14 day ban

Hello, my name is Insaynyr.

I was recently banned for 14 days.

reasonably so , I called players very bad names and lost my cool too much.

i wanted to publically apologize for all I said and it's really stupid of me I decided to lose my cool over something so stupid.

i am going to change and become a nicer / supportive player as i used to be and not let my anger dictate my emotions/words anymore.

sorry If this is off-topic but it was the closest board i could find to my post here.

(this isn't a cry to reduce my ban, i deserve it.)

i would also like to know how other players who have been banned reformed or got better, as that is what i want to do strictly when i come back.

thank you for reading this, riot employee or normal player. have a good day.

I have never (1) been punished. I cannot say exactly the best course of action for someone in your situation, but you could try my method. I call it, Don't be a dick.

In short, if you would be angry if someone said it to you, don't say it to others. Additionally, steer clear of spamming (it's just annoying), asking for reports (just report at the end of the game, 1 report holds the same weight as 9 reports), do not use any hateful language (racial slurs, homophobic terms, or telling others to inflict harm on themselves or others).

Lastly, if someone is harassing you, just mute them, and report at the end of the game.

I'm happy to see you trying to turn it around and I'm rooting for you! Good luck!


(1) As far as I can remember, I have never been punished.

Just don't type anything and play the game. Thats all you have to do.

Good on you for trying to do better. I understand that dealing with teammates can be really frustrating and trying at times.

If you're interested in learning techniques to communicate more effectively and keep your teammates listening to you and following your lead I wrote a post about the whole subject, feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any interest in the subject, or any additional questions about it.

Edit: (The post also goes over some general advice to not get reported and banned.)

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you come back, but just so you know, you're on pretty thin ice after your 2 week punishment. It takes a couple months to get your account back into good standing. But I think you can do it.

The easiest way to go from tilting to not tilting is pretending that interacting with your team is just a social minigame. Pretend they're bots and you're trying to get them to do the things you need to win without setting off the report / ban meter.

"Bruh you going with that new imaqtpie build? I was laughing the other day when he was saying how bad blue ez is. So true lol"

Everyone loses their cool, but it's rare to see people own up to their own mishaps

Two things. Mute, report move on. If anyone is bothering you, follow this.

If you are having a string of bad games, just stop playing.

Looks like I gotta be that guy that breaks the ice in here.

Sorry buddy, but you just lost your ranked rewards. Think about that the next time you want to be toxic, and ask yourself if its worth missing out on rewards. Riot's been doing a fantastic job recently on rewarding those with high honor levels, and next season will be even better.
