Sigh... permanently banned?

So I came back to play this game after some months and I immediately get banned... and the ban is a permanent ban. I guess the bans didn't decay at all over the months of not playing.

I was able to retrieve my account once from a permanent ban suspension because it was so blatantly obvious, based on my match history, that I was trying to win games and did not deserve a permanent ban.

This time, I did say some mean things to my teammates out of frustration although not nearly as offensive as what others say on this game. But I don't think I'm getting it back again. My only hope is that the popup title when I log into my account says "permanently banned" but then it also says banned for 30 days below.

Man, it's so hard to NOT get reported on this game. You play in plat elo and if someone performs terribly, much below expectations (plat elo is at least in the 80th percentile) and you try to help, you end up fighting and get mass reported. All you can do is suck your thumb and let him be while feeling incredibly helpless.

I wish the ban system wasn't so harsh; I think people actually do reform even after short term bans. It's just that... there is no escape from getting banned. You get excused a few times but the bans will come whether you deserve them or not, and they accumulate without much decay. Took me only 3+ years.

I actually didn't spend much money on this game because I knew this'd happen. I'm sure there are others who think as I do. Really wanted some skins but I knew it'd happen.

Good thing I saw it coming and have a couple smurf accounts... I've been to mid Diamond back during the Solo Queue days and it still hurts to know that my main account is gone.

Sadly,

A permanently banned player.

Never been reported, it isn't as hard as you think. And no, you have to actively play to get the punishment reduced.

Mass reporting does nothing. A report flags a game for the automated system to review it for red flag bahvior, nothing more. Multiple reports from the same game can't trigger the review harder or faster. The reason you got banned is because over the course of your recent career, you've clearly been reported with enough valid offenses to the point that this final report nailed you in the coffin. Behavior levels do tend to diminish over time, but this goes down with games played, not time away from the game.

I assume that I've never been reported.

I have never received any restrictions.

I'm Platinum 5 in Garena, and I can't even get a chat restriction.

I real tired of this "it's impossible not to get banned" BS it really isnt

you claim you think it is possible to reform with warnings but in the same breath admit that you still flame teammates

please gtfo of here with your pity party you had your chance to reform and you blew it almost immediately after coming back from a break what's more is you knew you were being toxic because you already prepped a few smurfs

you will find no sympathy here

You deserved it.

Yeah, sorry dude. You have to play on acct to make the ban tiers reduce. So if you get 2 week ban and then dont touch the acct for 4 months you will still be at the perma punishment tier if you haven't played.

Hope your other accts dont get banned!
