Question about the restriction/banning system

EmotionalPlayer··1 votes·737 views

So I just got banned for 14 days without ever receiving a chat restriction, I find it very misleading to think you wont be banned until you at least had some form of warning, seems a bit ludicrous, considering how much time I put into this game. Sure I may have deserved some form of punishment for acting and or behaving toxic, but I normally am not so toxic, its just been these past couples days that i've been on edge because my fiance is away and I am just super easily triggered, normally when she's here I am able to keep my cool and actually try not to talk to toxic people engaging in a pointless argument. For example today I was playing a game where I was going Irelia and i went 21/8, my team wasn't doing so well, and that usually doesn't bother me so much, but when my 7/18 rengar, and my 5/15 yasuo start flaming at me blaming me for everything, "oh irelia wp farming top, noob lose us the game" after i literally pinged as many times as i was allowed to ping after pushing mid, I even wrote in chat "back up i have to defend top" because the wave was very large and would easily take our top tower. Then they continue flaming me and calling me bad and blaming me everytime they go in 1v5. Sure I got toxic and retaliated, but there were only a max of like 2 games where i was toxic towards anybody, I find it very unfair to have just out of the blue received a 14 day ban (especially because i have nothing to do while my fiance is gone) after no warning whatsoever.

But I will put that behind me and take the punishment and just suck it up because it was deserved (maybe not a 14 day ban for a first offense but still) My question is, after you have received a 14 day ban for example, how long do on average will i have to wait before receiving hextech chests again, and will it always be like the next time i even open my mouth to say something slightly offensive i will get banned permanantly or does it eventually decay so that you go back to the bottom for example like if i got restricted again after a year of no toxicity would i still be perma banned or would i receive another 2 week ban and or chat restriction. we all have those moments where we tell somebody to stop being an asshole for calling my mother's a whore and that I'm adopted and i was a waste of space, even the sweetest nicest players call somebody an asshole every once in a while. So if anybody could answer this for me or if i didn't even make sense at all just let me know.

You only skip chat restrictions for extremely toxic behavior that warrants it. You can consider it your warning before a permaban.

after you have received a 14 day ban for example, how long do on average will i have to wait before receiving hextech chests again

It depends on your behavior and how much you play (if you don't play it won't ever drop off). Since the 14 day is the highest punishment you can get and still play, it's going to take a while, but if you play several times a day I'd guess you could work it off in a month or two if you've really reformed. For just a 10 game chat restriction it might take something like 40 games.

i will get banned permanantly or does it eventually decay

Yes the punishment tiers do decay. On average it takes players about 3 months to move down a tier, but it's dependent on your behavior; if you don't show you've improved you may be skirting a permaban for a long time.

I seen several people go from a chat restriction to a perma-ban. The system isn't good and all it takes a 4 man premade to get you permabanned after you 14 days. So best of luck.

Gang reporting doesn't work since all it takes is just one report to flag the game for review. If you did nothing wrong then the report is labeled as false and is thrown out. From Riot Tantram:

Actually, Erdrik is correct here.

A report flags a game for review. They do not establish guilt. The game is then reviewed for harassment, feeding, etc. This is why 'troll reporting' or 'gang reporting' do not work. False or inaccurate reports are thrown out.

You cannot ever be punished for saying nothing .. unless of course it's for something gameplay related like feeding, afking or cheating. But, you can never be punished for offensive language, hate speech or verbal abuse if you said nothing.

This banning system has to change im so sick of this because banning players dont help at all.THEY SPENT THEIR TIME AND MONEY ON THE GAME...GAME CHAT BAN RESTRICTIONS ARE THE WAY TO GO BECAUSE u only have a limited time to talk and u talk about the important things unlike saying "Gg" or something uneccessary... sry for my spelling

1st & 2nd offence for being toxic ARE chat restrictions. If they didn't reform during that time, they'll eventually get suspended and then permabanned, just like you did. Not the system's fault that you refuse to reform at all.

I never got a chat restriction, but k if you say so

Then it goes to show that your toxicity is higher than average, causing you to skip the chat restrictions & straight to permaban.

No they shouldn't. Just like in real life paying money doesn't magically exempt you from the rules. If you can't or won't interact with others in a neutral or positive manner then multiplayer online games are not for you.

Oh because i'm sure you haven't ever been "negative" towards another player before, everybody's innocent until they get banned and then they come here and complain, literally. You can't tell me and everybody here that you are positive to all players in league no matter what situation especially when you are going through a hard time in real life and when people are bringing you down every game by insulting you when you are literally not saying anything and just trying to win the game. I only flame at people who flame at me directly and honestly i usually just ignore them, but some occasions its quite hard to just sit back and take it in the *** every single day from this community.

I never said that I was a saint, I'm not. I get frustrated the same as anyone else, especially when I'm on a losing streak, but I have yet to be warned or banned. I'll usually ask or tell people to stop behaving poorly first and if they refuse then I just mute, ignore and report them. Also if I'm super frustrated I just rage at the screen and not in-game. Doing this ensures that I don't get in trouble for my actions in-game. Raging back at them isn't gonna do anything except waste time that could be better spent playing the game.

Post screenshots of your reform cards or there is nothing to discuss about your ban.

That name implies auto guilt that very bad games are intent fee. May be the problem and irreversible decision wise.

It's a pun name, I have a premade trio name with my fiance and my best friend because we thought it would be funny to have ironic names considering we don't usually feed so hard, we are the ones usually carrying our games ^^ So next time don't just somebody based off of their name over a game mate.

Here's a tip to not get perma banned. Unbind you enter key and minimize the chat box.
