How much does it take for someone to get banned for INTing?

Banned B4 Lv30·11/7/2019, 10:04:10 PM·10 votes·10,630 views

I just got demoted after a ranked game because my top laner got tilted at the 2 minute mark and just ran it down the entire game. He ended up with a score of 1/14/2 in a 20:46 game. Will he get in trouble for this? Or does the 1 kill and 2 assists reset the "INTing detector"? He stopped INTing towards the end of the game which leads me to believe he knows his limits to stop before getting punished. But the whole lobby saw it and I believe he got at least 5 reports that game.

Edit: Since I've already had someone say "He was probably just having a bad game and couldn't do anything!"

After dying many times top lane, he went to bot lane as a level 4 (while everyone else was around lvl 8 at this point), then ran into their bot lane 3 times in a row. Even the enemy was in /all chat saying "Wow I feel bad for you guys I hope this guy gets banned." This was CLEAR intentional feeding. He kept saying "who cares" and "lol blame the sona"

Riot does nothing unless they say a naughty word...

Going 1/14/2 @ 20 minutes implying that they're bad and that justifies it.... I'll have to rethink about that one for a long hard while...
Like let it sink in that, creep waves/minion waves start at like 1 minute and 30 seconds in. By this the guy would have to die almost every 45 seconds to maintain such an insanely hard k/d to achieve this. There's effort being put into a timely death of perfectly managing to get back to lane just to die within like a 5 second span, from walking to base to the middle of top lane.

I'm pretty confident that he'll get away with it because I'm more than confident throughout the years that reports are based on merits such as how many times a person is reported it adds up to a total to then later trigger a punishment to the said player. (This being said, it doesn't get manually reviewed or inspected, which wouldn't be too surprising or alarming to many).

If you have concrete evidence as you say, you should probably go to the "Support Tab, Submit a Ticket" so it gets manually inspected, you can A) Provide your own evidence such as the ability during replays to record and highlight clips of this individual doing what they were doing, in this case intentional feeding. Provide it, open and close case. Player will most definitely be punished in this way. If it is how you say it is, and you have the overwhelming evidence as described.

Its not a score thing. It just takes a Rioter deeming it intentional when being reviewed. They (for obvious reasons) tend to err on the side of caution, so its always nice when I see posts here about an inter complaining about their ban. Dont expect to get your report reviewed immediately of course, as players here tend to report all sorts of shit as intentionally feeding. So theyre gonna have to go through a couple thousand bogus reports before they get to your report of an actual legitimate inter. (Int stands for intentional btw, so no need to capitalize it. Its just a shortened version of a whole word, not an acronym for something)

You keep capitalizing INT as if it's an acronym. It's not. It means intentional.

What part of what you've said proves they were intentionally dying to the enemy team to feed them? You must prove that they were intentionally doing it knowing that they were going to die and not simply making mistakes. It's perfectly possible for someone to get so far behind that they can't fight - them not seeing that and not realizing they're so far behind is not a punishable offense - it just means they're bad.

60-70 games on average.

You only get banned for typing to your team

It takes until manual review by a Rioter can confirm, beyond reasonable doubt, that it's inting.

They can't punish for just the score alone, each game needs a review. Even if they run Cleanse/Ghost on Nunu, that requires review, on the offchance that there is some legitimate justification for it.

Even if it's clearly inting, they still have to manually review, because if they ban someone because it looked like inting at first and it actually was legitimate but poor playing, it's going to be hell dealing with that mess. Because of that, it has to be thoroughly reviewed and they'll err on the side of caution.

And then they have to actually get to your particular game. Which can take ages, given how people report others for inting for some of the dumbest shit in the world.

I believe he got at least 5 reports that game.

Number of reports is actually irrelevant. How many reports he got doesn't matter at all.

This made me curious and I actually went off to look up one of my old support tickets based on a group of inters in Flex Q. So I went back to find their names and. They are still active. I had posted their actions with times of when they had done this with screenshots tagged alongside. Definitely not a perma ban since they can still play. I am assuming or hoping that they did get some form of punishment though. But I can't tell for sure.

If you report them then they'll get punished. All of my reports have turned into punishments.

A couple things to keep in mind, though:

  • Only one report will trigger the system to look into the game! That being said, it will count the number of games in which the person was reported, in order to check for consistent toxic behavior. Them consistently doing it is more likely to get them punished than it being a one-off thing.

  • I'm not 100% sure if this is true, but I've been told you can talk to Riot Support about punishing users, if you remember the username. Just throw a ticket their way and see; not sure if it's correct, though.
