Account banned for 14 days after one bad game.

AkitakaHashimoto·Jan 1, 2017·3 votes·2,041 views

I know that I played really bad that game. I tried my best to win however lee would just instakill me every time I went to farm or teamfight.

I am really bad adc player however I was autofilled into it. Playing against skilled players as unskilled adc can be very difficult and punishing.

If I had shown such behavior for multiple accounts, I would have admitted that I am unskilled and accept the ban, however, 14 days account ban for one

badly played game seems too harsh for me. Can any rioter reply to me?

If it really was just a bad game (the system is pretty good at not punishing for that), submit a Support Ticket and request they manually review your case.

They don't ban for being "bad", don't accept a punishment for it.

I watched the replay for that game. The parts where you tried to constantly 1v2/3/4/5 the enemy team and you walking into the unknown without vision (you placed 4 wards) left me unconvinced that this was not intentionally feeding.

After watching the replay myself, I have to agree. The disregard for his own safety is obvious, both by walking straight into dangerous areas without vision and initiating fights against far more powerful (and multiple) enemies constantly, but also even afk'ing a few times in plain sight of them.

You can tell he's actually decent at playing an ADC by watching him duel and farm, but his decisions despite that seem nothing less than malicious. I believe a manual review by Riot would come to the same conclusion.

It looked more like he was just used to playing a tank. And considering he is a diamond player. Even if he sucks at everything else he would still be able to farm

The afk could also be explained by lag

It is extremely unlikely (as in no one has ever produced evidence of it happening) that you got banned for playing badly that game. Everyone has bad games and even if you feed hard as long as there is no evidence that it was intentional it is not a behaviour issue. Beyond that, with the exception of extreme hate speech, bans are never given out for a single game. What is more likely is that the ban was related to problematic behaviour over a series of games. Check the email related to the account and you should have a message from Riot detailing the reason for the ban along with chat logs from those games.

Once you've reviewed those, if you still feel that there is something unreasonable about the ban post copies of those chat logs here since that is usually the first thing a Rioter will require before they discuss your behaviour on the boards. If you don't want to post your chat logs (which itself should indicate something) you need to email [email protected] to discuss anything.

It says I have been banned for intentionally feeding game 1. I know that I played badly, but I have not fed intentionally. Also, its all because of one game I played badly. I know that I affected my teammates and enemy team by playing badly, but I did not intentionally feed.

Guess the system just recognized you were inting or something

Your story is kind of believable. Esp since auto filled lul.

scazzmanJan 1, 20171 votes

looking at his match history. it's pretty clear he wasnt inting. however sadly. riot will only reverse permabans. so you're still gonna be stuck without loot for awhile

I've gotten permabanned what do you think the chances are that RIOT will have mercy? http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/tXRiFA1u-i-wish-for-a-second-chance

they've reversed 14-day bans before. You'll see it here and there on Help and Support boards.

scazzmanJan 1, 20171 votes

and the sad part. REAL intentional feeders get away scott free

Things like this are really hard to actually determine. Im sure when Riot looks into things like this they actually look into the game. But looking at your game matches there are some questionable things. Let alone the fact that these are Rank matches, so they would want to get people who are feeding out before ruining more peoples Rank matches!

But i would say contact support. They would give more more information and possibly evidence since they only showed one match (which doesnt mean that is the only game you were feeding in)

Make an alt account and practice playing adc until your ban is over. Try to stay with your team more also. Its not very easy for a melee champion to kill you if you're surrounded by your teamates and being careful keeping your distance. I'm sure your team would have told you to stay with them or something like that if you were feeding the enemy that hard. I've had experience playing with people who refuse to listen to their teammates advice and would just do their own thing like staying in the same lane all game long insisting they still need to push their lane more and get that first tower before they can join their teammates.

!. I seriously doubt this is the only offense you've ever had. 2. umm yeaaa Reply was kind of bad but also. We can't see your chat log and I have a feeling it was pretty bad

Wait you autofilled to adc.. unlikely.. and you said that you are bad at adc but played Vayne a high skill champ to boot....

File an appeal and have to argue with them about it possibly, as long as you were not just running into a tower there is a replay they can watch and see.

You walked into unwarded areas and tried to fight multiple enemies that were much more powerful and fed than you were. Sometimes you were even AFKing/standing still near the enemies. Yet you still wound up with a pretty solid CS count, which makes me think you were a decent/okay ADC who was just trolling. Your decision making as a diamond player doesn't convince me that you weren't intentional feeding or trolling. Also, of the 28 kills your team got, you only participated in 3 of them. Usually, even in a bad game, I would think an ADC would be able to get their hands on a couple more kills/assists.

That said, I'm not letting Riot's FeederBuster (or whatever they call it) off the hook. I'm a bit shocked you got banned after one game considering your other games look pretty solid. There are posts on the forums of people/bots inting for 15-20 games straight with high death counts, no assists, no kills, barely any cs with all boots/all zeals/all tears that haven't been banned yet.

If you do want to protest your ban, you can still contact Riot Support, but don't be surprised if they don't reverse your ban.
