Banned Account

This was my last email to riot, i am just copying this and pasting here because I got a "Bot" answering me. I would like everyones opinion, my account was banned on December 2018 and I played this game since season 1-2. I know flamming isnt good and thats the reason I got perma banned, but I think everyone desirves a 2nd chance since people waste time and money to get just banned instead of getting some kind of approach to help them not to flame. Leave our comments below if you got anything to say so it could help me retrieve my account, because for me is unfair to just get rid of people if they complain with their reasons and nothing changes, inspite of having a easy solutions for people that flames, called "mute", but tell me your opinion.

"Hi again, im here to ask some questions and to retrieve my account back. Im open for any suggestion, i havent played league of some time now, but i really apreciate the game and i've spent a lot of time and money on this account. I just want to play the game on my account, thats all. You guys can disable my chat, I can pay back my account, any value, i can do anything, except spend tons of hours to get a account where I was and with the content I had, from old icons to skins i used my money to buy! I would like also what kinda of toxicity is choose to be banned and what you guys consider a toxic player. I also use to judge some cases like mine on your tribunal back in the days, but I only saw there people that flammed, what about griefing? Is that relative in ranked? If someone, in 30 minutes, ward 8 times, isnt that a bigger reason to ban? Or if someone just goes solo tons of times and feeds enemy team all game long and doesnt communicate or group up, isnt that a bigger reason to ban someone? Because a flammer can be muted and its possible to win a game. But if a griefer or feeder continues their work, its easy to lose games like that and I believe, along with several players from this community, that, if everyone plays 10 games and gets a griefer or feeder in ranked that doesnt communicate or group as a team, i can guarantee you that if you have those objectives like getting to gold, plat, etc... its just a case of time to you start being toxic. No one plays ranked to lose and with flammer, there is a easy way to ignore them in chat, but with griefers and feeders, there is no way if they dont communicate well with teammembers, group up and just continue their work or troll.

I am open to any suggestions to get my account back, i can fly to the headquarters, i can pay back my account, i can get my chat permanently disabled, what ever. Just want what i think its mine to keep, as long as the time and money I inserted on this game and account.

Its one thing resolving the problem itself and create a better community, but its another to never listen to a "toxic" or "flammer" player opinions and just ban those out of the game after invested a lot! "Toxic" or "Flammers" are also apart of the community and are also players. Even professionals can be toxic!

I know this is just going to be another failed attempt like everyone else attempt to get their account back, but yeah, i'll try 'till 80 years old, believe it or not.

Have a great day, João Vieira"

100% nothing will change as always but yeah, summoner 4 .

Sorry brother, as of the current policy, accounts that were correctly punished into permaban status will not be overturned.

As for a second chance, you can always start a new account.

as someone who has also been playing since the first few season (not specifically on this account) i went through a rough patch a while back and i received consecutive bans, a 2 week and then a permanent, i made a support ticket and due to the kindness of rioters and my accounts quite clean history i was granted a chance to redeem myself..

I don't have perfect interactions or judgement all the time but i feel that players mostly get banned for swearing these days.. i don't see all that many people on the boards getting banned for inting or poor game skills or anything of the sort, mostly just "flaming" in chat..

this game is pretty pg and i feel like the fact its so strict its just kinda one of those things.. i for one know that the culture of kids that age and especially older, all we do is flame each other in real life and online.. we swear and tell people all kinds of rude things, its our nature... in most cases i think bans related to chat are just stupid, they don't make the community any less toxic and it all gets directed into the boards in "f*** you riot" posts

i think you do deserve a chance to prove yourself as "worthy" to have your account back, but weather or not you will ever get that is slim to none

I totally agree, but you have to realise that you've already HAD your second chance.

And Riot has tried giving even more chances in the past, and it has never gone well..

The punishment ladder goes like this:

10 game chat restrict 25 game chat restrict 14 day ban Permanent ban

You can skip levels if you're extremely toxic, but the intention is that you'll never have recieve a permaban without first receiving a 14-day ban.

When you recieve the 14 day ban, it states that the next punishment will be a permanent suspension. It warns you, but you don't heed the warning. So in reality, you've already wasted your second chance.

That being said, Riot has experimented with giving players their accounts back. Sorry to say it, but when they initially did it, 95% of players got banned again. They did an experiment recently, but we don't have the exact stats of it though. News are that it didn't go well, sorry.

And these players were the exact same as you. They said they'd never be toxic again. That their chat could just be muted. They'd do anything. And when they got what they wanted, they just got banned again.

So you might understand now why you probably wont be recieving your account back :/

I'm not saying that you'll definently just get banned again, but you're statistically likely to.

You already had 2nd, 3rd and 4th chance between punishments assuming you didn't skip any. You don't get any special treatment from others so no, you won't get a ''2nd chance''.

You got many chances, actually. Your second chance came with a small chat restriction. Your third chance came with a longer chat restriction. Your fourth chance came after a two-week suspension. What you're actually asking for is a fifth chance, and you're not getting one.

It sounds like you are advocating the use of toxic behavior because your teammates aren't playing the game like you want them to. It's a multiplayer game. Lower ranks has many of these types of players. In order to leave them behind, you ignore them and play to the best of your ability and you'll rank up. Any other excuse is just an excuse to treat others how you want to no matter the consequences, or whether YOU are making the game horrible for them.

It's simple. Be nice. If you can't, then go play another game, because Riot wants players that encourage others to have fun. Players that have fun will return to the game more often, and spend money more often. Toxic players hurt their bottom dollar, and thus they go bye bye.

It is very, very fair to ban a player that is toxic enough to warrant a perma-ban. They've given those players more than enough chances to redeem themselves, and become the type of player they want in their game. While I will grant that Riot needs to change some things to improve player behavior, their warning/banning system really isn't one of them.

Let me put it this way. If you owned a store and a customer who's spent $1,000 started flaming 4 other customers that might only spend $300 each, would you allow them to keep coming into your store? That's your $1000 vs a total of $1,200 from other customers (plus even more from other customers as the toxic customer kept returning). What if you've already given them several chances to improve their behavior? Does it matter how much money they've spent? Would you care what that toxic customer had to say about how you could improve your store? Or would you worry more about the experience of all those other customers that are going to be spending money in your store? If you say anything other than "I'd boot that toxic customer out and ban them from returning," then you are not being honest to yourself or anyone else. They are running a business. You are hurting that business. Simple as that.
