Permanently banned from league -Alex is Bae UωU

Hello all,

None of you might know who I am, or care for that matter. I want to thank you for reading this post to start of, but I'd like to share my story about how I got permanently banned, and why I feel like I should have gotten punished but not gotten permanently banned.

So I got banned last week, I had an allright game, I was playing with my girlfriend and we were bot, I was playing Teemo (I was trying to get mastery level 5 on each champion so this is why I was playing Teemo), the enemy Adc player told me to and I quote "kys". I just told them thats not how you should talk concidering you will get banned for that, I used to be that amount of toxic but I had reformed from saying those words, and I would say them in Voice but I would not type them out not to ruin the experience off other players. I remind my own team and I said exactly this "Don't forget to report the enemy adc" "said "kys"" Now, this game we had a player who wasn't communicating and was playing not to well, but hey, it happens, i try to talk to the guy in a bit of a too agressive manner and after the game was over I got instantly banned.

Now most of you will be thinking "oh but he is just toxic so he got banned", as I said earlier I feel like I should have gotten punished. A chat restriction, yes, but a permanent ban? I feel like thats a bit much, so I make a Riot support ticket and I explain the situation on wich I got a response from a Riot support employee, who was very disrespectfull towards me, and made it seem like I was stupid. I respond to this, having worked in customer service myself, that no matter what you should always be respectfull to the person you respond to. Luckily I got another response from another employee that wasn't disrespectfull towards me. But they said there was absolutely nothing they could do.

I make another response saying I would like to have my account deleted and I get a link towards this reddit post. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/93636h/permanent_bans_only_being_lifted_in_na/e3ay0d8/

Now why is this so important to me, and thank you if you are still reading this.

I am currently 19 y/o I have been playing the game for around 4-5 years now, and I have spent a large sum of money on the game, the game ment alot to me and it was basically the reason that I was willing to go through, I have had a bad case of depression ever since I was 14 so league was always there for me. But now its gone. Just completely gone. I would like to end the post with saying if any riot employee's came across this post and were to look into my case and give me a final chance I would be really gratefull and it would mean literally everything to me.

My accounts summoner name is "Alex is Bae UωU".

Thank you for reading and I hope this might give some light to the situation and hopefully someone could help me out. :)

I think the support agent was being entirely truthful. There's not really much they can do and your only realistic option would be to continue filing support tickets or using the live chat in the hopes that someone will understand the context of the punishment.

However, I honestly wouldn't get your hopes up because the phrase "zero-tolerance language" means zero tolerance. All it takes is one report to trigger a game for automatic review, meaning you didn't have to repeat what the other person said.

I'm not saying I agree with you being punished for this, but there's not much anyone can do in this situation. If you have the full chat logs from that game, I'd like to see those if you'd be so kind as to share them here.

Thanks and good luck, hopefully you can get your account back.

Funny how everyone trusts the report and ban system of riot blindly. I don't know, if you deserve the ban, because these chat logs don't show context of the situation and what your teammates told you to trigger you this much. Merely an automatic algorithm decided to ban you, not a human, based on players who didn't like you, reporting you and the system finding certain words, or expressions that the devs consider as "negative". I think they should punish soft inting harder and flaming less, since soft inting wastes the time of 4 people and being toxic can be avoided by the teammates with the mute button.

You must of tried hard to get perm banned, I've been getting banned since season 1 and no perm so far lol. But as far as I know, saying kys is a perm ban. You just got unlucky man.

Yeah so after seeing your posted chat logs, you don't deserve anything other than a permaban. You use the R word, for one. Then you become Racist against the French and their language. Does your girlfriend support this kind of behavior?

Lol that symbol is like two legs and a pair of balls hanging between em.

Anyway, I actually started to feel a little bad for you until I read the chat log. You didnt get banned for repeating kys. You got banned for being a bully flaming people, calling them useless, r%%%%%ed, score shaming, etc...

Harassment is very bannable. You harassed the reksai for a bit. Just create a new account.

This was the context of my recently lifted, mind you, perma ban on my main! I typed the words "kys" into chat to explain to everyone what was being said to me and was banned. The rest of my chats that were reported on me was alot of ALL CAPS and telling people to stop feeding and they are bad.

Keep sumbitting tickets! The Riot team found that my perma was likely caused by the "zero tolerance" word filter and that my recent raging in all caps should've at worst been a 14 day ban, which is what it's on now instead of perma'd.
