I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do?

Hi, I understand I've been quite toxic, and no I cannot deny it. I recently got a 2 week ban, and I would like to do anything in my power to get my account back up and running. I sometimes let my emotions get the better of me especially when a person tries to instigate things. I know my abusive language has wasted your moderators time, but if I could get my account back up and running again then that would really be great. I'm sorry for wasting your time, but if there's anything I can do to get my account back before the 2 weeks then that would really mean the world.

You were suppose to take the hint and change earlier, when you got the chat restrictions. Your only hope now is to really change, because after this ban is up your account is on the chopping block.

You will get no more warnings. One misstep and your account will be gone.

If you're getting fed up just say what you're thinking out loud, or talk it out with a friend after the game.

Like the previous poster said, no, you have to wait out the two weeks. I would suggest utilizing the mute button if someone tries to instigate things, it saves a lot of hassle. If needbe you can use the /muteall command too at the start of the game.... Feel free to say you are going to though. Some others suggest binding the chat "enter" key to a different button.

No. You don't deserve it. Learn from your mistakes and change unless you want a permanent ban the next time around.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Getting too involved in the game can make you emotional and sometimes loose control.

I haven't heard of Riot repealing 2-weeks bans, which fortunately is only temporary.

I know 2 weeks must been painfully long for someone who loves to play this game, but I'd suggest you take this chance to take a break from the league, and play something else, something mechanically different, MMORPG for example.

After taking breaks, you would loose your instinct on how to play the game, and every move you made has to be a conscious move as you relearn. You would have to focus more on gameplay instead of being distracted by emotion.

As for the future, if you do not want to take the risk of being banned, the simplest way is to avoid arguments, even when it's not your fault. In addition, if you see someone avoided an argument successfully, take notes on how they did it.

PS, I'm not a Rioter, and I didn't copy pasta my comments, if you are wondering.

you will have to wait out the 2 weeks. if you think the ban was unjust you can always contact the riot games support https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en. be really careful after the 2 weeks. the next punishment is a perma ban with no return.

I'm (almost) certain that the timer won't be reduced, so spend this time to think. I highly recommend disabling chat for the next 20 or so games, and, for the love of god, don't do anything that even remotely resembles trolling. Don't even go off-meta beyond a single item in anything but bots. That means absolutely no "supports" like Brand or Darius, no weird builds, nothing. You're at your last warning, basically, and any remotely valid report could very well get you banned for good.

My suggestion? Play a ton of Soraka . You're basically immune to reports as her, as long as you aren't actively flaming or trolling (so play the game, and play it right), and you're gonna have a pretty good winrate, as her.

Also, stay the hell out of ranked. It's far more tilting, and more people are going to report you for genuine mistakes. Avoid starting surrender votes, as well.

How is Brand not a legit support????????????????????

DuskDaUmbreonApr 26, 20171 votes

Because it's extremely tilting to both your team and the enemy team, and may end up in a report, even if you actually did nothing wrong.

HawckeyApr 26, 20171 votes

He's all skillshots???? Better than playing against a braindead Soraka that spams w for the entire laning phase, with no interaction at all

DuskDaUmbreonApr 26, 20171 votes

Soraka is a banana-load of utility, with some hard and soft CC in the mix. Soraka has a global heal. Brand only has some CC on a 3-hit passive, and KSes the entire match. Any ADC worth his bullets/arrows/orbs/bananas/boomerangs/knives/whatevers prefers a Soraka, who can save an entire team at once, to a crap, KS-only support like Miss Fortune or Brand.

HawckeyApr 26, 20171 votes

I'd rather take a brand as adc any day over a passive ass brain dead boring lane soraka, also you are literally bronze lol

DuskDaUmbreonApr 26, 20171 votes

{quoted}

also you are literally bronze lol

Ah, there it is. The end-all-be-all argument. I'm in a rank due to a lack of grinding, so I must have absolutely no idea how to play. The fact that I started the item 3508 on Ashe trend means nothing. The fact that I've figured out every champion basically on my own means nothing. The fact that I've brought tilted teammates off of tilt, and tilted enemies without being the slightest bit toxic means nothing. The fact that I've turned around games even pros would have gone "no fucking way am I touching this" at means nothing. An arbitrary placement, based off of nothing but the fact that I don't spend 10 hours a day grinding games out, means I have no mechanical knowledge and can't play the game at all.

I mean playing in bronze is basically like coop vs AI so even after 20 games u should be out of there if u don't belong there

DuskDaUmbreonApr 27, 20171 votes

20 games, huh?

Alright. Starting from the bottom…at bronze 5, 0 LP…

You can earn up to 25 LP per game, assuming your MMR is above your rank. That's a minimum of 4 matches to go from 0 to 100. It takes 2 wins to climb a division, and 3 to climb a tier. That means 45+24+3, or 20+8+3 (31) wins, at the absolute minimum, to escape.

Of course, that's assuming a 100% win rate, which requires you to be several ranks in skill above your current one. In order to 100% Bronze, you'd have to, at the minimum, be a Platinum 2 smurf. Since most people aren't, you can expect a maximum of a 65% win rate, assuming they're proficient in every role, and have perfect runes and masteries. I do not have the IP for runes (a lack of grinding), so you can expect a maximum of 55-60%, discounting things like an auto balance (Riot's way to prevent too-fast climbing) and bad luck. That means at least 44-45 wins for me to get out (actually works out to 43.4 and 44.95 wins, and discounts the discrepancy between wins and losses, but I'm in a bit of a hurry). That's over twice what you said it "should" take. Hell, even a perfect run would require over 50% more.

So you, sir, are not only a disgusting rank-shamer, but a liar as well.

On a probably related note, why is my comment calling you out on rank-shaming at a -1?

HawckeyApr 28, 20171 votes

lol you should realistically have a 120% win rate in bronze
