I was banned! (read if you were issued a 14 day ban!)

Endai·Jun 21, 2018·14 votes·10,535 views

First off, I want to say that I'm sorry to summoners TKP B1lly, Sink With Me, Reizen and 07 Dugi, and anyone else hit with a 14 day ban. Feel free to add me in game after your ban lifts.

I've been playing League since 2009 and I main fill. A few days ago I was hit with a 14 day ban for one game as well. I felt absolutely unjustly punished just like you all do now. I looked at my chat logs and said "What the hell riot? It comes to this?" So, I sent riot a support ticket and waited for a response. I honestly expected to get a riot bot response. Instead, I got a message from riot Iron Wing. They personally looked into my chat logs and game history (I'm assuming from many more than just the single game it said I got banned for) and undid my ban! Thank you again Iron Wing so much!

I try my absolute hardest to follow Summoner Code rule 9. First and foremost the game is about having fun! I can only assume you didn't remember the little warnings that pop up when you get reported. Those were your serious warnings from riot, even if you were reported unjustly. I read your chat logs, I agreed with your points. I thought the system was broken, but it's working perfectly fine. You said something you shouldn't have at some point one too many times, or you repeated one of the insta-ban words. I will never tilt again because I never want to see that "I understand" button again.

tl;dr: Player support looked into me and I was unbanned.

Edit: All it takes is one report to get investigated.

Game 1 Pre-Game Endai: oh fuck first pick Endai: Im first on the team Endai: Lets have fun. x) Endai: I've never done it. Endai: you too. Endai: Im in my promo games. I still need 4 more Endai: placement Endai: a loss sure doe Endai: does In-Game Endai: yw Endai: I queded and got adc Endai: I thought you were adc Endai: ok Endai: actually I was autofill protected Endai: and I main adc Endai: just went 8/0 with kog Endai: or 9 Endai: idk Endai: MY MIND'S TELLIN ME NO Endai: BUT MY BODY Endai: ITS TELLING ME YEAAAHHHHH Endai: this mf is a complete troll Endai: i muted mf and you should too Endai: im waiting Endai: mf has ardent caster lmao Endai: mf decided to throw when she queded Endai: idk why Endai: i need that pls Endai: can we talk about how I have more cs than jinx Endai: did mf say something to make hin rage? Endai: fim Endai: him Endai: Shame we could have won 5v5 Endai: Did MF say something to make him rage? Endai: gg wp. Endai: make sure you report mf Endai: pick a category Post-Game Endai: Make sure you report mf. Endai: I have more cs than you lmao. Endai: I'm 3-2 Endai: I really hope thye look into your matches mf. Endai: they

Riot Responce You really don't need to know what else was in the ticket as this gets the point across.

Also I just wanted to add that Chermorg is doing god's work. Thanks everyone, see you on the rift!

Normally I call out extreme toxicity, I show no remorse for it and you can see my history on it and other normal posters will say the same about me. While you did harass MF a slight bit, I feel like something is missing. I'll be forward with you, did you receive a 25-game chat restriction? Is this also your full chat-log? While it's not wise to ask for reports for MF, but I see that you recognize your mistake.

So I'll say this and this is from one beta player to another. Keep your head up high and don't let them get to you. Just mute them, man.

Good luck on the rift.

EndaiJun 21, 20182 votes

No I have never received any chat ban but I did get the "you're getting reported a little frequently" warnings.

Zombie GerbilJun 21, 20181 votes

Gotcha, well at least now you're aware and you see it. That's a rare thing for someone to see is recognizing their mistakes. Why I respect that of you. I hope you all the best in your return.

Well a nice post you have here but i extremly doubt riot would reverse my ban since it was hate speech and plenty of guys in coments told me even after it was reviewed by someone i would still get banned even tho i wasnt aware it was such an insulting word at the time :D Dont really know what more to say i just saw how you mentioned me in a post and now i feel nice and someone noticed me so i decided to leave a comment to thank you for improving my mood a bit ^^ Best of luck to you :D

Thank you! I hope that you're handling the suspension well. If you have an NA account we should play sometime! :D

Haha, well considering i am from eastern europe i would have very high ping. :D We could meet in the middle if you have an EUW account tho :D (i hope this sentence is gramatically correct and you understood me as english is not my first language obviously ^^)

How in the hell did this get banned. You were just declaring you would report the person. So instead of just banning the person, you get banned. This is a hilarious system.

Malum UnosJun 21, 20183 votes

riot let the foxes run the hen house, the games report system is broken.

big boi edriJun 21, 20183 votes

For future reference, 1 report is the same as 9. This should really be a loading screen tip as I can't count the times people asked to report someone. All that does is annoy everyone else.

I'm fairly certain when you leave the game and report someone, it flags an automated system to queue up a review of said game. When 5 other people report the same person in that game, all it does is cancel out as the game has already been flagged for review in regards to said person.

Praetor NotoriasJun 21, 20184 votes

I generally report people for asking for reports because it's toxic and verbal harassment.

AneirinJun 21, 20181 votes

It's pretty annoying too when you're on the other team. "pls report vlad" out of the blue with no explanation or proof, yeah no.

are you certain of this? if so then i should prolly stop saying "report afk player" ... :(

big boi edriJun 21, 20182 votes

Yes, a Rioter confirmed this on the boards some time ago. I don't recall the post though.

The latter part with how it works though, that isn't confirmed just my theory on how it would work (seems like the only plausible way). That said, as I stated above, they did confirm 1 report and 9 reports are no different, both scenarios would flag the system in the same way (not multiple times).

Sir PrepuziusJun 21, 20182 votes

interesting. it would be even more interesting with the chatlogs, and the response from the riot member

EndaiJun 21, 20181 votes

Am I allowed to post the response?

Sir PrepuziusJun 21, 20182 votes

{quoted}

Am I allowed to post the response?

yes, sure

regarding the logs you posted.. a ban out of the blue for that seems really harsh indeed.. i mean the only negative did you said was "make sure to report mf" and she was an obvious troll

i'm glad you restored your account and thanks for sharing your experience

For as far as I know riot is actually pretty good with reversing bans if they are wrong. They use the botted response when they feel the punishment is justified.

Malum UnosJun 21, 20181 votes

I was banned for 14 days and its unjust when you didn't harass someone, and you cant get a supervisor or any one else to chat with.

Kei143Jun 21, 20182 votes

If they reviewed your account and isn't reversing things, it means the punishment is justified. Even if a supervisor looks at it, it doesnt mean they will reverse the decision.

3TWarriorJun 21, 20181 votes

or, you know, it's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to deal with every case?

a rioter admitted that 10% of the playerbase has received some form of punishment and never been punished again, which wasn't particularly helpful because that also means that the unhealthy players could have found a way around the punishment system and also implied that there is one unhealthy player in every match

Kei143Jun 21, 20182 votes

Ummm...

The exact quote is "majority of the player base that get punished the first time don't reoffend again.

Riot's punishment has a 99% accuracy. So unless you can provide us with a quote of that 10%, I call BS on that and it didn't happen.

3TWarriorJun 21, 20181 votes

there are hundreds of posts a day with an inadequate search system

you are also making unrealistic expectations for a person to have bookmarked every conversation or discussion with "some" detail in it that could be later used

whatever post it was, they were trying to dispute the toxicity in the game as merely bad luck with a rough number from their database

TerozuJun 22, 20182 votes

Its not 99%, its 99.93% accuracy.

With a .07% chance of misjudgement.

And an actual ingame tip was like 87% of people who recieve a punishment are never punished again.

Eye Of TerrorJun 21, 20182 votes

Don't worry, we all know player behaviour team FUCKING SUCKS AND SHOULD GET FIRED!

Like ...that's 2 weeks ban worthy? WTF!

TheEvilQueen135Jun 21, 20181 votes

this should only be a 14 day if you've gotten a chat restriction if you ask me...light harassment so not great but still not worth straight 14...

YambrinZJun 21, 20181 votes

Try talking less. this is a pvp game not a chat room. talking that much is asking for people to report you because it can be very annoying to have someone who seems more worried about typing than winning.

EndaiJun 21, 20182 votes

I chat when I'm dead, pressing B and walking back to lane or after a big flashy teamplay where everyone is dead and I'm walking towards an objective.

EDIT: And a super low health Lee Sin kicked me under my tower and then hit me with a Sonic Wave. How can I not do the "My mind's telling me noooo" xD

Nea104Jun 21, 20181 votes

I don't know, of course it was a mistake. Still, they don't ban people swearing all the game, insulting, calling others "ret-". Even one "ky-" recently hasn't been punished, in my experience.

So, I don't relly get how their report system "works".

I kinda wanna see whats in the rest of the ticket now, im curious ASF. Post it XD

Shiki RyougiJun 21, 20181 votes

Why in the name of god do you have pre and postgame logs? Why were they not included when I requested my FULL records from Riot? Why are you playing with fire by withholding information from people who have a legal right to them Riot?

Nanolathe11Jun 21, 20181 votes

you had my heart when you said "i main fill". i thought i was the only one bless your soul you glorious human :)

Nanolathe11Jun 21, 20181 votes

im geunienly shocked that you got suspended for this chat log. we must be missing something cuz this is pretty much every single match you play.. but then you have games where someone is flamed and saying "kys" "uninstall the game" "ez win". in my opinion those are all wayyyy worse than anything youve said. ever notice how the ones that say ez after a game are usually like a zed mid that went 5/7/4. good job buddy

EndaiJun 22, 20181 votes

So, I just noticed a few things. 1) I'm definitely in some new sort of elo, the gameplay, champs picked and the general type of people I play with are different since my unban. There's a lot more toxicity in my games than I've had before. I mostly soloq norms.

And more importantly.

My honor is locked at level 0!? I already sent Iron Wing a message, and they said they fixed it but I'm still locked in at level 0. I was past my final checkpoint of 3, waiting for 4 and getting 70% more <3ggs than other players. I want my honor back ):<
