14 day suspension

T2oqoG6Dfn·9/8/2016, 8:54:58 AM·2 votes·2,227 views

Hello, I received a 14 day suspension on my account for only one game, and I didn't get the chat restriction for 20 games. In that one particular game I didn't write anything offensive for 30 minutes, I was playing support and the adc was calling me retard, idiot, useless.. I made a mistake, I didn't muted him and responded to his provocation. Yes, I was also toxic like him.

I submitted a ticket to Riot and asked them how was this fair for only game. They told me I shouldn't fight fire with fire, and toxicity is not tolerated at all. I gave them right, but told them it's not fair that my single report wasn't enough to get that guy punished who started the whole game(they were premades) and I asked them to punish him with 14 day suspension because this is how it's fair. They didn't do anything about it so I kept writing more about the unfairness of this case.

Today I tried to log in and see if I get the message if a player was punished I previously reported, but I couldn't. I found out I got permanently suspended before my 14 day suspension ended. I can't believe this, and I'm really confused and mad, how is this fair?

Sounds like they reviewed your case and manually increased the punishment due to the severity of the behavior they found. You'll simply have to open up a support ticket and ask (I recommend referencing the old ticket so they can look at it).

As for why your one report may not trigger a punishment for them while theirs did to you, there are a couple facts about that which are important;

  1. Reviews are triggered by getting lots of reports, typically across many games (premade reports only count as one). To get your matches reviewed this was likely the result of many games of toxic behavior, not just this one. You are only provided 1-3 chat logs, but that is not all that was in the case review.

  2. You don't always get notified that your report resulted in punishment. As long as your reports are accurate they will contribute to triggering a review and subsequent punishment, but if that player is not consistently toxic and reported then odds are he won't be punished for a one-off game.

I think it seems like people are making you out to be the bad guy because we don't know what happened. There's been hundreds (probably thousands) of people who try to sound like the good guy even though they got punished. They say it was only one game, I'm never toxic, etc.. but all we know is that RIOT chose to ban you, so why would we take your word for it? It could be (and probably is) that you've been toxic in several games lately and this game was the last straw for you. Of course you're gonna say it was only one game, but why would we believe it? Back in the day when people did this, a riot employee would come in and post the logs, completely annihilating their argument and showing everyone that that person is indeed toxic, in more than just 1 game (called it the lyte smite). So it's hard for us to just take your word for it, please understand.

As for your ban, I'm leaning on the side of, you probably are toxic sometimes, because you retaliated. If you retaliated against this flamer, why would you do that if you never retaliate against other flamers? There's no way this is the first flame you've seen on this game, so it's probably happened before. Riot has had enough of you feeding the trolls and flamers and felt the need to rid you from the community for it. As for the other guy, maybe this was the first time he snapped on a feeder or he just hasn't done it enough for riot to feel he needs punishment, idk. We don't know, we can't know, and you can't know. So just try to move on man... you're feeling the need for revenge, but you gotta try n get over that and just move on with your own life. Whether the other person gets banned holds no consequence on your own life. It's a terrible feeling to want revenge and you're only hurting yourself by feeling that way. So rise above it. Don't be petty, don't concern yourself with other people's lack of suffering.

Guys, it was only one game. I mean, he probably acted like an absolute scumbag for 40 minutes. BUT IT WAS ONLY ONE GAME.

Don't act like a dickhead and Riot won't have an issue if you're part of their games' community.

I'm a casual worker at a deli to help pay for my university costs. If you came into my store and started swearing at other customers, you would probably end up arrested and be given a court order forbidding you for ever coming near the store again. Even if you only did in 'one time'.

Be thankful that Riot didn't permanently ban you. If they thought your actions warranted a longer suspension, good on Riot for manning up and laying down the law.

Keep in mind, not everyone get the message that someone was banned because of your report. If said player went into another game, got reported, and THEN got banned, the player who reported him in the second game will get the message.

And while I am sorry you lost your account, Riot's rules are firm. Retaliation is treated the same as initiation. If you break the rules, you have to take the consequences of your actions. In future, try to be more responsible and ignore toxic players, or mute them if you can't. You need to be on your best bahavior, because if you are not careful, you next punishment good result in permanent suspension.

Good luck.

Ask for chat logs, but if you were that bad, you might have been banned for something pretty bad. Be honest with yourself, you probably know if you were exceptionally vile or intentionally fed.

I can't log in and see the chat logs, and I also didn't got any email about my permanent suspension. I have a feeling they just wanted to make a point they are always right. I see 10 times worse things in almost every game on EUNE, my behaviour shouldn't be punished with a permanent suspension for sure.

Let's downvote this toxic scumbag, he deserves a permanent ban on his 4 year old account even if he was never punished before. You guys are amazing.

T2oqoG6Dfn9/10/2016, 5:17:19 AM1 votes

It wasn't permabanned for toxicity, so I'm getting my account back. Keep downvoting.

what does the whole message say when you try to log in?

specifically, what year were you banned till?

nerak239/11/2016, 10:24:46 PM1 votes

I contact Riot how this is fair that the guy who provoked me and insulted me for 30 minutes got away

Did you consider your offences and figure how much you should get away with ?

30 mins. of what ? You have done the same to me on here, should you be punished ?
