Not the Typical Banned for 2 Weeks Response, I Swear!

Dear community,

Today I received my first ban. A full two weeks. Now I won't be posting chat logs, complaining about why I got banned, or wishing ill on anyone. I love League, it's my most played game, all my friends play it, it's my only outreach to a community because where I live I just don't have friends, and this ban has made me realize a lot about myself. While I come on here to escape to my own world, others are doing the same.

When I decide to flame teammates, degrade the enemy for losing to me or making the wrong play, and push disgusting amounts of harassment and degrading comments in chat in general, I become what I log on to escape. Taking a step back I really am ashamed of myself and I accept the full 2 weeks without any doubt I deserve it.

I don't know if anyone will understand where I'm coming from, or even read this whole post, but I don't want to be like this anymore. I don't like seeing toxic players, hate that I am one, and hate that I've wasted so much time getting mad and being a such detriment to the community when I could've been improving and climbing.

I'm not sure if playing on a second account is allowed or not while i'm on a ban, but if it is, I would really like to use the next two weeks to clear this all out of my system. Playing with fresh players, leading them with a strong example, and using my play with new players to humble myself could be a good start for me. If anyone would like to come on and play with my low level account (if it's allowed), I'll drop the account name below.

Thank you to anyone reading this, I need to get this out there. I hope everyone has a lovely day, bring your best to each game, and strive to better someones experience, I know I will be trying my hardest to!

Yes. They (typically) ban accounts, not players. You are allowed to play your smurfs. Even if you get permabanned you are allowed to create and play new accounts unless Riot says otherwise.

On the boards, however, you are not allowed to post on other accounts if you've been permanently banned from them (not relevant here).

What I do to prevent raging when teammates feed, is to play games on my phone.

there's nothing wrong with playing on a second account while you're banned. i did the same thing so i could try to improve my behavior in those 2 weeks.

Stopped reading right there.

Your argument would be much stronger if you posted your chat logs and recognized the evidence of your toxicity.

Just keep in mind that any punishment received in the next 3 months would lead to a permaban. So you'll need to be super careful to not slip up at all in that time. My main two suggestions would be to just avoid using chat at all until then, and be very quick to mute people.
