Perma ban (Anyone have tips for less toxic behavior?)

So I have never been in a community such as league, got a computer just last year! In all other games it is fine to trash talk and such, or not taken severely, so at first i thought it was fine. My friends and I have cursed and such before, all in good fun, but one I got a 10 game chat restriction. Was confused at first, but later understood I wasnt suppose to play around like that. So i reformed and for months did fine. Tho habits dont just disappear! I reverted back to my damn ways and got 25 chat restrictions. I further read the rules and made to never let it happen again. This leads me to today.

I was doing a league marathon, rare day, was home alone so no interruptions. So i played a few games, but i got some truely terrible team mates. I gnored them all except for the last 4. So after constant abuse and ping spams to where i couldnt trust if the danger ping was real, i retorted back. SO for 2 more games my bad attitude followed me, so 3 terrible game convos from me. Im mid queue and lock in my newly purchased darius, after watching a couple videos of full ad darius! I saved up all week for this moment, and game was just about to launch when a message pops up! "Youre account has been suspended for 14 days, check your email for more information"

I sent a ticket with some questions, i believe after 2 months of no chat restrictions i should know how the restrictions work better, because clearly i wasnt understanding. So i check my email..... check again 4 minutes later.... Nothing. So i attempt to login in because i hate afk's and didnt want me team to deal with it since i was top, and it lets me!! Im wowed before i get the harassment.... Im getting grieved for my afk.

I play fine and dandy, explained what happen, they dont care. I ask kindly to be watched, or babysat more like it because this was my first real darius game. and i was nervous with the whole suspension thing over my head. My jg trolls me by ping hes going in and then leaving me alone as he walks away just as he hits the top bush. SO this results in 3 repeat all ins when he apologize search times and looks like hes going in, just to let me die and take the kill. Then came the grief and constant pings from bot as they blamed me for the inevitable loss. you can mute the entire team, but when they queue and ping you constantly you lose control. I spam the muted chat, i had my team mute and just spammed stuff like asdafxdacf. I was unaware they still got my chat messages even if i muted them! So this doubles there efforts so i unmute and let them have it! They were in all chat talking smack about me, and even the other team was trying to defend me! but we lose afterall...

Afterward, i test out my suspension and of course, wont let me join a game. Im editing my ticket for riot when a message pops up. " You have been perma banned" Wat. I thought i need my suspension to go through first??

I dont know what im looking to hear from you guys, but i guess i wanted to let myside of the story come out. I reported the harassment and no messages from any game pop up about them being punished. Ive played for about 8 months id say, and i dont understand why afks arent punished as harshly as 'toxicity'? My friends merely laughed at me, one telling me he had a 30 day suspension for afks before. How can afks be viewed as lesser evil to me saying, "I just bought darius you idiot"??

Sorry for my rant. Honestly im just saddend that i lost my first ever league account. Ive waste 90 dollars in it, and while some have wasted a lot more, im 17 and that was during the school year when i had no job, so my chores got me at best $20 every 2-3 weeks. I worked for every skin, long before hextech was released. So i am sad and honestly would cry over a game XD. I hope i am allowed to make a new account at least? It tooks me 4 months to get lvl 30 so it may take me awhile, but perhaps its what it takes for me to learn my lesson??

So am i allowed to make a new account and if so do you all have any tips for less toxic behavior? Obviously me muting everyone has little affect for soothing my rage. So any advice is appreciated! Thank you for reading and im sorry about my behavior!

tip 1. Don't wait until you are permabanned to ask for tips. tip 2. Take a second to consider how you appear to others when you flame people. tip 3. Appreciate that you are just one human speaking to other humans. tip 4. Realize that when you are gone, the only thing that will live on are the impressions you have left upon others. You can either be the guy who helps out the people in need, gives without asking in return, makes the world a better place to live in... Or the guy who rages at strangers in a video game. Your choice.

  1. Listen to inspiring music.
  2. Think positive, you are not the problem, they are.
  3. If you are in a lane, don't focus on what your teammates are doing. Just focus your lane. If they are annoying let them do 4v4, 4v5.
  4. Don't go in until you are certain jungler goes in.
  5. Think funny, imagine them sitting at their home and crying because they lost. Always think it funny when they are being annoying, because that makes them the problem not you.

P.S. You can make a new account. I am sorry for your loss.

You can unbind the Enter hotkey that lets you chat (put something else on it, like laugh), and I think you can actually remove the window entirely. Especially with the new batch of pings coming in, it can help you cool off before saying something you might regret later without impairing your gameplay too much.

I don't understand why ... you need help being less toxic. Just dont be toxic its simple as fuk.

Well, since you asked for advice, mine would be that if you feel that you are getting really upset for whatever reason (like aggravating teammates, as in your "marathon" anecdote, or even just having a bad day in general), stop playing. Find something else to do for a while. Listen to a fun song, go for a walk, whatever. Just take some time relaxing. Can't be toxic to other players if there are no other players to be toxic to.
