It's possible to reform

After being banned many times. I finally had an account long enough to make it to Gold 1 then it also caught a ban. I did some serious self reflecting one day, as I also do yoga and meditation during the week after work. I thought to myself.. Holy shit. My actions have really impacted alot of different people i've never met before.

Words do have effects on people. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will hurt forever" I'm taking some time to think and I too can also remember even from years back certain people who were toxic to me in game. It didn't feel good to be on the receiving end of that.

Yes, we are all going to have bad games. Yes someone will not measure up to your own performance. But in the end, we are all real people! We like to call each other but character names like "trundle" or "mf" but we often forget these people are just like yourself.

FINALLY! After my last account ban, last season I was able to create this account, go through the motions and ended the season WITH HONOR 5. I couldn't believe it. Someone like me getting honor 5? That's unheard of. I simply just kept reminding myself, they are people like myself. The words I type in game could impact them negatively at some point. There is already a lot of bad in the world and I do not want to contribute to that.

If I feel myself getting irritated, I see the warning signs and stop playing for a whole day. I go to sleep, go to work, go to the gym, do yoga and meditation and come home feeling refreshed. I get a few games in AND USUALLY I don't go on losing streaks. I actually win most of my games believe it or not you can check my win rate.

It's all about your attitude. That makes a difference on how well you play. Just remember this next time you're having a bad game or you start flaming your teammates because they are supposedly "Feeding". "Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always."

At the end of the day, it's just a game. Share your 30-40 minutes in peace with your opponents and teammates and you'll do alright.

Not sure if League promotes it, though. With the new honor system, if you fall down to honor 0, you may be in there for at least 3 months (And that, is with a lot, and I mean a lot, of honors, maybe around 2-3 each game, even 4 occasionally)

Not trying to disrupt you, but you're just doing an effort to not lose the account.

You haven't changed, you're most likely getting perma'd again. It's just, perhaps you had enough for now and you just wanna play.. But you'll come back to your behaviors, probably.

If you're in that 5% that makes it, congrats.
