Let me be a lesson to any of you who are in a difficult spot in your life right now.

Your life can and will bleed into your gameplay. A tough life at home leads to a tough life on the rift. And Riot aren't babysitters. If you shit on your teammates because you're in an off mood, you will get your upcommance. I learned this the hard way, and I've been graciously gifted a second chance by Riot to fix my behavior. Don't put yourself in my shoes. Stay straight, stay clean, and stay off the rift if your family/work/whatever has you tilted. It's not worth it.

Here's the lovely redeeming message I got from Riot, giving my my last chance, one which I am sure to not spoil;

DEME LOVATO November 1st 2017, 5:09:06 pm Hey Vyr,

After reviewing your account with my team, we're going to be reducing your suspension. I do want to note that this suspension was justified - you were issued a two week suspension and ANY form of negativity after that point will result in a permanent suspension.

Still, I'm willing to give you a second chance here and reduce this back to a two week suspension.

While I get other players can be tilting - sometimes they're feeding, other times they're just straight up flaming everyone - that doesn't excuse your own dialogue. As the mantra goes, "You can't control how others act, but you can control how you react."

Oftentimes, engaging with negativity only contributes to it and that's something we don't want to condone either.

In the future, I'd recommend you mute players, focus on your own gameplay, and report them at the end of the game. In this scenario, the only people who are likely to be punished are the ones you report and not yourself.

Keep in mind that this two week suspension will put your account in a dire state and any further instances of negativity (no matter how small) will result in a permanent suspension (similar to what happened to you after coming back from your two week). Aside from the tips above, the best piece of advice I can give is to simply not use chat at all as doing so only opens up your account for punishment.

As a a final note, your account should be available on November 15th at 1:07pm PST. If you're in a different timezone, I'd definitely recommend that you check out this converter to help you figure out when you'll be able to access your account!

VYR THIRKU November 4th 2017, 1:34:25 am Thank you so much. I am in a very difficult place in my life right now. Nearly homeless, dementia addled grandfather, no job and SSI is running me around the course... I have been under a LOT of stress and I definitely should think of maybe not playing ranked until things are figured out. I certainly hope that I can live up to your guys's expectations once the ban is lifted once more and if it happens again I will know for sure that I have a serious problem. But I will do everything within my humanly power to make sure it doesn't. I want to be a force of good. Not noxian scum.

DEMACIA!!!
