14 Day Suspension for doing a Cats Vs Dogs mission

YOLO MOFOS·3/30/2019, 3:58:20 PM·14 votes·5,816 views

So me and 4 other friends queued up together to do the last Cat vs Dogs mission (the impossible mission) where we have to play as 5 premades as singed,poppy,alistar,volibear and blitzcrank . We tought we can do it against bots but then realised we have to play a matchmade game . So we didn't really wanted to play a 30-40min normal game and decided to give the enemy players kills so we can end as fast as possible ( all 5 of us agreed to do that ) the game lasted 18 minutes so we didn't really wasted enemy teams time. I have read your patch note and it said that the penalty will be reduced if there are all 5 premades . I never flamed or intentionally fed any of my games and would kindly ask you to remove the 14 day suspension. If it was chat restriction or LeaverBuster then i would understand it but i think a 14 day suspension is too much.

So, let me get this straight...You wanted to complete one of the Cats Vs. Dogs missions, which involved playing a matchmade game with a specific composition with a full five-man premade.

And you and your friends all did so, but in order to hasten the match, you all ran it down mid. Out of 60 deaths, only 9 of them weren't on the middle lane.

I have read your patch note and it said that the penalty will be reduced if there are all 5 premades .

That's for LeaverBuster, not intentionally feeding. LeaverBuster handles AFK's and people who disconnect, not teams who run it down mid.

If it was chat restriction or LeaverBuster then i would understand it but i think a 14 day suspension is too much.

Neither of those punishments would fit here. Chat penalties wouldn't work for a non-chat-related behavior. You commit a gameplay-related offense, you get a gameplay-related punishment.

As for LeaverBuster - again, you and your team ran it down mid, you didn't AFK/disconnect.

...the game lasted 18 minutes so we didn't really wasted enemy teams time.

Yes, you did waste the enemy team's time. They signed up for a match of League, and wound up getting a premade team intentionally feeding.

So, no. This is a clear-cut case of intentionally feeding, and I can tell you right now, you're not going to get the punishment lifted. Next time, if you're not gonna play it straight, don't play it at all. If you're going to do missions that involve some wacky comp with a premade, all of you should actually play the match out to the best of your abilities instead of intentionally feeding to try and hasten the ordeal.

If you're not willing to do that, then you can ignore the mission.

Bots are a matchmade game.

You could have surrendered at 15 minutes.

You could have just played.

unless it specifically says "PVP", the PvsAi game mode is also a matchmade game that counts for the quest. there's no need to int in a normal game...

I agree with the OP. It shouldn't be a two week ban since it was in a premade and all 5 players agreed to it.

You’re welcome to appeal, but to do so you should use a support ticket, not a forum post.

For the record, if I were on the enemy team, I’d very much feel that my time was wasted.

This shouldn't even be punishable... Team agreeing on losing is a strategy. Koreans open. What's the point of playing a 20 minute game when you can play a 10 minute game and lose the same amount of lp. Just NEVER done in NA or EU since we people make a butt ton of mistakes in these regions (except TL and C9)

is nobody else going to mention they could have /ff-ed in 15mins which would have taken less time than the 18mins, and also wouldn't have resulted in a penalty?

Yeah, this is kinda lame. It seems a lot of people are not agreeing with the OP, so here's the logic behind the OP poster:

The mission previous directly stated an AI game, so the correlation of the mission NOT specifically stating AI on the next mission can lead to the thought of "I guess this one is against people".
Riot is incentivizing this team composition, which, if we are being real here, is not a sustainable team composition. It puts the premade at a severe disadvantage unless some serious thought is put into how to make it a reliable team composition.
Who would look at this whole "Cats VS Dogs" event, which has silly skins, silly trailers and silly missions with silly titles.... To take this one seriously? The human mind doesn't make the transition easily when you are doing a silly mission against AI with a group of friends in a virtual setting to instantly recognize the nuance of "Well these virtual characters are controlled by people now, so we have to put our game faces on for this normal, aka not ranked, game".
Say a real strategy is found, implemented, and after 58 minutes of patient push and pull and picking their mistakes while playing a perfect game... YOU WON! Well there is still a chance that you will get reported because it was a "troll team comp" and "frustrated the enemies". What now? Riot is promoting it, you played seriously and meticulously, but now that Riot set you up to break the Summoners Code you get punished for it instead of Riot realizing the mistake they made and simply change how the missions displays? That. Sucks.

Keep in mind my previous statement that the environment of a full group of friends that just played a silly game against AI (I personally went assassin Ornn) should recognize the subtle difference between "matchmade" and the mission previously stating specifically AI game.

I mean you could have played the game normally and then surrender at 15 min no? Would have been faster too lmao

I did most of those missions in coop vs ai. Like Voldymort said, unless the missions specifically say PvP, bot games qualify for matchmade missions.

I played a game yesterday against a team who did this. And honestly, it was a blast. We were joking with them the whole time as they ran it down and then once we got in there base at the 16 minute mark we ff. It was an absolute blast.

Sukishoo3/31/2019, 2:36:24 PM2 votes

Pretty sure theres more to this story. I did this with friends last night and we are fine.

AFKarthus3/31/2019, 6:26:12 PM2 votes

Hahaha this just made my day. Riot seriously bans people who run it down when everyone from the team agrees? So people who open or surrender the game also don't play the game or what? Maybe riot should invest their time into the real problem of the game. You can troll a ton of games in ranked and nobody cares at all and all new / rework champions are way too strong and no fun at all to play against like urgot sylas kayle etc. We also need ip bans for people who troll on their second account because they don't care at all Cheers

You are a 5 man premade should have just fucked around a bit and then ff@15... Would have been faster as well

Sometimes it's ridiculous how the sword of the law fall on the heads of "rascals" and let it free the hands of "inveterate criminals"

Let's cut the hands of the urchins that steal an apple and let free the master villains to be the Legends

Sad... very sad

PS I've done the same mission, we tried to win, but not all the team wanted to cooperated or do not followed the given tactic

We lost (no drama)

The opponent team said that we were a troll team, didn't know about the mission, for our team composition and for the "strange" tactic They wanted to report us (same as here)

I told em that was for the mission Luckily They laughed and understood

If we had unfriendly opponent we could actually be ended in the same scenario of this unlucky player

again

punish the unlucky so one day it will become a Legend (of the crime)

Matchmade means anything but custom games(tutorial and practice tool also). So if u played 5 mid on intro you would have done it in like 10 mins. That means it would have taken less time.
