Unfairly Suspended for 14 Days

Joyfully·8/22/2018, 5:10:16 PM·4 votes·9,726 views

Hello fellow summoners,

I was recently suspended for 14 days because of "abusive, player reported comms." Before anybody searches up my op.gg , I'll save you the trouble. I admit to being a Yasuo main. Regardless, I don't think a 14 day suspension was necessary for my punishment. There were only two games in question, only one of which where I could find any sort of negativity. I felt like a chat restriction would have been more appropriate in this case. I'm seeking the community's advice and thoughts on my punishment to determine whether or not it is justified.

Chat logs for those who are interested.

Thanks in advance,

Yasuo main seeking guidance.

You just came off a penalty days ago, and are continuing with this behavior. To be honest, you're lucky this time was only a 14-day ban.

Have you had prior chat restrictions? And if so, when?

Insulting other players is against the rules. You break the rules, you get punished. Because it is an escalating punishment system and you previously had chat restrictions, you now have a 2 week ban. That's how this works. After the end of the two week ban, your account is very close to a permanent ban. People commonly get permanently banned in the first 1 or 3 games they play after the ban. Avoid any chat that could be reported, regardless of the circumstance. If you want to keep your account, you should stick to the kindergarten rule: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

If the ban system worked efficiently then half the LoL community would cease to exist.

Game 1 is nothing but flaming and rankshaming. Game 2 you are clearly trying to troll your team, also gg ez spam after loosing makes it even more look like you wanted to loose the game.

As a player in your 0/0 Nunu game I'd say you deserve a 14 day ban regardless of reason.

You sounded like a complete D-bag in game 1. Game 2 sounda like a having a laugh but you must've done something for someone to report you. Never say disco while playing nunu I guess

I've never had anyone chat so much in any of my games. Honestly, that first game made you look more toxic than the elephant's foot. I would totally report and chat ban you for just that. I'm not aware of any of your previous games, but if it's anything like this and happens more than a few times, I think you should be banned.

Second game had more of a sillier tone, I don't know the context of it, but that alone shouldn't have gotten you banned.

You do do the thing I, and I'm sure lots of others hate most, and that's being a sore winner. "Stay in silver", "I did better than you amumu", "honor me fellas", and most annoyingly, spamming "GGEZ" in post game. I have a feeling you do this in every game. Sure, RIOT might not ban you for being a sore winner, rubbing it in so hard puts you in the cusp of being reported. Combine that with the utterly disgusting toxicity of the first game, and you deserve to be banned. I wouldn't go as far as to say permabanned, but a temp ban just as a warning.

TL;DR: You chat too much, you're a sore winner, and that first game pushed you into the banning point

I feel like a chat restriction would have been a better option as you did not grief and abusive comms was the only thing reported.

I don't like when these posts start out saying “unfairly” because that's obviously up for debate

Toxic AF. If it were up to me you'd be permabanned.

JustcallmeSoul8/23/2018, 1:08:44 PM1 votes

Let's begin shall we? As I break this down for you, try to remember that I have been playing the game for more than 8 years, and that in that time my account has received maybe one warning from a time when punishment was based on the Tribunal of your peers and not the current system.

Game One and toxic behavior: "Sorry bout the afk" leads me to believe that you were actively and intentionally afk at some point during your ranked match. can't tell how long or what the reason is, but AFK is reportable. "ez game noobs" can't tell if this is all chat or team chat, but it isn't likely to matter. noob is not exactly a term of endearment and while I personally do not find it all that insulting, other players will, and even if they don't report you for calling them noob, it does nothing to improve their attitude toward you. " get clapped, garbage, back to bots boys" All phrases that, like noob, actively insult and openly shame players. This is the beginning of toxic behavior, so while you're not using profanity or calling anyone out directly, it IS toxic and WILL negatively impact your teammates. Then there is the absolute atrocity of the post-game chat. Don't do this. Post-game is not safe. if you won, move on to your next game. if you lost, move on to your next game. There is absolutely no reason to behave this way in post chat. Some key phrases that will easily get you reported: "Go back to bots. You guys are terrible. you should go back to normals. stay in silver." making fun of other player's rank. "you guys are garbage, you should uninstall" This is the picture of toxicity in League of Legends. Game 1 alone easily earned you at least 3, probably more like 5 or 6 individual instances of bannable behavoir, and as people have already said: Coming off another punishment without any correction in behavior shows that you require more punishment. Tyler1 should not be who you strive to be.

Game Two and toxic behavior: Pre Game: generally speaking nothing in pre game chat is all that bad on its own, as it appears to be directed mostly at yourself, once again however, acting this way does nothing to make your team like you. if people like you, they usually wont report you if you have one or two disparaging comments at the state of the game. In Game: "i like that attitude of yours, might cost us the game" now i know that we cant see what he said, but this is highlighted as another statement that does not make people like you. special note: this is the first time i see profanity, i assume that these were mild games for you in the profanity department, but just don't curse. just don't. best advice. So here we come onto a stream of comments that appear to be you arguing with another player that was upset with how you're playing. this was catalyzed by your pre-game comments as clearly the first thing the other person said was something like "no wonder you have garbage winrate" while I don't feel that it is toxic to attempt to defend yourself, many many people will simply report both of the people who were arguing. if another player is being toxic to you, make use of the mute button found by holding tab and looking for the megaphone near their name. "2girls1Michael: guys 2girls1Michael: want a dance party 2girls1Michael: I got disco 2girls1Michael: singed 2girls1Michael: come to your red 2girls1Michael: I'll bring you a treat" Clearly, this is you in all chat either attempting to bait the enemy team into a bad fight in their jungle, or you attempting to start intentional feeding. Turn off all chat. you'll vastly reduce your number of reports if you do, as long as you also follow my advice and never talk in post game chat. more all chat more all chat more all chat ggez spam. spamming is also a bannable offence, not to mention that doing so is 100% likely to bring unwanted attention to your account. It's almost like you want the entire enemy team to report you... Post Game: Just dont talk in post game. stop it. why do people do this. you start off begging for honor (not bannable but certainly dishonorable and uncool) after a game where it appears that you were feeding early, drawing unwanted attention to yourself, and then at the end of the game trying to dance with the enemy team and broadcasting your location in all chat. none of this is honorable gameplay. You proceed to put down another player, talk about how you're better than them, and then insult their ranking again. pretty consistent toxic behavior.

In Summary: Yes. your 14 day ban is deserved if and only if you're coming off of prior punishment, which you are. No, I would not be sad to see your account perma-banned. If you don't turn this kind of behavior around you're going to be permabanned. End of Story. My advice is this: TURN OFF ALL CHAT. STOP SPAMMING. DON'T SAY EZ. seriously, i report so many people for this, often times members of my team. just don't do it. i dont care if the score was 58/2 and you took all 9 towers yourself. I dont care how easy the game was. say Good Game and move on. DON'T TALK IN POST GAME CHAT. I really can't emphasize this enough. DO NOT TALK IN POST GAME CHAT. nope... still not enough emphasis.

  • bonus edit: You should probably think about changing that name of yours as well. At best it shows that you're the cocky playah type that mostly just comes off as douche-ey. If you want to turn your account around and not be permabanned you need to ACTIVELY start improving your relationships with random players. First impressions matter, and I'm alot more willing to be understanding with a player who doesn't have a name that makes me think of a meathead with frosted tips and a way too tight white polo.

First off, I'd like to say I don't report people often. This is mostly because I've had bad days where I've flamed and usually take a minute and apologize. But yeah, if you've had previous reports that have been enforced, I'd wager that gets taken into account. You seem like an intelligent, thoughtful person so just try not chatting, keeping your head on straight and taking a day or two off while you're on tilt. Cheers, and GL.

Maybe wait until you actually get out of silver before you start flaming people for being silver.

You clearly have issues with your attitude, and this isn't something that Riot can do anything about. Use the time while you're banned to take a break from League, get outside and get some fresh air, spend some time with friends and family and reassess how you treat people.

so if you are high elo then you gotta realise trash talkin doesnt get you anything. all it does is take away from someone else. without a single doubt if you have skills and mechanics and macro awareness then why limit yourself to the chat box. i guess i cant talk much because the moment i realize someone is trolling while im giving it my all i lose my shit. but why step on lesser players? thats like in an mmo you make it to max level then you go kill people who are new and leveling. why? why kill your games fanbase? why smack talk silvers?
