I am a competitive person. I've never trolled or AFKed in a match. I may have gotten passive aggressive at times, but is that really worth a perma ban? I never say hateful speech to other summoners. I literally try to win every match. Idk why they won't show me the logs. I don't know what to do right now or who to talk to. I feel so helpless.

I had the exact same experience. I went from 0 to 2-week ban, when I inquired to rito about the two week ban thru a ticket they converted it to a perma ban.

This has embittered me. I haven't played a match in two weeks now, even though I have 2 remaining active accounts. If I do decide to play on those accounts, I'm pretty sure it will be ranked matches and I'll be in it to provoke others into getting banned too. This game is toxic by design. I used to enjoy it, but when players are clearly in it to abuse the punishment system and get others in trouble, it's time to bail out of this sinking ship.

Now this is a pile of bullshit and is everything wrong with the behavior system

I think it's fucked up that they tell you it's for intentionally AFKING or trolling, but since you say you never do that, everyone believes you and says riot is full of shit. I'm sorry but I can't just take your word for it. It wasn't for toxicity... it's cuz you afk consistently apparently. I could be wrong, but I don't know you and I doubt riot would ban people for no reason. There's just no reason for that. If you really never AFK, yet they ban you after 2 two-week suspensions, I would be shocked. But I've never seen proof of that, just people upset over their bans, willing to say anything to be the victim.

Did you get any email? Is there a specific year code? (Like, banned till 2100, or 2222, or so on and so forth)

Though I am sure that OP was most likely toxic and deserved his punishment. I will state that being punished even more for speaking out against an "All powerful" system is legitimately terrifying to me.

I have never been banned or chat restricted but when I do here cases like this where someones punishment was escalated simply because they sent in a support ticket asking for their case to be looked at I feel we begin to stir away from a community run system to one of total monarchy to even dictatorship, which isn't all that unrealistic seeing as Riot does have the final stay.

In the end what I'm trying to say is, Toxic people should be banned yes, but to have them punished even harder for simply asking why is a legitimate concern to me as a regular community member and I don;t really support it.

Well, if they didn't give you chat logs, what did they say? I've got nothing to go on.

After being toxic, you dare complain about getting banned? No, you shouldnt get a perma-ban, for you are only innocent. . . You are always innocent.
