Reformed unban me pls

I talked to a rioter and he told me to come here to attempt to get an additional chance.

Let me start this off my saying, riots punishment system is bad. By banning people permanently for talking doesn't make sense, when riot could easily just chat restrict them indefinitely or shadow mute them, making their teammates unable to see what they're saying. This would actually help player retention as well as help riot be a nice safe space for gamers :)

In my situation, I was permabanned for saying the f word (new f word), but had never been chat restricted. I got banned for homophobic language, but everyone who's played videogames for the past 5 years knows this word isn't meant in a homophobic manner. It's literally just people attempting to offend someone who has provoked them.

Now, I'm okay with riot not wanting people to say it, but if that's their goal, why not just perma-chat restrict people???? This is like someone having gangrene in their foot, but instead of amputating just the foot, cutting off their whole leg. I dont understand what riot gains from permabanning players, that wouldn't be accomplished by just perma chat restricting them.

Other than that, please unban me !! " :))))

Permanently chat banning people has shown an increase in those individuals toxicity multiple studies have shown this.

I feel like when a rioters tells someone to come on here and ask to be unbanned they are hoping you will recognize your actions where bad and this would be a heartfelt try to convince the community you changed for the better.

Instead you come here and say the system sucks and what you didn't wasn't wrong . Personally as someone who happens to relate to that word I don't really enjoy hearing it in game...it is a hate word simple fact.

If you called someone a homophobic slur or some variation of it, then I do think a punishment was necessary.

What do the rest of your chat logs say? What prior punishments had you received prior to arriving at a permanent ban?

Sure, a punishment may have been necessary, but a permaban? idk man. I had never been chat restricted before :(

If you hadn't received a punishment previously, then you normally get a 2-week ban; however, there are cases where a single offense is escalated to a permanent ban. That's pretty rare though.

They used to perma-mute players but found that it just led to them trolling and being toxic in non chat-related ways, so they don’t do it anymore. Sorry but there’s not much chance of getting your account back.

Don't you think when they dont unban players they make new accounts and are even more toxic? T1 did that, but then twitch was gonna ban him, cuz going against the games rules is against tos.

Some do, but most give up, or they come back and learn from their mistakes.

A lot of it is kids who think they cant get banned (just like they think they cant give their computer STDs by torrenting porn, or think they cant get caught doing X dumb thing - until they are.

It is highly unlikely that a Rioter told you to come post here for clemency. Only a Rioter has the power to remove a punishment, and they (almost) exclusively only do it through a support request. That being said, their general policy is to not remove punishments that were not in error.

Based on your OP, your punishment does not fall into this category.

"Now I don't want you to feel like I'm talking at you. I'm only here to help you understand how the systems in place work. If you're interested in discussing whether you deserve an additional chance, then I would recommend you bringing this up on the Player Behavior boards, where your fellow players and some of the Player Behavior development team frequent."

this is what the rioter told me

First of all when you say the new f word there are many, and also that is a homophobic slur, go to google dictionary and you will see the meaning also riot can see what type of tense you have used the word in as a result you have been banned the fact that you try to cover it up or trick people to think you said something else as this is misleading false information, basically from what we know you could've said the word fire truck, however the fact you didnt tell us the real word we will think your ban was unjust, however that word is extremely offensive as a result you got banned.

Also make clear of what word you said and i know what you mean but google it

A chat restricted player is a huge liability to their team. Best to just remove them or make them start over, hopefully wiser.

There is no way you skipped straight to permban just for one minor infraction, though..

I wish that were true, but I just got permad. No chat restrict ever :(

Full logs/reason for ban?

That seems extreme, usually homophobic/racist terms just get a chat restriction or temp ban, the first time.

I have never seen someone banned for a single thing unless it was absolutely spectacular back-to-back games of outrageous flaming.

Do you mind me asking how old you are? Curious of the age of someone who thinks it’s ok to call someone the f word then rationalizes it with “well I don’t mean it in a homophobic sense.”

Terms of Service say you need to be 13 to play League. Just FYI. I'm assuming you're not really 12 though. If you are, congrats on being well spoken via text. Stop using slurs. Also, you need to be 13 to play this game.

TheProfezzorDec 9, 20181 votes

Not really offended tbh just think it's a really dumb thing to call someone.
