Falsely banned for intentional feeding

lambotino··2 votes·1,641 views

basically I Died first to a jungle invade and from there I went 0/6/0 my toplane was 0/10/2 and botlane was 0/6/0 until the end where botlane got some kills and our Jungle was toxic and kept flamming me and the toplane very hard Until I muted him he managed to convince everyone I was intentionally feeding wich I wasn't until about 14ish mins in when I stopped playing because there was no point I was getting towerdived and the midlaners had 150 Cs on me so I stayed in fountain and was Afkish I wasn't fully standing still I was using spells and when they enemy would get close to fountain I'd attack them but apart from that I stayed in fountain, so I should be banned for AFK not intentionally feeding besides at the end I was defending the nexus its just that our jungle managed to convince everyone that me and the toplaner were feeding.

anyway here is the game in question : https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2779241099/26530470?tab=overview

AFK punishments should only be reserved for those who have to AFK due to emergencies or technical difficulties.

What you did was actually intentionally trying to lose the game by just standing in base, meaning an intentional feeding ban is 100% appropriate.

You also didn't even AFK. AFK meaning Away From Keyboard. You were just standing around in base trying to fool the system, so you knew what you were doing was wrong. It's only fair for the system to punish you harshly for doing something YOU KNOW you shouldn't do.

You fully deserve the punishment, you were not treated unfairly.

I'm not a toxic person trying to willingly lose games for my team but when your entire team is flamming you and your toplane because you are 0/16 that's something else entirely, besides the very next game I carried my team after being the only person to win my lane and I boosted everyone's moraly by not giving up and no one was toxic so we were able to win but if you can look at the chatlog of that game you'd see why I gave up for 5 min

You may or may not be a toxic person, but you WERE trying to intentionally lose.

but when your entire team is flamming you and your toplane because you are 0/16 that's something else entirely, besides the very next game I carried my team after being the only person to win my lane and I boosted everyone's moraly by not giving up and no one was toxic so we were able to win but if you can look at the chatlog of that game you'd see why I gave up for 5 min

Then mute and report the people flaming you.

You broke the rules, you accept the punishment.

They break the rules, they'll have to accept the punishment.

I wasn't trying to intentionally lose the game was Already Lost they each had like 3 levels on us and were grouped at all time sieging all 3 inibs there was just no way we were winning, I was very tilted after getting flammed AND losing lane I never killed myself by throwing myself at them voluntarily, and regarding your point of me trying to fool the system by not going AFK should I have just disconnected from the game? instead of running around in base so that I get an AFK ban if any instead of a false intentional feeding one?

You could, idk, keep playing the game?

If you're going to quit when you aren't hardcarrying, just don't queue up for a game in the first place - you're making it less fun for others who have to deal with you giving up.

lambotino1 votes

yes, I should have kept playing, this post Isn't about me being a saint but about the fact that I was banned for intentionally feeding when I wasn't

If I'm not mistaken, "Intentional Feeding" is the report category that, broadly speaking, encompasses gameplay toxicity. It includes assisting the enemy team (whether by intentionally feeding, alerting them of teammate's positions/plans, similar things), or sabotaging your own team (deliberately trolling, refusing to play the game, deliberately trying not to win, etc.)

What you did (AFK'ing in fountain, not doing anything save attacking extremely nearby enemies), amounts to sabotage. You were subtracting yourself from the match - without AFK'ing, so that your team would lose faster. So that your enemy would be able to press an easy win.

You don't deserve the AFK penalty if you're just "AFK-ish", to quote your OP. Like RallerenP has already told you, the AFK penalty is typically reserved for people who actually leave their keyboards. You stayed around, and refused to actually play. You refused to commit. You sat in fountain and did, as far as anyone's concerned, nothing, to help your team.

You sabotaged your team, and a ban is more than appropriate.

If/when your ban is served out, do remember that, if you queue up for a match of League, you're signing up to play it 'til the end, even if it means having to fight a losing battle. You're not allowed to sit "AFK-ish" in base.

fair enough next time this happens I wont stay in fountain i'll just disconnect, makes no sense but atleast ill get a 24h ban instead of 2 weeks, thanks for the tip

Umbral Regent2 votes

If you're just going to disconnect when a match isn't turning out how you want, you'd be better off not queuing up at all. You're never guaranteed to win, and leaving before the match is over only ensures that those matches will be losses.

Good. Can't wait for your perma.

While the punishment category is for intentional feeding, it's more of a general category of griefing and intentionally losing the game.

What did you actually get banned for?

lambotino1 votes

I got banned for intentional feeding

MagicFlyingLlama1 votes

Then you inted. Or you are lying.

It takes a large number of games of very absurd feeding to get punished for it. One game just cant do it.

Your match history shows nothing remotely close to banworthy.

I just came back to the game 1.5 months ago what Is inting exactly?

and secondly my point exactly I think what happened is that a mob mentality occured where 3 people on my team and probably some on the enemy team reported me too and I had so many reports the system decided I was intentionally feeding when I wasn't, I've had plenty of games where I went 0/10 in the past few weeks but none of them were ever intentional and I went AFK In none of them except this one

I mean you could go 0/20 in every single game for 3 months and if it isn't intentional and just because you are not very good you wont get banned intentional feeding bans are for people intentionally running down mid and killing themselves or something like that, like helping the enemy team and such.

MagicFlyingLlama1 votes

The system does not do that, reports do absolutely nothing except trigger a review. False reports are simply discarded.

You got a feedback card and email saying why you got banned, and it was obviously not for inting.

lambotino1 votes

yes it does say I got banned for intentionally feeding I can screenshot it if you want

It takes a large number of games of very absurd feeding to get punished for it. One game just cant do it.

Where'd you get that idea?

The system can absolutely punish for a single game. It's incredibly rare, and it's even more rare hearing about it. But it's not impossible.

Normally people say it takes multiple games of inting before someone gets punished because that's usually what needed for system to be certain.

But it's not very hard to detect someone just running in circles and occasionally throwing out abilities in fountain, and if OP said he was inting when ingame, that's enough for the system to be certain.

And further, why would OP lie about that? He gains nothing from it unless you think he is trolling. In which case: Why did you even reply to begin with?

He inted that game, even said so himself (even though he is adamant about it not being inting).

MagicFlyingLlama1 votes

Gross semantics.

It is probably possible, but i have never seen a single report of it.

0/6 definitely wont trigger it even if someone runs down lane, i see that plus shit like "gg gonna feed" and nothing happens to them.

OP probably got banned for running their mouth all game prior to having a meltdown and quitting.

RallerenP1 votes

It is probably possible, but i have never seen a single report of it.

Which is why it would be incredibly rare.

You construct huge strawmen from anecdotal evidence. Why begin constructing baseless theories, especially when the theories don't change the outcome?

And again: Why would he be lying?

MagicFlyingLlama1 votes

You just explained why.

Avaunt, pedant.

RallerenP1 votes

And he ran out of arguments, so he went for the ad hominen.

MagicFlyingLlama2 votes

You literally explained why it is incredibly unlikely, then asked why it is unlikely in the same post.

I am more or less certain you are a troll, nobody literate could be that stupid. Thus i will stop feeding you.

Also, i doubt you even know what ad hominem means, especially since i never insulted you and you cant spell it.
