Riot don't take their ticket system seriously

Riot ticket system are suppose to be a way in which you can go to them if you have any of your problems. However with the problem that I have, they keep either ignoring my tickets and instantly closing them. I have noticed a trend that if you send in a ticket to riot, they will always send you an automated sounding response first, often not being helpful and probably something they just copy off of a script. It is only after you reply to that automated response that they bother to read the ticket and response accordingly.

I think it's unfair to assume that the automated responses don't help many people. It seems like a pretty efficient system to me. It may seem slow to someone that needs to speak with a human being, but they are handling a huge number of tickets. It would take longer for you to get what you needed if they didn't send the automated messages to everyone.

As to the other point you brought up, I have seen times that a player considers a ticket unresolved, but the Rioter answered their question to the best of their ability. If you submit a ticket to undo a permanent ban, for instance, it's not a good use of their time to send 20 messages back and forth trying to explain to someone why their account got banned. And if they are getting harassed, they are going to close the ticket.

The screenshot you sent is a great way to get them to ignore you forever. It's rude, it doesn't tell them what you want, and it starts out accusing them of not doing their job right. I wouldn't respond to you either, frankly.

Perhaps I can shed some light on this as someone who's been in IT for 16 years and is currently in a Network Operations Manager role, I'm in charge of the Help Desk and all other IT-support related functions at our company.

Quite often there is a disconnect between the user and the technician as to whether a ticket is actually resolved, and I can tell you it happens quite often that a technician has resolved the issue to the best of their ability but the user refuses to accept that answer because it's not what they want to hear.

Usually the issue entails company policy, large expenditures, or other scenarios where I or my technicians do not have the authority to make exceptions for the user - regardless of whether they consider their issue closed or not, and regardless of its 'importance' to them.

Take what I have with <200 users and multiply that exponentially for what Riot has to deal with. There is no feasible cost-effective way to give personal attention to every single ticket, which is where automated responses come in.

What issue did you submit a ticket for? A chat restriction or ban? A purchase problem? A bug? Something else? The boards can give you better advice, but I can tell you right now, if you're appealing a justified ban or chat restriction, a form letter reply is pretty much all you're going to receive.

But weren't you already told that there is nothing they can do for your scripting ban?
