Why did you get Banned?

So, overall, the Player Behavior boards are a pretty gloomy place.

Really gloomy.

Now, the most common type of post here is the "Why did I get banned", and, after looking through them, the answer is largely the same.

A) You were really toxic B) You were sort of toxic, and you just got off of a 14 day ban

But a lot of people still don't get this.

Their most common responses are

A) But I have spent a lot of money on this game! This is just Riot trying to get more money out of me!

The answer of course is, money spent on LoL doesn't matter when you are banned, a free to play player has just as much of a chance of getting banned as a player who has spent thousands.

The other response is

B) But I was just defending myself, my teammates were ganging up on me!

Okay, they all ganged up on you, which sucks. However, you are still responsible for your own actions. If you called someone a %%%%%% that is still on you, and you can be perm banned for this. The simple solution to this problem is to mute and report.

Then we get into the slurs and hate speech and speech that advocates self harm.

Things like n&&&&& f&&&&& and "kys" fall under this category.

Using any of these can and will get you perm banned.

No exceptions, because:

A) It breaks the Summoners Code (helpfully placed for all to see at the top of this thread) in several places. B) It is offensive and derogatory language in general C) It is against the Terms of Service that you agreed to when you first started playing

A final note. If you were perma banned, it will not be reversed unless it was a mistake

This was meant to be a guide to help players who don't understand why you were banned. If you have any further questions about why you were banned, submit a ticket to support (https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us) or make a forum post where helpful players will answer you.

Have a nice day!
