Scared as all hell after 14 Day Ban.

BlooYed·3/13/2019, 7:45:01 PM·5 votes·6,081 views

So as the title says I've been banned for 14 days. My account is a release Account, with like 2k spent on it overall, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. I'm beyond scared of having this account perma'd. I know that the stuff i've typed was more than enough to get me banned, after reading the rules (the first time in 10 years mind you). I'm not looking for my "sentence" to be cut short, but to make DAMN sure that this account has a clean slate from now on, so clean i could eat off it. Here is what i thought i might do, and i want y'all to give me input in what y'all think should be done. From now on my only way of communication will be (GG, GJ :), Go Drag, Secure baron vision, me split bot) and so on. In conjunction with me /muteall at the beginning of the game, regardless of flamers or not. I won't type anything else, I've never "ran it down" or fed in general so that won't be an issue. Is this enough to make SURE i won't get banned? Is not talking except bare necessities a SUREFIRE way to not get banned?

Here are my logs so you can take them apart.

Well to dispel any notions ot the contrary, you can't get banned for not communicating. It is completely okay to mute chat entirely if you think that's what it will take to keep out of trouble.

But have you thought of training yourself to respond to various aggrivating situations differently to avoid tilting and saying something you'll regret?

For example, say someone on your team is not being rude or anything, but they're performing pretty poorly. Does this always upset/annoy you? If you can, resist the urge to say something like "you're bad, uninstall" or other negative things. If you have to say something, just say "Try this [stuff], it might help you avoid difficult situations." If you are able to frame things constructively, the response you get will be better and less frustrating for both you and them, and then their performance might also actually improve.

Basically, berating your team mates for making a bad play etc. is never going to have a positive effect. It will just tilt both them and you and will probably make both you and them perform worse.

I've been where you are. 14 day suspension, went from honor 5 to honor locked hell.

I know I used to get crazy angry and frustrated and felt like "why me? why do I always get the flamers and morons and blah blah blah..."

Then I started watching pros on Twitch and Youtube and the common thing about all of them is that they are so calm and chill. And when they get stuck with the same type of players who are bad they aren't phased. They are just like "oh, I guess this guy is going to int, oh well, guess we have to try to carry." And that's it. Seriously. Because they are so calm they can stay in the moment and focus on the next objective or challenge or whatever and not get flamed out.

And the other thing i noticed is that they barely use chat anyway. Except to call plays or ask for farm "let me get big wave top" etc.

Because honestly dude? This is a video game. There are real problems out there in the world. People are dying. People are suffering. You get to play a kickass video game and in 2 hours none of the random summoners you are playing with are going to remember anything anyway. So just breathe and let the moment pass.

Also, have good snacks. I'm definitely more irritable if I'm hungry. And have a cold drink to sip when you're waiting to respawn. Sometimes the icy liquid can sort of zap your brain out of the burning rage. Seriously, try it.

And if you really wanna dig into your anger and why you rage you can google meditation or zen.

You definitely don't want to lose an account you have put so much time and money into.

Good luck on your journey.

PS -- I made a 2nd account while I waited for the 14 days. It was fun to level it up in the meantime.

You can do this. Stay humble.

I'm sorry the most scary part is you need to ask where the big issue is? EVERYTHING YOU SAID![sg-ahri-1] LMAO. Hell of course you got a 14 day ban. You already know what you need to do and that is stop talking seriously xD I tell everyone that it is pointless to yell at your team cause you cannot make them any better. So what is the point. They will listen or they won't and if they don't then you got what you need to know. And try your best to work around that. Though reading all that was extremely entertaining. [sg-miss-fortune]

Why did you put it in a google doc?

Couldn't you have just pasted the logs into the post?

If you know you're getting tilted, play something else for a bit. 3 inters in a row would piss off anyone, and starting a game already angry will only make things worse.

If I want to just break stuff, Lego games are good, kill stuff, solo in DCUO (FREE!). I personally can't do that in most multiplayer shooters because I suck and just get more frustrated waiting to respawn.

Or just get off the computer for a bit. It's amazing how much of a difference a simple change of scenary can make.

Hey, just remember to not flame. AND! NEVER. quote stuff like "kys" or any bannable words. This can get you permbanned. Good Luck bro!

Yes, good idea. Your plan sounds like it will work.

I received a 14 day ban a while back.

Let me tell you, it took me 8 months to get loot back and I have been honor level 2 for 2 years since it happened.

I am not the same player I once was. Just let it ride man. Some people are not good at the game and that's literally OK. It's up to skilled players to rise above the frustration and outplay the enemy. Who knows? That midlaner maybe got demoted at work. Maybe your negative Karthus jungle is being screamed at by their spouse every day and this is their release.

Look, I get that it's irritating. I get that throwers and trolls and inters RUIN a game you invest 25-60 minutes into (per rift). I get that it's ranked and you really FEEL those LP losses. They are still people.

Especially as a support main (we never get recognition regardless but i'm ok with that) it really sucks. But when I stopped tilting I started playing better. I was landing hooks, helping my jungle get solid, game-winning picks, I was roaming at better times for my mid laner.

I believe in you, because I've been there. I've said some extremely bad things to random people, and I paid for it. I even have some friendly conversations in All Chat and honestly that sense of friendly competition can sometimes make the game better. Nothing makes me smile more when a LB mid says "nice play naut" when I roam mid and we steamroll her 3v1.

YOU got this man. Be easy. ;)

Im in a similar boat however only chat restricted, looking to also make a change. what I have been doing is mute-all and no chatting what-so-ever. I stick to pings only; but more importantly I changed my play style to be more selfish because I know people dont always listen to pings so I really just gotta play my-way as bad as that might sound its whats working for me atm.

If you ever feel like bming just type a question mark, make sure you don’t argue if they give a reason

Was this your first punishment?

Baka Red3/14/2019, 1:46:44 PM1 votes

The way not get permanently suspended is pretty much what you wrote in the opening. Never be negative again in chat. Always play to win and never stop until a nexus goes boom (voting yes in forfeit vote is fine, but only stop playing once a nexus goes boom anyways). Positive chat use is encouraged, since it will help you recover your honor faster. But again; don't write even one line that someone might take negatively - just to be safe.

I hope you recover your honor and recover from your current 14-day suspension status back to chat penalty punishment ladder and from there back to no-punishment layer. However, even if you do recover, never means never.

why do people use phrases like "scared" or "anxious"

don't commit the crime, don't do the time. If you behave improperly don't be scared of future consequences, be prepared to accept them. This phrasing might work with your professor or teacher to give you an extension, but in the real world, the adjective you use to describe your situation is irrelevant. Are you really afraid of a ban bot on a free to play platform video game? If you are, maybe we should be really concerned for real-life problems that will approach us this century.

I personally have never been banned, but I try not to use the chat and I don't engage with people who are toxic to me.. I also mute people who are seemingly toxic ASAP, whether it be how they act to teammates or enemies. I always drop a gj or nice work, and I use pings correctly to convey a message, but don't overdo it!

And for out of game stuff, I love listening to some music so when I die I can sing along instead of thinking about how mad that death made me, or eat or something.

And remember, have fun! Worrying about how other people are playing / what they are saying is distracting, anxiety inducing, and stressful (and I would know, as a Soraka main) and letting others dictate how or who you want to play is ruining your fun, mute them! (As long as you're not trolling, lol)

If you want to take your /ignoreall another step further DELETE YOUR CHAT BOX. Anything remotely negative or arguatory can be considered toxicity under riot bots and since they stack and ultimately lead to a punishment you're just better off cutting all comms from the game. There's really no upside to having comms in the game since 99% of the time it's just people being toxic or pushing blame on others.

You can't do anything about griefers, trolls or afks so if you know those type of players get you pissed off it's better to remove the ability to chat at all rather then an on/off command. Plus you don't have to type everytime at the start of the game :)

Nothing wrong with venting, just say it out loud instead of in chat, or DM it to a friend whom won't report you.

Just whatever you do, do NOT continue to type it in-game.

Non-perma punishments get reset every season

Just play on a smurf until season 10, just in case

Then, in season 10, just don't type

BlooYed: why is every game cancer BlooYed: like actually cancer BlooYed: Open mid BlooYed: WHY DO I HAVE TOI PLAY THIS GAME BlooYed: yeah lets just afk BlooYed: im done BlooYed: are you serious you gnat? BlooYed: fucking monkey BlooYed: actually delusional BlooYed: imagine being irelia right now BlooYed: you just know hes like 13 BlooYed: ur actually brain damage BlooYed: Bg BlooYed: report nunu Post-Game: BlooYed: also report nunu BlooYed: ur a dog BlooYed: solo losing as syndra against that zoe is pathetic enough BlooYed: syndra are you too busy fighting with ur 3 brain cells to roam? BlooYed: go fuck yourself BlooYed: you mong BlooYed: why you gotta troll man BlooYed: thx man u fucked my lane BlooYed: usless BlooYed: dont speak BlooYed: trynd small head BlooYed: ur useless BlooYed: couldnt care less what you say BlooYed: so u troll BlooYed: big brain BlooYed: great call BlooYed: told u trynd got no idea BlooYed: nice 0 dmg build trynd BlooYed: didint do anything last 3 fights

All of this is problematic. The larger problem seems to be a desire to trash or insult or complain about your teammates consistently, which will earn punishments.

Does nobody know if the steps I've hypothesized to take are sufficient to not get banned? That was my question after all. [sg-janna]
