My friend was unfairly banned

BEN23695·May 9, 2019·1 votes·1,390 views

Me and my friends were playing a game and we were all doing bad, so the enemy team decided to start flaming our team. My friend responded to the flamers, but he didn't say anything extreme or offensive. He also got mad at our jungler (who was a random). The enemy team decided to report him and he got banned. Is there anything that can be done to get my friend un-banned? I know my friend was being toxic, but its LoL and this is like how 95% of the playerbase acts. (The previous sentence was written as a joke but people are taking it the wrong way, so I rewrote it). I know my friend was being toxic, but how come he gets banned for something players do every game. (and its not even that serious)

His chat logs: Game 1 Pre-Game YeezyPatrol: im reformed YeezyPatrol: chill In-Game YeezyPatrol: yi can you please stop power farming YeezyPatrol: it doesnt work YeezyPatrol: we really need help YeezyPatrol: jg diff YeezyPatrol: vi carried the bot lane kinda YeezyPatrol: but good job YeezyPatrol: idek YeezyPatrol: cant relate YeezyPatrol: idk why you guys are being so toxic but ok YeezyPatrol: like there is no need for it YeezyPatrol: i did i muted them cause they are annoying YeezyPatrol: Lmaooo YeezyPatrol: / YeezyPatrol: ?

Game 1 Pre-Game YeezyPatrol: im reformed YeezyPatrol: chill

Looking at the chatlogs, I disagree. Your friend talks way too much and that post-game chat is just disappointing. Not only "ez" (which itself points towards unsportsmanlike behaviour) but also bashing the Blitzcrank player.

I know my friend was being toxic, but its LoL and this is like how 95% of the playerbase acts.

So if a large portion of the population in your friend's area starts committing crimes your friend will join them? Each player is responsible for their own behaviour/actions.

Considering that they said "im reformed" means that they have been punished before so the ban was justified. Sorry.

They said "im reformed'" as a joke because they watch T1. He didn't say anything to offend anybody and saying something small like "ez" once isn't ban-able. Additionally, the enemy team was flaming my friend this entire time, saying things like "ez", "bad" and "?" whenever my friend died or misplayed. They were trying to get a response out of my friend. I do think that my friend should of just muted them and could of handled this in a better way, but that doesn't change the fact that he was banned for something as small as this, especially when the enemy team was acting much worse.

He didn't say anything to offend anybody

That's not what I read;

YeezyPatrol: lmao blitzcrank is insecure little girl YeezyPatrol: GG YeezyPatrol: ez YeezyPatrol: game YeezyPatrol: ez liife YeezyPatrol: toxic bro

I'd call that offending another player.

and saying something small like "ez" once isn't ban-able.

As I said, "ez" is unsportsmanlike behaviour. There are actually other competitive games out there that coded chatlines in that would display random "humiliating" sentences when someone typed "gg ez".

Additionally, the enemy team was flaming my friend this entire time, saying things like "ez", "bad" and "?" whenever my friend died or misplayed.

I do think that my friend should of just muted them and could of handled this in a better way, but that doesn't change the fact that he was banned for something as small as this, especially when the enemy team was acting much worse.

If other players are behaving poorly then mute them and report them after the game. It doesn't give you (generally used here, not aimed at you) the right to respond in a similar manner. They don't throw a ban at anyone casually. A player needs to be reported quite often in order to get hit by a ban (unless they're excessively toxic) and often they get other punishments first before getting hit by a 14 day (or even permanent) ban.

How long ago was his two week ban?

Judging by his lingo and mentality he should probably watch less Tyler1.

If 95% of people were trolls and inters, would you be like "why ban for trolling and inting? Everyone does it."?

There is a difference between being mad at another player for flaming and committing a ban-able offense. My friend didn't troll or int. Also, I said the community was toxic, not trollers/inters. If most of the community is toxic how come my friend gets banned while other people do the exact same thing and don't even get a slap on the wrist.
