Banned for trying to calm down other player flaming team

Vel Existor·5/6/2017, 3:39:57 PM·2 votes·815 views

I think I want to say "Thank you, RIOT" for such popular and great game. Really, League of Legends took a lot of years in my life and there were a lot of great and terrible games. I were toxic sometimes, had 14-day bans, had permanent ban on other account, had skins, had honor, had pentas and even many comebacks were there.

But mostly I remembered from all these games is that game makes you negative. I am trying to stop flame after chat restrictions, trying to calm down myself, since I know that I can't relearn whole world and not need to answer anything to toxic people, even things like "toxic, muted, focus on game" or "we have afk player, half of team doing nothing or flaming eachother, idk what to do"

After 3th permanent ban I can clearly say that League of Legends is cancer-game of game industry. It is deep game, with cool skins, constant fresh content, champion reworks and all such stuff, but atmosphere in game makes you toxic, turns you into negative mood. Many last games I tried to hold my nerves and not type anything but instead trying to calm down other player, politely, without insulting with bad words or cancer wishes, it resulted with no honor, but sometimes chat restrictions.

In ranked I want to win, my team mates want to win in chat and flame/argue with eachother. If I mute all, I got report for no communication. If I don't feed and don't participate in teamfights where my team from bad positioning dies first and blames me for being alive, I got report.

Too many things in this game result with a report. Literally you can cover anything with report. I don't know, but League of Legends was fun and at same time, stressful game for me. Every game takes an hour, every onesided clearly lost game where it goes 3-15 team kills (in favor of enemy team) had no surrender, because 2 of 5 players in team thought they can win and tried to spend some more time in that game with same mistakes, bad positioning, no focus in teamfights, and lack of warding.

Everyone trolls everyone, and if you try to calm down someone, you get hurt even more. I just want to play classic MOBA, with standard team composition where there is tank and support, where support doing team protection (adc especially) and others doing their job IN GAME, not in chat.

Thank you RIOT, this game was terrible fun and funny terrible. Last year I noticed that League of legends started to steal more and more things from heroes of the Storm which I play too at this moment. Quests on support items, pushing monsters (Rift Herald), zzrot (abathur), yorick rework (whole specialist idea from hotS, burrowed from 3 hots specs), weaker towers that leading to faster (are they?) games, and many other small things.

I wanted to create new account in League and start from scratch, but now I think that it is not worth it. This game is extremely toxic, it makes everyone toxic, it frustates, and wins are not that satisfying. These wins in half cases are just stomp of enemy team that flames eachother and focused on wrong things.

P.S. I know that there will be incoming downvotes, insulting comments like "you deserve that ban", but try to understand: you will be banned too, if you say that to me, sooner or later. This game makes you toxic, even if you're calm guy/girl that tries to focus on game.

tldr I think, I'm done with League of legends. Great game, thanks RIOT for so many wasted hours of my life, I say that in positive way, there were a lot of awesome games, but there were also a lot of games where I can't just observe all problems of MOBA games: toxicity, flaming eachother, people prefer to teach others how to play or insult with bad words, forgetting that they lose too if their team mate struggles with no help.

One thing I learned from League of Legends - get a life, really. I'd recommend that to you too. I wasted so many hours in trying to perform at some level, not the best one, not the trash one. But for what? RIOT created game enviroment where banned players will buy another account and invest moneys in it again, and again. I won't do that 4th time, because for me, League of legends is toxic game.

P.P.S. I'd like to hear some detailed tech support opinion on why these last 2 chat logs were a reason of my permanent ban. I didn't insult anyone in these two chat logs and didn't flame, I were not negative and I was the one who was hurt by other players with their toxic attitude.

In these chat logs it shows only my messages, but try to look at FULL chat logs, where one player called me trash even when I helped him miltiple times. That is not nice, that is rude and provoking. I'm not an emotionless human-cyborg that should read all these things with stone face. But in the end I'm the one who becomes banned... for trying to ask support to buy wards.

Who puts the TLDR in the middle of their diatribe?

Don't try to pin the blame of your punishment on anyone else in League. This punishment is yours, and yours alone. If you want to have a conversation about why you had your punishment, then post your chat logs. But if this is your 3rd time being banned, I'm thinking you already know why you were banned.

Did you know that Kevin Lacey of Cincinnati, OH won the 2016 Putt-Putt National Championship? It was his second time!.... the MSI icon is on sale for 1 IP! Represent your (North American, ahem) region!

so... you have been PERMA banned 3 times and you still haven't learned a single thing from every single one of them? sorry but don't try to put the blame on riot when it's your issue that you cannot behave in game

After 3th permanent ban I can clearly say that

That will you never change and will be banned a 4th time if you starts a new account ?

It's funny how i never ever got banned but you managed to be banned 3 time, dont you ever learn ?

P.S. I know that there will be incoming downvotes, insulting comments like "you deserve that ban", but try to understand: you will be banned too, if you say that to me, sooner or later. This game makes you toxic, even if you're calm guy/girl that tries to focus on game.

Actually no. There's some thing called self control, helping you to not type anything negative into the chat, you seem to lack some. Maybe a medical issue, have you ever considered seing a doctor ?

P.P.S. I'd like to hear some detailed tech support opinion

Then contact tech support, this is the public board here.

In these chat logs it shows only my messages, but try to look at FULL chat logs,

No it doesnt work like that. It's a bit sad after 3 ban you still dont understand how the system works. When you are reported, there's an automatic check on your chatlogs for the game. Just YOUR chatlogs. Then it proceeds to determine if these logs were negative or not. It doesnt look at the context or anything, it justs looks at the facts : what you have written.

Also since you didnt post your chatlog we wont even be able to tell you why this ban was well deserved, but this isnt going to change anything, people like you post everyday multiple times a day on this board, they do not get their ban lifted and they all deserved their ban.

show us the money dude.

POST THEM CHAT LOGS!

99/100 times this ends with chat logs showing you saying the N word or something equally bad.

(However, I will say that it's not unheard of, especially if you get targeted by larger troll groups who actively try to incite you verbally and/or statistically, by denying you any kills and having enemy team focus you. They usually aren't even subtle anymore, since I had games recently where literally enemy champs run to other players on my team rather than give the kill to me....Riot support will NEVER look this closely at your game, at best they will glance at your 0/10/0 kda)

Sorry but you are not getting any sympathy here. The community will be much better without you here because it's one less person creating a toxic game for everyone else just because you are in a pissy mood

It won't be better. It will stay same as before. Don't blame me and don't insult. yes I did mistakes in the past, but this game always outdoing itself and always manages to provoke me.

Stop defend league of legends like it's ideal game. IT IS NOT IDEAL. It have huge flaws. I'm not saying that i'm ideal and positive guy that never flames, I did flame, and last two games after which i was banned, these two games were not toxic at all or negative. We had afk player, camille support without wards and midlaner flaming me for having 1-3-8 KDA.

I said that I will farm untill game ends since I see no reason to continue play in such toxic team that half-afk, half-flames eachother. For that I was banned. I didn't insult anyone in that game and I can't prove it now (sorry), since I deleted league already. My life will be better without League. Will be league better without me? I doubt, it will stay same. Just little bit more money in RIOT cash since they are fine with players creating new accounts.

I was banned for 14 days, then I played 2 games, which i didn't flame anyone, but just tried to calm other toxic people (without insulting or curse words), and other game where I just wen't farming untill 20 minute, since we had afk and troll-support. For these two games I jumped from 14-day ban to permanent ban. No chat restrictions, no additional warnings. RIOT is easy to give bans, since it will give them more money, but not in case with me. I'm done with this game that doesn't give any fun anymore. it's same scheme without any improvements.

Then you probably should focus more on the game and less on chat.

but try to understand: you will be banned too,

That has yet to be seen. I have yet to receive a chat restriction.

I won't do that 4th time, because for me, League of legends is toxic game.

Then you finally received the message Riot was trying to tell you. They don't want you in the game if you continue behaving poorly. It's not their fault that you didn't get the message until now.

maybe the way you tell ppl to calm down is offensive.

if you wish, you can post your logs here and we can dissect it and tell you what is and isn't allowed.

Also, the system knows how to filter out false reports. So just because you got reported, doesn't mean you'll get punished.

Chat logs? I feel like there could be a disconnect between how you express things and how you intend them to be heard... or a disconnect between the real reason you are banned vs the posted reason you are banned.
