I am puzzled - the more I'm getting reported the more keys i get ?!

verysalt··1 votes·357 views

Well that's the thing, I am getting reported probably every third game because i play off-meta support AP Zilean. Not buying wards because of my reasons etc etc. I also don't like to commit to supporting lvl 0 champs and i tell them pretty much in advance, also sometimes I speak sarcastic sht but I avoid punishable keywords. People call me troll, negative attitude etc etc. Ok, now my point of view - I give my support to either experienced players or those who can carry even they are lvl 0s (yeah, lvl 0s have to deserve it or prove it by their play, so that's the same). Anyway, when things go wrong or people ego is above pragmatism usually I am getting reported and that continues pretty much since I started ranked yet I get keys every week (atm 19 key fragments). So I got confused.... like seriously...

For mods who can check my account, please can you tell me how far away I am from punishment and what obvious things I did wrong which caused my account to be flagged ?

Appreciate.

You can get reported all other people want to, but if you aren't doing anything wrong (it doesn't sound like you are) you won't ever be punished and you'll continue to get keys.

I'm confused as to why you think your account has been flagged? If you're being negative, even sarcastically, then you run the risk of being punished, but as long as it's a normal snide comment infrequently you won't get punished.

There is no definition of what exactly means "to be negative". One reporter said i am being negative because I differentiate lvl 5-7 players from lvl 0s and he reported me because i would give less support to him than others. Other say "being negative" includes when you don't believe in winning any more. Basically you being reported for being pragmatic Others accuses you of being negative when you simply ask why they misplay or trying to give them suggestions (their ego can't accept they should do better). In my mind comes a picture when YI runs into hard CC team and dies over and over even after you telling him to get Mercurial Scimitar but he views your comment about feeding and suggestions as negativity or undermining his personality.

You said this in your OP: "sometimes I speak sarcastic sht but I avoid punishable keywords"

There are no punishable keywords, there is punishable behavior. That sentence you wrote yourself leads me to believe you are negative and you know it, and are trying to see how close to the line you can get.

Why not just play the game and not be sarcastic? Then you don't have to worry about if you're crossing the line or not.

Before reading my text below, think this one: People who surrenders ARE being negative by definition that they negatively see their ability to win any more. It's ALLOWED to be negative to some degree, yet there is no definition of where is a threshold for punishment. I kinda accept i am being negative verbally, but in reality I always try to win. Why not to be sarcastic ? Because i am human being and I am emotionally healthy person, not a psychopath. To deny negative emotions is unrealistic, unless you have mental disorder. I can accept boundaries for emotions but not emotions themselves, that's including sarcasm.

People who continue trying until a surrender vote passes are not being negative. They are voting to end the game early. That is a permitted gameplay mechanic.

If you are being negative verbally, you either need to accept the fact that you will be punished eventually or you need to learn to control yourself and not unleash your negativity on total strangers through the internet.

Surrendering is an act of negativity. You never will surrender if you are being positive about the outcome. There is no middle ground - you either being positive or negative about the outcome (not talking about psychopaths or those who don't care).

Surrendering is neutral. If a game is so gone that there is absolutely no chance of winning (enemy has your three inhibs, they're getting baron and elder to prolong game), it's not negative to surrender, it's people choosing to end the game early when the outcome is virtually inevitable.

Regardless, you cannot use the presence of a Riot-sanctioned mechanism (surrender vote) to justify your continued negative behavior in chat.

Thanks for advice, I agree with it.

Well, the more I am reading forums, the closer i get to conclusion that some of RIOT mods is/are psychopath/s (no disrespect to someone with disorder, it's my honest opinion). On the other hand, it can also be cultural. For instance, Finish people takes sarcasm literally.

I wish I could give them all since I play OTP champion any way.
