I got permabanned for responding to trolls. Riot's response is disgusting.

I was lagging and some trolls decided to start trash talking me for playing bad so I responded. Then a few days after my permaban, I said on the forums that if I don't respond to the trolls I will have pent up anger and cut myself. Riot's response to this was to delete that comment and ban my account from the forums for 7 days. And said the reason for that was because the comment was racist and homophobic. This is how they deal with people on their game making other people want to commit suicide. They just sweep it under the rug so nobody finds out. Mods are you retarded? What if I was still upset from having my account that I've worked hard on for 4 years becoming permanently banned? I might have killed myself if I was still upset. But I'm actually glad that my account got banned because this game is horrible. It's full of trolls and I lag on it because Riot are cheap with their servers. I don't lag on any other game so I know it's not me. Riot doesn't care if their game and the people that play on it make me want to kill myself. They will probably just delete this thread too and pretend I don't even exist.

Sir, I recommend you call 411 and get help. Threatening suicide should simply never be done, and you need help. It's not fair to put your personal welfare in the lap of a company. I hope you can get a hold of some state resources for suicide counseling or contact Project Semi Colon as they have some great resources also.

You retaliated to trolls, which is not acceptable. Threatening to do something unless something is done for you is called holding hostage, and it is also unacceptable to threaten responsibility unless your demands are met.

Again, the holding hostage. League is a game, it shouldn't be something that is worth your life. Also, saying you want to kill yourself because of a perfectly normal action of deleting something is entirely irrational. If you feel so strongly about being banned that you want to kill yourself, I strongly recommend a psychologist before you do something you cant take back.

Sorry about your situation but your ban is sticking.

I think it's because there really are people who cut themselves and it's kind of a serious mental health type issue.

Therefore your 'joke' is really a category 2 thought crime.

Are they online multiplayer games like this one? It could just be your network. There's a connection issue guide you can take a look through (if you decide to make another account, that is).

If you are willing to cut yourself over a video game, you need an outlet. Take some martial arts or boxing. ;-)

Are you seriously threatening suicide over a video game? Also, do you know this is really dangerous?

If you say homophobic and racist stuff, you get banned. Bye.
