What reason is there to play anymore after a 14-day suspension?

It takes literally ages to earn crafting again, you lose the ability to earn any season rewards...

What exactly is left at that point? The whole reason I was playing (and what got me worked up enough to even get myself banned in the first place) was to try and get myself up to at least gold to say I've achieved something and at least got somewhat close to where my friends are.

Now that I can't earn anything showing that I got to gold, what's the point of even trying? I've lost the goal I was aiming for, and I can't even fall back on just having fun since I have the pressure of not getting permanently banned over my head now.

I DO enjoy the game when I'm doing well, knowing that I'm making progress towards my set goal. Now that my goal is gone, though, any progress I make is completely moot.

It's just... I don't know.

Edit: Most of my grievances(?) have been resolved, so I don't feel so down anymore. I know what I need to do now, and hopefully I can get back to a good standing.

You don't actually lose Season rewards automatically for getting a 14 day ban, unless it was given for MMR Boosting. You lose them for getting banned within 3 months of the season ending, or having an active chat restriction when it does end. There is still reason for you to come back and keep playing, you just have to do so with a better attitude so it doesn't get bumped up to a permaban; I recommend Muting more liberally, as it's typically chat that sets people off and keeps them going.

Toxic is toxic. If you earned a ban then there are more important behavior goals you should focus on improving before you try your hand at ranked again.

...because the game is fun?

If you don't find the game fun to play just for the sake of the game (or can't find it fun because you're spending too much time watching your behavior), then maybe there isn't a good reason for you to keep playing.

Well maybe you shouldn't have been a toxic brat who made this game hell for other players in the first place.

Your account is literally at death's door by that point.

Also, just to make it clear, I'm not contesting my punishment since I know I deserved it. It's just that the idea of recovering my account to a point where it's not teetering on the edge of a cliff is extremely daunting.

I have to resist the urge to vent my short-comings in chat, with the knowledge that I've screwed myself out of any of the things that I'd made it my goal to earn.

The idea of earning things and actually feeling like I achieved something has always been both a strong motivator and a source of frustration for me.

So what exactly got you banned?

I'd find it highly unlikely you'll be banned from rewards (End of season, hextech, mastery tokens) forever. You probably need to get your account back into good standing in order to obtain those rewards.

Best of luck. Sincerely, enjoy your 14-day ban and find some ways to reduce your toxicity. The next punishment will be the permaban!
