First of all, (hug).

I bet you aren't feeling very good right now. All that effort seemingly gone away for nothing, due to x y or z reasons. It isn't very fun and doesn't feel very fair. I would give you some chocolate to help you feel better were I beside you, but I am not, of which I apologize, and hope you find a source of chocolate soon.

Have you taken a visit to https://support.riotgames.com ? From here you'll be able to access the ticket system, where you will be able to submit a ticket regarding the crisis you are currently facing with the loss of your account! If you prefer, they are also available via the live chat feature, but that is available only during the day between certain hours (seems to start around 3pm central?). In doing this, you may be able to find out what has happened to make this ban happen. Sometimes bans are placed by mistake, and it only requires a little bit of investigation for Riot Support to help you determine if this is the case, and possibly get your account unbanned!

While you wait for a response, how about watching a movie? Something you haven't watched but have been meaning to, or something you've watched before but always makes you feel good! Or how about playing one of those games you've been meaning to get around to playing but haven't because League of Legends is so awesome? This is a perfect chance to do those things to help increase your happy!

Chances are, much of your playing has probably made you very stressful. Trying to get that kill but they get away with an inch of health, or your blue buff got stolen. Maybe someone afk'd 5 minutes into the game and you have to suffer through the rest of it, or maybe you're trying your best but players are putting you down left and right because you aren't playing perfectly. This may be a good time to sit and reflect on something very important: am I having fun? If you are playing league of legends and it is a joy every time you step into Summoners Rift or Aram, keep on playing to increase your joy! But, if you've gotten to a point where you step into a game thinking "I bet someone is going to afk, we needed a tank but they picked someone stupid, their matchup is wrong, they picked dumb summoners, I bet my support is an idiot, i'm tired of losing these games cuz of the people around me" you might be at a point where League of Legends is bringing you less happiness than you deserve. This may be your chance to take a break from something that is causing you more unhappy than you need in your life right now, and perhaps try newer and better things out there! This could even be the time to catch up on some book you've been meaning to read since forever, or a TV series you've been meaning to watch!

Don't take the banning as a personal attack against you, none of us dislike you and you are loved for who you are, try seeing it as a blessing! Just send your ticket to Riot Support and take a relaxing break. Bubble bath and chocolate! Maybe just lay out in the yard and watch the stars a bit. Breeze deeply and find your happy. :)

"none of us dislike you"

Idunno there's a LOT of people that come to this board specifically to sneer.

We've had how many threads directed at people trying to get honor 2 that were basically "get cancer and die - riot sanjuro?"

I'd like some chocolate please.

I got banned for 2 weeks 5 days before the season ends and 200 tokens away from buying prestige kaisa. The ban was justified, but this feels like the last 9 months of my life are just being thrown in the trash can. I usually get into arguements with people in soloq. I know it's a bad habit, but i feel like thats just what soloq is. If youre winning everythign is awesome and when you're losing its just 5 people trying to blame each other. I used 2 words i got so desensitized to (Due to the internet and my usage of them with friends) I did'nt even think of the possibility of a 2 week ban.

And now I sit here getting more and more depressed about not getting any of the things i worked hard for because I just had to respond to someones instigations.

And I can't even eat chocolate since I'm lactose intollerant.

I need a positive person like this in my life

Tahmis11/9/2018, 5:24:41 AM2 votes

First of all hugs back This is my first post on the boards so I'm happy to share it with y'all.

Thank you so much for this post. I suppose I'm going to vent a little bit, so If you'd like to hear a short story, if not, just ignore me. I got banned for MMR boosting, and it was justified. I had given up on getting to gold, I was sitting in Silver V in flex. one day I sat down and played some ranked, got on a win streak and hit Silver III. My only motivation had been Orianna, she is definitely my favorite midlaner and I felt like I had to have that skin.

As I got deeper into silver, my class work only piled on. that's when I sought a boost. My account hit gold on Halloween and I was ecstatic. I had started talking to a new potential partner, my account was gold for the first time and I was gonna get Victorious Orianna. I was overjoyed, I felt like this was finally my year. Although all ill gotten gains typically come back to haunt you.

The partner and I didn't work out and I got banned for MMR boosting, like this facade I had constructed just crashed down on me. This only goes to show that cheaters really don't win. I know it's what I deserve, I know the punishment was justified, but at the end of the day I still feel bad about it all. I don't even feel bad about not getting the skin, not being able to play until the 21st, I honestly feel bad because I feel like I let Riot and all the other summoner's down. I'm mad at myself for sinking low enough to get boosted. I never got angry, I never got mad at anyone aside from myself, I never felt any animosity towards Riot because deep down I know I don't deserve the rewards.

Now I'm to the point where I'm scared. I suppose its bound to happen when you hear the word "permaban" flying around in reference to your account. I'm scared I'll get banned if I play league on my computer at home because of different IP's, I'm scared If I do actually make it to gold I'll get banned for boosting when I didn't, I'm scared because Riot hasn't responded to my ticket yet about asking for reassurance that I won't be wrongfully permabanned. I'm hoping I'll naturally chill out soon enough, but until then, oh well.

As a final note, I'm writing this to all of the people out there that think boosting is worth it. It isn't. the anxiety of your account in someone else's hands, the fear of getting banned, the loss of money to pay for a boost. None of it is worth the skin, it won't make you a better player, and it is surely nothing to brag about. Thank you for reading this and thank you to everyone in the comments who kept it positive, its a quality we could all stand a little more of. I hope one day (well after the 21st lmao) that I can see you all again out there on the Rift.

Sometimes just a bit of caring and sympathy is all a person needs to feel better about their troubles! :)

While I don't know what to expect, I hope at least some players feel a little better after reading this.

Nope it's definitely all the tryhard , emote spamming, REAL TOXIC players that trigger everyone else. Your community is straight trash. The people retaliating against these players are almost always the ones to get punished but the real toxic ones don't. Your community is trash and your punishment system is also trash.

This. You also don't want to end up boosted into a group of players who out play you anyways, then you have to lose game after game to sink you back down where you are, which is never a good feeling (losing many many games in a row).

You should've published this post 3 years ago, to all the players that the no tolerance ban system punished for simply having a your worst game, after losing 20 times in a row, where people tell you to stop playing, writing you are USELESS.

And then, it back fires you, as you think this is the way to communicate in this game, and riot punishes you for getting tilted for playing this stupid game.

I got banned 1 month after the 2 week ban. I thought I got the 2 week ban for writing a lot because I wrote A LOT in this one game, but it was because I wrote "k y s". People writing this probebly thinking "this guy got no guilt wishing death for other players".

First of all, I started playing league before 5 years, I didn't really understood what's going on in this game and this feeling made it much funnier. I didn't really care if I lost oe won the match, didn't care about the META. I remember I played with my young brother duo top a lot. I didn't get a single punishment because I never got tilted from thedidne and I didn't care about ehat other people write to me.

But, after 3 years in hell (green arrow) I accomplished my dream and got up to plat3 in season 6. I was hard, but it was fun on the way. Then, the tilt and the rage became relevent. People complained about me trying new things in ranked. I played twice morde top and lost my lane. People just spammed "report murde for inting". It was so tilting those days. I DIDN'T WRITE ANY BAD WORD TO THEM. I just defended myself from their harrasment. Then I got the game where I went sivir adc with deathfire (if you know what is it) , I was tired and I joked with my teammates that we win with this rune in ranked. But that was one player that spammed "report sivir for trolling" and then I wrote my first "kys'. I never took it personally so I thought its ok to write it.

I thought it, now I think its terrible.

I feel regretfull for writing it to other people.

So I got my permanent ban for the same reason - I didn't understand that writing "k y s" is bad.

I was so furious those days thinking I lost all my progress for chating with other players in a VIDEO game.

The game I so loved, that I wanted to play all day, became a nightmare of flamers and trolls.

I tried to communicate with riot tons of times to unban my account. But I got nothing from it. I got the permanent ban before 1 year and 3 months.

I kept playing this game and reformed, I am dimond3 those days. I tried to prove to riot that I got reformed but they didn't give a damn. I still try to find ways to unban this account

What I want to say from this post is: don't think that riot will unban you so easily.

Is there a way to pin forum posts on my side? I just want to pin this to the top of my own list, doesn't have to be pinned for everyone.

DMmeswainnudes11/9/2018, 3:38:14 PM1 votes

I got a two week ban and asked them to investigate it but they avoided it by giving me a smiley face. O well. I don't care about the Oriana skin and I luckily grinded the KaiSa Prestige skin literally a DAY before I got banned. So I guess I am lucky in a way, I would be so mad if I got banned at 2400 tokens like some other people. That reaaaaally sucks. F.

But do you have any nice words for everyone crying about missed honor prizes because of last minute chat restrictions?
