@Riot At this point I'm getting frightened to play games.

I recently took a 2-3 month hiatus from ranked (because of Preseason). My last ranked game I had dropped to the bottom of S3, meaning I was not doing too hot. During my break, I've gotten good enough where 50% or more of my games I am fed something around 10/2, and I am usually duoing with my other silver friend. When I go back to ranked at the start of season 6, there is a good chance I will do very well in those 10 promos.

This means my ranked game stats with go from playing solo and doing terrible to all of a sudden having 10/2 games with a duo. On top of that, I've had to reinstall java like 4 times (if that matters).

You see a new thread every day about people saying they were unfairly banned, and 90% of them did deserve it. But there are those threads that you know the ban was a mistake, you know that the person got flagged for something that the system misinterpreted. We all know that the system messes up, and it's even scarier that these people making those threads are saying that Riot won't respond or won't review the ban. That scares me. If I someone get flagged for something I didn't do, I'll lose my account. That's, like, 30 days (hour wise) of play and 50 bucks of money.

We need some sort of human protection. We need a safety net that if someone is banned for scripting, a Rioter will personally view the case and TELL the person what they did wrong. Because if that person didn't realize that some program they were using to record games is what got them banned, their next account is going to get flagged too.

Or we could just grow up as a community, stop tattleing on each other over stupid crap and then have riot actually focus on the people who deserve bans, like cheaters and scripters. But riot only cares about money, and thats why their game gets worse all the time.

If you were playing normals on the same account on the same computer you will play ranked then I don't believe there is going to be a problem, unlike, say, people who move around rather often and/or have more than one PC.

As for reason, yes, they should say instead of hiding behind "This information could compromise our infallible system!" steaming pile of bovine excrements.

Let's say, just for sake of argument, ten percent of the third party people who post here are unfairly banned. We only see a couple posts a week from people who bother posting. So only a small percentage of people post from those that get banned. From the MILLIONS that play.

I highly suggest never leaving the house. You may get struck by lightning.
