Well, the title says it.

In 7 years of gaming in LoL I never posted on the forum. Never felt the need to. Always liked the game, and got many times good sportsmanship mentions from teammates.

I've been having a hard time in my life the past 6 months due to medical conditions both physically and psychologically. In all theses years of playing I was a good teammates and behaved correctly most of the times. I admit there was some bad days in the past 4 months, specially in the last days, but my life situation has made me less patient and more prompt to express myself in incorrect manners.

I have been currencty highly medicated with antidepressants et anti-psychotics meds, for the past 4 months and since I'm on a sick-leave I've been playing lol more than usual and theses medications do have affected my moral, my temper and my normal condition. I'm usually a nice person and I beg riot to take this in consideration.

I'm getting better with time passing on, but I have a hard time adapting to my new medical condition and theses meds have a lot of side effects, to the point where it also affected my relation with my friends and my family.

I'm not trying to play a victim role here, I understand there are consequences about my actions, but I find the punition to be extreme considering the situation. I did use some nasty words, but nothing extreme. I've not threatened anyone, nor told anyone things like ''go kill yourself'' of such extreme things, I would never do that and I do report people who do that. Now it happens that some players got on me in the pasts days and I'm sorry for it, I just feel the punition is extreme for this case. In the past 100 games I behaved correctly and reformed correctly, now because of 3 bad games I'm being permabanned and considering my life situation It's very hard for me to accept that.

Also this account has over many thousands game played over the last 7 years and I think overall I've been a good member of this community and many sportsmanship mention of teammates proves it. I would like riot to reconsider my case and give me a chance. I'm willing to be monitored or even chat restricted for as long as riot think it would be necessary, but losing my account in theses lifes circumstances, I find it very unfair.

I do believe some people need to get banned, but I do not believe I'm one of theses. Perfects systems don't exist, there are always mistakes, it's humans and I believe permabanning me is a mistake.

Please somebody at riot, if you can look at this... I understand I'm not the first person to beg in a post like that, but I do think there are external conditions in my life that must be taken into consideration.

This is my first post on this board and also a coming out to express my feeling about what I'm living right now and lol was one of the rare thing I could use to escape my harsh reality.

Thanks to any riots members for considering this.

Unfortunately, the only time Riot reverses a permanent ban is when that ban is found to have been applied in error. If you were behaving in a manner that is usually punished, regardless of circumstances, there isn't much that can be done.

I know that's rough to hear, but the hard truth is that Riot can't make exceptions or everyone will be asking for them for any number of reasons. Riot doesn't have the time or manpower to check the validity of each and every one of those cases, and, even then, their policy appears to be that there is no acceptable excuse for toxic behavior.

I wish I had better news. :(

I have a friend who was more often in a nuthouse then I can even count. (he has serious mental issues) He can't work, he has to take drugs every day (a lot of them), and he has a alcohol problem. The funny thing is, this guy is still able to not be a fucking dick to other people in a VIDEO GAME, just because he has some problems ...

Your conditions are YOUR problem. They are not a free-pass to ignore the rules.

If any medication makes it impossible to adhere to the behavior rules, its better not to play at all.

When you make YOUR problem the problem of others, then there are consequences.

I think his story his legit. I would give the guy another chance, he seems sincere. Pretty sure he learned his lessons. Riot policy sometime is too harsh with some people and not severe enough with the real people who troll the game and because they do not flame they go away with it but still ruin the gameplay. Give the guy another chance.Amumu

I just uninstalled the game for exactly the same reason. That the rules don't accommodate for people with medical conditions.

With your behavior you destroyed the game experience of many people, maybe you even ruined the whole day for someone who is a bit more sensitive and takes flame personally. You did not care about them or the situation they were in but expect that riot or those players care about your situation just because you can't control yourself and think you deserve special treatment. Many people carry a heavy package around with them in their lifes; get abused, lose friends, hope or their will to continue living, but they still behave nice. They all suffer but they rather suck it up instead of raging at innocent strangers. Sorry if it sounds harsh but I have no mercy for toxic people at all. You will not be unbanned and it's good this way. You knew that your mood is bad and still you decided to play and use the chat, now face the consequences of your actions.

It's deserved imo because the people you flamed don't know you have these problems, to them youre just the dick who flames.

I did not expect a lot of compassion posting that story here and I understand why. I still think I deserve another chance considering what happened and considering my long good standing with riot, a life sentence seems to harsh in this case.

And I no I do not consider this as a classic case of a young troll who just want a pass by and who will continue to misbehave anyway. This account I put a lot of effort in it over the past 7 years and if I was able to keep it that long it's because for the 6 years and a half before this I was being a good member of this community who respected the summoner code.. This cannot be simply erased from one hand like that...

I sincerely apologize and regret my behavior and I hope only good to thoses I have offended.

Sincerely.

in order to get permabanned you have to go over several "tiers" of punishments, this permaban is unfair only if you got it immediately as your first punishment
