Being false reported and punished

2PermasDown12Go·Feb 5, 2018·1 votes·265 views

Why does League rely soley on an automatic ban system? It's EXTREMELY irritating for someone who's actively trying to be more behaved in their games to get punished because someone was louder than they were. I was called the F word, told I had downs syndrome, and insulted repeatedly and did nothing to warrant any reports. I doubt this will get seen by anyone important but I got a 25 game chat restriction for absolutely no reason after being ridiculed the entire game. Meanwhile I reported both the individuals and nothing came of it. Why rely solely on an algorithm that can easily be abused? ... (The AFK thing was obviously a joke meant to give a jab at us having died in lane..) And yeah, I mentioned the draven sucked and roamed but I ended up finishing the game positive..I have the entire VOD.. https://pastebin.com/Bn5QdFbr

Campaigning throughout the game for reports is harassment, so yeah, I can see getting chat restricted for this. The proper response to somebody using hate speech against you is to mute them, report them, and move on. Turning chat into a crusade against that person is a waste of everybody's time, and just escalates the distraction from the game that the other person initiated.

And while you may have been joking about going afk, many are not when they say that, and there's no good way to tell what your intent is when you say that in chat. It's a demoralizing and distracting thing to have your teammate say. Avoid doing so in the future.

He called me a %%%got, told me I had downs syndrome, told the entire enemy team and ours to report me. Over and over and over, he started making up stuff that didn't even happen in an attempt to get me banned for no reason. Although the chat is one-sided because you're only seeing my comms. I have the VOD, it's 20 minutes and I figured people wouldn't want to watch the whole thing. I'm trying really hard not to be toxic and to be a better player because I understand that being toxic is wrong. I'd be happy to upload the VOD to youtube or something as well if people want.

Also why is this guy allowed to use hate speech and campaign for my report throughout the game and not receive any punishment?

I accept that all to be true, doesn't mean what you did was right.

As I said above, the proper response is to mute them, report them, and move on. One dude screaming into the void is easy to ignore. When you instead engage and escalate the issue, involving the rest of your teammates, it can fuck up your team dynamic and tank your chances of actually winning the game.

Did you have any previous punishments?

On this account yes, but I'm not complaining about that. It's honestly just one 10 game chat restriction. (I deserved it.) But I'm being better.

It matters though. The system gives punishments depending on previous punishments except of extreme cases. You threaten to afk Call for Reports and Tell other players they suck, which isn't really an improvement. Watch Out only 1 Punishmentlevel before the permaban.

I honestly think this community in game is probably the most toxic I've ever dealt with in any game. I'll just /mute all every game. When I inevitably get perma banned again for absolutely no reason. (Like what happened to my first account when I was banned for inting in a game where I didn't int.) Honestly it's just so tilting to be punished for talking back to someone, but alright--I guess the solution is just to block communication.
