Chat restricted & end of season rewards | When do I need to have them completed

Cloidsosam·Oct 24, 2016·1 votes·2,240 views

Hi Riot (and rest of community),

I am currently chat restricted (25 games). I read the following on League support:

"ARE THERE ANY BEHAVIORAL RESTRICTIONS ON RANKED REWARDS? Yes. Some details:

Players with suspensions or chat restrictions active when the season ends are ineligible for this year's rewards."

Does this mean that I need to complete these 25 restrictions before the end of the season, and I will still be eligible for the end of season rewards? Or do I also need to re-earn my privilege of earning hextech rewards (which usually is re-instated after played games AFTER your chat restriction)?

Thanks in advance!

You must complete your chat restriction before the season ends on the 7th. That's it. You don't need to be eligible for hextech loot.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did read that the season ends at 11th of November. So it is the 7th?

That was an estimation based on prior season end dates, but this year it's on the 7th. There is a countdown on this page; http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/featured/preseason-2017

Are you 100% sure? I only had a 10 game restriction that I worked off but I still have the hextech restriction.

Yes, Hextech eligibility is not tied to Ranked reward eligibility. You can check out the requirements list on the announcement page here in the FAQ; http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/2016-ranked-season-ends-soon

Okay thanks, made my day :). I'm almost never toxic normally so it would've sucked really hard if that restriction would've caused me to not earn the reward.

I think you need to be free of chat restrictions for a few months before the end of the season. Last year is was sometime in August. So no, you won't get this year's rewards for sure.

That's just for account bans. For chat restrictions you just have to work it off before the season ends.
