I WAS BANNED FOR SAYING DRAVEN. SINGLE WORD. THATS IT.

CinderMoon··233 votes·40,929 views

I was banned for 2 weeks for saying Draven after pinging.

I am considered a reformed player. I do not speak in game, and do not consider myself as toxic.

Riot, please respond and fix my situation

I'm crying right now. Made my fuckin night, keep it real big brother hehe xd Draven

This just in, Riot now considers Draven to have fully transformed into Tyler 1 and playing the champion is a bannable offense.

rofl, I laughed so hard when I saw this post too. It's just waaaay too funny.

I guess ever since Tyler1 was banned from League Riot has been paranoid about peps becoming into one of them.

Imagine if i got banned for spamming a bunch of Dravens.

As a Draven main I am really concerned. xD

Same man, I main draven on this account and 3 other smurf accounts because I am SO afraid of being banned for playing him. I'm not toxic I literally FEEL this post. I was literally on the floor laughing for a good 3 mins. I'm still catching my breath.

Those aren't the complete logs. I can provide them for you.

I initially thought it was photoshopped (and a damn good job!), because I see that a lot, but realize you just got a bugged reform card.

I can post the logs for you here, or you can write in to player support.

There was a special character after 'Draven' that broke the card with some new reform card improvements.

Expose me Tantram. Expose me for the filthy toxic person I am.

There they are, the full chat logs.

Thank you for posting them.

You guys need to fix your reform cards, I am glad that I have brought attention to this subject.

Thank you.

I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I actually already walked the issue over to our client engineer who took the followed steps:

1.) It breaks from what? 2.) /facepalm /sigh 3.) Fixed for next release.

So after my ban is lifted, will I have some ridiculous amount of games to play for chat ban or am I good on that?

The Ecdysiast2 votes

But where's the hate speech, or death threats, or anything warranting punishment? All there is here is the typical dialogue you'll see by the very nature of this game.

And not one comment is directed towards a summoner-- every one just names a champion.

It's unreasonable to ask players in a competitive PvP team game to talk as if this were a Player vs. AI game. It just doesn't happen.

And anyone who didn't want to hear his crap had the option to mute him, with no strategic downside because he was on the enemy team.

RiotRiot Tantram74 votes

Hate Speech noun "speech that attacks, threatens, or insults a person or group on the basis of national origin, ethnicity, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability."

You're fucking boosted %%%got, that was my first death fucking so gay

There's also a lot of unsportsmanlike text in there.

Kinetika9 votes

Hate speech aside, that little section where he basically says "I'm better than all you motherf*ckers" would have been enough for me to report him. You should make a report category called "Rick James" for this sort of stuff.

"I'm one of the baddest motherfckers of all time, one of the best singers and one of the best looking motherfckers you've ever seen! ... Hold my drink bitch!"

i like your summoner name Tantram. and use of definitions. the offense is obvious now that the full chat logs have been posted. i was like... woah. glad to see it's just a scripting error or whatever.

this should still become a meme though.

This community is full of pussies. They are words for crying out loud. When you go to football games do you see people cheering their rivals when theyre winning? No, they boo them because they are "toxic". Lol. You kids in this community keep trying to compare eSports to actual sports, but if a few little words hurt you then you will never be as big as real sports.

RiotRiot Tantram20 votes

I'm a huge football fan, and have gone to 8+ games a year for the last 10 years of my life. I played 12 years of hockey when I was younger. I have a pretty good understanding of sportsmanship.

I can tell you for a fact, you would be escorted out by security if you start calling people %%%gots. Booing is one thing, person attacks are yet another. Certain things are accepted in society, and certain things are not. Just like certain things in League are tolerated. The last Rams home game, I saw a women get kicked out for refusing to sit so the children seated behind her could see.

If the enemy team gets a kill and you write 'boooo' in all-chat (or the ever popular 'you got lucky') ... people understand that. If the enemy team gets a kill and you type '%%%got' .. yeah, that's not going to fly.

It's very easy to compartmentalize what we consider acceptable online and in person. For some reason people think they can say anything they'd like online because they are behind a screen. I can guarantee you that if I walked up to you at a bar and started to read some of the chat logs you think are acceptable, you wouldn't receive it too well.

Sometimes, the system fails to include more games with chat that triggered the punishment; however, if the punishment is valid, then Player Support has access to additional logs which they can provide to you so that you can perhaps identify behavior that you can change to prevent a permanent suspension.

If it doesn't then that should tell you that the system has a MAJOR flaw in it.. something that should be actually looked into, maybe even taken that system off line while it's being worked. As a player, you should make it known TO THE PLAYER exactly what triggered it, what game triggered it, etc. It's honestly a bad business practice to basically FLAT OUT LIE to it's player base about why they can not play their game.

And apparently does include chat that has absolutely nothing to do with the ban? Or are you just not going to address that very key part?

But they won't...

Oh shoot, you're right! In cases where a player is intentionally feeding/throwing/etc, the system may issue a suspension and provide a "chat log" if players report for reasons like "Harassment", etc. Thanks for the reminder.

Now it is silly that they quoted that log in particular, but 2 week suspensions happen after you've had many reports, not just one. Chat logs are one of MANY things they look at.

This is clear proof of why the tribunal is a piece of crap system. Honestly you could get x9 reports on you for literally no reason or just not by saying anything, for ex: 4 man premade and you do bad they all decide to report you for int'ing or just something else, there's 4x the report, and somewhere down the line you get another report for no reason at all, there goes x(x) reports.

Riot doesn't give a damn about what you said, it's LITERALLY ONLY how many reports you receive down the line, such garbage.
