Riot have just perma banned me for no reason

BaradusWins··2 votes·1,109 views

Ive just been permanently banned from League by riot for being 'unsportsmanlike' my past 30 games have been nothing but me encouraging my team to win (previous 14 day ban which is why ive been really careful in chat) which has allowed me to win games quite easily. The game chat log they have gave me, i have not said 1 offensive word or verbally abused/whatever to a single person. I simply say that people need to report the mid laner as she went afk, and if everyone reports her she will get banned, simple logic and you would assume that would be the case. However in champion select for the second time in the past month i see 'banned' on my screen. This time permanent, 1. why do it in champ select so i lose LP??? (almost intentional by them) 2. banned for no reason gj riot. I hope people come to realise that they abuse power or it is simply an algorythm that bans people for typing alot in the chat even if its not offensive in any way. £250+ many hours invested onto my account. If i dont get unbanned and reset with these scaling ban things im pretty much never coming back to this game and will be encouraging others to also completely avoid it at all costs.

The chat logs suggest there's no reason for you to be banned, so that's absolutely ridiculous. Hope Riot unban you soon.

Must have been a mistake on riots part, no real reason to get banned for what was said. GL getting unbanned.

Game 1 BaradusWins: shiled me BaradusWins: orianna reported BaradusWins: intentional feeding BaradusWins: you didnt shield me BaradusWins: at all BaradusWins: you ulted BaradusWins: not shield BaradusWins: i cry coz ur inting BaradusWins: kha BaradusWins: stop going top BaradusWins: you have a nice kda yes BaradusWins: but you are useless for the team right now BaradusWins: they are pushing mid and u do nothing BaradusWins: report kha BaradusWins: refusing to help the team BaradusWins: ur 0/6 and feeding BaradusWins: he's still more helpful BaradusWins: report ori, afk BaradusWins: ori play BaradusWins: still winnable BaradusWins: your account is going to get banned BaradusWins: if u get x9 BaradusWins: and they look at the game BaradusWins: flame? o.O BaradusWins: erm BaradusWins: who's flamed you BaradusWins: +1 BaradusWins: troller BaradusWins: wtf BaradusWins: x9 ori BaradusWins: she will 100% get banned BaradusWins: just orianna BaradusWins: she's intentionally gone afk and lost us this game BaradusWins: because she lost lane BaradusWins: lol for what BaradusWins: 'flaming' BaradusWins: by that she means, asking to report her for going afk BaradusWins: logic BaradusWins: you left BaradusWins: me to die BaradusWins: why BaradusWins: ok so he's trolling aswell by that message

That is the full chat log and only chat log they gave me, as you can see i typed alot of messages however none offensive, a reportable on this game is refusing to help the team, which kha'zix did and i stated during the game. so i said thats pretty useless, again makes sense. Orianna was afk so i asked everyone to report her as she would 100% get banned as they would see she went afk. Theres really no harm/malicious talk from me during this game. INSTEAD im the one to get PERMANENTLY banned.... ok riot??? erm wtf

You harassed your team. AFK's are automatically reported and there's no reason to ask for bans, asking for bans is considered harassment. Whether this is actually why you got banned or if there's another reason can only be answered by Riot, but that's my best guess, although in addition you also called people useless and got mad and said "reported"for what was apparently just them not doing well, and were honestly just very rude this game. A bad kda!=feeding it could just mean a bad game.

Also, multiple reports in a single game don't guarantee punishment as the report system is a Boolean system;

if playerReported = yes (...) else (...)

And while it does store the number of reports that number has no use in the automated system and is instead used in manual review by actual people.

BaradusWins1 votes

i harassed my team? erm how. Also i didnt ask for bans, i said this person gets banned 100% if we report them which is what they deserve for going afk. Also the point of your kda statement doesnt actually make sense as kha'zix had a good kda, but refused to help the team because of his kda... which was my point. Not rude at all, simply stated the exact events of what was going on during this game. How can you say 'apparently them not doing well' She was afk, and the game proves that. its rewatchable, her chat logs would also say that she's intentionally losing the game as thats what she said.

BaradusWins1 votes

On a side note, the whole enemy team agreed during the game to report them as it was INTENTIONAL.

Toxic Parasite1 votes

Ok maybe they trolled maybe they played bad bad tbh in my personal opinion your chat log looks to me like you abused people so bad... Spamming report in chat wont make them play better they will play even worse because they are under pressure and they are maybe trying to be nicer... Look next time try to be nice and you will notice changes

BaradusWins1 votes

you can literally see the whole chat log, please point out to me where there is any abuse there? In all seriousness if thats your view and people agree with that then they need to man up and play a different game. She was AFK, ruined the game for the whole team, ban her, not me.

The Cream Reaper1 votes

then they need to man up and play a different game.

i genuinely hope you will follow your own advice and not make a new account

BaradusWins1 votes

missing the point, spent money on this game and banned for 'negative attitude' essentially. If that was the case everyone who plays this game would be permanently banned. They can't just permanently ban me for no reason.

The Cream Reaper1 votes

spending money on this game does not give you a free pass to be toxic. riot judges all players the same regardless if they spent 10$ or 3k $ (there have been posts like that)

They can't just permanently ban me for no reason.

you gave them plenty of reasons

seasonedfox1 votes

dude your whole chat log is harassment lol bannable not really id say funny how you say they would be banned and you get banned lmao*[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]*

BaradusWins1 votes

'harassment' i dont think any of you know what harassment means. Stating a person needs to be banned for being afk is not harassment. Unanimously 9 players talking about the situation is not harassment, i wasnt the only one stating the events happening in the game. I only got banned because riot is extremely poor, orianna should've got banned end of.

The Cream Reaper1 votes

saying it once isnt harassment

this is however:

BaradusWins: orianna reported BaradusWins: intentional feeding BaradusWins: you didnt shield me BaradusWins: at all BaradusWins: you ulted BaradusWins: not shield BaradusWins: i cry coz ur inting

BaradusWins: you have a nice kda yes BaradusWins: but you are useless for the team right now BaradusWins: they are pushing mid and u do nothing

BaradusWins: report kha BaradusWins: refusing to help the team BaradusWins: ur 0/6 and feeding

BaradusWins: report ori, afk

BaradusWins: your account is going to get banned BaradusWins: if u get x9 BaradusWins: and they look at the game

BaradusWins: x9 ori BaradusWins: she will 100% get banned BaradusWins: just orianna BaradusWins: she's intentionally gone afk and lost us this game BaradusWins: because she lost lane

BaradusWins: 'flaming' BaradusWins: by that she means, asking to report her for going afk BaradusWins: logic

BaradusWins: ok so he's trolling aswell by that message

your lack of self awareness is not even funny

How is this encouraging your team to win? You complaining all game long about the ori is your definition of "encouraging" your team? I call it annoying your team most likely caused them to mute you or obviously reported you.

Yes, they can see that the ori is afk, all 8 of the players in that game can see that. You whining about it all game long and report begging just added onto what is already a bad game for them. This is the definition of unsportmanlike.

Orianna was afk so i asked everyone to report her as she would 100% get banned as they would see she went afk.

This is false. First of all, afk is handled by the LeaveBuster system, not the IFS. Whether you or anyone report her or not does not matter because LeaveBuster is automatic. Secondly, having more than 1 report does not get you punished any faster or harder than the first report. Thirdly, LeaveBuster does not give time ban at all for afk. Worst she will get is 20 minutes Low Priority Queue, so I wouldn't hold any hope she will be time banned, report or no report.

BaradusWins2 votes

Well they clearly need to update their rules then? or actually let people know how people get banned. My whole team agreed with me and also said to report her, and then they clearly need to up the bans for people going afk? how cant you see that ive been banned for no reason here. I literally ask her at one point in the game to play, its still winnable. She refuses. Yet im the one who gets banned? PERMANENT

zPOOPz1 votes

You would not have been banned if no one reported you. While your team may agreed what the ori did was wrong, SOMEONE also think what you did was unsportmanlike hence why he/they reported you also.

If you go back and re-read your chat log, more than 90% of it is targeted at the ori and calling for report or complaining about the ori. Believe me, I have played over 2000 games (might be closer to 3000) since season 3. I have had to deal with afk, troll, flamer, baiter, people who continuously made crude jokes, sexual jokes, slurs, etc. many, many, many times in ranked or normal or hilariously even in AI. Believe me when I say I fully understand how frustrated it is to play with 1 and sometimes even 2,3 afk on your team. I do understand the feelings. But you have to look at it from your other 3 teammates (and even the enemies if you take to all chat). They are frustrated as well and having someone constantly complaining really add a new level of frustration to the game. They have to deal with an afk AND someone who's constantly reminding them of it.

BaradusWins1 votes

guarantee you no one reported me apart from orianna, i.e the one who deserves to be banned and not allow to play the game again, not me a frustrated bystander.

zPOOPz1 votes

While I can somewhat agreed with you that ori might deserved to be banned, however, if you look at your chat log from the viewpoint of a casual observer such as myself, you did harassed the ori no? You can't just go pick a fight with everyone who insulted you. That's a good way to get into troubles. You need to learn to ignore it, report her, and move on with your life. You will only play with her maybe once or twice in your lifetime. Why risk your account for something so stupid?

Chermorg1 votes

You have absolutely no way of knowing who reported you. Many times when Tantram comes around to clarify things, he'll point out that the people who were thought not to have reported actually did report.

Terozu1 votes

You were rude while still on 0% approval mode from the IFS system. You were going to get banned.

wasnt rude thats the point :)

But you were rude thats the problem.

flamers like you have no say in what the rules should be like, ok?

or actually let people know how people get banned. .

at what point did i flame during that game? and no, no it is not.

The Cream Reaper1 votes

at what point did i flame during that game?

if i had to link where you harassed orianna, id have to link all of the chat

harassment = toxic = flame

and no, no it is not

oh really?

If it doesn't contribute to meaningful teamwork, then it shouldn't be typed. Harassing your teammate doesn't contribute to meaningful teamwork, and you left yourself as reportable.

BaradusWins1 votes

'ori play, its still winnable' i guarantee you 100% riot didnt ban orianna, only me. Extremely backwards logic.

Jo0o2 votes

Group reports carry no more weight than single reports, and rallying for reports is harassment. You derailed your game by berating your teammates throughout the entire game, whether it was deserved or not. And since there wasn't any hate speech in these logs, you would have had to pass through the previous punishment tiers of chat restrictions and a 14-day ban, the last of which EXPLICITLY warns you that your next infraction is a perma.

Why would you spend an entire game arguing with and harassing your teammate when you knew you were on your final warning before a perma?

BaradusWins1 votes

why is no one reading what i typed, i argued with no one. I STATED in the game report her she is afk. Also i don't think anyone who plays this game seems to know what harassment means. Can't harrass them anyway if they are afk :)

Jo0o1 votes

There is not a single kind or sportsmanlike word in the entire log. You verbally harassed both your mid laner AND your jungler.

You knew you were on your final warning due to your recent 14-day ban, so why you'd act like this is beyond me. You fucked up.

BaradusWins1 votes

where did i verbally abuse anyone? not a single bad word to a single player, please don't comment if you didnt read the logs.

Chermorg1 votes

As Jo0o said,

There is no reason for you to harass the person by asking for them to be reported. It does absolutely nothing, and the only reason to ask for them to be reported is harassing.

Further, even if they aren't there to see it, more than likely your teammates wanted to focus on trying to win the 4v5. Not having to watch you flame/harass someone for AFKing.

BaradusWins1 votes

no, i was the only one trying to win, hence i said 'play its still winnable' everyone in the game was saying just as much as me. Including the enemy team, saying they hope orianna gets banned. But obviously the chat logs dont show that. No one who plays this game seems to know what harassment means, sorry for your loss.

BaradusWins1 votes

i didnt argue with anyone, everyone agreed with me. Orianna refused to play, i said play its still winnable, she refused. Therefore should be banned, So everyone unanimously agreed to report them. I KNOW what my last ban told me, hence i didnt swear at anyone or verbally abuse. Stated in game events.

  1. why do it in champ select so i lose LP??? (almost intentional by them)

The system will instantly show your reform card and boot you out of the client (no matter what) if you're not in game.

  1. banned for no reason gj riot. I hope people come to realise that they abuse power or it is simply an algorythm that bans people for typing alot in the chat even if its not offensive in any way.

Usually when people say they were "banned for no reason", they did something to warrant the punishment. Do you mind sharing your logs?

£250+ many hours invested onto my account. If i dont get unbanned and reset with these scaling ban things im pretty much never coming back to this game and will be encouraging others to also completely avoid it at all costs.

The only way to get unbanned is if you contact Riot support and they find that the ban is a complete, honest mistake. If you have done things that can be deemed to be "toxic", Riot support won't do anything.

BaradusWins1 votes

Hi thanks for the reply, and the only chat log they gave me is above^^ its basically just me stating whats happening in the game, i.e kha'zix refusing to help the team (bannable offence) and orianna afk (bannable offence). Im almost certain everyone in the game will of reported them however they probably reported me back out of spite and that is how this ban has came about.

Magical Player1 votes

I'm assuming you've been hit with the 14 day ban in the past. if so then this is just the system saying you've not improved

BaradusWins1 votes

Yes 1 month ago, hence i've been highly encouraging to my teams in chat and havent said anything offensive due to my fear of getting perma banned. my chat log from the game is above.

Silent Gravity1 votes

It takes between 3 and 6 months of regular playing with improved behavior to reduce a punishment tier.

General Esdeath 1 votes

lmao all you did was harass your orianna

BaradusWins1 votes

'harass' you cant harass someone who is afk, harassment is having a go at someone over and over. I stated she was afk, needs to be reported to make sure she gets banned. Im the one who gets banned instead.

General Esdeath 1 votes

Why would you need multiple reports? 1 is all it takes. 1 report is as good as 9.

Instead you're just harassing one person because "they're afk", along with "intentional feeding" and "trolling".

The Cream Reaper1 votes

previous 14 day ban which is why ive been really careful in chat)

apparently not careful enough

The game chat log they have gave me, i have not said 1 offensive word or verbally abused/whatever to a single person.

perhaps but that chatlog reeks of harassment directed at ori. that's punishable too ;)

BaradusWins: your account is going to get banned

BaradusWins: she will 100% get banned

the irony
