My Story Of Permabanned.

TheMutedSupport·1/19/2017, 6:19:35 PM·12 votes·1,847 views

Hello friends,

My name is The Muted Support. I chose this name because one I thought it was funny, and two I wanted people to not take what I said so seriously in game, because back then I would be toxic to players that didn't know what they were doing or just having a bad game. Which I know I was toxic but I thought this would stop me from getting reported and Muted instead.(which was the wrong mentality) I was wrong. I got warnings here and there but didn't think anything of it because that's been happening for like a year off and on, until I finally got a suspension. Which I was like, I needed a break anyways and blew it off. But then after that, I got permanently banned about a little over a month ago, about a week after my suspension. This had an effect on me.

I've been playing on my account for a little over 2 years. Since the end of season 4. I owned every champion, I had atleast one skin for every champion, atleast 10 champions with all their skins, 20 rune pages, every Rune available that was viable to me,and a ridiculous amount of gametime on it. Everyday for hours a day. This account was my life for 2 years. It got me through a very hard time in my life.

I bring this up not to show you how much money is in it, but how valuable it was to me. I poured everything into this game.

I love League of Legends. I really do. I love what it promotes, I love the community it has, I love that it's getting bigger and hopefully going to be the first gaming sport out there outside of e-sports. That's why when I got permabanned, it finally clicked that I was not being apart of that community I loved, I wasnt making this game better, and ultimately playing with me wasn't fun.

It's taken me a month to write this because I am so ashamed and embarrassed from the trash that I would talk to people, knowing that I deserved the ban. This game is something special and the people in it should be treated with respect no matter what happens in game. I didn't take the reports as seriously as I should and just said things without realizing the negative impact it could have on people, all because the game wasn't going well.

I wanted to submit this as a ticket as an attempt to recover my account because I miss it and want a chance at redemption. But I figured a board would serve a better purpose to reach out to the community. I know I will never find the people I was toxic too, so I just wanted to say to everyone who loves and plays this game, I am really truely sorry and if you are like me who puts everything into it, then treat it as such and dont lose it.

Thank you, The Muted Support.

Definitely a good reminder to others out there what can happen when we become too toxic. Unfortunately, Riot will not un-ban the account.

If you really have changed your ways and having your account banned has made you see clearly, my suggestion would be to start over and print out the post you just made and tape it near your monitor. Maybe add a screenshot or two of your old account. That way when you get heated at teammates or the game (which absolutely will happen if you continue playing), you will have a constant reminder of the cost your words can have.

Maybe if you do that it will help to diminish that toxicity in the heat of the moment. Best of luck to you.

Make a new account, you don't come off as a bad person. But you do accept the ban, which means riot was correct in the punishment. The game will still be here, while you relevel and reobtain the heros you wish to play. Don't fret friend many people were banned and reformed. Best of luck with the support ticket, but consider opening another account

You have my respect for owning up to past mistakes, and wanting to proceed with a different outlook on playing the game. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

Respect for your maturity man, not a lot of toxic %%%%s have what it takes to admit guilt and are weak as fuck, personally I think you should be back in the game but that is up to riot.

they can't lift your ban if you have been banned for toxicity. at least that's what they told me.

ModPrandine1/19/2017, 7:14:24 PM2 votes

Though bans for behavior issues are never overturned at least you learned your lesson. If you want to play again then just make a new account and play while doing your best to avoid doing and saying things that you know will just tick people off. Good luck.

Your post is very well written, but this is the main part that bugs me. If you loved and still love this community to that point (which most people do not) why did you not stop treating it in a way that was awful enough to get perma-banned?

I would like to know what goes through your mind when you are toxic. I want to know the mentality behind this behavior. When you see someone feeding as a result of a bad game what sort of magical Adventure Time logic works in your mind that makes you want to flame them even though you KNOW that it will make them play worse?

I used to be an aggressive person back in primary school. I got into fights a lot. Mostly when teased. But the thought never crossed my mind to ruin someone else's day unless they ruined mine. Did you do it because they were random people so you didn't know them and they didn't know you?

P.S. You are not going to get unbanned no matter sincere this apology is. An apology like this isn't something you do for the riot or even the community but it's more for yourself. If you are toxic again after writing this you don't just let the community down, you are also letting yourself down.

I used to be super toxic in season 5 when ever I played ranked. Flamed the person doing worst on my team every game, but I was lucky and never got banned at all (this account). I improved my attitude though and I think anyone can if they really try.

Shouldn't you get your money back if your account is permabanned? It's like telling you "hey i know you spent 1000 dollars on our game, but you broke the rules, so were gonna permaban you, and you'll never get that $1000 worth of stuff back, thanks for your money fam"

Im not trying to say spending money on the game makes it ok to break the rules but, if you spend money on something, wether its for a game or something in real life, and you get banned from said thing, you should get your money back, as you spent money on something you are no longer allowed to use.

Imagine spending $ on something , but you broke some rule,and are no longer able to use said thing , should you not get your money back?

if riot did some unpermaban promotion that would be nice 0.0004% of the community isnt much and giving them something to do to regain access to their accounts would be nice.

Swagnarok1/20/2017, 10:54:34 AM1 votes

I hereby solemnly swear to never be toxic again I've learned a valuable lesson Well, an expensive lesson so by that definition it was a valuable lesson lthough I think the argument could be made, that Riot is greedy and dishes out permabans a little too easily, forcing players to repurchase expensive skins that we end up being compelled to buy But that's none of my business So take it from me kids, don't be toxic Or Riot will grab your wallet by the *
