A month ago I was 14 banned, and I've never played better

Magic Meat Man·Jul 21, 2018·6 votes·5,556 views

Hello people of the boards. A month ago ish I was 14 day banned for toxicity and frankly, I couldn't be more happy.

I sometimes get a message after I report someone saying, "yo thanks for the assist we banned that dude, most people smarten up after 1 ban" and I always thought that was a lie, toxic people are just toxic! Nothing you can do about it. BUT after being 14 day banned, I'm a new guy on the rift and it makes the game a lot more fun and I play way better as a result.

Today I got flamed relentlessly by my jungler who ironically was getting caught repeatedly and ALMOST lost us the game but I wasn't gonna flame him back (not trying to get banned) and simply muted him. We won that game I nailed it on got a bunch of multi kills and killed the nexus. Would I have done that if I was raging back at this jungler? I reckon not. That being said I also have lost games (obviously) and it doesn't really bother me, today I put a replay up on the TV and watched it to figure out what I could have done better after losing. I'm not fighting with my 0-18 bot lane in chat because I don't want to get banned and it gives me the opportunity to think about my own play.

I am curious if anyone else has been banned and experienced the same change in their attitude in game as a result of a ban. If so, was it long lasting or am i just in a happy phase and will soon return to my dark keyboard-warriory past.

TLDR:if ur toxic consider getting 14 day banned to become not toxic. kk ty.

I quit the game after my last 14 day ban. I still tilted like crazy, but I kept the anger pent up. didn't have much fun. came back 2 yrs later, got another 14 day ban.

this time, I'm going to try playing jg for a bit. troll supports can be the adc's problem, not mine.

Don't bottle up your anger, that's unhealthy. Find a way to let it out constructively though. Like yelling IRL, petting a doggo, taking a break, etc.

Riot gives its players 20 minute timeouts for that.

If Riot penalizes me for petting a pupper I will uninstall.

But seriously, nah they don't. I've been doing all of that for years now. Just as long as your break isn't during the match/excessively long during a match you'll be cool.

well I don't get angry after the match. :/

Which is why you yell IRL during the match, pet your dog when you get a second so you can relax and reset, walk away from the game after a stressful match for an hour or more so if you do decide to play again you can go into that match with a clearer head.

Lol, as a jungle main I can tell you its far worse. In one game I got spam pinged by top and mid and trash talked 3 minutes in because they inted 0/2. Said it was my fault.

no, you just think it's worse.

when you get a troll support as adc, any chance of impacting the game is just out the window. you're gonna be sitting under turret until someone ganks or the enemy team takes your turret. then you can group mid to teamfight, but of course you're behind and will do no dmg while taking 1000s of dmg.

and the worst part is that the team will never, ever take your side, even though you did nothing wrong. "no, he can play whatever he want, shut up" 15 mins later "omg trash bot fed, useless adc"

I just quit playing jg. Only thing I’ve played since starting this game, but fuck this shitbag community that wants to flame you for their fuck ups.

Just do what I’ve been doing, go top and ignore your team.

hell yeah dude keep it up, my account had a 14 day suspension and im seeing how long it takes to get to honor lvl 5, hmu if you ever need someone to play with

SSShutTheDuckUpJul 21, 20183 votes

I went from 14-day ban to 3 honor badges in the old honor system and lvl 5 honor last season, so one could say it's an improvement. I simply though to myself "why would I play a game if it is not fun and just makes me angry". After that I managed to find fun in League. Ever since the Ardent Cancer META I stopped finding it and have been playing less and less this season. Now I have a new job, moved to a new town and I have less and less desire to play.

My tilt stems from a "waste of time match"

Most players don't realize when its already over! "We can't comeback what's the purpose besides just feed? Which Riot system will banned you for int feeding.

Figures I usually accept a loss than quit the game, with puts me into LPQ rather than keep dying for no win at all and poor performance on champions.

I enjoy getting better at killing more than dying less on different champions. But if the score is 2-20 why not just ff simple**. "waste of time match"**

HighwiseeneJul 21, 20182 votes

Why not surrender? Because people below extremely high elo throw frequently. Think of how many times you have lost because your super fed teammate kept trying to 1v5.

SirLucseanJul 22, 20181 votes

Why would I think about int feeding on purpose it serves no point in my performances per champions. That's why quit useless games, because why become tilted just to keep on feeding one champion.

Magic Meat ManJul 21, 20181 votes

That's an interesting point of view! I disagree for the following reasons:

playing from behind is part of the game and is a worthwhile skill to practice. So I would argue it is not a waste of time!
There is ALWAYS something to take away from a game. If you lost 2-20 there is certainly something you could have done. maybe not win the game but definitely lose less hard or play better, and if there is something to learn from the game then it is not a waste of time.

Thanks for sharing, I find peoples mindsets and general psychology in league really interesting! thanks for your insight.

SirLucseanJul 22, 20181 votes

Those waste of time matches are likely impossible to reflect on my own performances.

I take ownership of my mistakes and usually it's a misstep by summoner 4 that cause my deaths.

When your bot lane is lv8 and your top laner and jg fed the enemy team, you can't shutdown champions 2-3 lv higher than you. There's no contest and that no challenge in feeding into that. if they want to all in me but fail its on them. Most players want a fresh game not a waste of time game, because clearly that indicates a difference in the poor MMR.

Other than complaining that a league related post exists on a league focused boards, do you have something to add to the discussion?

I get banned for just being bad and dying over and over and I don't really appeal because I don't know how to explain to Riot and not make them feel i'm a liar

Honestly, I used to try to take something out of every match and learn/improve. Over time, however, it got incredibly old. Now I'm jaded af and flame everyone~
