"Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them." Bruce Lee
Even if Riot doesn't forgive you, I forgive you.
I have played this game since the beginning of season 1, I like to think i was a decent teammate to have on the team. Maybe i wasn't the most skilled player ever, but I didn't complain about anyone else's skill. If someone was better than me, i tried to learn from them.
Somewhere along the way, after thousands of games, where i endured listening to people complain (usually in ways deemed toxic). I had grown tired of the game, I didn't think Riot cared about this problem and honestly I became overwhelmingly tired of it. After having a rough month with family issues, I guess i lost my good teammate sense, during this time for whatever reason when a teammate would complain and be extremely toxic, I started calling them out on mistakes they were making in game because i felt they should be worrying about themselfs. This lead to heated conversations, which only happened about 3 times over the thousands of games i played. In the end i got permanently banned.
Yes i made mistakes, but i learned that Riot did care about these things. It may have been unfortunate timing that this happened right after Riot released the current ban system and that i didn't believe they were serious about this because i saw it almost every game, from one team or the other.
Yet no one is perfect, we have ALL had our bad days. We have ALL made our mistakes.
As of right now Riot does not forgive. I think it is time for them to start. They will see that people can change. They will see that from darkness can come light.
Be like water friends and thank you for your time.
