Banned - no reason

Ryba PhD·Mar 2, 2019·1 votes·2,244 views

I was banned from league for the first time in 6 years of playing at the diamond level. I was reported by a player named 'toxic'. I was banned for a full 14 days from this. I had the most damage to objectives, the earned us the first drake, first kill, and first tower, and the rift hearld as a jungler. I was playing with a duo it was a 40 minute game that we lost and I apparently had a ban-worthy presentation although i played very strong and generally do not talk much in game.

Having now watched the replay, it looks very much like intentional soft feeding. For someone who claims to be able to play at Diamond+ you're often woefully out of position when alone and behind and sometimes run past your team to be so. If this is not intentional, send a ticket to Player Support, but understand that this definitely looks like you're intentionally trying to throw the game while flying under the radar.

You don't need to apologize to me! I'm simply saying that your behavior makes it look intentional, and so I can see why the system hit you, whether intentional on your part or not.

I guess theres no reason in us discussing further. I know I played for fun and that riot thought it appropriate to make a 14 day ban for a 5 honor, always kind player.

Do you have your chat logs, or was the ban for intentionally feeding? Because looking at your history you have a 1/16/9 Sivir game, a 1/11/2 Sion game, a 0/17/6 Nunu game, and a few others that make me a bit suspicious.

I also had very high participation in objectives in those games and was NOT toxic. I did nothing to warrant a 14 day ban. I didn't name the exact name of the player, but that what the name implies. LET ME KNOW if that isn't clear. It was for intentional feeding, not chat misbehavior. What else can I provide?

There was no accompanying email or support. It sent a link to a specific game that my team lost that I contributed to and attempted to win. I do not see cause of the ban for 14 days.

Umbral RegentMar 2, 20192 votes

It sent a link to a specific game...

And could you link that game here? 'Cause there's nothing we can reasonably say about the punishment without seeing the game you were punished for.

Okay, we finally know that you were banned for intentional feeding. Let's check your match history and op.gg

Annnnnnd yeah, there is something ridiculously wrong with your recent match history. op.gg shows that you've been Diamond since season 4, but your demonstrated skill level in no way reflects that. I suspect that the ban for intentional feeding is incorrect, and instead the correct action should have been to ban you outright as this is blatantly not your account, or at the very least you had it unlawfully boosted to Diamond rank.

You're saying I should be banned based on our assumptions based on match stats? My history is diamond, that is a fact and not open to any contest. I have also been the #1 ranked nunu NA at multiple points. I played the same way I've always played and nothing justifies the ban.

Jo0oMar 2, 20194 votes

How's this for stats: After four seasons of being in Diamond, you're currently Gold 3 with a 33% win rate and rapidly dropping. I can't fathom that change in skill level.

I believe every word out of your mouth is a lie. I may not be able to identify precisely which avenue of cheating you're engaging in, but the only reasonable explanations for your recent match stats are that you're cheating, account sharing, boosting, or just inting.

Feel free to make a support ticket and try for a more sympathetic ear, but I'm pretty sure you won't find one.

There is no evidence of any of that FOR SURE. LOL. I'm still the same person playing the same game. I have played against pro's on this account, yes. Do I deserve a ban for losing a game in gold?

Incorrect. I have not bought the account and I am not trolling. I play the game for fun and now riot has banned 14 days without cause other that 'bad stats' in my recent history. I'll try to play 'better' but bad games do happen and I am a kind player.

whatever, this is like talking to a rock. you know what you did.

non-trolling players don't go 1/16 1/11 0/17 in multiple games back-to-back

idk if you think we're stupid? c'mon

I had a bad game - i didn't realize bad stats were reportable. I've also won with those stats.

You've lost 11 games in a row, in Gold despite being a Diamond player, with pathetic stats. You're very clearly not the person who reached Diamond on this account. Riot's mistake was not banning you outright for this.

No public evidence does not mean no evidence.

As JooO said, there is more than enough evidence you have violated some rule. Just because we can't pinpoint whether it is boosting (followed by you playing bad) or intentionally griefing/feeding doesn't change the fact that both of those are bad.

The stats are actually pretty against this -- you dealt only 9k damage to champions (vs. your team's next lowest of 16.6k), you dealt the lowest damage to objectives, placed almost the least wards, took the least minions, and earned the least gold. You got Targon's Brace on what appears to be Support Sivir, something you seem to have reliably played (and done very poorly with) recently. You can send in a Support Ticket, but this definitely looks like intentional soft-feeding to me.

Can you confirm which one of these items you're quoting is listed as a violation? I did my best to win the game, and that isn't always directly translated through a ward stat. 14 explicit day ban for poor statistical performance?

As I am not a Riot employee, no. I'm merely suggesting things that might lead someone to conclude intentional feeding is happening. For more details you should send in a ticket to Player Support, or post a replay so that you can get more meaningful feedback on your specific in-game behaviors.

I opened a ticket and I do not have a response. I also know someone who works at Riot who blocked me - not 100% when this game became banned/blockable when you have a bad game or lose multiple games in a row. 14 days? First ban?

Tickets can take 48-72 hours to get answered sometimes. And yes, intentionally feeding does earn an immediate 14-day ban when confirmed. That is expected.

I am personally rather curious about seeing a replay though.

The game I was reported for I was with a duo. Was I intentionally soft feeding him too?

Umbral RegentMar 2, 20193 votes

So, were you 14-day banned for intentionally feeding, or chat misbehavior? If it's the latter, could you present the chat logs associated with your punishment, or if it's the former, could you present the match that was cited as evidence?

Also, naming & shaming is against the Boards Universal Rules, so, you should remove the other player's screenname.

Jo0oMar 2, 20193 votes

Your rank, the name of the player who reported you, and your performance are all irrelevant information. What were you explicitly banned for, and were chat logs provided?

Chat logs were NOT provided, and I should not have been banned, so I cannot give you additional support for why I was banned as I played the game, as I always have.

If you are a true diamond level player, you don't go on a 11 game loss streak in high silver-low gold MMR, even if you are playing ''4fun''. Also support Sivir is pretty much just trolling, and you know it.

The game I was reported on wasn't a Sivir support game, it was a nunu jungle game. I also didn't know not conforming to meta was intentional feeding. Non meta = 14 day suspension?

PH45Mar 3, 20192 votes

Okey sure, keep up the innocent act, I could care less about this tbh. All I'm saying is keep the 4fun stuff in normals instead of bringing it to ranked where people actually want to win, support Sivir, especially with Grasp isn't wanting to win.

It's not that you're not clear, it's that you're not providing any information. We have no idea if you were banned for toxic chat or for trolling, or something else. We can't possibly comment on your ban if you don't tell us what it was for.

Here is the link to the game. I didn't have a good game, but I maintained a good attitude and did my best to win. Our team lost, but I am banned for 14 days.

Agree - I haven't done anything wrong and I can't get anyone from riot to review with me. I've already lost a full Saturday of play duo to their incorrect assessment
