Recently on ask Riot; This was asked.

> "What thing do you think Riot could improve that would go the furthest to creating a situation where the community trusts Riot again?"

The part you wanted to change and improve on was

> "...it can feel to players like we are ridiculously slow or lack a sense of urgency. We look dishonest if we change our mind in the face of new information."

Yet, I'm seeing a dozen cases recently pop up on this board over the last bit where support staff has 100% completely refused to do their job. I'm seeing a very common pattern of "We're always right" - and any follow-up response or inquiries will be closed without adding a single line of new constructive dialogue.

A player should not have to come to the forum to get enough upvotes before a Red pops in and says "Sorry, there was an error on our part"; isn't that what the support team is for? All while the actual support team refuses to even touch the case. A company shouldn't have to look bad before they fix a problem... especially when you're trying to currently fix that exact view on themselves.

Why should support have a dialogue with banned peeps?

You're banned make a new account, you know what you did.

This would be nice if it was 100% accurate. I for one know it isn't and innocent people are getting banned for something that they didn't do. The detection system that Riot is using is generating false positives. As for your second part, Tis hard to replace an account that you have put 5 + years into and alot of money over that time.

No, I've been on here awhile and I have barely seen anyone get their ban reversed. The guy that did was begging to god every day and creating horrible PR every single day so they just unbanned him, he still used banned programs self admitted.

The detection system has given false positives like twice and they immediately reversed the bans the first time asked within like 5 hours. Everyone screams false positive when a ban wave goes through, it's silly cause if there isn't a bug in the code, it works like virus definitions, not heuristics. There aren't false positives without a bug and I've seen like 2 bugs over the years.

There are 100 million players, it'd be impossible for everyone to get a support response.

Not all 100M are going to ask for a response??
