i just got perma banned for defending myself against homophobic toxic behavior from an enemy rengar

huehuahuehuahueh·11/23/2016, 5:05:42 PM·2 votes·1,641 views

I am not a toxic player, nor do i condone toxic behavior; nonetheless, I was in a normal game and a rengar was saying "%%%" everytime he killed someone and myself. I found it extremely offensive due to the fact that I am gay in real life. I told the rengar he would be reported and literally the whole team apparently was homophobic and i ended up getting perma banned for defending myself against this homophobic behavior.

Apparently , riot supports homophobia by literally throwing me an insta ban 5 min after the game ends??? what should I do? this is my main account, and I have spent so much time and effort in it and I do not feel that they have a right to ban my account for defending myself

edit: Apprently everyone thought the rengar was funny for saying "%%%" after everytime he killed someone , and to me, who is gay, it was extremely offensive.

Nonetheless, apparently everyone thought he was funny and everyone was homophobic and thought it'd be funny to report me.... hence the ban?! I sent riot a ticket, and am awaiting a response.

Should i expect my account to be unbanned after review? I usually NEVER say anything in /all chat

Defending yourself would have involved muting the offender (to spare yourself) and reporting them after the game (to spare others).

Instead, it sounds like you decided to counterattack and add to the toxic environment rather than removing yourself from it.

if you really just defended yourself i bet you dont mind posting your chatlogs here, because like the great boards rule "chatlogs or it didnt happen" i only believe what i see

perma banned for defending myself against homophobic toxic behavior

No you didn't. In fact, if anything, Riot actually CONDONES and ENCOURAGES muting and reporting toxic behavior.

yea .. punishing you for bad behavior has got nothing to do with supporting racism or hate speech.

Permabans don't come from just one game.

I don't think the word defend means what you think it means.

also, i dont know how long you have been on the internet. but ill give you a hint.

the proper answer to someone calling everyone "%%%"

is NEVER: "As a real life gay person i take high offense to that word"

never ever ever under any circumstance is disclosing that something bothers you on the internet a good idea. EVER. also disclosing gender, sexuality, religion, or political opinion is NEVER EVER A GOOD IDEA. like, there are no mitigating set of circumstances that make any of the above ok ever.

Can't justify anything unless you post the full chat logs, and not copy paste either, but screen shot.

If you talked shit then no, you shouldn't expect your account to be unbanned. That being said I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience.

How about posting your chat logs......

Never come to a desert expecting rain, never come to the boards expecting the community to say anything other than you deserved it. But i will offer a couple things you can do.

Right now you have multiple courses of action,

  1. Write a support ticket: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

      nothing is gonna be done in most cases they don't usually lift any kind of permaban (they are SJW degenerates that don't understand reason)      (the kind that shout racist, sexist, etc at anyone with a view other than their own, in this case their favorite words are toxic and negative) (fyi this is why democrats lost since we think you are all nuts and voted for trump(may the world have mercy upon us)) 
    
  2. Buy another account / hand lvl a new account

    this is technically not recommended and can get you banned, but others do it all the time and can save you loads of time on actually getting champs and pages. IF YOU DO THIS DON'T TELL ANYONE!!

  3. (REALLY JUST A OPTION) Dispute all charges you have made on credit cards/paypal, if you aren't actively getting what you paid for you can dispute charges for up to 6 months back in most cases and have seen multiple instances where these claims hold up in court.

  4. (THE BEST FOR LAST) Carry on my wayward son there won't be a Riot when we are done. Learn to play Dota 2 (most of these degenerates can't climb the steep learning curve and is the best natural barrier to them ) Or you can play Hot (heroes of the storm) or smite but I rather dislike these games and wouldn't recommend them since they are entirely different games to a traditional MOBA. Also reply and I will provide an email to contact me if you have trouble climbing the DOTA 2 learning curve (but all heroes are free and just takes a little time)

Best part about this option you can get banned in chat and still play this game. All they do is permaban you from you using chat in-game. Though honestly with the voice chat I usually have much better experiences in Dota 2 than in lol since the community is actually better since it takes time to actually learn the game. IE most of these plebs pick up this game and smash buttons till they feed.

If you have a reply that isn't from huehuahuehuahueh, I will give you some advice in advance and tell you to type it in notepad and delete it because it will do you about just as good.

" A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. " I hope that I might add you on steam one day huehuahuehuahueh and playing a game with you, I'm sure it would be interesting.

PS Sorry about the formatting , like the client their boards are also detestable with weird formatting.

Also I consider every down-vote a win so please do down-vote. It fills my soul with a passion knowing how i filled your soul with disdain for my stance and glad when my views are given merit by an unjust group that only offers fingers that point than hands to take.

This is why we call those players "toxic". Their attitude infects other people, and makes them toxic as well. The system doesn't (and shouldn't) discriminate between the initiator and the infected. The only proper solution is mute, play, report.

Did Riot send you any Chat logs when you got banned?

vampirekid1311/24/2016, 7:44:57 PM1 votes

this is almost 100% not why you got banned.

you got banned for flaming. riot, the community, the system dont care about any extra circumstances.

also you probably said some pretty mean things if you skipped the whole 10 and 25 game chat restrictions and the 2 week ban and went straight to permaban.

also riot bans people for saying they will report or asking others to report someone. you gotta shut up and just report them yourself at the end of the game.
