How to guide on avoiding being suspended or banned permanently.
Have you found yourself teetering on the edge of the Summoner's Rift, and falling into a black hole of bad games and can't stand how toxic everyone seems to be, and thus you yourself want to get revenge and also be Toxic to give all those trolls and griefers what they deserve?
Me too! But don't do that! I want you to keep your precious skins, and the account you spent hours leveling up, so here is a simple guide to not getting your account suspended or banned permanently.
Rule Number 1. Don't troll champ select, (DON'T INSTALOCK its a dick move) let everyone have their roles and give up your role if possible. Don't insult others here. Also, ask politely if you can have the role you want it, and be respectful if they decline your request. Also if you pick a troll champ, explain yourself to avoid other flaming, afking, or inting.
Rule Number 2. Don't talk to other players unless you have to, and if you do, only say things that include compliments, or in game strategy. If you waste time chatting, you're probably going to throw off people's focus or cause someone to flame. If you are trying to shotcall, remember you are dealing with children in many cases, and they don't want to be bossed around, so watch out for how you deliver your shot calling, ask nicely, or reiterate you're only trying to help the team win and advise. Don't order people, ask them to help in a nice way that doesn't place blame.
Rule Number 3. Don't blame players when they die, even if you do not blame, some players will flame just from the death. Offer assistance or some advice on a course of action to move forward. Blaming and shaming players is demeaning, and against the Summoner's Code.
Rule Number 4. Don't feed, Flame, or AFK. Those things really don't need any explanation, and if you do any of those things, you'll likely get reported by multiple people and it will eventually lead to a suspension if habitually continued.
Rule Number 5 IMPORTANT TO READ If you start losing games due to emotions, getting upset, and see yourself losing 3-4 games in a row, you're on the path to tilting, and need to take a break. Even a 15 minute break to clear your head, talk about something else, or eat something good is a nice way to relax. These games can be aggravating and stressful, so don't forget to give yourself a break, and maybe knock out a few push ups or some kind of exercise to let off some steam. The worst thing is to go on TILT and keep playing because you may not be prepared to keep cool, and someone might set you off, and this could be the difference between keeping your account, and losing your account to Perma Ban.
This is just a basic guide, and seeing that a lot of people come to these forums with their examples of how they got banned, I thought I would do my part and try to help those players who struggle with this. Follow my guidelines here and you should be fine. If I left anything out here, please comment and let me know, also if this has helped in any way, I would also like to know about it. Thanks and have a good game.
