So my smurf account that I created to take advantage of the odessey missions got banned today. First it was hit with a 10 game chat restriction which was understandable, i flamed two games in a row and got punished for it. 6 games into clearing my chat restriction, i got hit with a 14 day suspension. I was confused bc i wasnt flaming, then i looked at the ingame chat logs.

Im legit done.

At first i thought it was a mistake by the system, after logging out 2 times with the same result, i submitted a support ticket at around 8 ish. It is currently 5:41 am, havent slept bc sleep is for the weak. Can i just get unbanned, im bored of life and need league.

This is really strange. I'll ask someone to look at it.

For one, sleep.

For two, it takes at least 48 hours to get a response.

Tough to say without looking at the match history why you got banned. Usually, you'd just get the next chat restriction unless you were way over the line.

Was this the only thing you had said in the game?

Honesty I have played this game for over 6 years and I have never being ban or had any chat bans. If you get ban there is always a reason for it, learn from this and stop being that 1% of players that get punish.

That kind of log doesn't deserve a punishment. Riot should take a close look at their IFS and find out why you were punished for that. Well, they should - hopefully they also do that and "unpunish" you.

If that doesn't get 'fixed' that gives some credibility to the claims that say that you cannot say anything or you will get punished - I didn't believe that before, but that screen shot might turn me into a believer. :( Riot, an explanation would be nice.

Why does RIOT even provide players with a tool to mute players they don't want to hear if the ban system is so liberal. You give players the option to control what they read and what they hear. What happened to our gaming community? When did we become so sensitive to everything? What happened to the good old days of bragging rights and a little smack talk. I think people need to actually realise what the difference between TOXIC and smack talk is. Commenting on builds and other players strategy shouldn't be a ban offense, and certainly isn't toxic. Telling someone you'll come to their house and murder their family is toxic. I think everyone needs to get a little tougher in life and get thicker skin we can't go around NERFING the whole damn world for every sensitive Sally in the game! If you make mistakes and it makes someone else unhappy how it's that not understandable. Haven't you ever seen a teammate doing incredibly dumb things? Maybe commenting on their build or runes or strategy will open their eyes to mistakes. I know when I get flamed by my team I try to learn from things they are saying. I don't just go around trying to get everyone banned because I messed up and lost a game for my team.

You got hit with a 10 game then immediately went to a 14 day, so it wasnt done because of chat. It was done due to in game actions.

Since you went from a 10 game restriction immediately to a 14 day ban, that means something else happened.

As this card does not show anything that would indicate that, that means either Riot fucked up somewhere, or you're mistaken and the 10 game restriction was actually a 25 game restriction.

If they fucked up, it could be they punished the wrong person (it happens sometimes when Riot manually punishes), it could be they set the wrong level of punishment (Meaning that Riot meant to chat restrict you for 25 games, and not ban you for 14 days), Riot set the wrong punishment reason (It could, for example, be for inting instead of for toxicity), or maybe the card just forgot to show pre/post-game text. It's also possible that it accidentally counted something from beforehand, and punished you for that (which it's not supposed to do). Or maybe the card just has the wrong game's text on it.

It can take up to 48 hours for requests to process, and even more if a bigger issue happens on Riot's end that delays them from getting to it. I suggest getting some sleep in the meantime, since staying up until they respond will not be good for you.

Lmao. Ima go to a job fair. Let this post die, either way I still haven't gotten a response on my support ticket but i should when i come back. Over 6.3k views, 93 upvotes, if a riot member truly cared, someone would have at provided an explanation. but hey. all that matters is that the report system is faster than the tribunal and "non-biased".

BTW: still haven't slept. weakness is not in my vocabulary >:)

Please fix the easily abusable report system. Clearly it's not working. Clearly it's easily abusable.

The report system is the new way to greif people.
