So i've been playing the game since season 4 have had zero punishments in 4,5,6 & 7 during season 8 it was a rough year as a whole had a bunch of life issues but we aren't going to get into that i am just confused why riot doesn't just forgive my one toxic season after 4 seasons of being perfectly non toxic.
4 clean seasons + 1 toxic season = permabanned which to me is a little messed up.
The odds of you having been perfectly non-toxic across four seasons is probably lower than you think - everyone has had off-days, and everyone, even those like me who have no punishment history on their account, have doubtless had a few matches where a valid report was filed against them.
That aside, why should Riot forgive one toxic season on account of four seasons of no apparent toxicity? If you're being toxic across a whole season, that is a problem. And on top of that, having four seasons of no punishment/apparent toxicity should not serve as a mitigating factor for valid punishments - it should only serve to set the expectation of your behavior.
If you weren't toxic/weren't punished across four seasons, then you're expected to keep that behavior up and not be toxic in the fifth. It doesn't change whether or not you do misbehave, and it definitely doesn't change whether or not you get punished for misbehaving.
For you to have gotten permabanned, you had to have been consistently negative despite multiple warnings against it, one of which actively tells you "your next punishment will be a permanent ban."
That kind of consistent misbehavior should always and will always warrant punishment, regardless of any previous seasons where you weren't punished.
Also on a different note why is human emotion and context not taken into account when giving out punishments?
Because you're expected to not be toxic, regardless of how angry you are and regardless of what other people are doing. Everyone is held to the same rules, no exceptions.
If you have anger issues, you learn to control it. Self-restraint is a necessity.
If other people are misbehaving, then they'll get their dues - you taking that as a cue that somehow, you should be allowed to break the rules yourself, only serves to put you at risk of punishment yourself. The rules don't magically stop applying if someone else is misbehaving.
At the end of the day, emotion and context are disregarded for delivering punishments because you alone control what you say and do. If you let your anger get the better of you, you'll get punished. If you react negatively to someone else - regardless of their actions - you get punished.
I understand that anyone could just say that they weren't having the best life right now but riot needs to realize that in a competitive setting people are going to get heated and mad at people under preforming.
And those players getting mad need to realize that in a competitive setting, letting that vitriol out and harassing teammates isn't going to magically make them win.
In physical sports, there are punishments for misbehavior and team in-fighting. People get fined, redmarked, denied participation, kicked off teams - so there's no excuse for that kind of misbehavior to be allowed in E-Sports. If you want to play League competitively, you're expected to treat it competitively.
And that means not flaming your teammates. Period.
Then we come to the issue of context when some ints my lane and i say wtf why am i the bad guy when chat can be muted but you can't do anything about inting except report after the fact.
Does responding to an intentional feeder make them stop? Does it somehow cause the enemy to int deaths to you to balance things out? Does reacting negatively to the feeder help in any way, shape, or form?
If not, then I have to ask, why even bother responding to the feeder if it accomplishes nothing?
