Unfair Suspensions, support being run by bots, and not listening or understanding at all.

I had one bad game, I admit I play troll builds to see what they're like and have fun especially on my smurf. But I never int, I lose, and I lose badly sometimes but never intentionally. Anyway I was suspended for 15 days for intentionally feeding. Except I wasn't intentionally feeding. I don't even understand the reason that other players have to ruin their own game just to punish trolls in this manner it seems stupid to me it's not something I have ever done in thousands of games.

I've been playing league daily for 3 years now. I leveled 4 accounts to level 30, with no issues whatsoever. I had 2 gold honor level accounts. My main smurf that I play on all the time was honor level 5 and has thousands of games on it.

I've thought a couple weeks, almost a month now because I took a 15 day suspension, as they "suggested" to cool off. This is the first time I've had any sort of infraction on 4 accounts ever. I received no warnings on this account...my first warning was a 15 day suspension and a complete loss of honor to 0 from honor level 5.

So 3 weeks ago I played one bad game on this smurf. I play Jungle, and have been testing Nidalee's capabilities and been losing a lot. When I test I have an opening that ticks a lot players off where I try to steal blue from the enemy team. Lots of times if I get killed my team decides I'm inting and immediately just says reporting and won't help me recover at all, and I admit that I've been getting more and more pissed at this behavior of people, but this game was really bad cause there were players queud together and they decided to band together report me immediately. The total albiet at the end was 1/31...and there were several times I could have gotten a kill where I didnt take it cause it would have made me worth gold again. I was still trying to win. That kill total proves in fact I was trying to win, and not the opposite, because I'm an experienced player having that amount of deaths, not some nub running it down mid.

I was trying to make my value as worthless as possible and still win. I've done this strategy before countless times and it works, especially with tanks like Sion that I might have gotten too used to playing. I've had games where I was 1/20 and still won as Sion, on other accounts, albeit I've never lost this badly in any game ever though true...do you think they look at games where the total is that bad and it just gets an instant ban no matter what? But it was non sequitur, my thousands of other games on this account werent near this.

Also in this game I was trying to accomplish a worlds mission of killing turrets and it added to my death count, so it wasn't a normal game for me. I needed like 1 more turret to complete my mission so I kept trying to get a turret that was hanging by a thread, and the enemy team was killing me when I was going for.

This was a normal game. I was suspended for 15 days and lost all my honor in a NORMAL game.

By definition I wasn't intentionally feeding, I was simply dieing to a superior team and keeping my value low so I could try to still effect the game and recover. I get how this would be effective with people nubs that intentionally ruin games, but why would this apply to someone with as many games as I have in good standing with a gold 5 honor? You're going to take away all my honor for 1 out of a thousand games that looked bad?

Even if I was inting in that game, haven't I already proven that that's an aberration, you want me to prove it again by getting my honor level back to 5, and then take it all away again if I happen to get into a bad game? Maybe even a permaban in that case? Why should I play on this account anymore and risk the hundreds of $'s I've put into skins and boosts on this account? I should just retire this account right?

I've started to play again on this account just to do missions on the Worlds ticket I bought because I didn't see any problem with the account and the ban came a week after the game and worlds had started. Yeah it took them a week to decide to suspend me. Even if the decision is to do that to me at least do it in a timely manner?

They also refused to refund my worlds ticket which I won't be able to get full use of now.

My opinion is that Riot is playing around with their new honor system and full of how awesome it is and losing perspective of how it effects players, and suspending good players over small infractions, and dont have a good warning system set up at all...has anyone else experienced this?

for anyone who'd like to look at the match OP's talking about

I can't say either way. But I can say that I can't fathom anyone having 31 deaths in a game where they weren't inting.

That game you died 31 times in 41 minutes. You have a huge cluster of deaths around areas where you'd reasonably run to if you were intentionally feeding. You sold your jungle item and your build wasn't "off meta", it was unfathomably mixed - you built an AS/AP item, and AS/AD item, and then an AP item.. You did almost less damage to champions than the support. You placed only 5 wards the entire game.

Everything points to you intentionally feeding. Intentional feeding is not acceptable, and the penalties are harsh as it's sometimes hard to confirm. However, looking through your match history, you play a lot of off meta champions, and this doesn't appear to be the only game that you crossed the line from playing off meta into actually trolling.

Don't test Riot. Moral of the story.

You don't even have 1 assist. Like come on, you suck at trolling.

This is the damage dealt in the match, the entire point of the match for me was to do the quest, once it was clear I was facing an impossible to win against foe that was hunting me, it doesnt show how many turrets I took down, as I recall I did actually take the turret, and finished my quest.

273.6k 114.5k 127.3k 184.5k 51.1k 163.7k 228.2k 146.2k 6.5k 117.7k

I did as much damage as 2 other players on the team, and if you look at the kills the yasuo/nidalee matchup where I was behind was impossible the yasuo was the one taking all the kills of me and hunting me especially as i tried to take the turret. That alone proves I wasn't trying to run it down mid, and I was trying, if I actually was I wouldn't have any damage to anything, let alone objectives.

Also it was two ap and cdr items, and botrk for sustain while clearing, it was a decent build for nidalee imo. 40% cooldown, and lots of ap and lifesteal and attack speed while in cat form.

If you look at my deaths again, 10 of my deaths were in my own jg. I don't see how that shows I was inting. The others were around the rift herald and baron.

I was being hunted by the yasuo in my own jg and my own team did nothing to try to help me. That's not inting.

You weren't trying to win, you were trying to complete the quest.

People laughing at me also have obviously never heard of the rope a dope strategy. That's what I was trying to do to win, but I guess riot and sheep playing this game can't conceptualize it. That's what the mechanic of reducing gold every time you die allows for, if you still go after objectives and get them. But riot I guess won't actually let you use this rule as a strategy cause they put it in place to stop nubs. I wait for the day a pro or someone they actually care about uses it to win, and I'll be laughing.

I used this to win many times on other accounts btw, it just happens that this time I got caught by the enemy team much more, and my team was especially clueless.

I mean what do you think my game is here by posting this? You think I care to get the strike removed from my account at this point? Do you not think I know my post would come under scruteny by board trolls and my actions questioned again cause all people can see is 1/31?

I know it's not going to happen. My point is that riot is unfairly abusing its long time level 5 honor customers for game strategies they're employing. This new honor system is just so they can suspend people recklessly. It's wrong. It needs to change.

Again,

THIS WAS MY FIRST WARNING. A 15 DAY SUSPENSION.

RIOT REFUSED TO REFUND ME FOR A TIME BASED REWARD I BOUGHT

THIS WAS AN HONOR LEVEL 5 ACCOUNT WITH THOUSANDS OF GAMES WITH HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF $ PUT INTO IT, OVER A YEAR OF PLAY TIME,

AND I GOT KNOCKED TO 0 HONOR AND MY ACCOUNT PUT AT RISK FOR 1 BAD GAME
