the art of getting someone banned

SmorzTO··2 votes·2,087 views

pretty much done with this game. im sure this will get deleted as soon as I post it. im sure most players who play on a regular basis are familiar with the people who refuse to abide by the calling of lanes in blind matches. nothing ever seems to happen to them. now though there are more and more players who play it seems just to be disruptive and purposely get others banned. I can play my lane to the best of my ability, get called all kinds of names, then banned after words for some unknown reason because 1 or more players report me. last game I was 3/5 after jg came into my lane and stole cs then fed. jg was 1/9 and the other Game 1 Pre-Game SleepySmorz: top In-Game SleepySmorz: don't invade SleepySmorz: neverworks SleepySmorz: 1 might get kill 2 end up behind SleepySmorz: gl SleepySmorz: blame yi SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: you come steal my cs and talk about reporting me SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: you were in my lane SleepySmorz: lol you already said you weren't going to help me, so you were obviously there for another reason SleepySmorz: yeah, they do SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: yi noob SleepySmorz: who quit? SleepySmorz: yi wants to play top, i will play jg SleepySmorz: no yi main asks to invade SleepySmorz: it never works, just makes enemy team mad SleepySmorz: put mid and bot behind SleepySmorz: it didn't work SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: you think 3 early kills means anything SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: for what? SleepySmorz: report yourself SleepySmorz: 1/6 SleepySmorz: yi SleepySmorz: he troll SleepySmorz: i was winning lane until he came up and started feeding trynd SleepySmorz: i haven't stopped playing at all SleepySmorz: draven 2/6 SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: lol, you must be new SleepySmorz: yiou can't get banned for not agreeing with you SleepySmorz: i have more kills than you and draven combined SleepySmorz: so how is that?? Post-Game SleepySmorz: report yi and draven for being toxic SleepySmorz: 3/16 combined... lol SleepySmorz: and it's my fault... person who called me names the whole game was 2/7 but both reported me I assume and now im banned. makes no sense to me. if having different ideas of how to win is now a bannable affense then I guess im out. these guys have no clue how to play, but can just go around reporting anyone for disagreeing with them and get them banned.

the report only shows my comments unfortunately. what did I do or say to get banned. I can assure you the other 2 were much more rude and disruptive the whole game. weird? they have friends who are employees? they are employees?

pretty much done with this game.

Why post then?

im sure this will get deleted as soon as I post it.

Not sure why, I don't see any rule violations.

im sure most players who play on a regular basis are familiar with the people who refuse to abide by the calling of lanes in blind matches. nothing ever seems to happen to them.

Because blind pick isn't "call lanes mandatory". It's literally blind pick. If you want assigned lanes, play draft.

now though there are more and more players who play it seems just to be disruptive and purposely get others banned.

Nobody can get you banned but you.

I can play my lane to the best of my ability, get called all kinds of names, then banned after words for some unknown reason

The reason isn't unknown. It's because your "words" violate the rules.

because 1 or more players report me.

Which is their right if your words violate the rules.

last game I was 3/5 after jg came into my lane and stole cs then fed. jg was 1/9 and the other

Other players performing bad doesn't give you the right to break rules.

what rules did I break?

Flaming, blaming, and harassment.

...

SleepySmorz: blame yi SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: you come steal my cs and talk about reporting me SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: you were in my lane SleepySmorz: lol you already said you weren't going to help me, so you were obviously there for another reason

SleepySmorz: yi noob

SleepySmorz: no yi main asks to invade SleepySmorz: it never works, just makes enemy team mad SleepySmorz: put mid and bot behind SleepySmorz: it didn't work SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: you think 3 early kills means anything

SleepySmorz: for what? SleepySmorz: report yourself SleepySmorz: 1/6 SleepySmorz: yi SleepySmorz: he troll SleepySmorz: i was winning lane until he came up and started feeding trynd SleepySmorz: i haven't stopped playing at all SleepySmorz: draven 2/6 SleepySmorz: lol SleepySmorz: lol, you must be new SleepySmorz: yiou can't get banned for not agreeing with you SleepySmorz: i have more kills than you and draven combined SleepySmorz: so how is that??

SleepySmorz: report yi and draven for being toxic SleepySmorz: 3/16 combined... lol SleepySmorz: and it's my fault...

This all is certainly more than just having different ideas on how to win. The only part where you disagreed in strategy at any point was when you were arguing about the merits of jungle invading, and even then, that was a detrimental argument layered with unspoken insults.

You spent much of the match flaming and harassing Yi, and then near the end started attacking Draven, too. That's the behavior that resulted in the ban. The insults, KDA-shaming, the arguing, and the report calling all contributed to your punishment, and it had nothing to do with a disagreement in strategy.

im sure most players who play on a regular basis are familiar with the people who refuse to abide by the calling of lanes in blind matches. nothing ever seems to happen to them.

As rujitra pointed out, Lane calling in Blind Pick is a courtesy, not a right. If you want assigned lanes, you play Draft pick. Blinds is just a free-for-all in terms of roles.

these guys have no clue how to play, but can just go around reporting anyone for disagreeing with them and get them banned.

Again, it wasn't the disagreement in strategy that resulted in your punishment, but your behavior as a whole. You got banned because you harassed and flamed your teammates, not because you disagreed with them on strategy.

I was the one being harassed. me replying to haters is not harassment. I can defend myself. if that is what they banned me for then the others should have been banned as well.

Counterflame is still flame. If you harass and insult people back for them insulting and harassing you, you're not a victim, and you're no better than the person who started it.

I can defend myself.

Yes. You absolutely can.

With the mute feature.

Flaming them back is not defending yourself; it's retaliating.

if that is what they banned me for then the others should have been banned as well.

Well, did you report them? If so, then the IFS will have reviewed their behavior and punished them accordingly. If no, then that's entirely on you.

Either way, their behavior and their punishments are neither here nor there; this is your thread, about your punishment, and consequently, your behavior. You can either learn what to avoid doing in the future (assuming this wasn't a permanent suspension), or continue to deflect your issues onto everyone else, and get yourself punished again (again, assuming this was a 14-day ban and not a permanent one.)

Yes, it seems everyone who gets harassed and abused in this game has to get banned to learn to be a happy robot. Ridiculous.

constantly (counter)flaming yi.

since i alrdy read your comments about "defending" yourself, you could just mute them. usually if someone gets punished and others dont, its because your past history was just more toxic constantly. the reform card might only show up to 3 games, but that doesnt mean the games you played before you were any better.

stop calling for reports as all it does is screw yourself over even more, mute people and report them.

also stop playing blind pick if you cant deal with the "rules" of lane picking. as there are none. the most stupid thing is "said it first so its my role" by that logic if i copy paste into the lobby "top jungle mid adc support" all roles belong to me and the other 4 on my team MUST dodge.

I saw 5 lines of possible flaming and they were barely even hostile. Why can’t we see the full text? Most of the time the full text is terrible toward the person playing and the comments are taken out of context to how the person was treated. Riot needs to fix this.

rujitra4 votes

Again, what others do does not affect your punishment. If you cannot control yourself in game, that's not Riot's problem.

TiltaryClinton2 votes

What is riots problem is knowing they have a toxic ranked community and then handing out perm bans to players who have had long standing good accounts for reacting. That’s poor management.

Riot has admitted they know these trolls make new accounts and troll smarter so all they’re doing is encouraging ranked to be filled with trolls who don’t care about their accounts.

You repeating riots current broken system doesn’t help make it better.

BoRnToKiLL6661 votes

Yes, once you get to Plat1/D4, literally every game has someone "soft inting". either on the enemy team or your team. They will just keep running it down a lane or afk jungle while inting. Cant do much about that if they troll smarter. item 3151

You can even check my last 5 games, there is a soft inter in each one. LOL, to name them, cait on enemy team, draven on my team, kaisa on my team, Janna/Karma on enemy team, Janna on enemy team

This a ridiculous ban. Barely any flaming and I imagine if we saw the full chat, we’d see a terrible experience for this player.

A competitive game needs to learn how to handle competitive mindsets and words.
