First Time Ban is Perma - Explanation/Appeal (Please Hear Me Out)

55802074DEL1··4 votes·2,046 views

Hi there! If you are reading this, then I thank you for taking the time to read this post. For those of you who don't wanna read all of this I have written a TL;DR on the bottom.

My name is Max. I'm a 15 year old freshman in High School going onto Sophomore year. My username is xLitheon on the NA server.

Now I know that many people will dismiss me saying that I deserved a perm ban for being toxic, etc. But please read completely so therefore I can give you the best image of who I am and my situation.

So for the past couple of days. I haven't been playing ranked much and the 3 games that I was reported for, I was playing Ranked Flex with my friends just having fun.

I have gotten chat restrictions before. And I have completed all of them. I believe I have only gotten 3 chat restrictions as apart of my punishments.

A few of my friends that have been banned for toxicity before have only gotten 2-Week bans for the first time.

I honestly am not sure what to say or what to do.

I got banned last night. I got off, and tried to fall asleep unsuccessfully.

I was questioning why they permanently banned me for the first time that I have gotten a ban. I believe the only punishments that I have gotten before regarding toxicity were chat restrictions. I got 3 chat restrictions. One in November (10 Game), One in January (25 Game), and the last one was in April (25 Game).

I honestly thought that if I did get a ban it would be for 1 or 2 weeks.

I couldn't sleep well at all, only got about 5.5 hrs. I was having nightmares/panic attacks and was awaking from my sleep frequently because of this.

I have finals in the next few days and because of this I'm having an extreme lack of motivation. It's affecting my life outside of it.

I am also having stress-induced asthma attacks that I usually get before a sporting event. But when it happened for this it was extreme. I have been coughing nonstop since the ban, till now. It's affecting my health negatively.

Now you might be asking. "Why are you so worried/sad?" I have spent 110$, 1200+ hours, and majority of my online friends are on that account. My past year is on that account.

I appealed to Riot asking them to at least reduce to a temporary ban. I know that I'm an idiot. I know that I shouldn't have said what I have said. But I promise, on my life, I will reform. I will never ever be toxic again if I do get my ban lifted. I am asking wholeheartedly from the bottom of my heart for them to please reconsider my ban.

Because of this I can't play and I don't know what to do at the moment. It's Memorial Day, I didn't ask to hang out with any of my friend yesterday or today. I really want to play champions such as Katerina, Ekko, and Twisted Fate for fun. But every time I have that thought I realize that I have been banned.

Here are the chat logs that I have been banned for. I know there are homophobic slurs in my chat logs, and to all of my friends and people in the LGBTQ+ community. I am sorry. I will sincerely not use your sexuality as an insult. It is 2017 after all. Also, in my logs I wasn't racist in any sort of way. If that helps at all.

https://pastebin.com/DJuFXbNJ

Context on the games that I are in question.

Game 1 The first game in which I was toxic, the BlitzCrank on the other team was beating me in lane and was saying to "Get Out", "Stay Out", "So ez", etc. I know that I shouldn't have let this got to me. I know I should've muted him. But I didn't. I also realize that I was flaming our WarWick, even before the laning phase and that was because I was a douchebag/asshole and I shouldn't have done that.

Game 2 This was when I was playing ranked flex w/ my friend Brandon. The beginning part of flaming was actually a mutual joke as you can see here: http://prntscr.com/fdkgt7 The rest was me calling the rest of the team idiots. Now I know I did this way to much. It was in part influenced by the fact that I had a higher rank than most of them. I know I shouldn't have done that but all I did was just repeatedly call them idiots. The worst thing was "Fucking idiots" Game 3 This was when I played a game of Lee Sin. I did extremely well in the early game getting 15 kills at around 20 mins. I carried hard from the early game. And all I can say for myself is that I was being cocky, arrogant, and a dick to my team and the enemy team. I kept calling myself "clean" when I'm far from a "clean" Lee Sin player. And overall I was just being a bad team mate.

On a side note - If you guys want I could upload these matches unlisted on YouTube. Whilst I was in these matches I was using plays.tv All 3 of these matches have me and a friend in them so you can see the voice comms and how I'm not really verbally abusing anyone out loud. I was just doing it because I'm a cocky bastard.

In conclusion, I'm not saying I don't deserve punishment. That fact is obvious. All I am asking for is a second chance. I have talked to a few people and they said that a first time ban being permanent is way too far. And I am just asking for the ban to be put as temporary. I know that I'm a toxic player. But I promise sincerely and from the bottom of my heart for them to make this ban temporary. I will reform. And that is a promise. I really don't want to lose an account that I worked extremely hard for. I would also like to ask you guys what you think about this. Therefore I have put a poll asking what you guys think about the ban/punishment. Once again, words cannot explain how sorry I am to all the people that I have offended and hurt by making these comments. I can't even explain in words how to even show how much I'm asking to be forgiven. I'm wholeheartedly asking Riot for a second chance. Since I never got a chance the redeem/reform myself. I didn't even have a temporary ban before the permanent.

TL;DR - I'm Max a 15 year old Freshman in High school. League has been my main hobby outside of school since August. I have recently gotten permanently banned for toxicity. Now I'm not saying that I'm not toxic but I feel like the ban was extremely harsh. I have gotten 3 punishments of chat restrictions. And I have completed all of them. The toxicity that has made me receive this ban has only been from the past 2 days of playing. I feel like that is hardly an amount of time and number of games to really see me as a player. I promise you I'm not usually toxic. I just have those spikes in behaviors sometimes, and I will work my hardest towards fixing it. Anyway, the ban has been affecting my outside life. My sleep quality has deteriorated, I'm receiving panic attacks, and I'm also feeling lack of motivation, knowing that my account can be gone forever. The past year has been on that account and I know I shouldn't have done the things I did, but if Riot gives me a chance to prove myself I promise that I will not let them down. In ANY circumstance. The reason I'm making a forum post is to see my fellow summoner's opinion on this matter. Knowing that it could possibly help my case. If you guys could take the poll below for me I would strongly appreciate it. Thank you once again. And I'm sorry for all the people that I have offended once again.

If you have read this then I thank you once again for taking your time to look into me and my situation. If you could put your opinion on the poll below that would help me a lot as well.

Thank you.

Edit 1 : It's been about 20 Hours since the ban and I haven't received any sort of e-mail regarding the details or context of the ban.

Edit 2 : Thank you so much to all the people so far that have commented. I really do appreciate you taking the time to give your opinion / look into me and my situation.

Edit 3 : If you guys still want to read, but I have screenshots of the appeal that I have sent to Riot. I really do hope that you could look into this and see my situation from there.

So to be clear, this is not your first punishment. You've had three sets of chat restrictions in the past half a year or so. Typically another punishment would result in a 2-week ban. However, there are cases where players can skip a tier. One of the fastest ways to skip a tier (sometimes multiple) is to go around spewing hate speech. Which you at least acknowledge that you did, and it is right there in the logs you link to (several times, actually). Especially given your history of punishments, I'm not really surprised that these logs have you skipping a tier. Looking closer, you have much more to work on than the hate speech, too. There's hardly anything positive in your chat logs at all. And you seem to love calling your teammates idiots, and generally harassing them all game long.

The chat restrictions from the past should have made it plainly clear that your behavior isn't welcome in league, and that you needed to make a change. Is there a reason that you were waiting on a 2-week ban to clean up your act instead?

Kei1436 votes

if you don't understand the punishment ladder, it goes as follows:

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

Extreme toxicity (such as the use of homophobic / racial slurs or telling them to harm themselves) can skip punishment tiers.

Playing lots of games without toxicity can drop punishment tiers.

If you've gotten 3 chat restrictions and then jumped to permaban, chances are you were extremely toxic and thus skipped the 14-day ban.

There is never a reason to use homophobic / racial slurs. Neither is there a point to tell others to harm themselves.

55802074DEL11 votes

I know how the tier system works from doing research since the ban. I know that I have not been a good person by using homophobic slurs. But I haven't told anyone to harm them self. As for the constant toxicity. The chat logs that I have been banned for have come from yesterday, and the day before. I can promise you I wasn't behaving in a toxic manner for weeks before that. The last restriction I had was early April. And that was slipping up from 4 months of my last punishment. Thank you however for your opinion.

Kei1435 votes

punishment since april is pretty close. Your behavioral frequency / History along with the homophobic slurs, it will certainly bump you to permaban.

Hope you learn from this experience and don't use those slurs where ever you decide to be in the future.

Chermorg4 votes

While I sympathize with you and do hope you can reform if your ban is reduced, I for one think that it would be better for you to focus on why it happened and, if you choose to make a new account and return, focus on not making the same mistakes again.

I was 15 once. I was in high school once. I know that the way you behave in the logs you posted is how kids in high school act. That doesn't make it right, nor something that you should be okay with doing. The problem isn't that you are behaving this way so much as it is that I don't see that you're genuinely understanding that the behavior (all of it, not just slurs, not just cursing, etc.) is not acceptable and frankly it's embarrassing. What will you say if your future college admissions personnel see this post and the way you've communicated?

Until you can break the habit of immature communication, I don't think you can truly ask for your ban to be reduced. The fact that of your first ten messages that had more than one word, over half contained a curse word and/or slur should not be something you are proud of. Considering you had 3 punishments previously, I doubt that this is anything new for you. I don't see how you can sit here and post those chat logs and not be embarrassed at the way you're communicating, even if it is only with friends.

Some statistics I've found (from only the first game): Only around 55% of your messages are more than one word. Almost 20% of your messages include a curse word or slur. 30% of your messages are written in allcaps (screaming). Over half (51%) of your messages are targeting one or a small group of people in the game with extremely negative messages that are not constructive. Over 1/4 of your messages are spammy in nature, repeating things you said multiple times. Only about 10% of your messages were actually passing constructive information to your team, and that's with a very liberal interpretation of "constructive".

If you can't accept this proof you have a problem with your idea of good communication, you shouldn't be playing league. This type of communication, while commonplace in high school, is not appropriate and instead of allowing yourself to be a part of it, you should be actively trying to ensure you are not a part of it. There is no reason to claim family problems as a reason for your toxicity, because trust me, you don't know what some people are going through and are not toxic.

Finally, reading some of your replies to other comments shows me that you are not remorseful for your toxicity. You seem to genuinely not care about the games you've ruined for other people, whether it was one other person, two other people, or 9 other people. You care about your money, the time spent playing the game, and the fact that you have friends that you've made on League that you now cannot communicate with due to your own actions. You use your real life health issues (stress-induced asthma/panic) as an attempt to make people feel sympathy for you, when in reality if League is affecting your life to the point stress over a ban is causing you to experience panic/asthma attacks, you should immediately uninstall League and focus on your health (both mental and physical). I can completely understand the feelings you have for League, but you are describing symptoms of an addiction that is potentially more powerful than addictions to nicotine and alcohol. Just as people find it hard to quit those things, I think it will be hard for you to accept your ban, but you will need to do so and focus on your upcoming finals and your health before you ever try to continue playing online games.

Wishing you all the best and hopefully I have provided some insight into your chat-logs.

55802074DEL11 votes

I don't know what to say. You're right. Everything you have said is right. I'm surrendering. I know what I did is wrong. I know that I will be looked down upon anyone that sees what I have said. You basically read me. Emotionally, physiologically, and mentally. You really analyzed and looked at me as a player. From the way you showed that I didn't care about other people, to my physical health. All of it. It's true. I don't know what to do now. I don't want it to be the end. I just wanted a second chance. I know that I've received numerous chances before. But. I don't know. I just. You just took my whole argument. And destroyed it. I don't know how to reply, or say anything...

Chermorg4 votes

I think your second chance will be how you learn from this experience. Not in online worlds, but in real life. Use this experience and this let down to become a better person, maintain better relationships with valuable friends in real life, and to focus on your health. Then maybe at a later time you can return to online games as a pastime, not as something that consumes your entire life so much that you are this negatively affected by actions therein.

I just hope you can step away and look on this so that you don't get to the point of some people who are made fun of on news for throwing their computers across the room, smashing tables, etc. over dying once or twice in a game. You aren't there yet, but please just focus on yourself. You're 15, you have your whole life ahead of you. Find an attractive person of whatever gender you enjoy spending time with (or just a good friend if you don't want a relationship) and go to a nice restaurant. Spend an evening with others instead of with League. Work on real life, then maybe return to League.

All the best.

55802074DEL12 votes

But I have been on this account. Atleast, once a week since I have made it. I invested so much into it. I know that I should probably leave league. But I don't know what else to do in my past time. I'm not sure at all.

Chermorg1 votes

Find someone else from your high school who isn't doing anything tonight, ask your parents (or if you can drive) to take you to their place or a restaurant, and watch a movie, eat a dinner, do something in real life. If there's a gokart track, mini golf, anything in real life. Doesn't matter if you enjoy doing it, because the more important thing is enjoying the company of those around you.

I was like you when I was 15. Online worlds consumed me. Then I took a step back and have some of the best friendships I've ever had in real life right now. You can do it.

55802074DEL12 votes

But all that time. All my moments that I remember were on that account.

Chermorg1 votes

Make some new memories. Sometimes the best memories are those that haven't been made yet, and you'll never know if you keep being sad over the past. You can do it. Go make memories with people.

55802074DEL12 votes

I just am simply asking for a second chance. I just want a second chance. I promise to god I'll reform. I just... I just want my account back. I dedicated so much. Everyday, after exhausting days of school I relaxed on that account.

You are never getting it back. Ever. No mistake was made here. It's gone. Forever. Make a new account and this time, when Riot gives you 3 chances in the form of chat restrictions, heed them.

55802074DEL11 votes

I know that from the outside I look like another average toxic player. But I promise you I'm not. I know that I could just leave this account for good. I'm just asking for another chance at redemption. I know that I have been extremely rude and insensitive. I can tell you for a fact that I wouldn't do that type of behavior in real life. I just used and abused the fact that I was anonymous online to harass people. I know that I deserve to be punished. I know that I have been given chances before. I know that I abused my last one. But I'm being honest simple to be sincere, I never thought that chat restrictions were that bad or serious of a punishment. I thought they were a warning. Now I knew that the next level would be a ban, but I never expected it to be perms. I promise I will reform. I really will. I'm asking for redemption. I'm on my knees here man.

It was a justified punishment. You can try submitting a ticket to support, but you most likely won't get anything.

Even with all the effort I'm showing to try and show that I am willing to change myself? I'm revealing so many embarrassing chat logs of mine. I'm willing to reform. I really am.

You got the warnings. You should have taken them seriously.

55802074DEL11 votes

The last warning I had was two months before this happened. And it re-surfaced for only 3 games, and they weren't even consecutive.

Martensitic1 votes

Then you should have been more careful about the way you behave while playing on it.

After all, the rules regarding the punishment system are not a secret. In fact, you agreed to them when you accepted the Terms of Service Agreement of this game.

55802074DEL11 votes

I know. I just am simply asking for a chance at redemption.

Martensitic1 votes

Noone said you cannot make a new account.

Martensitic1 votes

His ban will not be reduced.

Permabans for toxicity are never lifted, especially not in cases where extreme toxicity, like homophobic slurs, led to an immediate escalation toward a permaban.

Martensitic3 votes

xLitheon: fucking f***ot

Homophobic slurs and similar extreme toxicity warrant an immediate escalation of punishment tiers, up to and including, a permanent ban.

This in combination with the fact that almost every single line of your chat is insulting, or humiliating teammates and / or opponents, leaves only one conclusion:

#BAN WELL DESERVED. Thank you Riot for taking such swift and decisive action in this case!

Bye.

55802074DEL11 votes

I know that I'm a disrespecting, rude, ignorant, and crappy person. I know that I didn't do well at all in these games. But these games were only 3 out of the thousands I've played. I know that might not mean anything to you. But I'm embarrassing and exposing myself on such a level to show my humility. I'm doing this to show that I am willing to change and reform. As for the homophobic insults, I apologized numerous times to the people that I have hurt and insulted. I know that may not change anything I previously did, but I'm trying here to show that as am truly sorry. Thank you anyway.

Martensitic2 votes

Let me ask you some simple questions:

When did you start all this apologizing? When did you realize that its wrong to call people, among other things "f*gs", "idiots" or "USELESS"? When did you start to "change and reform"?

Was that before you were permabanned ... or was it after?

I think everyone knows the answer to that.

And just for clarification: The account is gone. I have been around the old forums and the boards for years. I do not remember a single case, where a permaban due to such actions was ever liftet.

Not for this, no.

People who write such things should lose their account with zero chance of ever getting them back.

55802074DEL11 votes

I've apologized so much.

I've apologized so much.

You apologized for your actions after you got perma banned not before. Your apology isn't sincere as you are just begging and trying to find a way to get your account back.

BestSupportGold2 votes

People like him will never change. I wish this game was 18+ at least adults don't act like this. You're rage and ramblings don't help anyone on your team, or yourself. I bet you're the type of person to blame the team and not accept responsibility for your actions. You're the kid that chases for kills in unwarded areas and then complains when you get collapsed on, ignoring in game pings.

I'm glad you got banned.

55802074DEL11 votes

Now that's not fair at all. I know I screwed up, but that doesn't mean I'll never change. Even if my perma-ban stays on this account I'll reform and I won't be toxic on a different account. And I know that those raging/rambling doesn't help my teammates at all and I promise you that I'm not like that most of the time. And as for the claims of my gameplay those are completely untrue. If you even researched me as a player you can see that I have a semi-decent win rate and rank. You're just using basic stereotypes of. Teenagers to profile me as a player which is sadly untrue and just outright wrong. If this game was only 18+ then you wouldn't have players such as Bjergsen and Faker among others. Heck, even the former rank #1 player Révenge was 13 when he started playing. The fact that you profiled me on my age and this snippet of behavior is just unfair.

the legend561 votes

if you really mean it when you say that you'll reform. PROVE IT make another account and prove to people that you can be a good person.

55802074DEL12 votes

I will, I never said that's not an option. I just wouldn't want to leave this account behind.

Martensitic1 votes

Now that's not fair at all.

Statistics don't have to be fair.

the legend561 votes

one of the things that bothers me the most... if you go out into the public and confront other gamer's who know of but don't play league and ask them why? most of them will tell you that it is because of all the toxicity from the people who do play league. there are thousands of people joining league each day and their could be millions. if it weren't for people like xLITHEON out their ruining other peoples opinions of the league of legends game and community.

55802074DEL12 votes

This isn't how I usually am. I know that I'm apart of the people that contribute to toxicity. But I'm trying to ask for forgiveness. People are being so judge mental.

Yep. You're just profiling me for no reason now. That's just mean. I know I probably deserve it. But still. Stop. You can't just g t an image off of me with my age and behavior. You don't anything about me. Most people on here will helpful and we're giving me critical feedback, you're just being mean.

Martensitic1 votes

That's just mean

Interesting, so when other people say such a sentence to you, that's "mean".

I am curious, what adjective would you use to describe this then:

Game 1 xLitheon: you fucking idiot xLitheon: ww xLitheon: mhm xLitheon: idiot xLitheon: piece of shit xLitheon: idiot xLitheon: gtfo xLitheon: fucking f***ot xLitheon: you got a gank xLitheon: fuck off xLitheon: blitz xLitheon: BLITZ xLitheon: FUCK OFF xLitheon: muted you f*gs

Okay. I know you're right. I was insensitive and mean. I don't have the right to say that. But he shouldn't profile me off of so little.

Martensitic1 votes

What did you expect how the community would treat you, given the way you treated others?

There is a saying in German: "Wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es zurück".

And the community is a pretty big forest, with a loud voice.

Remember, punishment works on a tier system, you do not simply get escalated to a permaban unless what you did was extremely sever. You can find those here.

10 game chat restriction 25 game chat restriction 14-day Suspension Permanent ban

Either way, you were extremely toxic in these chatlogs, and the ban was put in place because of it. Here are a few examples of unacceptable behavior in your logs;

xLitheon: you fucking idiot xLitheon: ww xLitheon: mhm xLitheon: idiot xLitheon: piece of shit xLitheon: idiot xLitheon: gtfo xLitheon: fucking %%%got xLitheon: you got a gank xLitheon: fuck off

Hey there! Sorry to hear about your situation. I know it seems unfair but you can skip tiers of punishment by using homophobic slurs, which you did unfortunately. That combined with your history of toxic behavior has left you with a permaban.

I understand you went a couple months without having a game like these, but Riot judges you on a per game basis as opposed to just time passed. It was a significant number of non toxic games you needed to play consecutively, in order to be considered reformed. I cant remember the exact number but with 3 chat restrictions you are probably looking at 100 games of non toxic behavior.

I frequent these boards quite a lot and I'm sorry to tell you I'm 99% sure you won't get your banned reduced. I've read countless threads similar to yours and I haven't seen it happen yet. Your best option is to take the lesson that you learned form this and start a new account.

Wish you the best of luck either way and hope things improve for ya!

EDIT: Ignore the downvotes, people on here are very judgmental. You shouldn't be downvoted just because you are asking a question.

55802074DEL11 votes

I'm on my knees here man. I'm pleading. I'm not usually that toxic of a player. I can't even access the account to tell other people to add me on a separate account etc. And as for the homophobic slurs. I know I fucked up. I know I did something wrong. But I'm trying so hard to get my point across. All I'm asking is for a second chance. I promise I won't do anything like this ever again. Hopefully that 1% of a chance comes to me. I just wish I could at least access the account to tell people about my permanent ban and to add me on another one. I just fell in a hole. And I don't know how to get out. If you know anyone that can do anything please tell them to look into my case. I know I deserve punishment but I will reform if I am given a chance again.

Ah man, I feel bad, I really do. I'm not perfect either, Ive used slurs like that in the past. I mean most vidya games you can get away with it. League is one of the first I have seen to be so adamant about toxicity in chat. I really do wish you the best of luck, and I hope you are in that 1%.

As for your friends try downloading a league chat client on your phone. I have no idea if it will work, but I don't know why it wouldn't. From there you should be able to see your friends list, maybe even message them.

Yeah...Not even going to bother.

I know that wasn't my best day, at all. I know I screwed up. I knew I deserve this punishment. But all I'm asking is for a chance to redeem myself. And I never thought this as a sob story, I just wanted to explain myself and garner opinions from different people. My intention was never to get pity, ever. Thanks anyway for your insight.

You do not have a lifetime ban from league (= immediate closure of all future accounts a player makes), so you can make a new account.

However, I would recommend that you refrain from ever repeating such toxicity if you do so. There are ways for Riot to track people across multiple accounts, and lifetime bans have been issued in the past.
