Kind of losing the will to log in anymore.

So, I'm not getting my season rewards this year after working my fucking ass off. Got a 14 day ban like a month ago.

Wanna know what I got a 14-day ban for? Complaining about champs being broken in chat. Never flamed anyone, was never "toxic," but apparently being negative and a tiny bit passive aggressive is the equivalent of trolling, feeding, actual flaming, and all that fun stuff.

When I asked a support agent why I was banned, they basically told me that they treat negativity as harshly as they do anything else (which is absurd, since you can't expect people to ALWAYS be happy, especially in a competitive game, and some people are just naturally pessimistic). When I asked what rule I was breaking, or where I was breaking the Summoner's Code, I was told that Riot doesn't need a reason, as per the TOS (and that clause should honestly be illegal, I can imagine so much abuse through it).

It just makes me feel like playing at this point is useless, since I know I'll just get frustrated again and start complaining in chat, and the next step is a permanent ban. It's just how I vent - especially since I play alone and don't have anyone to talk to, and if I make the smallest sound my dad turns off my internet (which ruins games for my teammates, by the way, unlike me complaining). I enjoy the game, even if I hate the people that run it, but I'm afraid to even log in, thinking I'll see that wonderful little window showing off how "awful" a person I am. Best part is that I've been acting exactly like I am now since I started almost four years ago, but I've only been punished at all in the last few months.

All that really kind of kills my enjoyment of this game, because I know that everything I do is pointless since I have level 0 honor forever now, and won't get any season rewards. I have every champ, and I have rank 7 on like 40 champs, so I don't have anything else to work towards. I don't have any friends, and I have no other games to play that I don't get bored of, so this game was kind of all I had to enjoy -- and even then, League is losing its appeal because of greed and this fucking ban bot.

I know no one cares. Hell, I wouldn't have anything to say to a thread like this but snide remarks about Riot. It's just that complaining is kind of cathartic for me.

Edit: Since everyone wants chat logs, here, someone copied them for you.

I tried League when it first came out, though I was playing WoW at the time, and couldn't get into it. Then WoW got bad, and I went gamehopping as other games died or turned bad, and ended up on League. Was totally hooked that time, and I've been playing since then.

I quit WoW in 2014, started League not long after.

Really didn't see the appeal to League after a couple games, and just uninstalled it and went back to WoW.

So true...WoW is so bad. I stopped playing after litch king. Very hard to stay online after knowing how hard you worked just to get to lvl 60 and get the gold i had. Nowadays i hear its even worse...start up 100G and lvl 85 char? Unreal...

They brought over the lead developer from Diablo 3 since GC quit, and he just took the game and dumbed it down so much that a monkey could honestly excel. Every class is 3-4 buttons with very predictable rotations, and the raids themselves are just recycled content and "the floor is lava" mechanics.

They're also butchering the lore, making the game incredibly grindy, and just ruining everything that used to be good about it.

Sad part is I spent more than 10 years playing that game, and just one day up and quit.

I don't think that was worthy of a 14 day but you got to admit that you were complaining far too much. Yea some champs are a pain in the ass but still

Niyumi1 votes

Yeah I know I complain too much, and I know I can be a bit of an ass, but I can't really help it. I'm not allowed to have any emotions in my job or family, and that bottle I keep everything in cracks when I play League, and all that pent up frustration and whatnot starts leaking out, and I start ranting to no one in particular in chat. It kind of eases the pressure, and it keeps me from yelling or something (which would make my dad unplug my internet).

Just bothers me how that makes me the same kind of bad person that trolls, flamers and other things that ruin games for people are.

You know you'd think you'd get it after a month

Does me whining in chat make your laner do more damage like a feeder?

Does me whining in chat make winning impossible, like a troll or an AFKer?

Am I bullying anyone or using "hate speech" by complaining about champs?

... And besides, you can just mute me if you have such an issue with it.

I don't think it makes you some kind of bad person it just makes a really negative environment, that no one wants to play in. You dont direct it at anyone or anything like that, but from your teams perspective you're tilting off the face of the earth and anything they say to you will make you run it down mid. You can try to just say it without yelling (although you've probably already tried that), or like have notepad open and writing your frustrations down on that instead of ingame.

I mean I keep on playing just fine, and still try, despite typing all that. I type very fast too, so it's not like I just stand around all game. And it doesn't matter how I type it. Some of those chat logs were entirely "non-yelling."

But, just writing things down doesn't do anything. I guess it feels like talking to someone, just knowing someone can see it, and I think that's the part that helps the most.

Killer30001891 votes

My bad i didn't word that correctly. i meant like say it to yourself just don't yell it so your dad won't unplug the internet, but that's probably the same problem with no one being able to see/hear it

I share your feel and opinion. I've given this game a tone of my life, and I come back to it because I lack a proper social life to enjoy. Thats the sad part - the brief interaction I get in LoL is the majority of my social life. And the MAJORITY of players in this game are narcasistic, abusive, unempathic, sadists.

I respect your angry regarding something different. But, if it helps, i agree that i'm very disapointed in Riot as a company. I've been playing it for a solid 7 years now I'd say, and only this year did I investigate "how do i delete my account" which (like you) I have all champs, a pile of lvl 7 mastery choices, and a dedicated blob of time commited to it.

But, after the last weekend gone by, I'm sending the letter in to delete my account and walk away. Riot is using a successful addiction business model, and its made the game just go trash - encouraging bullies and keyboard warriors, and discouraging respectful sportsmanship in casuals.

In the end, hope you're ok.

I would honestly like to quit too, but I don't have any other games I actually enjoy playing for more than an hour or two. Plus, my siblings play this game, and it's really the only time I even talk to people.

OP's chat logs from his last ban as posted in a previous thread. Posting here since OP told someone to look for his old post, I'll put it here so nobody has to search, unless OP wants this removed.

Game 1

Sciela: Time for a new toaster Jhin. Sciela: But, a plat in my shitty, shitty MMR. That explains why you're so afraid of first picking. Sciela: How much did you pay? Sciela: So, remember that they have Zac. Sciela: The gank happy, bullshit, broken thing. Sciela: Watch for his ganks. Sciela: And here we go. Sciela: Why did no one tell me we have a troll top? I haven't dodged yet today. T_T Sciela: What do we do instead of nerfing the 100% pick or ban Zac? Sciela: Oh right, we buff him. Sciela: But that's putting quality first. Sciela: In high ELO he is. Sciela: Always has been. Sciela: And in LC$ he's still played every game. Sciela: You're just trying to protect your freelo, I get it. Sciela: Not like it really matters. Troll top fed Darius who is now free roaming. Sciela: In high ELO, he is. Sciela: I don't know what the secret is to getting teams that do something. Sciela: It's a troll. Sciela: Why do I even queue? Sciela: Like, really. Sciela: Wanna guess my winrate with Ornn? Sciela: 52%, over 63 games. Sciela: But, that'd be closer to 60-70% if I had real teams. Sciela: Unlike, you know, this one. Sciela: A boosted mid lane (actually boosted), troll top, Sciela: And my bot just can't do anything. Sciela: Challengers can't 1v5 fed teams. Sciela: Why would I be able to? Sciela: Well see, we have this troll top thing, meaning we have no bruisers or any reliable frontline damage. Sciela: And our ADC is bad. Sciela: Our mid doesn't know what they're doing. Sciela: So, Sciela: "Gold is the best ELO! PEople know what they're doing, and there's less trolls!" Sciela: I wish that were true. Sciela: Must be nice. Sciela: They're tilting me by feeding and being bad. Sciela: Yeah, no. Sciela: That's not trying. Sciela: Only one trying is Blitz. Sciela: 'cause complaining in chat is toxic. Sciela: Not a GG at all.

Game 2 Sciela: Let's see how fast I lose. Sciela: Oh, almost guaranteed my team is goinna feed. Sciela: And on top of that you have Veigar, Thresh, Jinx and Shyv, which all equate to freelo. Sciela: Who has a 70% winrate. Sciela: So, Sciela: God tier clears, god tier drag control, god tier damage, passive tank stats, Sciela: Man I wish Shyv was actually weak like they insist she is. Sciela: Yeah, what? Sciela: Putting her players to sleep? Sciela: because, especially after they buffed her, I'm not seeing any weakness. Sciela: Pushes W, gets 500 MS. Sciela: Says she can be kited. Sciela: Good joke. Sciela: He ACTUALLY CAN be kited, he has zero mobility, highly telegraphed. Sciela: Better drag control than WW. Sciela: But nah, she's weak. Sciela: In reality, she's just another pinup girl that makes money, so Riot pretends she's balanced in any way. Sciela: Both are HIGHLY telegraphed, slow skillshots. Sciela: And 20 health is not sustain. Sciela: With the AI of a potato. Sciela: Yeah except it has like a 3s casting lockout, and takes two more seconds to actually hit something. Sciela: And ADCs can just one shot it. Sciela: Best it can do is scare someone. Sciela: It also can't attack while moving, so again, kiting. Sciela: "We fixed Veigar guys! He's fair now! Yeah!" Sciela: "Just like we fixed Susan!" Sciela: Literally just wins or does nothing. Sciela: But we "hate" braindead statchecks. Sciela: Well I expected my mid laner to, you know, do something. Sciela: But his head is up his ass I guess. Sciela: Once again, in what fucking way is SHyv weak? Sciela: Oh wait, she's not., Sciela: She's horribly broken. Sciela: So the definition of toxic changes to whatever you don't like? Sciela: Mmk then. Sciela: She's beyond boring,. Sciela: Her only weakness. Sciela: Am I flaming anyone or calling anyone names? Sciela: Hmm... Sciela: Not toxic then. Sciela: 700 damage on a LONG RANGe, TARGETED Ability. Sciela: BUt that's counterplay. Sciela: That's fair. Sciela: OBviously. Sciela: Oh but silly me, having zero counterplay is only toxic if it's a champ that whales don't like. Sciela: They LOVE Veigar, since he's a braindead free win. Sciela: "Fair" Sciela: "Balanced" Sciela: "Counterplay" Sciela: When Shyv two shots a tank. Sciela: Yep. Sciela: Sure is fair. Sciela: And FULL of meaningful counterplay. Sciela: But we here at Riot would NEVER lie. Sciela: We put quality above all else, even money! Sciela: You're building lethality MF. Sciela: You are bronze. Sciela: No. Sciela: Maybe six months ago. Sciela: HEre's the difference. Sciela: Everything in my kit CAN BE AVOIDED VERY EASILY. Sciela: If you die to Yorick, it's because you fucked up. Sciela: Nope. Sciela: Shyvanna is literally a statcheck. Sciela: Jinx is a statcheck. Sciela: Veigar is one shot or nothing. Sciela: Every ADC is. Sciela: They either have enough stats to beat you, or they lose horribly. Sciela: That is a statcheck. Sciela: "Fair" Sciela: You can avoid 90% of MF's damage. Sciela: AD casters are different than AS stacking clickers. Sciela: Play Shyv, fall asleep, lose. Sciela: See you dodged that one. Sciela: She's broken. Sciela: God tier broken. Sciela: And I counter that with Urgot, Kindred, etc. Sciela: ONE THOUSAND FUCKING DAMAGE in one button that is both targeted and long range. Sciela: But trust me, Veigar's ult is garbage. Sciela: That's why we're buffing him. Sciela: Maybe if you built a good build, you'd win that fight. Sciela: As I expected you to. Sciela: But no.

Game 3 Sciela: Oh I doubt it'll be fun. Fully expecting my team to feed their asses off. Sciela: "WE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HATE BRAINDEAD STATCHECKS! We justified reworking assassins and Vlad with that same reason!" Sciela: "But Win Nhao? Nah, fuck that, he makes money." Sciela: I taste a kid that thinks they're good for abusing freelo. Sciela: Go have a hobby for 20 years, and then have it ripped away and killed in front of you in the name of greed as morons cheer it on. Sciela: Be happy after that. ^^ Sciela: Don't know what you expect me to do. Sciela: "Don't worry, we would NEVER lie about broken champs or ignore champs that go against everything we fucking preach if they make money" Sciela: Man, so happy F2P is a thing. Sciela: "Juggernauts win if they can get in range of someone. We promise!" Sciela: "Except any AS stacking braindead clicker destroys juggernauts. But that's not true" Sciela: Like, it took you 30 seconds to kill me. Sciela: Not less than two. Sciela: Obviously. Sciela: Riot. Sciela: See, Riot is this thing called greedy. Sciela: They lie repeatedly, and make false promises. Sciela: And, were they any other business, they'd be put out of business for false advertising and cheating customers. Sciela: But the world is run by greeyd fucks. Sciela: You have three people. Sciela: Defend it yourself. Sciela: You can CC rift. Sciela: You have Lux and Trist. Sciela: Easy defense. Sciela: You notice how when I pushed, that 4 became 3? Sciela: Hm. Sciela: I honestly hope someone beats the living fuck out of Beck. Sciela: And every other greedy CEO. Sciela: "Counterplay" Sciela: "Fair" Sciela: "Windows of power" Sciela: "Meaningful weaknesses" Sciela: Oh huh, none of those apply. Sciela: But trust us, Win Nhao is not broken at all! Sciela: Wish I had that much talent. Sciela: Takes a god to play braindead clickers. Sciela: "AD CHAMPIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT BROKEN!" Sciela: So, remind me why, with TWO HUNDRED FUCKING ARMOR and ninja tabi, I take 1000 damage an auto? Sciela: Could it be... Riot was lying? Sciela: Oh but no, they put quality first! Sciela: I AM A JUGGERNAUT Sciela: THAT IS MY FUCKING JOB Sciela: Zero mobility? Sciela: Zero range? Sciela: HAHAHAHAH! Sciela: Xin has no mobility now? Sciela: Oh wow, I wask ind of dead. Sciela: And kept our fucking base up. Sciela: "We give a fuck":

Oh I don't really care. My chat logs show that I was just ranting to myself anyway, with a tiny bit of passive aggressiveness about bad teammates. That's not really the point of the thread though -- not trying to convince anyone I'm a saint or anything.
