Perm ban?

Black Optics··2 votes·756 views

Woke up this morning, forgetting to close out league, and click the client to it saying that I've been permanently banned. For a while I was furious about this, but now I'm just more confused than anything. I've been playing for six years, and for a little while a few years back I was pretty toxic. But I've dialed that back quite a bit. Never shared my account with anyone, nor have I used shit like scripts (to my knowledge that's the only third party programs associated with league.). I've made a ticket asking what the reason was, and if I could get my account back. I'm completely baffled by this, and wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them and how it was resolved. I do have a smurf, but over six years of playing league on this account, owning every champion, and lots of skins. I would prefer to have my main back, and honestly would probably drop the game like a bad habit if I was told I had to earn all of that back, and lost all the money I've spent on League over some kind of system error.

If you relog into the client, it should give you chat logs if you were banned for toxicity. Aside from that, you can make a ticket at https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to ask what happened.

Doubt I was banned for toxicity, if anything I've been getting things for being friendly and team player, since I've been trying to be more positive in game. Wanted the honor badge. The logs didn't really help me with much, but thank you for that. I also put in a ticket with support but I haven't heard anything so I have no idea what's really going on.

Depending how busy they are it can take hours, days maybe more to get ticket answered. Just wait

LMAO.

A lot of players like to act like they don't know why they got banned. its even more funny when Tantram asks "why do you say that" and we find later OP is trolling and has amnesia out of the blue.

Pretty sure OP was warned of a 14 day ban previously and broke another rule shortly after...then WHAM!....Permaban.

I don't feel bad for you at all. I'm glad you lost a 6 year account full of probably hundreds of dollars. Down the drain..... HAHAHA.

I hope you don't play again because we don't need toxic/troll players like you in the community.

Hit me up if you need a letter of recommendation for some ethics courses at your local community college.

This is not a very constructive way to go about discussing the topic. People get banned for a variety of reasons, and making wild guesses as to why they got banned and mocking them for it (especially based on your wild guess) is at best rude and not helping anyone.

I'm not trying to help anyone nor am I trying to be constructive. I am merely expressing my thoughts (of course they are guesses) based on my experience on this particular board. I find that 99% of the time that these banned players are BSing. Take it as being rude. IDGAF.

In that case I'm telling you to cut it out. It's disruptive and it harms the attempts of those actually trying to help them and contribute to the discussion in a constructive manner.

Ironically enough, you're the one being toxic/trolling here. Perhaps you should take a few of the ethics classes yourself? Either way, have a good one.

do you have chat logs?

Black Optics1 votes

Haven't heard back from a rioter yet, and no chat logs from in-game stuff.

Anastaecia1 votes

should have an email with the reason

Black Optics1 votes

Checked my email, nothing in spam or inbox.

ModPeriscope2 votes

They don't email. You should have a reform card when you relog into the client.

Black Optics1 votes

There is no reform card from what I've seen either.

SparklingLama1 votes

you dont get banned randomly you must have the email or whatever you are saying is void till the chat logs are up or we know the reason you are banned.

Black Optics1 votes

The only email I have from RIOT is a little while back requesting an email change. That's it. As for chat logs, I'm still confused as to how to retrieve them.

Until which year does your ban end? I think the year is specific to the reason why you were banned (check this for more info)

Black Optics1 votes

It doesn't have a year end, it says permanent. Which is why I'm even more confused.

Shadowynn1 votes

LOL please.

I'm going to express my thoughts (under riot's tos of course). If I find that a certain ban was worthy, i'm going to laugh and express my feelings.

Don't tell me to cut out anything. Who do you think you are, some Nazi patrol? Why dont you patrol those posters who use explicit words like 'Fuck Riot etc etc'... I don't say anything like that.

Take off your elite hat and coat and stop trying to act like you're better than everyone else. Pretty sure if we open your closet we'll find stuff thats worse than what people are banned for in this game.

Making threads like this is stupid, you probably deserve to be banned. Otherwise please troubleshoot with Riot directly, acting like you did nothing wrong when guilty is a normal psychological behaviour in humans and seeking attention without attempting the right filters first is plain silly in my opinion.

My opinion aside please have a good evening, I don't wish you any more stress.

Black Optics1 votes

I've been trying to troubleshoot with RIOT, and after over twenty-four hours of not hearing anything back, I came to the boards to see if anyone else has experienced these issues. If they were not going to help explain anything, then I was going to seek someone that could explain, or has gone through this.
