Can you get perma banned for unintentionall feeding?

Hey, I have a question. I started playing League only recently and I haven't dove into the Elo hell of ranked yet but with the upcomming season 8 I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm not a good player. At all. I tend to misplay a lot. I have my good games, but most of the time I go negative KDA, and even in normals I get accused of feeding. I'm not toxic and I apologize for my lack of knowledge about the game and its mechanics but I still get flamed and threatened that I would get reported. My question is, if I feed but just cause I'm still bad at the game, if my teammates report me, am I in perill for a ban? Like I said, I'm never toxic on chat nor do I ever intentionally feed. I have already spend some money in the game and I'd hate to lose it all if something like that would happen. Any advice would be welcomed

no unless RIOT believes you are intentionally feeding and trying to make it look unintentional.

but in a general sense no if you are legitimately playing the game honestly but just it playing baldly they wont ban you.

I remember when they used to let you report people for being "Unskilled player"

That report never actually did anything though -- it was just a venting tool. :P

That was actually for match making adjustments when the MMR system was first introduced.

That report option became obsolete since 2013.

If you don't type anything at all indicating that you are inting (Intentionally feeding) or buy 6 zeals/tears w.e then you will not be banned.

It's theoretically possible, if your gameplay is so horrendous that it's mistaken for intentionally losing. I saw a post not too long ago by a guy who was banned for intentional feeding, and it looked like he was just utterly outclassed by his opponent to the point of dying every possible chance he had. That's an extremely rare and narrow example, though, and it's only my interpretation of his match history, so it may not even be true. And situations like that can be appealed with a support ticket.

But there are no penalties for having bad games or being a bad player. You'll be fine.

It's happened to me.

After 2 games in a row with toxic players, i played the game I still regret I played : My adc had a very bad start (I was support), he died before the 1st minions was dead, even if i warned him about the danger. And he started to be toxic, blaming me, I couldn't handle it so I muted him but then his premades (4 premades i guess) became toxic too. My gameplay was horrible and the fed enemies team couldn't stop to focus me. I ended the game tilted more than ever, with the worst kda ever (0/19/0) ><. I probably received 4 reports from the premades.

Few second after the game, I was banned 14 days. I had the feeling to be 'punished' by a line of code : ' if( report = 4 && KDA = BAD) ban ! ' . It's sad.

Anyway, I won't try to argue with the support, I pretty sure it will be useless. And it's a kind of punishment for having my worst game ever. Next time i'm tilted, I'll play more safe. (Perhaps, if I went afk, unfortunatly like a LOT of people do, I wouldn't get banned...)

I'm just glad it's not permanent :p

you can content it with player support. Unless you were really purposefully feeding, which you will know full well if you were or not.

If it does happens, send in a ticket to to riot and (unless I'm mistaken) they'll review chat logs to make sure there were no threats of "guess i'll run it down mid" or anything like that, and (should) check the match history of the other player. If that player is consistently outperforming you and you didn't say anything along the lines of throwing, then you should be fine. But all in all the odds of that happening are slim. (note that I have no clue what would actually happen, this is only an assumption of what i think should happen in cases like this)

way to empower a feeder who knows he's going to ruin ranked games because of his ineptness. go son and ruin some games, the rito cheerleading squad is right behind you! hahaha

I really hope people can get permabanned for that maybe then they would realize they need to go play another game... like candy crush or something.
