I just got perma banned and my chatlogs dont reflect a perma ban (IMO)

Utility BackIine··14 votes·9,121 views

Hello,

I have been playing since Pre-Season 1 and just got one of my many accounts Permanently Banned. Attached is the chatlog to my one and only game of chatlog provided. Thoughts? Is this perma ban deserved? I don't think it is, but if it happened, then perhaps the public can help me see why this is perma ban worthy. I do appreciate constructive feedback, as I have 4 more accounts to play on I'd like to avoid losing them as well, but I really do not see this as a perma ban. I understand how the banning works in that I have received prior punishments, but if this is all it took to get the final nail in the coffin - then idk... seems a little odd to me. I could be wrong though!

Game 1 Utility BackIine: kog barrier Utility BackIine: most interesting Utility BackIine: barrier sucks bot lane, but 17 yr olds are radical beings Utility BackIine: we do fight Utility BackIine: 2v2 we win Utility BackIine: i play aggro Utility BackIine: hence iginite and maxing Q Utility BackIine: yes Utility BackIine: i do Utility BackIine: brb op.gg time Utility BackIine: p5 50 games Utility BackIine: knew it Utility BackIine: you're not Utility BackIine: at all Utility BackIine: 50 games p5 Utility BackIine: kek Utility BackIine: muted Utility BackIine: kog im telling you im a smurf we win every 2v2 Utility BackIine: mute riven hes low p4 Utility BackIine: fight dont run Utility BackIine: ? Utility BackIine: we win 2v2s if you fight Utility BackIine: you cancelled 2 autos Utility BackIine: i get to diamond ez raka aggro Utility BackIine: ? Utility BackIine: muted Utility BackIine: oh you started cull Utility BackIine: ... Utility BackIine: so you force us into a passive playstyle Utility BackIine: which will cost us lane Utility BackIine: you need to be more open to teamwork Utility BackIine: dont fight Utility BackIine: dont fight Utility BackIine: im still maxing Q Utility BackIine: dont fight Utility BackIine: you said it 5 times Utility BackIine: we dont win 2v2s Utility BackIine: wtf... Utility BackIine: i literally listened to you and now you want to fight Utility BackIine: the money i earn from playing aggro Utility BackIine: needs to be compensated for if im playing passive Utility BackIine: i have items to Utility BackIine: if wewere fighting and winnning 2v2s id have no qualm with you farming Utility BackIine: ur afk not farming Utility BackIine: i see Utility BackIine: so thats how we're having fun :) ok Utility BackIine: I need items as well, and you guys are honestly not watching whats happening bot lane Utility BackIine: hes afk'd 4 times to type Utility BackIine: costing himself cs Utility BackIine: all i care about is winning an getting items Utility BackIine: see? Utility BackIine: no? Utility BackIine: sotp typing Utility BackIine: i was buying Utility BackIine: azir bot Utility BackIine: athenes works well with Q maxing Utility BackIine: you can Utility BackIine: yes you can Utility BackIine: you can entirely Utility BackIine: I've done it manytimes on many accounts Utility BackIine: 91 games Utility BackIine: atually

EDIT: I wanted to make a quick edit that since Riot Tantram advised me to open a ticket, I will do that. I never like leaving people in the dark so when the ticket is responded to, and regardless of how it is resolved. I will make a final edit letting you all know the outcome.

Cheers,

FINAL EDIT: I made a final posting as promised to allow those who helped me see the outcome. Thank you all for the constructive feedback. I'll try it Riot's way and see if they can handle all my bullies for me. Admittedly it has been a long time since I've asked an adult to handle bullies, but it worked in elementary I can only assume it will work again.

This chat log in itself would never result in a perma-ban. The issue is you have had many penalties, and got off a 14-day ban not long ago. It was on the lightest end of a chat restriction penalty.

Things don't start off great for you. You immediately start off with giving you lane mate shit about their summoner choice. Not the greatest way to start a budding bot lane relationship <3. After that, your behavior isn't super bad, but you do continue to argue.

Open a ticket with player support. They will review your previous games and see if arguing with teammates is a 1 off after your previous penalties, or if it's something that is a norm.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

I will make a support ticket. However, I am still confused. I am under the assumption you have access to entire logs, and perhaps even champ select logs. My whole team was giving each other shit for me running Ignite over Heal, as my AD wanted to run Barrier or Cleanse. I don't like Heal so I kept Ignite (I don't believe I responded). In game I think someone commented about me running Ignite (not in a negative way but more in a debate like fashion). So I pointed out my thoughts on Barrier. Where I point that out - is that REALLY considered "giving him shit"? I feel like I just don't see the world the way you do, Tantram. To me thats just back n forth - They call ignite on Soraka shit I throw a shot back. Is that truly wrong? I'm not saying you're wrong but... It doesn't feel that bad to me.

I will open a ticket, and if you can give me your two cents on what I just added here... I will take that advice I apply it to future games on my other accounts.

Cheers,

for this i dont think you deserve punishment of any kind. were you a bit of an ass ? yea but no worst then anything i see in every damn game i play. the thing is they are basing your punishment off of your history. not off of this game. basically you got reported. maybe by more then one team mate. and since you been flagged as a "bad boy" you get no leeway ... its kinda like the 3 strike laws. you get convicted twice do your time and do good for a while and the smallest thing that normally would be a misdemeanor is now a felony due to your priors and cuz of your priors this is 3rd strike so you get life. its bullshit...

that is why mandatory minimums in the legal system are bad and so is the punishment system of league.

everything needs to be looked on a case by case situation , where history does come into play if you keep doing the same thing over and over. say such as hate speech ... then it should have baring on the decision of punishment... but when its clearly a lil arguing and no direct verbal abuse , foul language, hate speech etc i think history needs to be over looked. maybe not a ban for this maybe another chat restriction just based on you being a repeat offender.

i feel at some point after you have had a punishment ... and some time goes by before your next offense if not worst then priors you shouldnt always escalate into the next tier .

I guess at this point I just have to talk Tantram, the Arbiter and some of the people at their word about what they see in my logs. I don't see it their way, but that's what lands me in hot water. I just wish I could receive a list specific do's and don'ts because what I see as following the summoners code, but falling into the grey, others clearly see it a different way.

When a Rioter says, "submit a support ticket", they're basically telling you won't get your account back. Their support ticket system is like talking to a robot that gives you a million different "No I cant do that" sayings.

Yeah. I have not used their Support Ticket in quite some time, but I was always under that impression. I did not intend to come to the forums to unban my account, but more to look for advice so that I don't lose my other accounts. It sucks I've lost this one, and if I am given a chance to redeem myself I would take it seriously. But I honestly came here because my 1 chatlog felt empty and void of what would consitute a perm ban. However, based on what Riot, and Arbiter, and some others have pointed out. I can see more clearly what my chatlog contained, and am learning that maybe what was said there is enough to get me punished, regardless of their punishment tier system. So now its come down to me having to ask myself "Is this a culture I can actually conform to, or do I have to do the drastic mute all forever" or something radical along those lines.

That is definitely not true btw. I have literally never before seen Tantrum tell someone complaining about a ban to open a support ticket. He usually just says "nope, you deserved it, here's why, deal with it."

I honestly see the fact that he's telling you to open a ticket as saying that there's actually some chance you can get your account back. He didn't outright overturn it though, so no guarantee.

I don't think I will get it back, but my goal was never to get my account back, but to express my confusion on the lack of things to glean from my 1 chatlog provided. I assume when they look at my support ticket, they will dig through my account and give me something more concrete. I then plan to take that advice and apply it to my other accounts. My friends all laughed when I told them about this because they read the log and sort of rolled their eyes knowing I have said way worse. However, I do believe I have worked on my behaviour... so you might be right. We'll see!

He does have access to the full logs, your behavioral history, pre/ post / out of game logs and more.

There is a reason why he's telling you to submit a ticket. Probably due to some sensitive information.

What the other players in the game said doesn't matter as each player is responsible for their own behavior. That's why only what you said is present in the chat logs because you are being judged based on your actions alone.*

*By you I mean you in the general sense not you in the literal sense if that made sense.

I accept what I said and I accept that even in my brain this should not have warranted punishement. Riot saw it differently. They want to create a culture of hands tied, observe and report players. I have officially joined those ranks. I feel like such a cuck, don't get me wrong, but the alternative is not being able to enjoy League of Legends. I love this game, so I have had to conform. I assume in time I'll get used to being a victim that seeks protection - for now its a little challenging, but as I just mentioned, I have already found 5 instances of toxicity equal or greater to my chatlogs. Its exciting to be the one bringing the evidence to Riot rather than creating it!

Clearly you don't get it so let me ask you this: when has raging and flaming at a toxic player ever actually stopped them from being toxic? How many times have they just continued on with their behavior after you raged and flamed at them?

Trolls are looking to get a negative reaction out of you, and when you give them it you encourage them to continue with their poor behavior. If you kill them with kindness or simply don't give them the response they want to see then chances are they'll stop trolling and focus on trying to win the game. Even if they don't giving them that negative response is still better than putting your account at risk for a punishment.

I get how frustrating trolls can be: I've had more than my fair share of trolls in a couple of my games. However there are better ways of dealing with them than raging at them in chat. I get frustrated sure, but I just yell and rage at the screen and not in-game. It's not about "creating a culture of hands tied" or "being a victim that seeks protection" it's about being smart not stupid when it comes to dealing with problem players.

P.S. I read the support ticket responses you posted and it seems to me that they did take into account that you felt the ban was unfair, went over the reasons why it wouldn't be lifted and even offered some tips on how to handle situations like that better in the future. Compared to other tickets posted by other users as of late I'd say that this is a really good example of them caring about their customers. There's a difference between them not caring about your thoughts on the matter and you not liking the answers that they gave and in this case this is clearly an example of the latter.

since you're here, can you tell me why in the world would you ban people for cursing? Clean record for 4+ years, and it was ruined by " c u n t " there also goes the border i've been working on. and by clean record, i mean that i've never been punished before. no chat restrict, nothing, and it went straight to a 14 day ban. and don't tell me the bull about removing penalties on my account, i don't care about that.

Do excuse my language, I get moody when I see "Riot" nowadays.

%%%% doesn't fall under "cursing/cussing." Considering it was most likely directed at someone, you got flagged for harassment.

Oh look, it gets blocked by the filter unlike fuck, shit, and bitch. Blocked by filter usually means 0 tolerance.

taking 15 seconds to curse out my team once, nets a 14-day ban. You believe that's perfectly reasonable?

Zero Tolerance. Doesn't matter what I think about it. The company has its policy.

Someone is angry. Perhaps try a nap. Here!

WHY DID I SKIP RESTRICTIONS?

We have a zero-tolerance policy for extreme negative behavior as well as extremely offensive language and remarks made in game towards other players. Since it is a severe disregard for the Summoner’s Code this sort of behavior can result in skipping to a Two week or Permanent suspension. Suspensions of this degree based on negative behavior will not likely be reduced or removed.

I pulled this from https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/207489286-Instant-Feedback-System-FAQ-

It wasn't hidden or anything. See? I use reason to realize and find things. Not even a crusade. Perhaps you should try common sense?

I think the biggest thing I have learned from this conversation is that banter/shit talking leaves the grey area and enters the toxic area. That seems to be the majority opinion based on public responses, and those of an Arbiter and Rioter. One player said it best. You can offer 1 suggestion, and if they say no, just move on. So far on my smurfs I've done what you mentioned. I just drag the chat off the screen and play. Its not as exciting, but it seems to be the only alternative for myself. Hopefully the support ticket will shed some light though!

I'll be honest as I felt I was in my original posting. I was punished prior. I am someone who has not gone a year without being chat banned. I talk back, or I meme, or I can get heated, but after I got a few punishments this year and understood the 3 strike policy I decided to work on maintaining a more constructive way of chatting. Am I always constructive? Probably not, but with this being my only provided chatlog... I'm feeling lost to understand what I did that was so heinous.

The issue is you have had many penalties, and got off a 14-day ban not long ago.

I would like to focus on that specific line.

The main reason Riot switched from a 7+ step "punishment volcano" to the 4-step version we have now is that they discovered whether or not someone changes their behavior has very little to do with the specific punishment or its length. Put another way, it doesn't matter if the first action is a warning or a 2-week suspension.

So, when I see how your posts in this thread are focused more on arguing your behavior "wasn't that bad" than on how you can change to prevent further problems, it reinforces my belief that this perspective on punishment is, in fact, justified. I hope your support ticket gets you your account back and, if it does, I would strongly suggest you focus on how you can be different.

Good luck.

So you suggest I take what was said and accept wholly that it is toxic. IE: I use op.gg to point out how my stats are superior is punishable, wrong, and should never be something you do. I like the game... so I guess I have to accept that. However, I don't feel I am entirely arguing that my behaviour wasn't that bad... I just feel like these things were acceptable at one time, and I always seem to be on the tail end of acceptable and the nose end of unacceptable, like I'm almost perfectly riding the line/grey area. Every year I try to conform better, but every year the sensitivity goes up and the rules get stricter. It feels odd.

I focus on how I can be better/different, but at the same time and in my defense... My 1 chatlog feels very empty. I don't see a lot to work with. Am I blind? It seems people here have gotten me to focus on the summoner spell mentioning, and the op.gg mentioning. So I can remove that stuff from my banter. Or do I have to take a more radical approach? I like banter, I like heated moments, do I have to avoid them entirely to maintain playing League?

I'm sincerely not trying to be rude when I say if you honestly can't tell what is getting you flagged in the log, and you want to keep your accounts from getting banned, you're better off avoiding the "banter" entirely.

I coulnd't tell honestly. That's why I came here. I just see banter/shittalking differently. I see it as a part of the game and a fun part. I liked playing sports and some kid on my team criticized how I played my position. And then it gave me an opportunity to prove him wrong, and shit talk him back. Same went for my opponents. And when the game ended, I loved those moments where you could continue the argument and shit talking. Sometimes they got the better of me, or their critiques stuck more. Or I lost the game and they rubbed it in my nose, and it sucked. But on flip side, when it didn't suck and when you felt superior it was great. It kept me coming back to Soccer, High School sports, online gaming. I try to envision playing this game and all anyone has said was "GL HF" "Need wards" "summs down" "Can you do x?" "No." "Ok." "Lets baron." "ggwp". Seems... idk... a little boring. I'm clearly in the minority for thinking this way, which is why I'm in this situation. So as I've said to others, thanks for the advice, I will have to take your advice and run with it for the sake of my other accounts.

Cheers

Yes it should. He is annoying af. He is acting like a jerk because he is smurf, degrading people based on their rank, bossing teammates around. He is also being very negative. If he had 14 days ban this is enough for perma ban. Anyone who comes into ranked, claims he is smurf and tries to boss people around deserves punishment.

We don't see what was said to him so that is an unfair statement. Would you sit there and be insulted by someone way lower skill then you? Sure maybe 10% of the community mutes and ignores people but you know the vast majority do not and it is unfair to punish someone for a mutual disagreement. With the full chat log we would know more but even if no one said anything to him all game what he said was not out of line with what I see in every single game I play.

I would have muted him and reported him after game. We dont need full chat log. Only matters what OP did and said.

Also, "way lower skill than you"? If i got 1 RP every time someone claimed he is smurf and tried to pressure team to play his way i could buy full Star Guardian bundle now.

So you are a beta congrats. The rest of humanity does not run from disagreements we engage in them to learn from them and grow as people. I do agree with your final statement and with that in the mind the ban is unjust as the things he said were not out of line. As for what he did well there is nothing besides afk or int that is punishable for in game actions and he didn't get banned for that so I assume he didn't do them.

I am beta because i dont want to argue over a video game? And because i dont wanna risk losing account that i put so much money into? Am i alpha if i hide behind monitor spewing insults? Also person who came up with "beta" shit is now crying on his stream all the time to get unbanned.

If someone insults you and you run from that then yes you are a beta. If riot goes around banning everyone who stands up for themselves then they will have a fraction of the playerbase and have zero players with personality. I don't give two sh*ts about any streamers so I don't follow that final remark.

Ye, true alpha would argue with people hiding behind monitor. But hey, thats your opinion. Dont complain about losing account later.

Been playing since right after the game launched never once been punished so I guess not being a beta is okay in Riot's eyes the majority of the time and every once in awhile someone gets unjustly banned like this case.

Well its not on you to decide whether ban was justified. Its up to Riot.

This is pretty PG for a chat log compared to my games.

Unjust perma ban but you should learn to relax a little if riot admits a mistake and unbans you.

That's not how Riot's punishment system works. There are:

10 Game Chat Restriction 25 Game Chat Restriction 14 Day Ban Permanent Ban

The question is: Does this behavior (frequency and intensity of all validly reported games) merit a punishment. If it does, it gives the next punishment. Going 3-6 months of not being validly reported reduces your punishment tier by one level.

You say that this behavior would merit a warning or 3 day ban, which means that you think it's punishable. Riot agreed and punished them based on their current tier.

Utility BackIine5 votes

I understand both your points, but I guess I see this chatlog as something that does not warrant a punishment. I know their is zero point into going into the context of what happened this game, because ultimately what I say is what matters, but this game was not a highly toxic game. Disagreements? Absolutely. Chalk full of toxicity and abuse? Not even close. Me and AD had fundamentally different ways of playing the lane, and at differing points in the lane we tried it the other persons way to zero success. Game imo was a wash, and I jammed out to music and rode the game and looked forward to the next game. Next game (and yuo can check my match history) was a success, after that game I got the perm ban message.

EDIT: Editted two typos

I'm not sure what any of you are talking about. To be honest, I've spent hundreds of dollars on this game, and I opened this account in S1 or so i think, although i played prior... So maybe Riot is at least putting a condom on before they rape me, but I've had two separate 10 game chat restrictions in the past two weeks. To be perfectly honest, it's the exact same as OP right here, and I opened a ticket as well, and even wrote an essay about how it is exactly like the abnormal toxic reality that is the USA and its current state of identity politics and SJW bullshit.

---- None of you know how the punishment system works in the slightest

---- OP did not deserve to be perma'd as long as there is no editing or game left out here!
