An honest plea for leniency in toxicity.

So, I just received a permanent ban. And I'm going to be honest, despite efforts to clean up my act, I probably deserve it, and it probably can't be fixed anyway, but I'm going to make a plea, and just a general confession, because I'm at the end of my ropes in a few ways.

So, a bit of background, I've played League since around season 1, but I moved to Dota and only recently came back as a way to get my girlfriend into it. In my actual life, I've been trying to get things going, and working with an ever worsening depression. And that's where a lot of the issues come from. For those that don't know, anger is a common side effect of aggression. It isn't an excuse; I can control it, but I fail to. I'm lately attempting to get medicated because...well, it's gotten bad, not to say the least. When I came back to League, I was actually very proud of how I did, not raging at all and getting many honors. But as it went on, and as other things added stress, I failed. I raged too often. I don't intentionally feed, quit, or go AFK, but I rage a lot.

I only ask for a bit of leniency because I am trying to get help and get this addressed. IT hasn't just effected my gameplay, but my life in many ways, and I'm very disappointed in myself in a lot of ways. But League helps, a lot, as does being able to play with my girlfriend. It's one of the few good things left in my life right now, and I don't know if I have it in me to start it over again.

I don't know what I'm really asking for, other than one last chance that I probably don't deserve while I get things in order, and just wanting to apologize for being a stain on the community. I try and be better, and I failed. I guess a lot of people do :/

Take some time to consider your situation.

Is league really making you happy? What are the chances that you will rage and get banned again?

League is fun, and I actually do enjoy it overall.

To be honest, if I didn't have my previous record(which was extremely toxic), I don't even know if I'd have gotten suspended. I was bad, but not awful, and had more great games than bad ones, where I got honored quite a bit.

"Bad" is punished the same as "awful".

In order to keep an account, you have to consistently be "good". All those random "bad" games will stack up. If you mistakenly have an "awful" game, you will lose your account again.

You will get warnings with a new account. I suggest if you happen to get warned on a new account, you do not yet have enough self control to remain unpunished.
