Can I get banned for playing bad on ranked?

Lifsitch··2 votes·2,812 views

I have been punished because the power went off once, then got chat restricted because I replied to idiots on my team who triggered for no reason, so it is worrying, can I get banned for playing really bad on ranked?

If lots of kids report me will I get auto-banned blindly by the system, with no analysis at all? Please be honest.

Not unless it's intentional.

Thanks for your reply, but hey, who will judge that? The same dumb robot who thought I left the game intentionally, and who thought "Oh he got reported by the whole team, he must be wrong", I hope not.

Because I am doing really terribly with Lee Sin, basically everyone will report me, and it looks like that here, lots of fake reports can get you banned.

Leaverbuster does not care if you left intentionally or not and only punishes you when you have left a lot of games.

And I have yet to see a case where someone was falsely punished for either feeding, leaving or flaming - at least - here on the boards (where I have been lurking these past three years).

And eh, if you know you are not great at playing a champ, maybe practise some more in normal games before you jump into ranked. That is what normals are for :)

"Leaverbuster does not care..."

That's my fear. What if they just take the 500 reports on me, run an algorythm, see my 10% win rate and 0.2k/d with Lee and ban me due to binary justice?

About not playing ranked, it is not a good idea i think, because playing ranked I can face the worst of LoL since I'm bronze V, on simple draft pick I can face anyone, even smurfs who will wipe us before we can even /ff.

Leaverbuster does not care, because the outcome is the same: you left. It's also very easy for someone to fake a disconnect. That is why it has leniency built in.

I don't know the specifics of feederbuster. Yes, it is automated, but exactly how it differentiates between intentional or not intentional- I dont know.

LeaverBuster is handled separately from the behavior system. So a 20min queue has no impact on reports for feeding, verbal abuse, etc.

Tosha! can you look into my ticket number 24959278 I GOT FALSELY BANNED!!! when i log in and it said that, i was like"wow i guess all my smack/trash talking finnaly caught up" but then to find out IT WAS CAUSE OF USING HACKING PROGRAMS OR SCRIPTING?? Please i dont think anyone is helping THE ONLY THING NEW I ADDED/DOWNLOAD IN MY COMPUTER WAS this program Razor Cortex, it was to improve my RAM usage, but the program RAZOR CORTEX could be used to OPEN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS, Please download the program yourself and see if thats what triggers the ban or something cause the detection was false!!! id bet everything on it man cause i simply didnt do it!!

I am not a Riot employee, so I can't do much for you, I'm afraid :( Did you log into any public computers? Does anyone else have your account information? And do you really do not have any League related software on your computer (skin preview programs for example?)

If the answer to all of those questions is no, your only option is to wait for the support to reply to your ticket. Good luck!!

Tbf you're power going out, is leaving game. You could have back up generator to keep power on. Simply saying its out of your hands doesnt fly. You spoke in client your words are final, robot can read but not between the lines.

Usually in most online games, there have to be a number of flags reached before some staffer will look at your file relating to your conduct and behaviour. Riot seems to follow the same sort of process. Some flags rank higher for bans; some rank lower and require more of them before a ban is considered.

If your problems were truly rare, then you should probably be safe.

I argue that, every Bronze has the ability to climb to high elo, even challenger if they trained and worked hard enough to do it.

has 1.6 mill mastery points in kog. has been in bronze for years http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=super%20monchi

only a select lucky few who are born with the gift are allowed to go there

I really think that is an illusion. And one that feeds the "I have 1000 games and you only 500, so im better than you" mentality.

It is the same in sports. I could train all day, every day, but if I have the hand-eye coordination of a potato on drugs, I will never make it to the olympics.

You don't get LeaverBuster for leaving one game. Riot does take into consideration things like the power going out and will assume it's one-off. It took at least 5 games of me disconnecting to get even a 5 minute LeaverBuster, which includes the actual intentional disconnect before I figured out how to mute people. You get LeaverBuster for a pattern of behavior.

Learn to use the mute function. It's amazing.

Just like LeaverBuster Riot will assume a bad game not feeding. It's the pattern of behavior that gets you in trouble.

You won't get punished for false reports. If you do nothing wrong (as defined by the Summoners Code and Riot TOS) you won't get in trouble no matter how many reports get put against you. Remember 1 report counts for the same as 9. You will only get banned for your actions.

Yep, /ignore all right out is the way to go.

Thanks for your reply.

You will not get banned from playing badly. Today's society thinks you are special and that you don't have to do anything to improve yourself. 15 years ago or so we had a handful of bad online players because we were able to police ourselves. Today it's just the opposite. Punishments are slaps on the wrist with zero incentives to improve and make the environment better for everyone.

Everyone has bad games. It's those that always do that need to be dealt with.
