Permanent Bans

MisterBlack·4/25/2017, 2:23:35 PM·1 votes·1,017 views

After playing this game for 4 years and spending probably 400$ supporting it. (I know it's a lot) I have been permanently banned. I was banned for being toxic. Here's how I read the system was supposed to work just now. You get chat bans, 14 day, perma ban. I went straight to a perma ban, although I tried to reform, I showed good behavior for more than 2 weeks still didn't say I reform. I played a game yesterday with friends and the enemy team was flaming. I counter flamed because they were being so toxic and I get reported. Although they never got reported or banned which made no sense at all. They reported me for THEM being toxic and since I was COUNTER FLAMING. I was going to mute all chat after that game and when I was starting another I was notified I was banned for being toxic. Me and my friends were really confused and I really want to know if it is possible to get my account back like I will literally do anything. Mute chat on my account for 100 games I don't care because if that's the problem and how I need to reform do it. I've played this game for almost 4 years and have spent so much money supporting and this is how they treat players who have had the SAME behavior ever since they started and their broken system bans people. Tell me if there's anything I can do and thanks <3

I showed good behavior for more than 2 weeks still didn't say I reform

You're supposed to "show" good behaviour the entire time. You're supposed to abide by the rules you accept every single patch. You were already banned for 2 weeks. When you got that ban it said that any further violation of the ToU will result in a permanent ban. Did you just assume that not flaming like a child for 2 weeks is going to safe you from a permanent ban?

hey reported me for THEM being toxic and since I was COUNTER FLAMING

It doesn't matter what they did. You were flaming. You were reported for flaming. And you were banned for flaming. Completely justified ban

I was going to mute all chat after that game

Should have muted it after your first chat restriction. Or after the second one. Or after the 14 day-ban.

I really want to know if it is possible to get my account back

No. You got 3 punishments and a 4th chance. And you still blew it. You won't be getting this account back.

Tell me if there's anything I can do and thanks <3

You can start a new account and try again. That's your only option

Well maybe YOU should've reported THEM.

As well as muted, disabled all chat, or ignored them. You flamed back, you were toxic after coming off a 2 week ban. Any punishment afterwards goes straight to a perma ban. Your own fault, ban deserved.

Also, Riot doesn't care how much money you spend. Buying RP doesn't exempt you from their rules.

'Counter flaming' isn't a thing, you're either flaming someone or you're not. If someone is doing it to you, ignore them and play the game. You had a 14 day suspension before, you needed to just start ignoring people and if they're that bad just report them. Nothing comes from doing the same back to them, it only serves to potentially get you in trouble and make it more likely that you'll annoy your teammates and get reported as well.

You should contact support. Flaming is never acceptable in a game.

If it's straight to a permanent ban with no prior repercussions, this is usually when hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. are involved. Permanent bans are usually Riot's way of saying "go play something else" by trying to weed out continuous trouble-makers. I'd recommend posting the chat logs so the community can attempt to assist you. Without them, it's hard to weigh judgment on your actions. Ultimately, it is you in which the responsibility lies to mute and/or report individuals that are toxic, without being toxic yourself. I know it sucks and doesn't really give much room to defend yourself without being at risk on your own, but it's the best system we have and usually works very well. You're always welcome to put a ticket in to Support as well, as there have been numerous occasions where individuals have been unbanned due to a failure in the automated system, but they generally will do a very thorough review.

Also I know it's all my fault but I want to know if there is any other way to reform

You don't deserve it. Case closed.

What was the last punishment you had, and when? I ask because saying "I went straight to a permaban" implies you never had another punishment prior to that, but then you also talk about trying to reform and having been good for 2 weeks or something like that. It's a little confusing.

Regardless, you should have known better than to flame back at the other team if you were actively trying to reform. Especially in a case where it's the other team being dicks in all chat, there's zero excuse for not muting them immediately and getting on with the game. There is no situation where continued communication with the other team is critical.

Regarding punishments to them, there's no way to know what their status is. They reported you when you had flamed, and you got punished. You complain that they were never reported for that game. That's your own fault if you neglected to report them for that game... But even if you (or somebody else on the team) had, that doesn't guarantee that those people were on the verge of a punishment at that very moment, and a report from that one game would push them over the edge.

I remember there was a case of a person who got his account back after having reformed on a secondary account.

so maybe you contact rito support and ask for that?

regardless there's no such thing as 'counter flaming'. put simply: 'he did it first' is not a legitimate argument.
