The Banning System is Absurd!

blacktwochains··3 votes·536 views

I recently received a permaban on my main account that I've had for 7 years with every champ owned, near every skin owned. Close to $1500 I've spent on that account. The reason I was banned? Language. I'm cool with banning people for being the antagonist... but banning players for being defensive when a toxic play provokes them is absurd! You have a free game, that requires NO money to make a new account, so people will say anything and everything... We can report them, but that does no good since they'll just make a new account and harass us even more. But the innocent players, the one that get caught up in anger trying to fight back against trolls or toxic players, we are the ones suffering. I have a short fuse, and even after losing my main account, I just received a 14 day ban on my second account that has about $150 into it so far. Your system does nothing to protect me or others from verbal abuse.. In fact your system is set up in such a way that it almost promotes the toxicity because there is no real punishment to toxic players. The only thing your system does is hurt people like me. I'm a veteran of the United States Military and I suffer extremely from PTSD and Anxiety... Needless to say I don't take crap from anyone. You've punished ME for being a victim and I do not appreciate this especially considering the amount of money I have dumped into your game. If nothing gets done to change your system I will make it my lifelong goal to have the media push stories about how you treat your fans and allow trolling to exist in your community (I've got connections in a few news outlets). This is ridiculous and unacceptable. Rant Over!

What's ridiculous and unacceptable is the number of people who think they need to defend themselves from words. You're not in high school anymore, it's alright to have thick skin and ignore immaturity. You're an adult after all.

I didn't expect a vet to play the "victim" card though. That's honestly the most depressing thing I've seen all year.

This. Ive had my fair share of bad games, but feeling this need to defend yourself when there is a mute button is kinda sad.

Seriously? You don't think people have a completely different way of handling anger than you do? Not everyone can turn off their anger and hit mute... sometimes we fight back, I was always taught that as a kid... Nowadays we teach children to run away and let someone else handled the bully. When I was a kid we were taught to walk right up to the bully and sock em in the mouth.... They leave you alone after you show them who's boss.... This new generation of pansies has created a system that makes bad guys out of victims, as you so clearly put about "You don't need to defend yourself" It's people like you why this world is going to shit... but excuse me while I "defend" your right to be so naive

We're not kids anymore, in case you haven't noticed. Sometimes you have to grow out of certain behaviors that are acceptable for children but not for adults. This is one of them.

You have no real right to call anyone a pansy so long as you have such thin skin. Go learn to pick your fights instead of needing to defend your ego from every 12 year old on the internet. Maybe then you'll be able to follow the behavioral guidelines you agreed to follow before you were rightfully punished.

Just don't forget, there's a big difference between self defense and retribution. You're allowed to defend yourself, you're just not allowed to enact "eye for an eye" style justice.

its the oppiste... sometimes the only way the morons understand they need to straight up is for you to be the biggest whinest rbat ever.

i work 6 days a weak at a crappy part time job i clearly in an adult manner time and time agian i n help with this cuase of its weight or the way these things are being done are unacceptable for 3 years they ignored me and guess what. only jsut recently because ive started whining and being a brat have they started listing.

riot and my shit job are the same once enough players start whining about there crap system will be changed examples of it for evidence is east coast lag and there cleint

work place examples are the constant hiring people who quit or dont work vs the current smaller staff that actully works they have admitted it is better and have stopped greeting me with thank god you are here

What you could also do is think how awesome you are. They are toxic and you are the good guy, right? If you get into it, don't get into it in anger. Just smile and say things like "thank you", "Yes, I know I am awesome", "love you too". It pisses them more off than anything.

Try it when you can, it is definitely worth it.

you know .. millitary type speech (stereotyping here) with berating others / negative motivation / they way they cuss at others does work too well on the internet. Especially when there is no hierarchy.
