Riot giving out 14 days bans like hotcakes

Draygen·Nov 22, 2017·1 votes·588 views

So, I was banned for 14 days due to my unsportsmanlike conduct. However, I feel that this was way too big of a punishment given what was said and what went on that game. My jungler starts the game off by putting me on tilt, flames me first, and then stays in my lane and starts farming my lane while I'm still able to hold it on my own. So I flame him in two messages, and it wasn't anything out of the ordinary flame that goes in on league. I also want to put this out there, I really dislike how are automated, there is no way a Riot employee had read what happened in that game. I do understand that I should be punished for what I said, but I think a 14 day ban is way too extreme

Let me help you out with what was wrong with your first post.

"My jungler.....

Your very first thing you do when describing the game is to blame another person for YOUR behavior. No one forced you to tilt. No one forced you to type anything into the computer.

You made ever decision. You are to blame

Riot should literally just do Permanent Chat restrictions on players instead of banning them.

The ban system is so sensitive now, that it is ridiculous. And it truly does look like it promotes banning just to force new accounts.

They tried this, it failed miserably. Folks just inted or otherwise trolled instead.

If you don't post your chat logs we cannot help you. There is no way of knowing for certain what was said or judging if you were actually not in the wrong.

Depending on what was said in-game your ban may have been unjust or possibly more than just.

Also please keep in mind that if you received a 14-day ban recently then you are treated like someone on probation. Any negative behavior at all, even more minor stuff, can result in escalation to the final tier of punishment.

And again, I don't deserve to get off the hook as I did call him a %%%. But a 14 day ban for my first ever offence?

You used hate speech which you admit to knowing is unacceptable. Riot takes an extremely strong stance against any forms of hate speech (racist, sexist, homophobic) or telling others to kill themselves. You shouldn't need a "warning" chat restriction to know it's unacceptable - hence why you skip directly to 14 day ban.

I find that extremely hard to believe considering hate speech merits an instant 14 day ban in all but the extremely rarest of situations. I would be happy to be proven wrong, however, if you could show the support response?

proof?

First of all post your chat logs, while you might be a trustworthy player history tells us that we shouldn't take your word that you weren't bad.

Second of all did you have chat restrictions prior to this?

Game 1 Draygen: new champ illumanti af Draygen: dat 666 Draygen: you fuck Draygen: my fucking cat gets on my damn comp and you think you should kill me Draygen: wow Draygen: you missed everything Draygen: ok shit jungler Draygen: next time you gank land 1 ability or auto attack and dont get wrecked again Draygen: didnt need it anyway %%% Draygen: report kayn, already extremely toxic 9 mins in and refuses to gank and calls me a %%%got Draygen: cannot stand kids like him Draygen: yeah ? all you want Draygen: sej top Draygen: mad sona? Draygen: why does support hjave 5 kills Draygen: gg

Before y'all say I deserve this 14 day ban let me give you the rest of the context of this game. When I said "you fuck" I was talking to the Zoe who knew I was being sarcastic, and she was a good sport. It was at that time Kayn said I was intenting and telling me how bad of a player I was, then proceeds to blame me for the unsuccessful gank and then continues to flame me. The game was then silent from 9 minutes to about 22 minutes when Sona flames me for getting caught, typing in all caps and just like Kayn was telling me how much of a shitty player I am. And I responded with just a "mad sona?" And again, I don't deserve to get off the hook as I did call him a %%%. But a 14 day ban for my first ever offence? I've never been banned or chat restricted and I've been playing since season 3.

I'm not entirely sure what was said here.

Draygen: didnt need it anyway %%%

But if Riot has censored it chances are that it's not anything appropriate.

If you truly believe that this is a wrongful band contact support about it nicely.

You may not think it, but these logs are rather on the extreme side of toxic.

I've memorized the Summoners code. You want to take a look at number nine on your account protection page where it says to lead by example. This was a bad example you set. It was also highly inflammatory. Sorry but it was a just ban. Stay out of chat if this happens again. You are on high alert, and the next step is a permanent ban if you are justifiably reported again.

In response to the thread title, you are correct. They are handing out bans like hotcakes and I feel this is a good thing.

DraygenNov 22, 20171 votes

Well I do in fact disagree. given the fact that you have no insight other than what I said by my teammates which was far more severe than what I said or did. I get the feeling that you support the idea of being a complete push over. So nowadays in 2017 when someone bullies you you should just let them and say nothing back. If that's how you handle your business keep doing you. However if someone is infringing on me first, I feel that I have every right to talk smack right back to someone instigating a fight. However over the internet, we've all become so sensitive and feelings get hurt without anything extreme being said. Let me ask you this, if someone came up to you and started calling you a dumbass %%%got would you do anything about it?

XurrealNov 24, 20171 votes

I'm no pushover.

You took the crap someone gave you the wrong way.

I take satisfaction in knowing I know how to not tilt over what someone says in /all chat.

The best thing to do is imagine that they are just a child in the mouth trying to beef with you and just find a way to carry that guy.

If you can't, you tried, but you're definitely reporting him after the game instead of trying to see more of what they have in the arsenal.

The way I see it, if you win you did good, if you lose, at least YOU can say you were committed to something other than a petty arguement with someone you're never going to follow up on again. Who knows, you might even get that guy his justice.

The WAY you prove you're not a pushover matters more.

Zero-tolerance policy. Homophobia skips punishment tiers to 14-day ban.

I'm disappointed at the lack of Oprah gifs.

If they flame you, report them. If you flame back, they can report you as well. And either you said trigger words or got chat banned before.

If you feel you were wrongfully punished, then post your chat logs.

While you might feel your punishment is unfair, the punishment system works off of severity and frequency. If you've had a 25 game chat restriction, then a 2 week ban was the next step. If you insulted a player with hate speech or told someone to commit suicide, then you're usually given a 2 week punishment regardless of your history.
