Call me biased but receiving a 14 day ban for typical rage is uncalled for heres why

Darth Sidiouss··3 votes·713 views

This game in general is notoriously known for having high amounts of toxicity perhaps more than any other popular online game out there. It is in human nature to be angry its an emotion therefore you cant exactly force yourself to be angry it rather has to occur naturally. In a typical setting a 14 day ban should indicate that i have done something VERY VERY wrong, if i put a match in jeopardy out of spite or i threatened another player life or something.. not to mention i didn't even use any homophobic slurs .. Its basically a natural occurrence when someone comments to another player:

  1. Trash
  2. Really bad
  3. Bad
  4. Uninstall noob
  5. Noob

^^ very common just about any serious ranked match will consist of any of these, its typical trash talk wither its kids or grown ass men playing. The fact remains that they are commonly used and most people already have thick enough skin to tolerate most of it so when anger fuels us you expect us to just shut up? control an emotion? i rather say something in chat then punch my labtop screen god forbid. The fire has to shoot somewhere, i even receive comments from other players ALL THE TIME when they are upset with me, do i report them? no because im a grown ass man and i have thick skin, ill say something back time to time but i wont report unless that player is actually putting the match in jeopardy for selfish/needy reasons.

My point is a player shouldn't be banned for something as stupid as that honestly. If i did tell another player to kill themselves or use homo slurs then by all means ban me ! the community would surely be a better place without me. But in this case players have a mute button no? maybe we should enlarge it or remind players more frequently as after they report they still have thick enough skin to continue playing after all you never see any teenager legit crying because enemy zed called him trash like honestly whenever i did receive just an in game chat ban, the punishment was definitely justified like i felt like i deserved the punishment to an extent, but banning keyboard warriors is just overkill riot.

[sg-lulu] So give human beings a break for the excused have feelings too. Sincerely an evil person who deserved a 14 ban (sarcasm intended)

The mute button is not there to enable you to abuse/harass others. Those actions, abuse and harassment, are not normal, not natural, and not okay. Trying to normalize it is the reason that toxicity is so high in League.

Toxicity is high because of the match making system if someone goes into a match and goes 16 0 on Fizz and loses the game because of the "so & so" player, that average league player is likely to rage and blame his team because he felt like he did something, the effort was wasted anyone in that situation would FEEL something outta place its the damn foundation of match making that will always keep the game with toxicity, until "effort" is actually taken into consideration after matches players will never feel at ease.

You can either continue to try to convince Riot to change their rules to suit your attitude, (extremely unlikely) or you can suck it up and learn to follow the rules like the rest of us.

Claim some maturity, my dude.

So players cannot express themselves? Anyhow besides me having a "history" of crimes, nearly any player i come across is just as toxic as me. They just dont get reported or its too inconsistent to track for the system, i just happened to have several really bad matches within a certain time frame, i am just as sane as the average player. So now according to the system im just this guy who likes to look for problems when in reality im just someone trying to win like anyone else i dont actually mean to put someone down its just expression but the system cant differentiate that. That's whats wrong with receiving a 14 day ban rather than maybe an upper tier chat punishment.

The punishment does not suit the crime

Players are welcome to express themselves as long as that expression doesn't violate Riot's behavioral rules. There is not, however, "unlimited free speech with no consequences."

The average League player understands that in a team game such as League sometimes you'll get bad teammates, and sometimes you'll lose games. The average player does not rage at those facts.

this.

Honestly, your trying to justify yourself instead of reforming. You want to be excused for your lack of self control... Just remember that people who receive those types of escalated punishments are like .006% of the player base and you are in the minority.

I would advise you to take your ban seriously and work on reforming. Read through the rules and understand how you can avoid losing your account and everything you own on it. From what I can tell, it seems you probably don't understand the instances that led up to your 14-day. And if you do not understand this, then you will probably inadvertently receive a perma-ban as a consequence to not understanding the rules.

Oh yeah? so why in any other online game i have ever played i was never banned or received any punishment and why does league remain known as having one of the most toxic community, and players? perhaps the problem is deeper than the player.

.006% wouldn't earn league that nomination and its practically near meme territory. There is always more than one side to the story

We're talking about league not other games...

You probably have behaved differently in this game than you have in other games. Also, your idea that this game has an inherent toxic environment is encouraging your own complacent attitude towards your own toxicity and is probably why you escalated your punishment.

Other games also vary in what rules they decide to enforce; it just so happens that the community set the standards here and riot is enforcing them to be as stringent as they are. Just because other games decide to hold a certain leniency towards negative behavior does not mean that Riot should hold the same standards to their own game.

I would also say that there is also another side to the story you just presented us.

Normally it won't. But there are 4 levels of punishment:

  1. 10 game chat restriction
  2. 25 game chat restriction
  3. 14-day ban
  4. Permaban

Those things you say would normally yield a chat restriction only, but because of your history, the system has deemed you to be a repeat offender and escalated your punishment.

Your next punishment will be a permaban. Any small thing, even a small harassment like calling for reports, will get you a punishment. If you value your account, I suggest you /mute all at the begining of the game and stop typing anything.

Emphasis mine.

If you received chat restrictions before this ban, it's just the way the punishment system escalates naturally. If someone is flaming or harassing their teammates consistently enough to get reported a lot, they will move up the punishment tiers, even in the absence of hate speech or other zero tolerance behaviors.

So the issue here is most likely consistency of your behavior more than extremity.

A lot of us get frustrated at this game, but it's important to remember to keep useless whining and flaming out of the chat.

if you think

This game in general is notoriously known for having high amounts of toxicity perhaps more than any other popular online game out there.

Then it feels like you've generally never played many other competitive online games. Yes people are quick to "gg ez reported" but no one, and i mean, no one, is at fault for people being emotionally unstable except those who are. Riot is actively banning people who act toxic and it is a good thing. Look at games like CSGO where you can say whatever you want, where suicide suggestions, disease and death are things you'll hear nearly any game, which is a horrible thing as games often only go on for 10 minutes.

If a person on the internet calling you a name makes you so internally angry that you HAVE to express your anger by either destroying your computer or taking the responsibility for calling them out in-game, i am sorry but then it is completely your own fault you got a ban.

Oh and, as you said, this IS a very competitive game, which is exactly why punishments are so severe against emotionally unstable "ragers", because one single person making bad decisions because of their emotional state as well as calling others name can distract a team into a loss very easily, and quite often, does.

When i am toxic its never because of what someone has said rather what they DO in game that's what can piss me off otherwise in most matches i barely talk unless its important. The game is also very snow-bally at present when your losing you can pretty much say you lost not being negative towards things but knowing the obvious now n days
