I got perma-banned

Hey, before you guys go all out rage mode on me, saying what I did was wrong, I know. I learned that after my first account got perma-banned. On that account, I was really toxic. I received multiple warnings, including in-game chat restrictions, but in the end, I was too toxic. So I was perma-banned. I learned my lesson from that before starting my second account. In this account, I was rarely toxic. In fact, the only people I was toxic to was trolls and people that literally fed on purpose. I didn't know that being toxic towards people that were purposely trying to ruin your game was going to end in a SECOND perma-ban. AND THIS ONE WAS WITHOUT ANY WARNING! If I was warned AT ALL, I would have stopped being toxic immediately, because I would have remembered what happened to my first account. But not even the smallest warning was given. Not even one that said that I was being reported for being negative and that if I don't change my behavior, I would be punished. So I have one question? Why? I researched about this, and so far it looks like Riot is supposed to warn you before perma-banning your account out of nowhere, unless you are hacking (which I was not). Please help me. Thanks.

I don't see the issue. The context is irrelevant. It doesn't matter who you were toxic to. You were toxic. What's the problem again?

From the Instant Feedback System FAQ:

PUNISHMENTS GENERALLY FOLLOW A BASIC ESCALATION PATH:

  • First Offense: 10 Game Chat Restriction
  • Second Offense: 25 Game Chat Restriction
  • Third Offense: Two Week Suspension
  • Fourth Offense: Permanent Suspension

However, it is possible to skip to a Two Week or Permanent suspension based on the severity of the behavior in the game. Excessive negative behavior can result in a Two-Week or Permanent suspension at any time without having a chat restriction on the account.

BUT WHAT IF I REFORM? IS IT POSSIBLE TO GO DOWN THE ESCALATION PATH? Yes! Players who show consistent reform or show positive behavior in their games will help heal their accounts reputation.

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.

Also, not only does Riot have ways of tracking peoples smurf accounts, lower leveled accounts are judged more harshly than higher leveled accounts are in order to prevent people trying to circumvent their punishment on one account and try to be toxic on another account instead.

Odds are that due to your first permaban your ip is on a list and that your actions on future accounts on this ip I highly scrutinized, That or you were REALLY Toxic and pretty much deserved the ban instantly, but that would require death threats or homophobic/racial insults.

Either way, I'm sorry that you got banned, and while I do believe you deserved the ban, I also believe you can rise and improve yourself from it. Third times the charm right? [slayer-jinx-wink]

New accounts are treated more harshly, especially smurf accounts.

your first permban was your warning.

"i was only toxic to other toxic people and people feeding". Oh, so you perpetuated already bad behavior? You deserved it. Saying "he started it!" isn't a legitimate defense.
