Riot,

As we all know this community can be toxic. I find it very petty of you to ban me for 25 games for defending myself.

My father died in April 2019 and my mother passed away last Saturday June 15th. Someone makes comments about my parents, as toxic players due.

I tell them I am reporting them, and I don't appreciate their behavior.

I get banned for it... nice.

Have you ever lost your parents in a span of a 2 month period? You seriously think its ok for people to joke about it... and then ban the person who is grieving over the loss of their parents?

Awesome job... you should probably educate your support staff...

Until you lose both your parents in a 2 month time-frame.... you have no idea what I am going through.

Really, GimmiMoar, flaming your teammates so bad that you get punished for the second time?

I'm sorry for your loss, but strangers on the internet don't know you. When someone insults you, you ignore them. You don't flame them back, thereby disrupting the game for the rest of the people who are not flaming you.

Bad things unfortunately happen, and they will continue to happen throughout all our lives. We still have to know how to behave.

I went through my own dark times yet not once did I ever feel the need to flame anyone else or get myself banned or punished. Just because someone says something to you, doesn't mean you have to respond. you have no obligation to "defend" yourself to people that you're 99% of the time never going to interact with again. I understand that it's tough dealing with that, but again, the onus is on YOU to control yourself. Nobody else is responsible for your behavior and using the death of your parents as an excuse is kind of outright offensive and I don't think that would be something they would be appreciative of (not speaking for them of course).

I'm sorry for your loss.

However, Riot doesn't know about your family history. Personal problems don't excuse poor behavior. Riot doesn't hold other people responsible for what you do. Responding to flaming teammates by flaming them back doesn't prevent you from seeing their continued flame, so it's not a defense.

First of all - I am sorry for your loss and wish you best for luck in the future. Losing one beloved person is hard enough but losing both of your parent in such a short amount of time must be especially difficult to handle. Hopefully you have caring people around you and get a lot of (professional) support.

But even if it may sounds rude to bring it up now: We all have our crosses to bear. That does not mean in any way that your feelings are less worth or invalid but rather a friendly reminder that not only you suffer. League of Legends has an incredibly huge playerbase with different kind of people - and probably also with a lot of sad stories behind it. You would like to be treated with enough respect and enjoying your game peacefully, wouldn't you? Then consider that your behaviour could possibly also ruined the game for your (not insulting) teammate(s). Maybe they wanted to play a chill game after dealing with a lot of shit in life, maybe they were just dudes trying to have fun - you can't know.

Riot doesn't know you - they may have a lot of private information about your person but besides that - nothing. When the automatic system reviews your chatlog - well, for it you are just player "GimmiMoar" who broke this or that rule. Riot doesn't approve the behaviour you had to face but they don't allow counter_flame_ (unsure if you really flamed due to pending chatlogs),

We can not allow to give player free-passes just because they deal with a tough situation. Some people could lie, abusing this system - making up wild stories to get sympathy and others could cross the line massively due to their uncontrolled frustrations. God, there are many possibilities how this new "rule" could lead to chaos.

League of Legends is well-known for its toxic community, therefore I would highly suggest that you start muting teammates as soon as they start showing negative signs or even at the beginning of the game till you are coming to term with the deaths.

Riots parents were just surrogates therefore they know nothing of a loss of a parent. Or human feelings for that matter. They're a bunch of npcs.

I think it's pretty pathetic and disgraceful to use your parents passing as a excuse. For your behavior and lifting your ban. You should of first morn then play league. You know what kinda scumbags are on League and you should know what kind are on this board. I hope they don't lift the ban cause this game is just going to screw your psych up more then it already is. So get off and go heal first.

My condolence may you heal and peace be with you.
