first chat ban ever (2 years of time played)

Enhanced Bot··2 votes·1,020 views

TL;DR - Do bans fade away and what do they make your account/you as a person look like?

So about a week ago I got my first chat ban ever out of the two years I've been playing this game. (Not only on this account, but on others I have just hit a stalemate and leveled a new one only to be placed in my real rank - the one i was in before lol ;P) but I got to thinking about it and I was wondering if these bans ever go away from record? Also do these make my account look bad? I feel like the ban information site does not really address any of these questions.

But on a side note I noticed that after my ban was finished I got a ban on receiving loot that didn't take long at all to go away. If I was more toxic would it have lasted longer? Or is it just because it is my first ban and it only took 5 games.

And lastly I'm not criticizing the ban system in any way, for I think its a great system ( that could use some work for instance if someone is running down mid just to troll and someone rages at them for ruining their game, the person who raged at the troller gets reported and banned, or if someone is outrageously toxic and somehow doesn't banned ) - I'm just asking a couple questions about the appearance of how bans look on the account and if they fade away over time.

Punishments work on a 4-tier system. Continuing to consistently display negative behavior after punishment will lead to the next tier, and extremely toxic behavior can result in skipping tiers, which are as follows;

  • 10 game chat restriction
  • 25 game chat restriction
  • 14 day account ban
  • Permanent account ban

While you do go up each time you're punished, you can fall back down the tier list by simply not being a negative/toxic player - it takes most players about 3 months of good behavior to drop down a tier. If you are banned near the end of the season or have an active chat restriction when it ends you will be ineligible for rewards, but other than that and the tier you're on there's not really any black marks against your account.

Typical Riot scamming.

Did you receive a reform card upon logging into your client? If you were banned by the automated Instant Feedback System you'll get more information about your ban there each time you log in, until the punishment ends.

If you did not get one it was likely a manual ban. Make sure the correct email is verified by going to your account on the top right of this page and clicking Settings. Also check your spam folder for the email. Once you've done that you can submit a Support Ticket and request more information.

People keep saying this, but I just don't think it so.

Had multiple accounts, had big breaks between (we are talking half a year) and punishments still went 1/2/3/4 every time.

You can't wait it out, you have to play games and show you've improved. 3 months is an average, not a rule; players that don't show they've improved because they are still being negative or just aren't playing will take longer.

So if I play well above average, say 10 hours a day... I should go down within a month?

Lies upon lies.
