The Banning System is Absurd!

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.

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.

Yeah, its pretty stupid. Completely automated permabans for saying something at worse- "You're bad".

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.
