Appealing a Permaban (First Offense, no prior punishments)
Hi all,
I just want to first of all, admit that YES I WAS TOXIC and I understand why I was punished. However, I want to point out that, as the title states, I was not given any chat restrictions, warnings, or bans prior to this incident, so I find it extremely unreasonable that my account automatically escalated into a permaban status. To go into detail of the incident:
My reform card only details a single game and nothing more; I'll add an imgur link for those curious. Two main points regarding the game:
-
I was a SOLO QUEUE player grouped in with a 4-MAN QUEUE who were just as, if not more, toxic than me during the game and assume that they all reported me as a group; by toxic, I mean toxic to me specifically. I understand that I'm judged for my own actions and not theirs, however, I don't think that it is right to escalate a punishment to a permaban when they antagonized and harassed me all game via all-chat and excessive pinging to the extent that I TURNED OFF /MUTEALL TO DEFEND MYSELF IN ALL-CHAT. I clearly shouldn't have done this, but at this point, the 4-man queue had made me extremely upset/tilted.
-
Detailing the all-chat experience, there are very certain phrases in my chat-log, namely, "I'm autistic" and "I'll run down mid" (I didn't actually run down mid fyi) which were said by me sarcastically as a result of my team, namely a Janna and a Shyvana, calling me autistic and telling me to run down mid because a 4v5 experience without me would make it that much of a better game. Again, I want to reiterate that I should've kept them on /muteall but when the enemy team gets to hear the amount of degrading comments made towards me, I felt the need to defend myself. Obviously, their chat-log is not available and it is entirely your choice whether or not to believe what I say. Hopefully, Riot can review my case and affirm what I'm saying.
With all this being said, I want appeal my permanent ban to a lighter punishment. Even a 14-day ban will do. Again, I admit that I was toxic, but I think that a single toxic game against a 4-man queue ganging up on me does NOT warrant a permanent ban, given no prior warnings or restrictions.
I've sincerely learned my lesson from this experience and do not want my experience as a League player to be cut short because of a single game. As with many others previously in my position, I've put way too much time, effort, and money into this account to just give up now. It is really upsetting and frustrating to see that, even after reporting the entire 4-man queue, they all get away scott-free (none of them received punishments) for their comments and I, as a player with no previous punishments, get the ban hammer with the snap of a finger.
EDIT: @Riot, please respond to this thread and review my case. Although what I said was indeed egregious, I don't feel that it warrants a zero-to-permaban status. I give permission for you to release any pertinent information here and communicate with me through this thread if necessary.
