Perma Banned.
Welcome. My name is Gabe, and I was one of the 0.006% of players toxic enough to get permanently banned.
No, first off, this isn't some kind of appeal to get my account back. This is a post about why I should have gotten banned, and in the future, how other people shouldn't get banned.
Yesterday, I played my last game on my account, "trofter". I played
jungle, and I lost my first game on my series to silver 2. But little did I know I would also lose my account. I said some very stupid things, and If you want, I can post the chat logs if so requested. But anyways, In just the past 3 months, I was banned for toxicity, and I guess I didn't learn my lesson. Although I am kind of mad that I got banned, I can see how it was fair.
I feel like it my obligation to tell you guys why I feel that my ban should not be changed, and why I will most likely move on from this game.
The point of this post is to help people who are currently raging, and are on the verge of getting a week ban or whatever the lowest level punishment is. First off, if you are fed up with the game, take a break. Go download something like Pokemon Zeta and Pokemon Omicron. Play something like Nitro Type. BTD5. Something other than league that is less stressful. If you find you are being stressed just by playing a videogame, a thing designed to relieve stress and have fun, that game might not be for you at the current time. Just take a break for a couple days or whatever it takes. Secondly, just mute them. Muting someone will pretty much make it impossible for them the hurt your feelings. How can they hurt your feelings if they can’t even talk to you? They can’t. The creators of this game added a mute button for reason, and this is why. If someone is disrupting the game, then the you can just mute them. I couldn’t count how many times muting someone would have helped me just not be toxic, and possibly even win games.
Another way to be less toxic in games, is to play for fun. If you can do your best, and I mean try your best, to just play for fun. If you have fun playing rather than being worried that if you lose you will get demoted, you will be less likely to be toxic. There isn’t much to this one.
There is a lot of stressors that can affect you when playing league. From a feeding team mate to a real life problem. But the most important thing is to just have fun, and not worry about what your team is doing. Even if your team is down 100 kills, just not saying anything won’t get you banned. Typing something most of the time will just cause your team to backlash. There isn’t much you can do to shut down a flaming team mate. I will give you an analogy. Think of the person who is flaming as a grease fire. Adding your opinion, or water, will just splash the grease on to you, and now they will be flaming you. But, if you just let the fire burn, then eventually, the fire will run out of fuel, and it will dwindle, and then, it stops.
Just remember, just being quiet, will be better than fighting the fire.
Don't treat mistakes like mistakes, always use your mistakes to learn. (I can’t remember who said that)
