This might be a longshot but..

I recently got a 14 day ban on my account. The reason I write this is because I have been toxic in the past and ive been actively trying to change in my games.

I feel like the duo I was with made a scape goat of me this game and despite the fact I tried to help other lanes and attempted to diffuse the situations in the game but some people ended up reporting me anyway (I did get a tiltproof honor from another team member tho).

Ive recently been working really hard on not being toxic, I was chat restricted in the past and I was afraid to get banned indefinitely since friends of mine got me skins on this account as gifts and I didn't want to throw that away.

To loop back I guess the only reason I write this post is because I actively was trying to not be toxic. Im at the point where I feel as tho the only way I can play this game anymore is full muting everyone and never talking. Even existing in the chat box feels like Ill just get targeted by someone who wants to place the blame somewhere. I guess I wonder aloud if I really just have to never talk to people in game in order for me to not get banned, which seems weird to me since its suppose to be a social game.

Just curious your thoughts.

I do commend you for your effort for staying tilt proof, but there's honestly no advantaged gained when you tell someone you muted them. It kind of makes you come off as someone who's ready to pull the trigger on mute or worse when something doesn't go your way.

Second, you don't need people to notice that you're 'helping' the team. People will tell you when they see it and then they'll thank you for it. Some of this text seems like fluff when you just talk about how good of a person you are when you're letting one or two players bug the crap out of you for something they said or did 15 minutes ago, which even then you muted them for. At least, that's what I as a reader am read to believe.

Third, you really don't need to question every bad thing that happens it a game. It puts more stress on your allies than you think. You get them stuck on that one bad moment and fogging their mind with thoughts of "this game is gonna be a total loss." This point may be hard to grasp though. You don't need to not talk to be a tilt proof player. Just don't comment on every detail and be a perfectionist about every match. There will always be something strange that happens and it just means you need to find other and more positive ways to react to those situations.

But as anyone would say, you asked for our thoughts as readers. So whether you agree with me or not, that's up to you. I'm just a player giving you their opinion on your behavior. An opinion you asked for.

There seems to be a heavy occurrence of scapegoat reports lately

Put in a support ticket and make your case.

Good luck.

Let us know how it goes.

Wait, you said something about "I'm trolling". That's sarcasm right? My brain feels frazzled right now, I think it's supposed to be sarcasm but I feel confused as to what I read. Not your fault, I'm just dumb right now.

Good luck on your ticket.

honestly all you did was mildly retaliate and argue with flamers i do it too sometimes

better not doing it anymore.. lately you can get banned with nothing

best of luck with your case, and a little advice (for both): don't ever argue in chat from now on or you lose the account

This happened to me too and it was a couple months ago and i still haven't recovered my honor levels and it the most demoralizing thing to happen. Send a ticket to customer support and tell them to look over it and your honor level before they recover your account. I really hope what happened to me doesn't happen to you, especially if you play solo q like me. This is very unjust and not fair.
