This really seems very unfair. I have played this game since it was in beta and I played D.O.T.A (the original) on warcraft 3. League took its influence from DOTA, and many original L.O.L workers had originally been developers for DOTA. I am an O.G. of this game, you feel me?!?!?!

I play on and off, I've been chat suspended in the past 2 or 3 times back in season 2 or 3 but I have nearly a perfect track record of never getting banned. I had level 3 honor for YEARS.

I started playing Shaco, he is super fun, but the community is extremely toxic towards Shaco players. I experienced a LOT of grieving that I never dealt with in the last 10 years of playing this game. I swear on my life that every other game my team would grief and intentionally make my game harder for me. Many people refuse to leash for me as the jungler. I know shaco can do jg without one but it still doesn't change the fact that these kids refuse to help me when I ask for it and then report me because I don't want to gank for them. I don't int, I just go help my other teammates instead. They flame me and the reporting algorithm decides to ban ME because I said the word Fuck and they don't get any punishment. Helping one another is a simple courtesy, and me reacting to them in this manner has never gotten me banned before, until now. That is just one example. There are many things people do to troll me that I honestly never dealt with before. Maybe the community got way more toxic and it's not just hatred for the fact I'm playing shaco. Who knows......

Can you please unban my account? I'm not saying I'm undeserving of punishment I just really don't want to lose this account. I am in the top 1% of original players and I feel this is very unfair. I will stop talking to people who aren't in friends chat since the community seems to have declined dramatically. Starcraft 2 has very friendly games idk what the difference is but I can talk to people all day long on SC and not have the same issues I'm having here.

Number of reports don't matter. One report triggers the IFS. "Defending" oneself with toxicity is still toxicity. You don't get notification every time your report triggers a punishment. Getting a notification is the exception not the rule.

Honestly, there's not much about the punishment system that you seem to understand correctly.

They aren't going to unban you because then they'd have to unban everyone you're not special

it's impossible for that to be your 1st ban, so you've had a 14 day ban before. And on that report card it clearly said that the next ban will be a permanent ban And how do you know that the other people didn't get banned?

cough it isn't possible for you to have had honor lvl for YEARS because the current honor system has been here for only few years

Money spent does not equate to being free from the rules that are in place. You have to realize that trolls and toxic players have figured out how to get under people’s skin. Don’t become another statistic, ignore the trolls/toxic players, mute them ingame and report their behavior.

The moment you stoop to their level and get into a shouting match they have won. I cannot stress this point enough- don’t retaliate against instigators and you won’t find yourself on the wrong end of a report. It’s a twisted tactic for sure but you must be smarter than the trolls and don’t let them make YOU into the toxic player.

No matter how long you play or how much money you spend, you're still subject to the same rules as everyone else.

If you went up the punishment ladder (10 game chat restriction, 25 game chat restriction, 14-day gameplay ban, permanent suspension) and didn't reform along the way, Riot won't be overturning your punishment. Sorry.

You can file a support ticket if you think it was made in error, otherwise that ban is indefinite.

When you got your 14 day ban it said that if you kept this crap up you would be banned.... you kept it up and you got banned. How long has it been since your 14 day? Where are the chat logs?
