Season 5 rewards questions and conerns

Ayoba··1 votes·769 views

I am currently a diamond 4 player. And i find myself extremely disgruntled to find that i will not be receiving any rewards for that achievement because in August i was banned for toxic behavior. This to me seems very dishonest. I deserved my ban and felt it was a good wake up call to be less toxic and treat my teammates better. What is the reasoning behind punishing me further? How does taking rewards for me help in me being a more positive impact on the community? Was my ban not enough? And if it wasn't why not just increase my rehabilitation time and or come up with something else that doesn't involve taking things from me i earned and that were promised. Every single person I've gone to about this says that taking my end of season rewards from me is childish and spiteful. Because it is. Can a RIOT employee please explain the reasoning behind this? Because it makes no sense me. I don't feel inspired to be more positive. I feel hurt and cheated.

Really? Because every adult I've talked to has said that complaining you aren't getting rewarded for your lousy behavior is childish and spiteful. Because it is. You made the decision to be toxic. Now you have to deal with the consequences. What you are doing is nothing more than throwing a tantrum because santa brought you coal instead of presents because you were a naughty little boy. In what real life situation are you allowed to be acting so badly that you are outright removed from the environment, yet are still allowed to get prizes later? Hm? Your school? Your job? Your family? Society in general? You think if you get arrested and tossed in jail you still get that raise when you get out? The world has never worked that way. To complain that it doesn't is outright idiocy and a level of undeserved self-entitlement that proves you should still be removed from that environment because you have clearly learned nothing. "Yeah, I was such a pile of crap that I needed to be kicked out of the game entirely, but I still get rewarded in a few weeks, right? What? I don't? RIOT IS OUT TO GET POOR ME." Disgusting.

Excuse me?.....I'm very much so an adult with a high enough education to know that u didn't give any reason for anything there. You just trashed on me without knowing me or my circumstance. They aren't rewarding me for my bad behavior, they are rewarding me for the effort and skill delivered during the season to get diamond. The toxic behavior i once exhibited has nothing to do with and thus my point. And yes in every single one of the scenarios you listed you are still rewarded when you improve your behavior. That's the whole fucking idea of it.....When a child has finished their time out do you not kiss them and tell them that you love them? Or if a employee is fired for his/her shitty attitude he/she still gets paid out their work. Please leave your extremely sour comments somewhere else. My concern is legitimate and honest and to be addressed by someone with answers and reciprocated concern for me. Not to be treated with unsolicited condescension and sourness.

When an employee is fired, they get paid for the work they have already done up to that point. They do not get to come back later and get that bonus a month later. Ray Rice doesn't deserve to get a "best football player" award after his deplorable behaviour, regardless of the fact that it isn't related to his performance, and if he was given one, the backlash would be enormous. You aren't being denied your pay you worked for and are legally required to get, you're not getting the extra bonus prize this season. Or do you believe that sheer elo should be the only factor of a players value to the community and that esports should stop removing toxic players from the highest levels of play? You talk about sourness, yet you call riot "spiteful" like riot is a single person who hates you instead of a company with policies you don't like. That in itself is incredibly childish and shows where your mentality is coming from. In reality, you aren't even losing anything of much value. A slightly different profile border and one skin on a character you probably don't even play. You aren't banned from anything that's actually important. You forfeited your right to extra prizes when you deserved to get kicked out of the game and were. If I had been rightfully banned from the game, I would NEVER expect to still get rewards. When you're an adult and you screw up, you admit it, then shut up and take your lumps and try again next season. Because you can. If riot was really being unfair and spiteful to you, they would ban you from ever getting season rewards ever, not just this time.

I got banned a couple times. Still got my rewards because I reformed. You were toxic towards the end is the reason.

Because Riot Lyte should be fired

You had 3 months to show reform for what must have gone on for at least half a year for them to have actually banned you. Probably longer.

Riot has no idea that you've actually changed, and this isn't helping them see that. Its easy to play nice to 3 months. Try it for a year and see how that works out. You made diamond once, you can do it again next year if you really earned it. I know I earned my place in Silver. I earned it because I didn't put in the time to get better. You put in that time, and this year, you just have to do it again. Maybe go even further since you'll be working better with your team (I hope).

And that little voice in your head needs to stay in your head and off the keyboard.

Thank you for your comment. I still don't see what taking my rewards has to do with my behavior. I guess its incentive, but i don't like the idea of bribing people to be positive and sportsmanlike, it seems dishonest to me. I want to be more positive when i play because of two reasons really. One, i cant stand to think that im hurting someones feelings. Two, everyone knows that a positive environment breeds success. I still can't help feeling cheated though. I wish a riot employee would explain their reasoning behind it.
