Perma Ban Appeal (Was it an Accident?)

So I was playing a ranked match today and I've had a lot of particularly bad games in the past couple days. I've reported several team mates for harassment and toxic behavior because I wasn't playing my best etc. or they were intentionally feeding, things of the like. In my last ranked game I was doing pretty well, our team was looking good, although I made a couple mistakes and ended up falling behind pretty quickly because of a Corki player who dove into several enemies by himself then continued to blame me for my 'trolling.' Other colorful comments were made by this player that required me to mute him for the rest of the game, but I toughed it out and continued to play with my three-man queue partners. The game did not end well for us unfortunately, and I was relieved when I got report feedback stating that the Corki had been penalized, but seconds later I was permanently banned from my League of Legends account. I might have been rude to Corki after being antagonized, but is that really grounds for a permanent ban? I've never had restrictions on this account. I assumed this was a mistake, but if someone from Riot support team could shed some light on this situation I'd really appreciate it and if I was considered offensive and worthy of a ban, please inform me of the reasoning so I can fix my issues and regain my account if at all possible. I also posted a screen shot of my client to show my feedback and permanent ban status. Hope this was a mistake. Everyone has bad games.

While most accounts generally go through multiple steps before reaching a permanent ban, if your behavior is extreme enough it is possible to be escalated straight to a permanent ban without having received any prior punishments. Examples of behavior that could do this are stuff like hate speech, racism, death threats/encouraging suicide, etc.

Now, if you want to, you can post all of your chat logs here and I or someone else could point out what may have caused an escalation to a permanent ban. If you want to contact Riot Support directly, though, then your best bet would be to submit a ticket, if you haven't already. Try to be patient, though, as it may take a few days to get a response. Also, don't bump your ticket unless you absolutely have to, as that will send you to the back of the queue, causing you to wait longer.

You have the chat logs in that very picture itself. Post them.

The only time they perma without warnings would be hate speech. What does it say in the logs?

I think you're better off not lying about what you meant when you asked Corkinifnhe had downs. From the context, it's clear you're not asking about flash. Lol

That seems like an unusual mis-type, to go from thinking "flash down" to typing "do you have downs". Riot has a no tolerance policy with regards to hate-speech to protect it's player base from the sort of people who would snap out something like that in anger. After quite a few years of playing this game, I don't disagree with their policy with regards to that. I wouldn't be in favor of them enforcing permabans for just any infraction of the TOS, but with regards to racial, homophobic and disability slurs, I do agree with having the stricter policy.

Cgnus: you guys are tilting me

This comment alone should make you realize you don't have the emotional control to play sports, and/or video games or anything competitive. Learn to stop being a child.

I mean, it was already placed under extra consideration if they manually escalated your ban.

If your last ban was a 14-day one, then this is a natural progression of the ban process. The next punishment after the 14-day is perma.

Did you recently receive a 25 game restriction?
