Account Banned For Toxicity, Hear Me Out

Zaraku VanDranyx··4 votes·1,287 views

Yes, I did. I did talk mad smack in a game to someone on my team that totally didn't deserve it and got a bit colorful with my dialect. Hell I have been on the receiving end of it too (long before I understood the reporting function in LoL) and it hurts. Yes, I was a dirt bag and inconsiderate. Though I even stooped so low as to use hate speech (racist slurs) I want the community to know, that is not me. I am not a hateful guy, nor am I easily swayed. Truth is I got a bit tipsy and logged in to league for a last game before bed and was not in the best mood. I understand that this is no excuse for being a total jerk, but it's all I got.

I do not feel so bad that I lost all my IP that I had been saving for the new champ Jhin. No, I do not feel so bad about the many skins I paid for from my own pocket to help League continue being the awesome game it is. What hurts the most is that I misrepresented Braum. I have been playing as him every since I started League in season 3 when he first came out. The whole first month I was learning to play the game Braum was in the log in screen and free to play roster, and his skills appealed to me because I love helping others. Even when I was younger I always wanted to be the healer, the buffer, the tank that protected the pure (damage carry). I have shielded many and enlightened few in Braum's name. Even sent a smiley mustache or two :{D :{D but in one game this main account and all the work I have done to make it mine is for not.

I know, it is all my doing, but with this I hope to maybe do something to make amends. I am truly sorry for my behavior, and if you give me one more chance and lift the ban, I will strive to get as many honors in Braum's name as I can as penance. I really do like this game, and hope that this display will help you see me as more of a person rather than a toxic troll. If not I understand, and am still willing to go through the qualms of starting from the ground up again. I apologize to those offended. I apologize to the community, to Braum, and to myself. I am sorry.

Umm, you dont get banned for being toxic in just 1 game. You have to have a history of being toxic to warrant a perma ban.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

You can and I did.

IsmokeOregano1 votes

if language was severe enough you can skip steps in the punishment system. I didn't know it could escalate straight to perma-ban, but i guess it can

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

Well there was some racist slurs being slung about. I am sure that helped.

I am sure you have no idea how many reports you have incurred. Some players think it is funny to report the worst stat player on the team every game. You probably got many of those unwarranted reports. Those don't usually turn into an account action, but they remain as points against it.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

Once upon a time I had no respect for the tribunal. Probably got a lot of grief for that.

56552559_DEL1 votes

I seriously doubt that. You would have literally had to have spammed the chat with all sorts of profanity, slurs and even threaten physical harm to get that kind of ban off of 1 game. Only if it is severe enough would they outright ban you due to one game of this. And i doubt it was that severe so you MUST have a history of being toxic.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

I never said I didn't. Weather I have ever been toxic or not is not in question. I made the claim that "took one game" and it did. Does that mean that one game was ALL it took? Unlikely, as you aptly put. So safe to assume you are correct. Or you could assume that I hate trolls and get put with them a lot. Hard to be friendly to people that go onto League in 4 man parties to report people for absurd things like skill level or untrue things like hate speech. Who among the community has never had a go at a troll before? EVER??? Trundle See what I did there?

You dont understand the report system then. Just because you got banned after a certain game doesnt mean "it took 1 game to perma ban me for toxicity" what it means is that the last game in question was the final nail in the coffin for you to get banned since you have a history of being toxic.

All those toxicity reports add up and if you dont heed the warning of Riot to knock it off, then you will eventually get banned. But again, your last game was just the final nail in the coffin but IS NOT "all it took". Having an entire toxicity history is all it takes.

Learn the report system before you talk.

Dude, you must not be able to read all that well, I JUST SAID that it was safe to assume that, so go ahead and assume for all I care. Proving trivial things like this to people like you who judge others is not my goal here. Have a nice day. [zombie-brand-clap]

I'm pretty sure they have given you a chance between 2 weeks ban and perma-ban.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

I don't recall a 2 weeks ban.

I don't recall a 2 weeks ban.

That's weird, every toxic ban will go through chat restrictions, 2 weeks and eventuall perma. Only scripting results instant perma ban Maybe you should talk to riot about this

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

Ah wait I do recall one now... it was so long ago. But what I am asking for is another chance in general. either I get it or I don't. Either way, life goes on.

No.... it's possible to skip to permanent ban depending on the offense. Racial slurs is most likely enough.

Straw Hat Loki2 votes

I do wish you the best of luck w/ getting another chance!

GL and if you do get the ban lifted, leave the toxicity outside of the game!

As a side note, I am sorry to Rito for not giving the tribunal the respect it deserves. I will pass the word that the system is alive and well, lest others make the same grave mistake i did.[zombie-nunu-tears] [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Don't need to read. Ban well deserved.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

So you say. But you didn't hear me out which is literally in the title. Plus do you even know what was said or how things transpired in the game? I am sure your answer would still be the same regardless, but still, if you are going to comment on someone's thread then have the decency to at least give them a chance to explain where they come from. If not you may as well be a troll.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

What did you do to come to this conclusion? Please tell me the extensive and rigorous trials by which you found fit to judge me.

Yoy are always more than welcomed to create a new account

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

I actually have several. But they don't have the 180k Mastery in Braum or the skins I slaved for at work. Do you have any idea what it is like to be a guy wishing he had just one skin and then to get that skin after playing for over 5 months? Euphoric. I will not be purchasing another skin I already previously owned. I put quite enough money into this free game as it is.

GRVet3ran0sS1 votes

Yeah i got my 2.5k mmr account banned for saying to report a guy.Life is unfair deal with it.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

This IS how I deal with it. Most just move on, but select few will at least try, no matter what the odds. And this isn't really a matter of life, it is just an account. All I really wanted to do was make a public apology.

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

Look, I know everyone wants to prove me wrong and say that I deserve the ban. (I do.) But even though I only want to apologize, that hurts. None of you know me or even take the time to read all of what was typed. None of you take the time to think "this is a real person, subject to change, like the rest of the world." You would much rather kick me while I am down like the trolls in game. But what people don't take into consideration is that I don't quit easy, but I am easily offended. These are traits that don't go well together, because when you hurt a man's ego the only thing on that man's mind is payback. In the gaming world words are the only weapon you got when results don't cut it, so crap happens and words are thrown around. No one cares who started it, they just start spiting insults. Next thing you know the troll is the victim and the victim is the troll (how did that happen?) Or in rare cases you get pitted with a whole team of trolls who make your gaming experience hell. But do they get reported? No. They report you and majority rules. Next thing you know you have a chat restriction, then a 2 week ban. You get told to uninstall and go kill yourself and you are just expected to ignore it. But who gets the 4 reports? Possibly more if they get the enemy team on their side? Not them... They go on to become diamond and plat players, while the humble are at their mercy. If you have ever been there and understand where I am coming from, then you know how it must feel to want to just lash out and fight back, get mad and try to make change rather than sit idly bye and wait for it to pass. It is in this spirit that I show my toxic colors. I may show a little salt, but most of the time you have to work hard to earn my toxicity.

Post the chat log here and if u innocent i buy you 5 skins on your new acount:P

Zaraku VanDranyx1 votes

Everyone seems to misunderstand even though I clearly posted, "Yes, I did." This is an admittance of guilt, not a plea for a second look at the reason I was banned. I even said that I talked smack. that is not what I am asking. What I am asking is for forgiveness and/or a second chance with my account. Since I owned some high profile skins like Spirit Guard Udyr and Pulse Fire Ezreal, it may be slightly understandable why I would like the profile back. Again, weather I get it back or not, life goes on.
