Need a Rioter. My account has been banned.

ThexGodxButcher··1 votes·1,237 views

My account has been permanently banned due to negative behavior. I allowed my younger brother to play on the account. I understand I am responsible for the activity on the account, however I have spent HUNDREDS of dollars on the account and need to speak to someone about having it unlocked in whatever possible way there is to do so.

Pretty sure account sharing is a bannable offense, too.

You can submit a support ticket if you want but I don't see them unbanning you. Your account is your responsibility and sharing it with your brother is a perma ban offense anyway, for this exact reason.

Try there, although as Stormy said, there's little chance it will be undone. Even if it's true, it is still account sharing. This is the exact reason that rule was put into place. And you don't just get permanently banned on first offense either, so this must have been an on-going thing.

Money spent on the game doesn't have anything to do with issues like this.

Here's a crappy comparison for you:

You buy a gun and give it to your brother. He randomly starts shooting things. When the police comes by, they don't care you're not the one who used the gun, it was your responsibility to keep it safe and locked up, therefore it's your price to pay for its wrongful use.

The comparison would be valid, except we are talking about a video game. Not a tool created and designed for death. I understand its my fault. I get that. But I have years in this game. On that account. I have made tons of friends and had a lot of great times on that account. I cant just let it go without trying. And yeah I can make another but I just have so much time and money put into it its a waste.

Scale the situation down and it's pretty much the same. That's how analogies work.

ThexGodxButcher1 votes

Except the permanent death or maiming of someone injured by the gun as suppose to having a bad game online, which happens regardless because its not like this game isn't all about blaming your teammates and hating them for their every mistake anyway. Lets not pretend here, I only play with my friends because this game is awful about how people treat each other when a teammate is losing a lane. So the consequences are not on equal footing.

Allowing someone else to play on your account is a clear violation of the terms you agreed to when you made the account and after every patch since.

I don't think Riot cares how much you've spent on the account. By their thinking, the money that's been put at risk by the accounts affected by the behavior in question more than outweighs the money you've put into that account.

I also don't think the rest of your argument has ever been successful in this kind of situation. The only time I've seen anyone have success with the "somebody else did it" argument was when their account had been hacked - because they didn't create the situation.

At the end of the day, the responsibility for all this boils down to your decisions. Yes, it's a crappy situation, and I do sympathize, but that makes it no less your responsibility. As such, the consequences are yours to deal with as well.

Youre probably right, but I have to ask, the account is important to me. I didn't expect it to be ruined.

Your best bet is - as others have pointed out - a Support ticket. I'd advise you to be polite and honest, as that tends to get the best results from customer service people. Good luck!

ACCOUNT SHARING? you need more ban.

and being negative is entirely not acceptable...if you won't do it in public...don't attempt it here.

ThexGodxButcher1 votes

"You need more ban" Lets go over just how ridiculous that sounds. Also, I'm not even sure where the "if you wont do it in public" thing comes from. Are you just ranting or did someone else anger you? Definitely not here demanding anything from anyone.

It's highly unlikely they won't. Your account had negative behavior on it, and you can't prove it was your brother. You also were sharing accounts, which is also a bannable offense. So even if it wasn't the reason you got banned, your account will stay that way.

ThexGodxButcher1 votes

Thats insane. I have spent easily five hundred plus dollars on the account. I dont even use the email thats tied to it anymore so I didnt know he had been getting suspended let alone banned. Dude just came into my room and said he was banned.

Shac Norris2 votes

Your account havn't been punished as a first time ban.

You have already been banned 7-14 days before and probably had chat restrictions, like hell you wouldn't notice that and tell your ''brother'' to stop being toxic.

You're lying, and you deserve that ban.

Even if by chance you weren't lying, you still have no way to prove anything.

I see he fits right in with the community here still.

the way you refer to your "brother" makes it sound like the apple didn't fall too far from the tree

Look I don't owe anyone any life story. He got my account banned I can be as mean to him as I like.

You let him use your account. That's your fault. Not his. Also, the way it sounds, you rarely use your account, so what's the money you spent on it to you? You rarely use it.

Instead of giving him your account, give him his own.

I know it was poorly handled. I'm not standing on some high horse or anything. I just really want my account unbanned.

Serevas1 votes

Actually if the things said are vile enough you can get instantly perma-banned, but that usually requires a cocktail of racial slurs, encouraging of suicide, and excessively berating people all game long. That also has to be paired with a full report from all 9 other people in the lobby. If you get 9x reported ever in a lobby, you're getting a punishment of some form on the spot.

The fact does still remain however that even if it was his brother he was still account sharing, which is also worthy of bans, and no dollar amount spent on an account grants any form of leeway for lifting permabans.

And how can RIOT or anyone in community be sure it was your brother and no you. People should trust on your word?

ThexGodxButcher1 votes

Either I'm lying, in which case Ill either be banned again almost immediately, or Ill be in fear of the ban and not continue to be negative. Or I'm not lying, in which case they will continue to make money off of me along with no further games being ruined. It doesn't seem complicated to me.

It says its permanently banned. It had apparently been banned for the last few weeks or something. Then the little idiot played like two games. Got it permanently banned.

How do you know it got banned, my brother tried getting on this morning and for some reason his password did not work. Did you have the same issue, or did you get a message telling you it got banned. I realized quite a few people are having the same issue, or either riot is cracking down or it is a temporary bug issue.

ThexGodxButcher1 votes

No it said it was permanently banned. Has a list of the text from the game. I get it, hes a vile little idiot. But I still wanted that account. I have some friends from college I played with every once in awhile.

What you could and should have done: help your brother create his own account so yours is not I danger of his actions

Don't let your younger brother have your passwords, why would you let your younger brother have your passwords.

"I have spent HUNDREDS of dollars on the account" Why do you always say that as a defense?
