Can I get unbanned?

Hello, I wanted to know if there's a way to get my account unbanned, after being banned for toxicity? Yes, this just sounds crazy and immature. I'm not asking you guys to hear some random excuse as to why I was "tilted" from that game, but a way we can compromise together to having me back on the rift. I do have a tendency to rage, if there's an initiator and in both games that were used to justify my permaban, I wasn't the one who initiated harassing. If anything, can we perhaps perma- mute me instead?

Unfortunately for you, reacting to toxicity with your own toxicity is still being toxic. Riot expects us not to fight fire with fire in-game.

I never thought I'd be the one to get banned :/ it just seems so extreme compared to others

Yeah, that's how it is unfortunately. I feel for you, but you've got to work on controlling your temper, even with the most infuriating of things going on around you, if you want to be able to play this game without getting yourself banned.

You can always contact Player Support, but unless the punishment was given in error, it will not be overturned period. There is no buying it back or anything like that. It's gone.

Unless you use some zero tolerance phrases (hate speech, encouraging suicide, etc.), you are given 3+ punishments before receiving a permanent ban, with each one serving you as a warning that your behavior is not acceptable. You chose to ignore those warnings and continue showing unacceptable behavior in your games.

I wasn't the one who initiated harassing

Also, the whole "they started it" argument does not work here. Harassment of any kind is not acceptable. If you start harassing another player, you are subject to punishment. If someone else starts harassing you first, you should mute them instead of harassing them back.

Actually, you’re wrong. I was permanently banned, talked it over with a very nice and understanding Rioter who undid my perma ban. And this whole “it doesn’t matter if they started it” crap needs to stop.

Then either you were escalated to a permanent ban too quickly, or you got extremely lucky. I have heard of this happening once or twice before, but the normal policy is that punishments not given in error are not lifted.

And this whole “it doesn’t matter if they started it” crap needs to stop

Why is that? If someone starts flaming you first, flaming them back does nothing helpful for the situation, it only makes it worse. This is why retaliating with your own toxic behavior is not allowed.
