@Riot behavior team; Zero to perma-ban, what is happening?
I went through a very traumatic ordeal and have seen other people talk about going through the same. These people and I have one thing in common; We were all toxic but were at zero punishment tier. Note the admission of guilt; None of these people (That I've seen) claimed to be innocent.... their argument was my argument, "I was never toxic enough to justify THIS " (Zero to perma-ban)
Although I doubt I will get a response, I want to know what is happening that players are being given the maximum sentence from zero, completely bypassing all punishment tiers and violating established protocol. This is extremely unorthodox and against Riot's precedent.... except in cases of ultra-toxic behavior , which neither these people nor I engaged in.
Ignore me if you like, it's not like you haven't done it before.... but I want to know if this has been a horrible oversight or if you intended to completely destroy your player's faith in you/your system in such a fashion.
Riot has said many times that going from zero to perma-ban is something that occurs a very small fraction of the time, out of a very small fraction of players that get perma banned. So we're talking about the 0.1% of the 0.1% ish, the worst of the worst.... SO WHY ARE MID-TO-LOW LEVEL TOXICITY PLAYERS BEING SUBJECTED TO IT? These perma-bans were done manually.... this was not a system error. Do you understand how atrocious that is?
I have no power, Riot has the power and can do whatever they want. But as a player that's been with them since season 1, this has shaken my loyalty against them more than anything else ever could. This was a very deep betrayal and the lack of explanation as to what happened is the equivalent of pouring salt on the wound. What happened? some people have said I am a "Riot fanboy" and a "Suck up"... maybe they were right because if someone had told me that Riot had perma-banned them from zero punishment level, I would have called them a liar. Even if they rescinded the order... well, more like reduced it to the second-worst level punishment tier (WTF?), that's still incredibly egregious.
I wanted to believe that it was a simple clerical error, but being told repeatedly that this was done purposefully by a Riot employee makes me seriously doubt their system, their employees and their company. What went wrong? what happened?
