It Only Takes One Game

Nockos·11/27/2017, 7:48:27 PM·4 votes·1,020 views

Coming off of a two week ban, I was changing my attitude. I was getting honors and getting my rewards back. I even made a couple of new friends and was voted most honorable in my next 3-6 games afterwards.

Now here's some stupid shit: Apparently I'm too retarded to learn to not respond to people harassing me over mistakes. They can and will report for responding to their actions. I know my language was a shitty and I should have just muted, but I have a really good question for Riot.

How is it fair that premade group is allowed to harass a solo que player, spam "?" ping them all game, tell them that they are shitty and need to stop inting, and if that solo que player responds, they get reported and punished harder than those starting the conflict? What happened to the tribunal?

No I dont need you to post the chat logs, I'm well aware of what I said. But it's some major league bullshit that people are allowed to intentionally start problems, and report you if you respond in any harsh way.

I can try to fight my permaban, but that's useless. I could make an alt, but that would be equally useless. I just want to point out that if people are allowed to harass somebody into a salty rage, which can be done without words ( you cant mute actions) then they should get the same amount of punishment as the people they harass and report.

Also (you're only making this post because you're permabanned and mad.) No, Im making this for the fact that this automated system is worse than the tribunal and players who start problems get away with too much in this game. Muting could solve it but muting will not stop them from trying to find ways to tilt you. Dont do what I did and get tilted. That's a waste of time and it is what they are looking for.

You can mute them and their pings and report them afterwards.

The Tribunal actually showed, reliably, that players didn't care who started it -- they voted to punish almost identically regardless if the problematic behavior was provoked or not. That's why the system now works the way it does.

That sort of provocation is reportable and punishable. The severity of the punishment, however, depends on the language used, the behavior shown, and the individual's personal behavioral history.

How do you know that you were "punished harder than those starting the conflict"? If you and those accounts had no past issues on the account, I'm sure that there would be equal punishment if there was equal punishable activity. The difference is that your account was on a sort of probation, which means that it's teetering the edge and will be punished more abruptly.

If you are getting worked up, fine. If you take that rage out on your teammates, that's not fine. You are perfectly permitted to get angry. You are not permitted to rage at your teammates. You may not be able to control your emotion, but you can control your enter key.

Found your problem. "Coming off of a two week ban, I was changing my attitude..."

Once you have been found "guilty" by riots system you are always a criminal.

Doesn't matter the content, if you get a report having been found guilty in the past, its the same as like 3 strikes laws.

Go to jail, don't pass go.

Riot isnt interested in your reforming your behavior. Time to make that your troll account and then make a NEW account where you are crime free. Faster, easier, and more fun.

What Riot doesn't tell you (unless you pull it out of CS) is that once you have received ANY punishments the threshold for further punishment is DECREASED, and this occurs with every punishment escalation. Your example of coming off a 14-day ban and getting permanently banned from a single game is extremely common.

I agree that they should be punished as well. But as hard? That's questionable... you've worked your way up the punishment ladder, they may not have. Also, it's not exactly certain (from my point of view, having not been in the game) that you didn't do/say anything to bring it on yourself. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't - although I guess that isn't really the point.

You get banned because you've shown a history of that behavior, and then you did it again. Do you report the people that incite you? If you and others do consistently, they would get banned too. I bet people who don't respond ALSO don't report these people, and that may be the problem to focus on. If the league community as a whole doesn't like people who incite ragers (which they shouldn't), then we should start reporting those players when they show up even if no one responds to it. Riot should encourage us to do that. That's a fight I'll stand beside.

Responding to it is bad too though. Especially because it's likely you'll carry that attitude in to your next game. It's likely you'll lose that game and subsequent games because of that attitude, and possibly frustrate/tilt other players so they throw games too. It's not good for anyone involved. Yes, the guy who poked you for a while started it all, but he probably doesn't consistently lose games because most people don't respond.
