My entire team was feeding and being horrible. the other team was trash talking to me so i had to retaliate. they were calling me bad because i couldn't kill a fed zed. every one on my team kept trying to surrender but i wanted to make a comeback so 1 or 2 people left. i stayed and took my fair share of rude and mean comments towards me and i get out of the game and it tells me i have been banned for 14 days!! for a little bit of smack talk. hello its a competitive game... and when my team is horrible and they leave but i try my best and i get a ban. wtf kinda system in this.

"so i had to retaliate" - You did not have to do anything. You can easily type /mute @(champ name).

"i stayed and took my fair share of rude and mean comments towards me" because you failed to use the tools given to you (mute, ping mute) to prevent yourself from having to see those.

"a little bit of smack talk" - let's see your full chat logs provided in your reform card and we'll point out exactly where you went above and beyond "a little bit of smack talk".

@RiotTantram can you come and help explain to the OP why he was punished?

This is the type of guy that believes riot's system is perfect, but he'll be the first one screaming reported for int'ing when his jungler comes bot and dies while hes farming or the guy who spam pings when someone is taking "his farm". lol

What a great useless point to make that emphasizes you as a toxic player... Chermorg made valid points about easily avoiding the situation. There's no need to harass people for providing insight or facts

Crimson Burner1 votes

Play with him and find out then. When you do let me know. Normally the players who don't care about the game are the ones to say this. Because at the end of the day they're only playing casually. Btw you harassed me for providing my insight, so pray what you preach?

Chermorg1 votes

Yeah, Riot's system, built for the casual players, who make up a majority of the playerbase, is fine.

I'll admit I think it's fine. It gets toxic players who think this game is like a life or death sports championship every single game out.

Crimson Burner1 votes

So now just because we're competitive and you're not we're "toxic players who think this game is like a life or death sports championship". Not toxic at all

Nailington1 votes

It being a competitive game doesn't give you the right to trash talk

Crimson Burner2 votes

Actually, competitive games are built on trash talk, but this one wants to be competitive while using a casual system.

Please, enlighten me

Crimson Burner1 votes

So, why do you play competitive games, is it not to better yourself?

Nailington1 votes

Bettering myself doesn't require me to flame other players in the game

Crimson Burner1 votes

flaming doesnt equal trash talk just to let you know.

Crimson Burner1 votes

And tell me what is ranked queues for if its not to try your best to win? People put in 110% effort to carry a game, just to find a guy pissed off because he got camped and didn't ward so he's running it down mid. Not toxic at all he's just playing casually, right?

Nailington1 votes

Try to not twist peoples words to benefit you

Crimson Burner1 votes

Well let me ask you how many games of league have you played?

Nailington1 votes

Over 4000... Why?

Crimson Burner1 votes

Then you have half the experience, I have at this game when you play 10,000 games come back and talk to me. I have 3500 wins alone only in normals.

Nailington1 votes

Wins don't make you a better, more understanding person

Crimson Burner1 votes

Where did i say it makes me better? I just said it gives me more credibility as a player who's played twice as long as you have.

Nailington1 votes

Your attitude gives you less credibility

Crimson Burner1 votes

I've seen a majority of things and pinging and muting doesn't deal with all these, so you can't go around saying some bans are just for his telling a player he's bad if the guy is literally trolling him. The report system doesn't help the players who try to win because those are the ones who get angry from playing the game while they see a person trying to 1v5 or not using any logic or game knowledge at all while playing. All the player needs to say is "im lagging guys sorry" and run it down mid and the system it'll look more like he just had a bad game and wasn't intentionally feeding.

Chermorg1 votes

Flaming players doesn't deal with anything either, it just gets you banned.

Also, you're woefully incorrect about the intentional feeding. It's very accurate at punishing, and for borderline cases it flags them for manual review, where real humans look at the gameplay (not the chat) to determine.

Crimson Burner1 votes

Are you sure about that? Because i can prove that wrong.

Chermorg1 votes

You can't prove that wrong because it's not wrong. But go ahead, remember that nameshaming is not allowed so please edit out all the names so I can actually see it before a mod removes it.

Crimson Burner1 votes

did i use a name. Honestly i didnt pay attention then

Karunamon2 votes

You don't have to flame people to be competitive. Hell, competitive players on the LCS stage are fined and could have their careers ended for the kind of stuff that winds up on these boards.

It's just.. yknow.. thinking about what you type in the chat box. It's not hard.

Crimson Burner1 votes

Where did i say anything about flaming = competitive? That was our friend Nalington that compared the two. I just said muting and pinging doesn't stop trolls and its frustrating.

Chermorg1 votes

You're trying to say that OP's chat log shouldn't be punished because it was just due to this being a competitive game.

That opinion, while valid, is woefully inaccurate and not in line with the opinion of over 90% of the other players of this game.

Crimson Burner1 votes

show me where you got that 90% statistic from

Chermorg1 votes

The fact that Riot bases the community standards on what's acceptable by a majority of people.

Crimson Burner1 votes

really? because i never took a poll for this system tbh

Chermorg1 votes

The system is based on reports - if a certain behavior is reported in a large percentage of occurrences, Riot (and the IFS) deem it to be unsatisfactory and punishable.

Imperial Pandaa1 votes

Didn't they use the Tribunal to help establish the parameters initially and then adjust it periodically?

Nailington1 votes

That was years ago when the Tribunal was used... That was the parameters for the IFS that have now changed based on reports

Crimson Burner1 votes

did any of you take the poll tho?

Nailington1 votes

Last time I checked, we explained how the system is set up, which also excludes there being a poll...

Nailington1 votes

Enlighten me as to how I harrassed you

Crimson Burner1 votes

"What a great useless point to make that emphasizes you as a toxic player... Chermorg made valid points about easily avoiding the situation. There's no need to harass people for providing insight or facts" -Nalington

  1. Called my point completely useless, as such saying my opinion has no value.
  2. Called me a "toxic player"
Chermorg1 votes

No, he was saying that your point is useless. You are not stating your opinions, you are using fake facts to try and further your opinion as fact.

You're being toxic by being combative and not providing anything to support your claims.

Nailington2 votes

Your responses on this post have proved that you're toxic. Primarily agreeing with OP... Second, your opinion was meaningless, as it was written in attempt to degrade a poster who disagreed with you. Anything I forgot to prove you wrong about?

i know he is the prefect guy thats like "its ur fault for not using ur tools" its called trash talk. its a competitive game i dont understand how im getting banned for 14 days for 1 game of trash talk

Nailington1 votes

Probably racial or homophobic slurs, which I have a feeling you used... Post the chat logs so we can actually tell you why you have the ban instead of complaining about it and then trashing people that tell you hypotheticals

FghbSDRhRUJ351 votes

no none at all at worst i said stfu

Chermorg2 votes

Post the chat logs so we can see!

Lyndris1 votes

Wait, wait, i can use the champ name instead of the player name?

Chermorg1 votes

You have to include the @ if you're using the champ name, but yes.
