How do I avoid a second ban (Help me identify what I said wrong so I can learn )

Hello, this might be my first forum made ever so expect a bit of...unorganized stuff. Hey at least I finally lost my "Forum F-card" !!! Try to read disclaimers first !!!

What I want to know is why I got banned so I can avoid doing the same mistakes, since in my eyes I was just using the chat for whining /crying about getting my pick banned in draft(only reason I decided to play was cause of a single champ), just because my name was that of a "weeb".

Chat Log : Game 1 Pre-Game Hínata Uzumàki: ? Hínata Uzumàki: can i ask why my champ got banned ? Hínata Uzumàki: riven Hínata Uzumàki: but i never play riven too much, plus name wasn't really my choice :/ Hínata Uzumàki: ad soraka top time Hínata Uzumàki: thank our adc btw :) Hínata Uzumàki: "banned your champ cuz of your name" , geez In-Game Hínata Uzumàki: shaco no ignite and also dead :) Hínata Uzumàki: oh wait i forgot , i'm a weeb Hínata Uzumàki: shouldn't i start getting butthurt and trolling/feeding this game ? Hínata Uzumàki: cuz jhin banned my champ cuz of my name Hínata Uzumàki: i see no one saying no Hínata Uzumàki: plus i'm constantly camped by shaco Hínata Uzumàki: so no one said anything, so muting every1 and not caring about the game's result :) Hínata Uzumàki: you can thank jhin for that btw :) Hínata Uzumàki: and every1's muted Hínata Uzumàki: be sure to thank jhin btw Hínata Uzumàki: cuz he bans my only champ that i want to play Hínata Uzumàki: and every1's cool with it apparently Hínata Uzumàki: I FUCKING REALLLLYYYYY LIKE Hínata Uzumàki: how everyone right now, is saying i'm the toxic, even though i got trolled Hínata Uzumàki: k team Hínata Uzumàki: tbh try all u want Hínata Uzumàki: but i have a chronic illness and the only reason i qued up was to play riven Hínata Uzumàki: now it's just boring and i'm leaving Hínata Uzumàki: bye Hínata Uzumàki: did i ever say flamming ? Hínata Uzumàki: or did i say my body is fuked up and only reason i played was to try riven Hínata Uzumàki: which got banned by jhin Hínata Uzumàki: like i said Hínata Uzumàki: thank jhin for whatever happens Hínata Uzumàki: damn, do i love unintentionally feeding :P Hínata Uzumàki: and also yea sure, whatever u say jhin Hínata Uzumàki: yea that's what i'm saying Hínata Uzumàki: if you didn't care what jhin did Hínata Uzumàki: don't care about what i do Hínata Uzumàki: yea sure Hínata Uzumàki: that line just says it Hínata Uzumàki: bye again Hínata Uzumàki: report soraka for what ? Hínata Uzumàki: so if i stop talking ? i won't get reported ? Hínata Uzumàki: am i afk ? did i intentionally feed ? did i ever flame ? Hínata Uzumàki: so being upset about getting troll-banned champ is considered flamming ? Hínata Uzumàki: .... Post-Game Hínata Uzumàki: ah ofc report soraka Hínata Uzumàki: what did i expect from people like u Hínata Uzumàki: nothing but ignorance Hínata Uzumàki: hey let's not say something to the cause of the issue

Disclaimers :- 00 : I did edit it a bit to make it more smoother, but didn't remove a single word.

01 : I did say "bye" just to make them think I might afk but in reality I'm just reconnecting cause of wifi issues(some reason wifi is faster than lan for me discovered that about a week ago). I do that sometimes to scare people, for the sake of them stop trolling/flaming/blaming but if that joke is considered negative behavior then just tell me and I'll stop using it.

02 : The whole "unintentionally feeding" is also a joke, cause that basically means I'm not feeding on purpose.

03 : I got called toxic I think cause I typed a lot? also probably I may have ignored my teamates 1-2 times, obviously cause I didn't care to focus 100% and phone was ringing constantly.]

04 : Forgive me if I'm being ignorant and assumed wrong information, they only showed me chat log for 1 game, so I assumed I was only banned for the chat log of this specific game. If not then I don't really think I've been toxic previously cause I always play with premades now and I'm usually the one telling my friends to stop flamming cause let's be honest all I care about is winning mostly.

Conclusion : What to avoid , cause it was only a 10-game chat ban and I don't care about it but they said it affects my honor level which is sad for me. Also correct my assumed information if it was wrong and I'd probably forgot about a game where I was toxic. Long story short, does whining and crying in chat get you banned ? even if you never actually insulting anyone ? Also have a good day, you'll need it after reading such a long and boring text wall :P again first time and got bad habit of over-writing, I apologize :P

Update : Feels so bad, got my honor reset to lvl 1 cause of this, is that actually fair now ? So because I spammed/complained/was upset that I got trolled in one game, I end up with an instant chat ban(no warning) and all those weeks of extra positivity trying to get to to 5 back from 0 (yea got banned before, learned my lesson that time). All those weeks, maybe even months just lost because of me getting upset and complaining in chat ? geez riot guess there's no reason for me to be extra positive, cause apparently one game like this where I'm not positive(not negative, just not positive either) could easily set me back to 1, why bother trying to be positive and a teamplayer/sportsmanlike at all. I mean gj that ban taught me something, not what you wanted but I guess it's something, it's useless to be positive cause two guys wanting to troll then troll report you can easily make it all go to waste.

  1. There is no need to tell people that you are muting them or reporting them, even as a joke. It can be construed as bullying.
  2. Also I would recommend not saying that you are trolling, even if you don't go through with it or joking around with it. That is also rude and people might take it seriously.
  3. While banning a champ someone wants to play is rude, there is no need to rag on someone about it. You can say "Hey, not cool" once but don't keep bringing it up.

I think this behavior, especially #3, is what flagged this particular game, but bans/restrictions can happen due to multiple games. While typing a lot can be problematic if it distracts from the actual game, typing a lot doesn't trigger the system, its more about what you type.

Hmm, I wonder if TROLLING YOUR TEAM might have upset them. Such a PERPLEXING case.

WHAT WENT WRONG

Hínata Uzumàki: shouldn't i start getting butthurt and trolling/feeding this game ?

This is definitely something never to say in a game. This sets the tone for your team for your behavior; they'll likely think you're planning to troll or feed the moment you say this, and everything else you type into chat, every death, every action you take in game will be put in this context. Negative attitude again.

Hínata Uzumàki: you can thank jhin for that btw :)

Passive aggressive behavior is also negative, and your Jhin (along with the rest of your team) likely caught onto it. Negative attitude.

Hínata Uzumàki: like i said Hínata Uzumàki: thank jhin for whatever happens

This is also passive aggressive and almost threatening in tone. It makes your team feel you're holding them captive in the game and that no matter what, you're going to do your best to throw the game, essentially making it a 4v6. Nobody likes that. Negative attitude again, with the added factor that any deaths after could be seen as intentional feeding, and a player would just have to point to these lines in the comments to give context.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

If your teammate bans your pick or says something that tilts you:

  1. Breathe
  2. Ask them why they banned your pick
  • Be open-minded and hear them out - they might have a good reason
  • If they don't respond, don't ask them in game; let it go
  • If they do respond and it's reasonable (i.e., this is a really popular champion that's strong in this patch and I don't want the enemy team to possibly have that sort of power), thank them for explaining and pick a new champ
  • If they do respond and it's not reasonable (i.e., I don't like your name), ignore them and pick a new champ
  • If they don't respond, ignore them and pick a new champ
  1. In-game, don't mention them or the topic again; save all in-game chatter for planning and maneuvers, and even then, attempt to express ideas through pings
  • In addition, don't ping your teammates who frustrate you over and over
  1. Whenever you die in the match, take that gray screen as a moment to breathe and remind yourself that this internet stranger is not worth the energy to be angry at
  2. If the player in question said or did anything specifically to upset you and you can prove it (said something nasty in chat, ghosted you while you were jungling to steal camps, etc.) then report them after the match

Going forward, this is your best bet for reducing your chances of a second ban. Point #3 will help you a whole lot.

Best of luck going forward, Hinata.

Why even stress. Just make a new account and dont buy any skins. It takes like one week to do it and if you dont have anything of value on it u dont really lose anything when you are banned. You'll still be playing the game.

Turn off chat.

The end. :D

You got so worked up over the ban to riven, you should avoid that or anything like it whatsoever. If someone does that to you just ignore them because

  1. they're trolling and 2)they're most definitely trolling. Or they did it by mistake. Whenever they do that just stay Quiet and pick another champ. the champ is gone, nothing that you can say will bring it back so why bother?

Something else that you have to avoid is troll picking, you picked AD soraka top because Jhin banned your champ, you forgot that you have other 3 members on your team that want to win. By doing that you're trolling them for something they didn't do.

Stuff that you have to avoid in the future, NEVER threaten to AFK or int, I see a lot of people getting chat restrictions because of that, don't flame your teammates, don't argue with people. When someone flames you or trolls just IMMEDIATELY hit the mute button. Believe me, It's not worth your account man. There's other stuff that you have to avoid, I would provide the link to it but I don't know how :p

Well you swore.

No but SERIOUSLY seriously, no jokes anymore, here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • Mistakes happen to even the best of us
  • Some people really don't know what they're doing is wrong, so always keep that in mind if you decide to speak to them
  • Be positive, be humble, never be condescending
  • Always be friendly. Talk to people as if you're talking to your mum
  • If you criticize, do so in a positive, constructive manner
The Highest Noon8/11/2018, 2:11:40 PM

No but seriously, chat less and just accept that sometimes shit goes wrong and Riot believes that if other players wanna be bad, they're allowed to be bad.
