Work off 14 day bans?

GigglesO·Apr 19, 2016·4 votes·1,833 views

Is it possible to work back to the first tier of being punished if you go a long enough period of time without being punished? I'm a little curious with all the people saying they are "suddenly permabanned" if they hadn't worked off their crimes, or they had been insta-escalated to permaban status.

Example: Step 1: Someone works off their chat ban, and a significant time for them to become considered "reformed" occurs. Step 2: They get punished.

Where does their punishment pick up?

I think 3 months to drop a tier or something like that. got 14 days? wait 3 months and your next punishment after will be 14 days.

I know it definitely isn't based off of just time.

of course you'd have to be playing games as well.

Riot has only provided the criteria in time so far. The rest is in the dark for us.

Yeah you can work it off.... I am not sure how long it takes per tier but you can get back to a neutral/positive account standing by playing enough without getting valid reports....

Riots says it is possible.....I have never seen it.......but they say it might happen someday.

Well, I was just worried, because I got a 14 day ban I want to say almost 2 years ago now, and I haven't gotten a single chat ban or anything since then. (I'm even earning hextech rewards) I'm just a little worried that I might be getting reported a bit much for my support morde games. I'm not trolling, but it definitely makes some people angry in plat. Then again it is plat. Everyone is angry (all the time) in plat.

IIRC it takes 3 months per level of ban, so you should be back to no punishment at the moment. I don't konw for sure though.

If your earning Hextech rewards I would say your on your way to being positive. As long as your trying to win and not being toxic in chat your fine.

If you're earning hextech rewards then you've already gone past all the punishment tiers and have fully reformed. Your next punishment should be a chat ban.

There's a reason why you've yet to see it happen. It's because there's no such thing as a reformation system. It's just something Riot's saying to keep people happy while not having to show anything for it. Just like how they decided not to tell people that Tribunal has already been back but they don't want it back in the hands of the players, so it's being ran by Riot's behavioral specialists.

From the sounds of the rest of this post it appears the Op is a reformed player.

They went from a 14 day ban to receiving rewards......that is what the reform system is.

I don't see any indication in this thread that anyone is even sure how it works. Noone even seems to know anyone who's been successfully reformed after a 14 day ban. Riot says nothing as to how it works other than to play the game, but even then there's nothing that shows that your standing changes other than getting permabanned.

So yes, there's nothing to show that reform system exists other than words. There has been noone that I've seen that's been reformed from a 2 week ban. If there's nothing to show for it, it doesn't exist.

The punishement happened 2 years ago. Everyone got a clean slate 5-6 months ago. The fact that he hasn't been punished since the clean slate makes your quote invalid

6 months no punishment kinda means the Op is reformed..... Just because you don't want to think that a person can reform or better themselves doesn't mean it can't happen.........

If your a toxic player and managed to get a 14 day ban under the old system but havn't been punished under the new HARSHER INSTANT FEEDBACK SYSTEM I would call that reformed......

RedTaoApr 19, 20161 votes

I have no issues with people who have reformed. My issue is that noone who has been 14 day banned under new system still have not reformed. This would lead me to think this reformation system does not exist.

If you've reformed, kudos to you. You knew what was wrong and changed. If you haven't been declared reformed after 4-6 months with no warnings that you've been reformed (Those lovely popups that keep saying you've been reported for months on end), it's probably because this reformation system Riot claims they have does not exist.

I don't know if anyone who knows the specifics is on at this hour but yes, time is one of the factors that goes into lowering your punishment tier.

When you go down a tier your next punishment will be the tier you just came from. So if you had a 14 day ban, but have been good for long enough to go down a tier, your next punishment will be another 14 day ban. If you don't get punished long enough you'll go all the way past a chat ban to having a clean account.

It is possible for someone to be suddenly permabanned, but unless they are being a completely racist and terrible excuse of a human being that's honestly not likely.

How difficult it is to reform from the 14-day tier depends on what sets you off, I think.

For example, what caused me to be "toxic" was me putting too much pressure on myself to do well in-game, and breaking down as a result. Naturally, the added pressure of an impending permanent ban if I screwed up made it even harder to handle the problem, and I couldn't just do nothing because then I'd never work it off...

For people with hair-trigger tempers towards others, it's just a matter of learning to mute and ignore.

If you become "reformed" you'll just go back into Tier 1 of punishments. But I think it just escalates MUCH quicker.

The players that escalated to instant perma-ban status weren't "reformed" and Riot deems them too toxic for the community despite working off bans and whatnot. So ... just don't be toxic every game.

I just mute people that begin to flame me now so I don't suddenly go all out and get reported. I am earning keys and hextech chests.. So i guess I reformed now

I believe the 3 months per tier is a rough estimate that assumes regular play with consistant good behavior. Basically, dropping out of LoL for 3 months doesn't mean you'll come back to find your account in better standing. You have to prove you've learned.
