health by how large the bar is. If the health goes down fast, attack a little earlier than how much you AA for. If it goes slowly, you can AA it when the health is at or below your AA damage"

OH YEA THAT'S A REAL GOOD REASON TO ROB SOMEONE OF ALL THEIR TIME AND MONEY. Meanwhile the ones that deserved to be put in their place and flamed because insta locking, feeding, trolling, blaming, harrassing, and everything else under the sun get away with it. NOBODY wants to be the guy to put others in their place and be a dick but i am the first to call out when someone is throwing the game. I PLAY TO WIN. OTHERS PLAY TO LOSE.

ModPeriscope2 votes

I don't understand the point of your post. You say this is your 8th time being banned, yet you're upset about wasting time and money on your account. What did you think would happen if you didn't change your behavior after a 14-day ban, or not changing your behavior after your 7th account was banned? I get that others' behaviors can be upsetting, but if you've had as many punishments as you've had, this isn't an issue with other players.

IAmTheTeam1 votes

Its just my 2 cents. I for one will continue to fight and Flame all others who deserve it even if it gets me banned is my point. I stand up for justice and the liberty to BM THE FCK out of all the ppl who int and throw games. Someone has to be that guy. My point is to let riot know how unjust it is to ban someone who puts the other noobs in check and if they cant handle it and cry and whine then all the more power to me. I get stronger with every account banned. I am the Dark Knight

Hardly. You're not benefiting players at all when you berate them. No one has to be that guy, but "that guy" is in many matches, creating negative experiences for many players. Further, you're putting some beneficial and altruistic spin on toxicity and harassment. The irony here is that you champion your goal of helping the community, but at best you're showing that toxic players get punished, which is beneficial for the community to know.

IAmTheTeam1 votes

Hardly. I am not the first to strike. Maybe Punisher is more appropriate. TY for my 9th acc name

ModPeriscope1 votes

All I'm saying is that flaming others doesn't help them play better, mostly because they either flame back or they mute you. And if you're dead set on continuing this path, well that's your priority. You won't get to keep any skins, and you won't benefit from the new honor system rewarding you for good behavior.

I'd appreciate if you would change, even if we never play a game together.

xXRaichopXx1 votes

You made the choice to spend money on this game.

Pinkaj1 votes

Stuff like instalocking, feeding and what looks like trolling are things that noobs do because they don't know how to play the game. You were probably playing with lvl 14's, since this is your 8th acc.

IAmTheTeam1 votes

Thats what im talking about bro. you get it. So banning accounts is only going to make me flame more since some dont understand the concept however i am the "big brother" who lets them know harshly that its not ok to do such things.
