Banned for 2 weeks

Just a small rant. Offline from league for a couple days and come back to find I've received a 14 day suspension. Submitted a ticket for it as I had just gotten back my honor and rewards from previous bad behavior, which to be fair there's really nobody in this game who plays like a saint and if they do good on them, but the majority of players talk crap in chat so that really needs to be removed as a reason for banning players. In my opinion this whole chat ban for talking crap is ridiculous as it just compiles onto peoples unnecessary need for "safe spaces". Like if someone talks crap yea you can turn the other way but anyone with self respect is gonna respond in kind. Well that's my rant comment away and leave me them awful comments guys I'm fully expecting it xD.

Try to ignore any "awful comments" people drop here, just like negative chat in the game. They aren't helpful and aren't worth engaging.

I recommend posting the chat logs you received in your reform card, as it helps move the discussion along.

Well I would post the logs but there's no point. Like I said I know I was toxic by the games standards but not bad enough to get the banhammer when I have improved myself enough and haven't had any negative report/attitude in almost 2 months of gaming on league. Additionally I had just gotten my loot and honor privileges back which goes to speak for itself that no matter what I did there was no reason to get the banhammer.

The thing is, "Self Respect" doesn't win games. You could be doing something more relatable to the game such as accomplishing objectives, kills, and winning the game rather than typing to the toxic or offensive player. This game isn't the chatroom and no one pressed "Play" to see someone defend themselves or others from toxic players. So that's why arguing or any other retaliation is against the rules in League of Legends. Because no one is here to see the defense of everyone's internet pride. That's why you keep it to yourself, mute the player, play the game as it was intended, then deal with the player by reporting them.

True "self respect" doesn't win games and I agree that going for objectives does. My ban in this case involved me going after objectives and my team reporting me for not helping and being toxic in general, and I will admit I was toxic but nowhere near the levels that I have been when I first started playing which in all honesty that type of toxicity that I did back then should have gotten me banned but I have improved immensely. However, when you report somebody and you really see no change in the way the community is in general, because lets face it the league community has its good aspects but it's a literal waste dumb for all the toxic players you can imagine and nothing is really done from my perspective as a constant player for 4 years who has worked hard to improve my overall game play and overall attitude. And yea nobody pressed "play" to see this kind of thing however nobody cares either or they jump on the toxicity train as soon as it starts so it really makes no sense to have this retaliation to be against the rules especially when a premade team of four does nothing to help you win in the match and berates you when you're the only one who did anything towards the goal of winning the match. Sorry but I will have to agree to disagree with you.

And that's fine, you can disagree with me. But the point in the matter, players do care. That's why they report players and they get punished for it. The system was made for the players who pressed "Play" for the game and not the whole wall of text that really leads nothing but to a semi-afk player who's spending more time to confront who's either hurting their feelings, defending another player or simply just trying to get a reaction. The main point of my post is that it is simply against the rules to retaliate. I'm sorry that you had to experience this first hand, but for any player who truly cares about their account or the game in general, they'd take the time to research it and understand it. That is why I am a player of 8 years and I've had my rough ends in this game, but I learned and I've experienced it all.

Which brings me to my conclusion. There's no reason why you couldn't research and learn what's appropriate for ingame. As for nothing is being done for toxic players, you couldn't be more wrong. Out of all the games, I've played this company is the most evolved company in MobA history. I've been a DotA player since 2002 when it was on Frozen Thrones, we created a system on Frozen Thrones to ban players. Riot's system is incredible and taking more action I've ever seen from any game in general. But as for your ban, there's not much to say except you should have learned the rules. If you cared so much about improving your gaming experience, skills, and overall attitude, you would have learned and known how to avoid the ban. But you do get another chance, I'd take this time and learn it if I was you. Then maybe, your perceptive will be quite different and you'll know that a premade team is hardly a problem when you have them on mute. Then you'll be doing exactly what you intended to do when you (like all of us) pressed "Play" and try to win the game or move forward in trying.

Continue doing so and you'll be fine.

Players care agreed, but not enough of them care, and I know retaliation is wrong according to League never said that I didn't know that so its not a matter of looking it up. It's more of a matter of I disagree with Riot in general on the concept of basically taking a punch to the face and ignoring it. Yes people press play and don't expect to be in with this kind of thing but the fact of the matter is that it occurs and it's ridiculous to think that while there's a mute button only one person needs to hit it out of 10 people. If people don't want to see something there is a mute button and that is how it should be utilized, otherwise there really is almost no point to having the mute button. My thoughts are super jumbled in this comment but overall the system is flawed and has been for years in my experience. I have researched and looked into what is right and wrong per league but overall they are wrong for having a rule such as this.

Riot's system is far from flawed, but it your disagreement does not justify the fact you aren't responsible for your own action. You agreed to these terms before you even downloaded the game, so it IS your own responsibility. If you didn't like the Terms of Agreement, then I don't know why you're here. Because I agreed to these terms because I love Riot's Service and what rules they have set. That's why I am here, still playing and supporting Riot Games in full. But you're here disregarding the terms YOU agreed just blame Riot because you didn't uphold your end of the responsibility. No, Riot system is doing great. Better than I've ever seen. You just need to adjust to them like the rest of us and not become the 0.6% of the players who are permabanned. Because a 14-day ban is your last chance to adjust.

Again, you make statements that have no bearing, as I accept punishments for my behavior I just don't agree with them. Additionally I place blame on the system, which is created by Riot, because it is flawed. If it wasn't flawed there wouldn't be so many calls out to fix it from many more people than just me. Additionally like I stated in my initial comment I got this ban after good behavior and no actual recent negativity other than the matches that were listed in their report so just more proof to the flawed system. I try to improve myself but it does no good if the system itself shuts you down when you're really not being toxic in the amount that would require a ban.

Zombie GerbilNov 27, 20171 votes

My statement still stands for not knowing why you're here, and I still recommend you to control yourself on League Of Legends chatroom. We're done discussing it. I said what was needed and it bears its fact. Got a problem, then I also recommend you going to Riot support. Know you're on your last warning, do not retaliate, and do not go against Riot's Terms of Use that you agreed that wasn't flawed in the first place before you even downloaded the game. Good luck on the summoner's rift! Cya

ps: I'm done discussing this with you and not reading your next comment. Talk to riot bout your problems.

If you say shit like kys or your racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, etc, your asking to be banned. You have no right to do that. Don't be super toxic and type..no raging in chat. Keep it to yourself and you alone so you aren't spreading the tilt. Also this is a reason why you get banned and also hate speech is never ok. Im no sjw and infact I hate them but there's a line you don't cross.

xV3NIxNov 26, 20171 votes

Very true statements and I agree with them all. I'll admit I am a toxic player, working to improve it, but I don't do any of the things you listed as they are clearly not necessary no matter what. However after playing the game for four years and watching countless videos and playing multiple champions I can honestly say that I get tilted because people cheat in the game and there has been nothing done about it in four years of playing. I know that I am nowhere near the best player nor will I say that I am a good player. I understand the mechanics in the champions I utilize and the mechanics in a majority of champions in the game, however that does me no good when people are cheating and we are not allowed to call them out on it for it's toxic which is a complete load of crap.
