Permanently Banned for This?

So, permanently banned for this? I got THREE trolls in a ranked game. One (Rumble) buys 6x Tear of the Goddess and starts intentionally feeding, then goes AFK. One (Vel Koz) spends the game flaming literally everyone and refusing to help. (i.e. during a "teamfight," would walk away and start dance-taunting). The other (Nunu) does the same dance-taunt thing outside of "teamfights," intentionally feeds some deaths, and then AFKs. Screenshot

So I got a perma-ban notice, it has exactly one chat log on it:

> Game 1 > eren jæger: their whole tam is s1 with a p5 zilean > eren jæger: ours is all gold > eren jæger: wtf lol > eren jæger: nunu farm this mid > eren jæger: or miss free 20cs and stay level 5 > eren jæger: fiesta > eren jæger: nunu wtf is your problem > eren jæger: 3 of them have 30hp help me > eren jæger: maybe if you ping 5 more times > eren jæger: i will warp there > eren jæger: nah it's open > eren jæger: i can't defend tower from him > eren jæger: so its the same > eren jæger: same > eren jæger: cant cs > eren jæger: i already said > eren jæger: zil just spam double bombs > eren jæger: can't kill zil, he just press r nad every time i jump on him skarner comes > eren jæger: wtf are you guys doing > eren jæger: i gank and all of you are standing at tower > eren jæger: you literally left me 1v3 > eren jæger: so you troll? > eren jæger: stand there and watch me 1v3? > eren jæger: hard to chill > eren jæger: when you literally get me killed on purpose > eren jæger: again > eren jæger: i go in > eren jæger: and you fkin watch > eren jæger: we could have won, but you've trolled that away by now Vayne: "lol ur mad" > eren jæger: very > eren jæger: bc you're intentionally killing me > eren jæger: why do you think i've been raging. vel and nunu both trolling nonstop for 10 min > eren jæger: ff > eren jæger: vel and nunu are both trying to out troll each other > eren jæger: all please report both > eren jæger: please report both > eren jæger: actually all 3 > eren jæger: and you especially

Explain to me why this is perma-ban worthy. I'm not allowed to be upset that people are literally trolling in my ranked games?

Fun fact: The rumble did not get punished for buying 6 tears and afking. (He has 2 games after this one).

Well played Rito: Ban the guy who tries to win, and let the trolls get away :D (But ye, probably we all know the Rito logic: It was just a bad game.)

idk man, it doesnt seem like much but u dont get banned for one offence.... i know ive been perma banned 4 times. they give u plenty of lead way to fix ur mistakes. but if it was ur first offence then just email riot, from what i understand theyre actually pretty fair about things like this.

It's possible that you were punished for calling for reports against others. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but...

  1. Calling for reports is unnecessary, because it only takes your 1 report of the player to flag that game for the system to review the player. Multiple reports don't stack. And false reports are thrown out. So there's no reason at all to try to get anyone else to help report a player who you feel deserves to be reported.

  2. Calling for reports, if done repeatedly could be considered harassment, and thus can sometimes wind up being punished if you do it repeatedly.

And lastly, if you came off of a 14-day ban and have not regained honor standing yet then you would have been on very thin ice, meaning that any slip up - yes even one as small as calling for reports against trolls - could result in an escalation to the final level of punishment (permaban).

I don't see anything in that, which I would consider ban worthy. Riot has a problem with people asking for reports, though, for some mysterious reason they consider it harrassment. Typical Riot nonsense, ignore trolls who actually ruin the game, punish people oversensitively for words, because that's easier to monitor...

Well Riot? What's your asspull excuse for this? That's two unjust punishments I've seen today.

They may have been trolling but you being negative doesn't make it any better.

YO SAME GOT A BAN TOO FOR AFFIRMATIVELY TELLING A TROLL TO STOP LIKE WTF THE TROLL DIDNT EVEN GET A BAN i literally said the exact same things as u... riots just fucked

Nah actually their policy is if you are rude to anyone they can steal from you.

YerroFever3/13/2018, 6:22:30 AM1 votes

Did you have a punishment prior to this? if so, was it a 14 day ban?

EDIT: You appear to have a 2 week gap after your 2/23 game and your 3/10 game... if that 2 week gap was a 14 day temp ban, then your reform card would have told you that your NEXT punishment for whatever infraction you had, would be elevated to a permaban.

post screenshots of the pop up it gives you when you log in.

Nope you arent allowed to be upset because riot is legit a terrible fucking company. There ban system is legit a joke, cater to the special snowflakes and if you troll youre fine no one cares apparently.

Just going to play devils'riots advocate here (this does not mean I agree with their ruling):

  1. If someone trolls you, simply report them after the game, don't ask others to do the same. This is against the rules, and increases tention between teammates.
  2. Looking at the scores and chat in the screenshot, the only two players in that team that broke the rules are Vel'koz and... well... you. In this screenshot I don't see proof of either Nunu or Rumble trolling, and looking at their level I don't believe they went afk in this game. Not to mention, their scores don't imply inting, nor does the chat.

Update

Riot Support responded to my ticket and said that, "it would be unfair to your fellow Summoner for us to unban the negativity observed. Especially those who have been exposed to it in game."

Here are the 3 specific parts of the chat log that Riot Support said are perma-ban-worthy:

[11:28] eren jæger (Katarina): nunu wtf is your problem

And:

[17:16] eren jæger (Katarina): wtf are you guys doing

And:

[24:34] [All] eren jæger (Katarina): vel and nunu are both trying to out troll each other [24:37] eren jæger (Katarina): all please report both [24:43] [All] eren jæger (Katarina): please report both [25:16] eren jæger (Katarina): actually all 3 [25:38] eren jæger (Katarina): and you especially

That's right:

  • If you troll and someone asks you what your problem is, get them perma-banned.

  • If you troll and someone asks what you are doing, get them perma-banned.

  • If you tell the enemy team that your teammates are trolling, and ask them to report their behavior, you can be perma-banned.

Later.
