How do they decide how to ban you?

falling sofas··1 votes·669 views

I just received my first ban ever for this comment in my game, " I don't see how being toxic towards me is going to help the game. If you want to continue to act like this I will not continue playing with you". We won the game, and the jungler got the enemy team to report me. The next game is said I was "toxic" my comment was asking an enemy jungler not to kill our dc'd jungler. He responded by saying this is ranked deal with it %%%got. I said that is reportable unsportsmanlike and verbal abuse. he said cry me a river bitch followed by the enemy support and top laner, who were his partners in dynamic que, flaming me as well. Then my adc started flaming me for dying I responded by saying that being toxic towards me wont help win the game and being childish will only set us behind even more as a team. Is this what the community is like now? I got reported by 4 people here and now Im banned for 14 days. Do I wait this out or try to talk to a support specialist and review this. Because I know it is machine operated to determine bans based on reports.

That is not how bans/reports work. multiple people reports counts just as much if just one single person reported you. Now if you were ban for toxic behavior common sense would tell you to post your chat logs if you want an honest discussion about it. Seeing how this is a 14 day ban you either had previous punishments before, or you were ban for a different reason. This would make sense especially if you didnt get chat logs, nor an email stating why you were ban.

I Receive chat logs when I open the client. But I haven't received an email yet.

If you post the logs, we might be able to assist you in determining why you were banned.

In general, I always recommend muting players, because the odds that they ever stop being asshats is astronomically small. Once they are muted, you never have to worry about being in a monkey-shit flinging competition

now Im banned for 14 days.

  1. Your next punishment, should you get one in the next 3 months so, will be a permaban, so be on your best behavior.
  2. One normally doesn't skip chat restrictions and go to bans unless it was for death threats/racism/homophobic statements. It doesn't matter if you were just quoting someone else, don't do it.

I think the permaban is on your account forever. I've had a 14 day ban and talked to Riot about it after 7 months have gone by and they still said my next punishment is permaban, so I don't think that first statement is true.

Other players have gotten messages that their standing has improved, there was a big post about it a while back. I'm not sure what your situation would be for it to be 7 months later and still be up for a permaban.

Punishments are handed out on a progression-based system.

10-game chat restriction. 25-game chat restriction. 2-week ban. Permanent ban.

You only receive a punishment if you show consistent negative behavior across multiple games. Showing a true reform effort over ~3 months time can allow you to go down a tier/level (i.e. 2-week ban to 25-game restriction). As DrCyanide said except for extreme cases (i.e. death threats, racist comments, etc.) you generally don't skip punishment tiers for a first offense. Ultimately though if you want help then post the entirety of your chat logs here.

you can skip punishment teirs, but its not a normal thing to happen ex: you get enough reports the chat restriction, but system doesnt automate the repsonse before the next load of reports come in. Your record shows increased levels of toxicity, since you hadnt reformed since the restriction(since it never happened) thus it skips the t2 restriction and goes staight to t3

It can also happen when you get a t3 ban, you come back to get banned instantly over a single report since you clearly ahvent reformed since the prior ban, the system isnt perfect. Open a support ticket to riot to ask for info about your case, they're ussualyl pretty helpful
