Ban System

Fearless Ostrich·9/19/2017, 12:38:53 AM·2 votes·341 views

First of all let me introduce myself. I am a player who started playing the previous season and despite this game's flaws and somewhat questionable community at times I loved the simplicity of this game and found it quite appealing. In my first adventure into ranked games I finished the season in Silver 2./3 cant remember tbh. This season I've put more effort into the game in an attempt to get better and eventually reached Plat V which amazed many of my friends who used to see me play before back when i was a little bit more boosted cause i still am ;) Why am i bothering you with this apparently useless information? Just to show you that i actually care about the game and even tho i admit its flaws I truly love it and im quite hooked at it. But let's get to the main point here. So after 800 games this season let's say I've met a wide variety of players. Since from those 800 games most are ranked ones i pretty much climbed the ladder seeing how each tier has its own mindset stereothype. I've gotta say that even tho most players have an excellent approach to league others can be really toxic at times.

Personally I love to play with friendly players who are actually willing to argue about decisions in a polite manner something that I do! Who's never questioned someone's call? A bad gank perhaps?We've all done that and the responses may vary. Some will probably instantly flame you because they are godlike creatures and than u got those in which i place myself in that actually tell what hapenned or an excuse like lag or dc lol..well u get the point. I NEVER start flaming someone cause he failed however the opposite can't be said. I've seen people complain about my decisions then flame me the entire game and not getting punished for it. It's funny because i have a friend that even tho IRL is a great guy in this game he is as toxic as u can possibly imagine. There are numerous ocasions in which we laughed at the fact that RIOT never punished him for that sustained behaviour and even encouraged such behaviour by getting him honor Lvl4. Me on the other hand had been chat restricted for a couple of days already for arguing with a toxic fella(i know i shouldnt do so but thats just who i am). I was petty disapointed because that game was such a bad experience for me...i was legit getting flamed by 3 premades who did not appreciate my job as a jungler(previous season).I argued telling them that I had the least bad KDA on our team and wrote their kda's on chat just in case they could not see it by themselves(i know not very nice but still just responding to 3 guys who provocated me the entire game and asking for ganks when fed like boosted animals). I got chat restricted for that and u know what?I accepted it because ye its true, I shouldnt have exposed their kda's on chat like that and it sort of appeared to the employee who saw my chat that i was raging on chat when i was simply defending myself...

Next season i reformed. I made the decision to main a new champ and try to climb as much as I possibly could with it. My initial goal was Gold and after having secured that tier i tried Plat. Well that was harder to accomplish but still did it.Through this tiers I found the community to be much nicer! I really enjoyed it. Seemed like everyone was trying to win and I loved it! It helped me push harder and eventually reach Plat. Now that i got Plat I challenged myself to try something better. Why not Diamond? Currently im sort of stuck but im not doing that poorly either. I feel like i can start climbing consistently at any time with some luck.

Through my game I admit that sometimes I say things like kys, wtf dude, why?, we had that if, ... things like that. BUT and this is a big BUT, i only say kys when people flame me super hard. Like shit talk that would get u punched in the face if you were outside ur house. Its a mark of my speech or rather my primitive form of defense against those type of people. Im not a native english speaker and even tho im not bad i got my limitations and in what regards such agressive commentaries about me I usually type an automatic "kys". I know this is far from one of those reports in which a person says hes completely innocent and such and his personna resembles a saint but do I deserve a 14 day ban for this? I mean i only say bad things to those who provoke me more than once and find me in a bad day...but still i dont think its fair that when a premade botlane that didnt like me and sent 2 reports got me banned for this, I usually play alone cause my friends are all silver and can't play with me so i dont have that type of defense. I feel like who has more premades has an higher chance of not getting banned. Doesnt Riot care if just premades report you? I receive literally tons of honors like 1/2 every game because when we win i usually carry my team and give motivation for my teammates. When we lose I either get 1 honor from someone i tried to help during the laning phase or get reported for answering some sort of rage a guy had for losing a promo game or whatever I'm not a saint but for god's sake am I one of those players to be put aside because of his attitude? I've seen worse not getting condemened. I've seen Really toxic people getting away with it so many times and i think to myself "he must be getting banned". Just because i was toxic in the past do I care now a mark on my back for the rest of my life? Also why aren't my reports taken seriously? Because I once were toxic my reports dont matter? I'm thinking about quitting league because I feel betrayed. Perhaps i should become a robot and mute everyone in the start of the game because replying to toxic individuals got me 2 bans. Seems like being toxic and reporting sonmeone for telling u the truth pays off sadly.Sorry for the wall of text and here's the chat that got me banned. Thank you so much for reading and let me know what you think if u don't mind!

Fearless Ostrich: i will go crit build probably against that team Fearless Ostrich: happens lets focus Fearless Ostrich: he didnt see me either Fearless Ostrich: i spotted him first lol Fearless Ostrich: gj Fearless Ostrich: zac there Fearless Ostrich: care syndra Fearless Ostrich: fck me Fearless Ostrich: it was my fault dw Fearless Ostrich: meditated when u w'ed Fearless Ostrich: let him push Fearless Ostrich: we wait Fearless Ostrich: im back Fearless Ostrich: goddamn internet Fearless Ostrich: cool Fearless Ostrich: pant?(he was iddle on lane wanted to know if he dc'ed or not) Fearless Ostrich: kys(after my adc telling me to never gank bot again and that i sucked at the game) Fearless Ostrich: i need my guinsoos Fearless Ostrich: before i deal damage Fearless Ostrich: lol Fearless Ostrich: i dealt more damage there Fearless Ostrich: than u jinx (jinx again saying im useless) Fearless Ostrich: YI? Fearless Ostrich: i killed 2 Fearless Ostrich: alone Fearless Ostrich: kys tresh ( this botlane decided to flame me altogether,maybe premade?, and tresh decided to join the party of his premade and started to insult me too, both midlaner and toplaner actually defended me saying that it wasnt my fault!)

Fearless Ostrich: kys Fearless Ostrich: kys tresh

You said kys not once, but TWICE in one game.

Deserved.

doesn't matter the context when it comes to your ban. just because they said it to you doesn't mean you are allowed to say it to them. Also, you might never know if someone gets banned after you report them because I believe its only the last report that get a notification.

my suggestion is don't retaliate, especially not in kind. Ive had people tell me that I am a reason they want to hurt themselves and my response was more like "do what ever makes you happy" because that is a "positive" response. plus i find the kill them with kindness idea just makes the whole thing more amusing for me and my team

Your behavior IS bannable and since I don't see anywhere in your post the word "Perma" I'm going to assume it's just a regular ban.

So now, if you truly love this game as much as you do, consider this your wake-up call as that Riot doesn't want that kind of behavior around here (You wouldn't be the first one to try to treat a permanent ban as their wake-up call and ask to be unbanned).

You told them to "kys" twice.....is that the "truth" you wanted to tell them?

Honestly had you not use kys twice, I'm willing to bet my account you wouldn't get punished even if all 9 players reported you.

Edit: After that game I was actually quite surprised because I leveled up to Honor Lvl3. Seems like getting honors and being nice to those who actually care for the game is pointless if you are toxic to trashtalkers. Nevertheless its ironic.

I hope you learn your lesson. But "kys" is bannable.

Thanks for all your answers if anything it helped me realize that i can't fight toxicity with even more toxicity even if periodic. I just wish the entire community was more like you but it isn't. Perhaps I should try to change it starting with my own attitude, and that I'll try. Some of you gave me advices I intend to use in the near future. I was actually thinking about quitting league because of how unfair such decision appeared to me in comparison to others I've seen who did much worse but one thing is true, I didn't act correctly either and for that i deserve some sort of pusnishment. You managed to revert my decision of quitting league forever and for that you have my gratitude but I can't stop to feel that Riot is bipolar sometimes. For sure the ban system has its merits however it lacks depth. Having acess to global chat would be a fine adition IMO and also make it far more just.
