Riot Ruined League for Me.

Well I've played league since about 2010 and I've had quite a few permabanned accounts since then. I am at the point of just giving up on the game completely it is such a flawed system. I have lost so much hard earned cash and time spent over the past few years simply due to Riot's flawed system that is used by immature people in dynamic que's together that target report you after each game. Now everyone will say "don't be toxic", Sorry for being competitive and occasionally getting angry at another summoner for intentionally ruining your game or taking something from you in game and they don't receive any type of punishment because they didn't type anything. I was Gold 2 at my peak after this many years simply due to having to restart OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I literally can't even have fun with this game anymore because I have to sit back and think "wow I don't have anything anymore, none of my skins, my rank, and my time spent". You need to learn to give people second chances Riot, especially players that have always been loyal to the game and have even promoted YOUR GAME to their friends. Which I have done plenty, you sit back and don't care because the company is loaded you don't even think about how the individual player feels this company is all about mass market. I love league but Riot has taken everything from me and I can't even have fun with the game anymore, and their supports you can send emails to are like robots they don't care about what happened or how it happened they will do nothing to help you. Everyone has bad days and Riot needs to learn to give more leniency on these matters. I know I'm not the only person this has happened too, None of my money was ever refunded either, Riot ruined League for me.

Wasn't Riot that ruined LOL to you. It was you who got it to yourself. If anyone here ruined LOL to anyone, it was to to many other ppl. How do you think many other players felt after playing with you?

Riot is very lenient... and if you have a bad day once in a while, it is fine. This is what happens to me. Now, when your 'bad days' are every day, and you're always taking your bad days out on everyone else around you... That's when it's no longer 'bad days' and you're a toxic person. Riot ruined league for you? I bet you ruined league for at least a handful of people with your toxicity.

I feel u bro, i had so many bad games with my team not to mention those who clearly have no clue in the whole game and just getting killed and died for so many times; or those teemo support wannabe who doesnt work on simple kiting mechanics on teemo; and i just realised that even u played so hard to climb ranks and end up another season u get to start from bronze (due to low ranked games played in pre season) and like placement isnt telling where u belong anymore; people dont even give a shit of either they win or not; having a bad game? Meh, imma troll; having an afk? Meh, lets mid open and wait the game to end

ITT people who think writing 50 page essays whining about being toxic doesn't make them look toxic AND immature.

The one thing League taught me.is how to.flame in a polite form that doesn't get me banned.

Okay, a couple of things here.

Riot does give people second chances. In fact, they give people at least 3 chances before permabanning them for toxic behavior. Punishments are on a 4-strike system of sorts (1st strike=10-game chat restriction, 2nd strike=25-game chat restriction, 3rd strike=2-week ban, 4th strike=Permanent ban) and players can actually skip chat restrictions altogether if the behavior shown is extremely bad (i.e. death threats, racist comments, intentionally leaving/afking in games, etc.).
If people show and put forth the actual effort to change their behavior for the better then they are given more chances to play the game without fear of being permabanned right away if they slip up once or twice every now and then.
You say that you've had multiple accounts permabanned. This means that you knew that the behavior you were consistently exhibiting wasn't okay and yet you continued on with it anyways. Riot gave you plenty of chances and you blew them, so if anyone is to blame here it's you for refusing to change your behavior for the better while you still had the chances to do so there.
Riot has ways of tracking peoples smurf accounts, so if they see that someone is trying to evade their punishments by playing on their smurf accounts then they'll just ban all of their accounts on the spot. Lower leveled accounts are also judged more harshly than higher leveled accounts are for this reason as well.
If someone else behaved poorly and you reported them for it then eventually they will be punished in due time if they keep it up. However, someone else behaving poorly does not mean that you can behave poorly yourself and get away with it as well as you can't. If someone refuses to stop behaving poorly then just mute them, report them and move on. If you retaliate then both of you will be punished, it's really just that simple.
If you wish to discuss your most recent ban then please post your entire unedited Reform Card either here in this thread or in a separate thread entirely. This forum is not a place for Yesman answers, but for people seeking actual help on their punishments and/or things related to the behavioral systems that are in place as well also.
Please use paragraphs when making long posts, as not very many people are gonna want to sit through and read just one big block of text.

Remember: not everyone who causes you to lose a game is doing it intentionally. Some people are still learning, or are just having a really bad day.

I've been playing since 2010 and I can't even climb to gold, so count your blessings.

The one thing you learn in Leagues is shit talking etiquette. You have to do it properly, and with finesse. You can't be child like, and you have to be the adult of the situation. I have been playing leagues since 2010 and I have never been ban. But I have talked alot of shit. Never feed, never go afk, and always play your best. Sometimes it is good to ignore other toxic people. Sometimes it's good to make them look foolish and get them ban if the whole team is willing to report them. But you gotta be smart about it.

PREACH !!!! fuck riot they are all about money and nothing else thats the ugly truth that some fanbois refuse to see.

I played a bad matchup mid, had a Diana flaming me and Morgana support. Reported her and while in the next champ select(2 minutes later) I received notification that she got punished. Also I play more normals now as it's the community that goes like "OMG I'M BRONZE I WANT THAT MMR AND SILVER BORDER" or that silver player that "OMG I WANT GOLD BORDER AND FREE SKIN" and flame you. Also playing normals means less pressure on you, as you can try new metas and stuff like that.

You should try heroes of the Storm if you're permanent banned in league. Some may even consider it the better moba. Cheers and sure just play in premades. Randoms will report you but your premade won't.

What? They've shown ample leniency. You received warnings, temporary chat bans, prolonged chat bans, temporary bans, and THEN a permanent ban. All this on MULTIPLE accounts? You deserve to be permanently banned. I hope you never come back. The community will be a much better place without you.
