Just some thoughts from an old league player

So i am permabanned from league of legends on this account. and really i have no complaints i was toxic... and was going through some hard times in life and had no filter on what i said. im sure everyone can relate to those moments.. and well they came alot more often than they should of due to stressful enviorments on league nad not having the maturity to just mute people and move on... and honestly everyone out there its not worth it to tell that 1 kid off who is feeding lol youre never going to see him again may aswell just mute him and try your best to win. but anyways.. ive played league since i think early season 2. always loved the game its always been a special part of my afternoon and has helped me get through alot of bullcrap in my life. and has honestly helped me mature and learn how to deal with people who arent cooperative. i think alot of people who are banned yes are indeed toxic but they are baited by alot of the community into what they say / do i mean you cant expect teenagers to all have the maturity to just drop it and move on especially when they feel passion for it. i recently read/watched some of tyler1's content and his rise to fame due to unbelievable levels of toxicity and just pure communication problems really makes me ask what people expect from a community where he is an idol.. just like the meta is shaped off the pro-scene i imagine alot is taken from high level players mentality and the way they act. i think riot is truly trying to make a pure community and its awesome.. but i question the execution of it.. i am by no means an intelligent person i just question why it is ok to be perma banned for lashing out when someone is trolling or baiting you passive agressively and in that moment maybe you are tired or maybe strait up drunk and lack the mental ability in that said moment to control what you are typing.. i have felt moments in this game where i feel so infuriated with the situation maybe noit even just player but the situation in general that i can no longer control what i type and right after i type it i feel uneasy about my words. its all just because we care about our game and community and when people are allowed to poison a game and waste that 30 mins before you have to goto work it can be a really attitude killer. really in all i learned alot from this game and i miss it and if i could come back to it you bet i would. Will the internet ever change? will people ever stop having moments where we lash out about something we care about? i dont think so.. we are all human.. i think the main thing is that we just try to be better than the day before. hahaha if you made it here xD thanks for reading :)

It seems like it would take less effort to yell at the screen rather than it would to type you had to actively choose to hit enter and start typing. Yelling at computer screens when you are mad is perfectly acceptable behavior.

If Riot accepted negative behavior as the result of negative behavior, then

  1. Riot would have to identify who "started" it.
  2. It could be an endless cycle, with one player being toxic and that encouraging another player to be toxic and so on.

Ultimately, there's no reason to be negative/toxic, regardless of the circumstances. In most situations that I can think of (as in every situation I can think of), it's best to just not type anything rather than argue with a teammate or verbally abuse an enemy. Is it too much that Riot wants players to use chat for positive experiences and/or game-related communication? :x Just some of my thoughts.

Lashing out once, twice... That won't get you permanently banned (unless the behavior was completely terrible). It's the pattern of behavior that results in people being banned. Riot says that they know most toxic games are the result of someone having a bad day/game. The system is designed to allow for reforming for that reason.

But if you're consistently having "bad days" that you get chat restricted once, twice... then temporarily banned... then permanently banned... Well, in that case, I think you might benefit from taking a long hard look on how you handle those situations. Perhaps you shouldn't log into League on those days if you can't control yourself, for instance.

Paragraphs. Use them.
