How do I reform?

DeathMarkYourMom··1 votes·982 views

So I just got a 2 week ban right now, and I know that first is 10 chat restricts, after its 25 chat restricts, then its 2 week ban, and lastly a perma ban, Im just wondering after my 2 week ban how long do I have to wait until it resets and goes back to 10 chat restricts. Ive heard around like 3 months. Also during the 3 months am I able to just not play league until it resets, or will I have to play games?

There's no set time frame the more games you play with good behavior the less each individual report weighs against you.

On a side note - I would consider changing your summoner name "DeathMarkYourMom" already essentially sets you up for getting reported.

I am asking when will my next punishment go back to 10 chat restricts instead of next one being perma ban, and can I just wait it out without playing any games?

Because once I had like next punishment was going to be 2 week ban, but then it said congrats,thanks for staying positive and then a few weeks later my punishment became 10 chat restricts. I waited around like 2-3 months

Oh sorry, I was looking at another thread about hextech eligibility at the same time.

I recommend focusing less on the time, and more on the behavior. If you correct the behavior, the time will take care of itself. That said, you do have to actually play to prove that you've reformed. Simply staying away from the game doesn't show them that you're behavior is any better. They need actual proof.

I don't know the details around the ban, but I'm assuming it was for chat behavior. Given that, here are a few general recommendations on what to do (and what not to do) once you're back from your 2-weeks to make sure you don't lose your account.

  1. Aim for neutral first. Riot doesn't expect players to go from 2-week bans to suddenly being top-tier examples of positive players. If you try to do this, you'll probably just stress yourself out which won't help your situation at all. All you have to do is not be negative, and they'll see you as improving. Keep this in mind for the rest of the points here.
  2. Impose a self-chat restriction. At the most extreme, just communicate solely through pings, and avoid spam pinging on top of allies to vent frustration with them. If you feel you can manage it, you could also give yourself a limited set of allowed phrases that you use in chat, and nothing else. These would be gameplay-related things like "dragon", "baron", "push x lane", or maybe even the occasional "gj" when allies get kills or objectives, or if your jungler gives a good gank.
  3. If your biggest issue is retaliation against other players when they start to go off in chat, be proactive towards avoiding that from the start. You could just get into the habit of doing a "/mute all" at the start of each game. Or else you could move the chat box so it's mostly off the screen so you can't see when allies are raging at you. If you think you can handle it to a certain point, perhaps you leave people unmuted at the start, but then be quick to mute them the moment you feel remotely compelled to respond.
  4. Make a habit of giving a cursory "GG" after the game. Some might feel it's a bit contrived, but it's still good sportsmanship and an easy way to get into that habit. And don't augment it with anything (no GG EZ), unless the other team had an AFK where a "sorry about the leaver" can be a nice, polite touch.

If you put these into practice, you should be able to avoid further punishments on your account. After all, the basic criteria for avoiding bans is "don't be a dick". Make a habit of these things and you'll be able to enjoy playing without fear of punishment for a long time.

See my friend, its physically impossible for me to be just a "NICE" guy running around saying Nice job man, cmon we got this team. Ive used alot of time of this game and money around 500$+ and gotten alot of accounts perma'ed, Id rather stick to just waiting like 3 months until it resets to 10 chat restricts then start to play again, but im wondering if I need to play games during the 3 months of I can just wait it out and it will reset.

Reread everything I said. It's even formatted so it's not a wall of text :) I have explicitly answered your question about simply waiting three months, and also explicitly stressed that you do NOT have to be the "nice" guy, as you put it. Neutral is perfectly fine.

GUYS!, I am asking if I can just wait the 3 months out. If I wait and dont play will it reset still, or I have to play during the 3 months in order for it to reset back to 10 chat restrictions. Thanks!

There is really no set time frame. It goes based on activity and behavior during that activity. 3 months of consistent good behavior during consistent activity seems to be the norm, but the time frame may be longer, or it may be shorter. It all depends.

So I have to play the game during the time...

Pretty much

Some guy said this: First off the punishments are normally handed out in an escalating fashion and as follows:

1st punishment: 10 Game chat restriction 2nd punishment (which you are on): 25 game chat restriction 3rd punishment: 14 day ban 4th/final punishment: Permanent ban

Anyways on to how long without getting reported that can result in a punishment (false reports do not count against you): 3 months. I hope this helps!

And another guy said this: You improve by 1 tier every 3 months without punishment. So after 3 months you will get another 25 game chat restriction and after 6 months you will be back to 10 game chat restriction.

They all say you need to wait 3 months

Can we bring a riot employee to answer my question? Everyone has different answers and Im confused, please help @Riot

Please stop 'bumping'. It doesn't do anything on this boards format and in fact is quite frowned upon.

You're question has been answered, though. There is no set time limit anymore, specifically to enforce the idea that you have to show you've improved your behavior in game, rather than just avoiding the game for 3-9 months in order to magically be considered 'reformed'.

As I said before, it's 100% required that you do play the game to actually prove you've gotten better. The time window should be irrelevant, as you should simply focus on making a habit of behavior that won't get you into this position to begin with.
