Why the current banning system of League of Legends is abusable and unjust.

T0 CR4ZY·12/7/2019, 8:55:22 AM·1 votes·2,905 views

Hello, I've been playing this game since 2014, I've achieved many things in this game such as Masters, and I could get possibly get Challenger. But there's something stopping me from getting that, and it's the report system. It's probably stopped a lot of people from getting that as well, I wouldn't doubt it. Now I won't make this the average "I got banned for no reason post." But sometimes people actually do get banned unfairly and unjust. It really isn't right, especially to those that have been playing for so many years and they just lose their account off 1 game. Here's the thing Riot, you try to remove as much as toxicity as possible right? But doing this as well could make a community more toxic as well. Think about it, imagine spending years on a game, you've went through so much, got skins and everything, and one day you're just messing around in chat with your friends and suddenly you are permanently banned. Now I know it's the automated system doing this, which I have an idea to fix this by the way but I'll later talk about it, but for Riot Support to say you cannot have your account back because of the chat logs even if they are mild and not malicious? I will even show proof.

Alright so now you might think, Wow, this guy is a r%%%%%. While that may be true, All of this was for fun. I was playing ranked flex with my friends, We were messing around in chat and by the way I even have proof for this:

[All]T0 CR4ZY: if u think im serious LOL ur out of ur mind

I told them I wasn't serious, it was all a joke, and regardless I was still banned because the automated system deemed it to be toxic. I also do have counter arguments for what I said.

I called them fat because he was playing Gragas, which is a fat champion, so I was saying he was fat as his champion as a joke. I'm sure no one has possibly done this before! (That was sarcasm if you can't tell)

Everything of what I said was meant to be a joke. I tried to make it clear but guess it wasn't clear enough. Riot's argument for this is even though it's a joke, it still effects people because of what is said in the chat. The thing is though, how could it effect anyone if I clearly stated it was a joke? They also have the option to mute, so why didn't they just mute if it effects them that bad? Look I am sorry but if you cannot take a joke in chat, why are you playing a multiplayer game in the first place? Especially one where you queue up with random people to make a team of 5, every game. Everyone is different, and Riot shouldn't make people be one person.

Which leads to me to fixing the report system, I say announce a re-read of the banned players if they choose to, take into account the situation and the explanation they are giving, and unban them if they are not in the wrong. Imagine, losing your account that you have been using for so many years off 1 game. Scary thought but it's a reality, I am a victim, I'm sure many other people are a victim, I am just tired of this terrible report system still being in the game and there should be change.

Also a possible implementation: Make a tribunal but for a certain elo. Riot has said before that it is unreliable because of the amount of people. So, make it so that maybe platinum+, or diamond+ can use this tribunal. It would not only give an incentive to climb higher, but it would be more efficient.

The comments that are homophobic here are more than enough to merit this punishment, not even taking into account your useless constant spam in chat otherwise.

It really isn't right, especially to those that have been playing for so many years and they just lose their account off 1 game.

It is exceedingly rare for someone to get their account banned off of one game alone. It would take an especially egregious offense (such as death threats) to merit an immediate permanent ban with no prior history; most everyone else who gets a permanent ban typically runs the whole punishment ladder, with a smaller grouping running the escalated ladder (for hate speech/encouragements of self harm).

...but for Riot Support to say you cannot have your account back because of the chat logs even if they are mild and not malicious? I will even show proof.

Spamming in the pregame lobby...Not remotely a good start.

Harassment, coercion, and threatening to troll.

..."Isn't the point of being obese for u to die?", said "mildly and not maliciously". You continue harassing and insulting, and start throwing out taunts needlessly.

37 more lines of rampant harassment, insults, and excessive taunting, the majority of those taunts also being laced with insults.

If you think saying what amounts to "i'm not serious here lol" or "jk" is going to outweigh practically a full chat log's worth of insults and harassment, you're dead-wrong.

T0 CR4ZY: ping it idiot T0 CR4ZY: IF U CANT PING BARON T0 CR4ZY: UR GAY T0 CR4ZY: IF U CANT PING BARON UR GAY T0 CR4ZY: LOOOOOOOL T0 CR4ZY: PING IT OR GAY T0 CR4ZY: UR GAY T0 CR4ZY: ALL OF U ARE GAY

More insults, and blatant homophobia.

Some more spam...

T0 CR4ZY: stop flaming dude T0 CR4ZY: what did I say

A little irony, as well as what I assume is reiterating your threat of "stop being toxic or i troll". Non-maliciously.

[All]T0 CR4ZY: DO NOT DO BARON [All]T0 CR4ZY: BARON IS ILLEGAL [All]T0 CR4ZY: IF U TAKE IT UR DISQUALIFIED [All]T0 CR4ZY: AND HEREBY MUST DECLARE DEFEAT [All]T0 CR4ZY: DUDE STOP FLAMING THEM [All]T0 CR4ZY: I TOLD YOU [All]T0 CR4ZY: TO STOP T0 CR4ZY: OPEN UP THE GATES [All]T0 CR4ZY: LOL LOSER [All]T0 CR4ZY: ONLY 3 FRIENDS [All]T0 CR4ZY: GATYES [All]T0 CR4ZY: GATES [All]T0 CR4ZY: GATES

Frankly, even in jest, this is asinine. I think it's made worse by the fact that you spent the majority of this match harassing and insulting other players, alongside threatening to troll. That, and the caps lock. Like, for real, a good half of your chat log is in full caps.

All of this was for fun. I was playing ranked flex with my friends, We were messing around in chat and by the way I even have proof for this:

[All]T0 CR4ZY: if u think im serious LOL ur out of ur mind

Well, it doesn't seem like you were in a full, five-man premade (considering you had to threaten to troll to get someone to stop flaming), and beyond that, you didn't keep your chat contained to just your friends; you made the entire enemy team deal with it. Much of your chat log was in /all chat.

And like I said earlier, saying "lol jk" or whatever amounts to that halfway through a chat log chock full of insults isn't going to mean anything. "I'm just joking" isn't a catch-all excuse - it's hardly even an excuse for small shit.

I told them I wasn't serious, it was all a joke...

Jokes tend to be funny.

...and regardless I was still banned because the automated system deemed it to be toxic.

Because it was toxic. You spent the majority of your chat in that game harassing and insulting players, spamming taunts and insults, the vast majority of it being done in full caps. Maybe next time you want to joke around, use actual jokes instead of offensive insults? Food for thought.

I also do have counter arguments for what I said.

I called them fat because he was playing Gragas, which is a fat champion, so I was saying he was fat as his champion as a joke.

It doesn't matter if they were playing Gragas or not. Even if you were joking about Gragas being fat, you went waaaaaay overboard. So far overboard you've commandeered another ship entirely, and jumped off that one for a swim. Seriously, look at what you said.

[All]T0 CR4ZY: isnt the point of being obese for u to die?

[All]T0 CR4ZY: LATA BITCH TAKE MY GOLD [All]T0 CR4ZY: U NEED IT [All]T0 CR4ZY: TO BUY MORE BURGERS

There's a point when jokes stop being funny. Your "fat" jokes stopped being funny at the first line. And then you just went and got worse, and worse, and worse.

Everything of what I said was meant to be a joke. I tried to make it clear but guess it wasn't clear enough. Riot's argument for this is even though it's a joke, it still effects people because of what is said in the chat. The thing is though, how could it effect anyone if I clearly stated it was a joke?

Clearly stated? You mean this?

[All]T0 CR4ZY: if u think im serious LOL ur out of ur mind

This little tidbit that 1) gets lost amidst the full-caps insult festival, 2) only serves to try and brush off responsibility for the insults, and 3) is an insult in and of itself?

You didn't clearly state that it was a joke at any point in the chat log. If this one line was you "clearly stating it", then you failed spectacularly at explaining that you were joking.

And how could it effect anyone...

[All]T0 CR4ZY: isnt the point of being obese for u to die?

How could it...Or are you still not being serious here.

If you can read the entirety of your chat log, and seriously not see how someone could be affected by all your taunts, harassment, and insults, then I really don't know what to say.

They also have the option to mute, so why didn't they just mute if it effects them that bad?

The mute feature is a band-aid solution, and it would not prevent them from suffering the initial harmful effects of your abusive chat. It also would not excuse you from being so disrespectful and inflammatory throughout the match; hence why you got punished.

And, even beyond that, it's not an either/or situation. People can mute and report you, and you'd still wind up with the punishment.

Look I am sorry but if you cannot take a joke in chat, why are you playing a multiplayer game in the first place?

I don't see a single joke in your chat logs.

You're saying these things in all chat. "Just playing with my friends" doesn't extend to the enemy team.

I'm a trash talking asshole who loves banter, and I haven't gotten so much as a chat restrict in a long time. Wanna know how?

You are talking to STRANGERS. It doesn't matter if part of what you find funny is being an ass, you have to understand saying

[All]T0 CR4ZY: isnt the point of being obese for u to die?

to STRANGERS might upset someone. This goes for all banter. People like to say "it's hard to judge tone over the internet" but while that's true, you can still HELP others judge your own tone through your wording.

"I was kidding" isn't an excuse to be an asshole. If I got suspended for those times I still do when someone makes a huge misplay I find funny, and I say "HAHAHAHA" in all chat and they give a friendly response, I can go harder with the banter and say obviously joking ways of calling them bad. This is immediately removed when you spam the same thing 30 times. That's one way you come across as either annoying, toxic, or stupid.

General rules: When you choose to banter, you are acknowledging that you may upset other people. You have to own up to it if you do upset those people, so try your best to make sure they know it's friendly trash talk. Saying "I'm kidding" doesn't automatically make it friendly trash talk. Spam makes it automatically not friendly trash talk in 99% of situations. If you have a hard time coming across as a friendly trash talker, then either stop altogether, or work hard to change and seem like it.

It would be the "ping it or gay" would probably seal this deal.

Although your chat was more about a derailment of the game and useless spam.

Just because you are in flex queue, you are still teamed with strangers and they won't necessarily understand your humor.

Tribunal was already super slow with the whole population. Limiting it to 2% of the population would not improve thè performance of the tribunal.
