I Got Flamed for 40 Minutes and Ended up with Chat Bans?

reiner rules··2 votes·899 views

So in a blind pregame I thought I called mid over this other guy because thats how my screen showed it. Someone else corrects me, showing that I have not gotten it. I cannot jungle, I am still summoner level 8 so I pick Vel'Koz who is free right now for duo top with Fiora as I cannot jungle. Now Twisted Fate (the guy who called mid first) starts chat spamming and flaming me in pregame since I am a mage, he automatically thinks I'm going mid. Already I am getting flamed for no reason.

At the beginning of the game I give him a hard time saying "i was gonna let you have mid but you were toxic" really intending to go top the whole time, I was just kind of messing with him because he had already come out of the gates being rude. I go top, and Fiora and Twisted Fate are not paying attention, just flaming me thinking I'm going mid. They aren't even looking. I am on my way to top. They proceed to spend the whole game in all chat (I wish I could show you their chat logs, there would be a million "report vel! report vel! report vel! report vel!" I try to explain in all chat that I was mistaken in thinking I got mid, but I never went mid and there was nothing more I could do.

I tried to remain calm, I asked Akali in bot lane to switch because Fiora was trying to let me die on purpose and when Fiora gets really troll like you can see me ask Akali (who's telling me to remain calm) what I should do because I'm really getting annoyed. There are a few times where I run away from fights because I don't trust my teammates who have been trying to let me die all game, and you can see in chat where I say something like "why would I help you." This is the only thing I can think of that got me in trouble. But I got flamed for 40 minutes. This game was 40 minutes of non stop flame and I think having only 1 or 2 things where I say "why would I help you you keep trying to let me die" is not justifiable for a punishment.

I tried SO HARD to stay calm during 40 minutes of Fiora and TF trying to get the enemy team to report me. I feel like this is a total slap in the face to turn around and give me the punishment. They called other people besides me trash and garbage all game too I was not the only one to be flamed. I played through the game to the best of my ability, I only ran from fights when I legitimately thought my other teammates would try to abandon me to die again. You can see that the end I say (in bad taste) "gg scrubs report me" because I ran to the enemy base while no-one was looking and got the towers and started hitting the nexus. I kept trying all game. I really don't think I did anything wrong, and don't think I deserved punishment.

Welcome to league of legends, where the trolls win, and you lose.

Yep this is what happened to me.

So theres no chance of a mod seeing this and helping me out? I could understand if I had called them garbage and flamed them back, but I don't feel like I said anything really negative...

Tace362 votes

No. They dont give a flying shit. Just stop using chat. Yeah its dumb but this game forces you not to.

reiner rules2 votes

That seems like it just causes more problems than it solves... Shut down communication and screw the people trying to play through, let the trolls ruin the good players games....

Tace362 votes

You get banned. You play again. They make more money. Sounds logical to me.

AriCei1 votes

Yeah they feel justified in banning based on extremely minor/tame toxicity. They think they are making the community a better place so they don't intend to try anything to actually address the root problem. They instead are making a system that encourages trolls, discourages communication, and makes more money.

"Address the root problem"

What's that? Should we all have account names that show our current address, and our in-game pics are webcam shots of our face?

Some people suck. I don't know how that's Riot's problem. Inside Riot, there's people who suck, too. There's people everywhere who suck. There isn't a "system" that fixes whatever it is you're implying.

Check out some of my other posts if you are interested in what I mean.

Basically my opinion on it is that Riot agreed it was their problem when they set out to modify people's behaviour. Which isn't a bad plan when your player base wants to be respected by each other.

They then put in a half-assed system that does not work on reform and called it a day. This is also fine, just don't pat yourself on your back for misrepresenting the issue and your approach.

Long story short, I am not saying anyone should "fix anything"- THEY are. And they aren't doing that.

Riot's only role in this is similar to a bouncer at a club, getting that loud foul-mouthed idiot out and keep them from ruining everyone else's time . They fit that role now, but I think what's being asked of them is too much.

AriCei1 votes

This is actually a fair point- except this part I take issue with: "They fit that role now, but I think what's being asked of them is too much."

They put this on themselves with their own claims. If they were honest about what the system is doing, this whole discussion would be different. Similarly, clubs don't give a shit who started something, everyone involved gets thrown out whether or not they deserved it.

I'm also just going to add, that no one is getting thrown out of a club for slinging a few minor insults in response to the same, no matter how often they do it.

If Riot calls it a "reform" system, it should be that. It's meant to be more of a community, and thus more akin to a judicial system rather than a night club. Maybe they should start looking at it more like a club though, hmm

There has to be data to support the theory of reform. I'm not saying reform works, I just know how they want it to work.

be the bigger man and mute them

reiner rules1 votes

But they are trying to get the enemy team to report me. I thought x9 is like insta-ban. Should I not defend myself in all chat? I try to ignore except for when they are calling to have everyone report me.

Cocho3 votes

1 or 9, doesnt make a difference from one game.

If you havent done anything wrong, nothing should happen.

Let them get to you, and you say things like this.

"gg scrubs report me" "duo dutt buddies"

This is the kind of faith in a broken system that makes me sad.

Subdue1 votes

Why, may I ask, did you not decide in 40 minutes, "Hmm, these guys are doing nothing but flaming. I should just mute them and focus on the game?"

They were bent on getting the enemy team to report me. I thought more reports meant worse scenario for me. Someone on this thread has said otherwise though.

reiner rules2 votes

Also I felt like I did for the most part ignore the chat, it was their physical trolling that you CANNOT mute that got to me.

"I Got Flamed for 40 Minutes and Ended up with Chat Bans?"

And you didn't mute the flamer?

reiner rules2 votes

They were trying to get the enemy team to get me reported and I wanted to be able to defend myself. I thought more reports meant more likely to get in trouble and harsher punishment. Someone has said this is not the case though.

Mus1 votes

If you don't say anything, the system won't ban you but the logs say otherwise. Even though your team wanted to report you, it only takes one report to flag an account, not multiple reports. Asking for reports can be reportable if its excessive.

Also, you don't need to defend yourself, since in the end the system is whats banned them. They only trigger the report. If you don't say anything bad, then you have no reason to explain yourself. Just mute and report after.

Also 40 minutes is a little much for defending yourself.
