I'm the one being punished instead of the troll. Thanks, Riot.

Basically, I lost my shit when our team's support banned the champion I wanted to play, being Katarina. Someone dodges and I hover Veigar just so she won't ban Katarina. Guess what, she still does it. I lose myself after the Annie is stealing EXP and CS in game from me, in the mid lane. I tell Annie, you're not even building support, so I'm going to go bot and help Vayne. She follows me. I got back mid and bot and mid and bot. She is still on my tail. I'll copy paste the rest that happens.

Please report Annie.
You already trolled to begin with.
please
shes following me now
what and let him troll
wtf is wrong with you
imma go support
fine ill mid
pretty sure tht annie and jax will say no to surrender
im having a bad time
i just wanted a clean 1v1
she doesnt even auto minions to get them off tower...
this is horrible..
Annie, what did I do to deserve this?
Just tell me.
You gave me a reason to report for banning my champion.
This is not fair at all. You play whatever the fuck you want, I play whatever I want. It's simple. I shouldn't have to wait 30
Just to play it.
Because you ban Kata which is the champ I wanted to play, as I clearly put it in champ select.
And then stay in my lane the whole game.
Jax, mind your own fucking business.
YOU BANNED MINE FIRST WTF
Jax, shut up, I bet that you are in a duo with this Annie.
Youre trying to protect her.
Well, then dont protect the fucking troll, idito
My fucking god, youre 12.
Bitch does it look like I care?
Jax, you don't know how I am feeling, so shut the fuck up, and mind your own business.
I never fucking said that
Im done. Everyone here is being an asshole to me, just because I am getting trolled.
Everyone is taking advantage just to get me banned.
Im done playing League.
Don't worry, Teemo. I'll just stop playing League, alltogether. I can't handle a community like this.,
I don't know, man.
I was serious about quitting...
I wasn't lying so I can win the respect of the enemy team or to get Annie reported. I was serious about quitting.
Jax, Vayne, Annie, say whatever you want to the enemy team about me, just leave Teemo out of it.
Jax, you're right, but whatever, it doesn't affect me anymore.
Nothing does anymore.
Yeah, I know I am.
Annie banned my champion, so I was naturally mad.

Our Teemo was the only one that was actually nice to me, and I lose it. Our Jax, and Vayne help the troll and I am the one getting chat-restricted and not the troll. This is a completely fair gaming community. COMPLETELY. I even sent back an E-Mail to Riot on how much bullshit this is. I know that it's only a chat restriction, but for me to get punished, when I lose it, when I get trolled is unfair. I was bluffing about leaving in-game but I am actually considering leaving.

Top: Teemo Mid: Syndra Jungle: Jax ADC: Vayne Support: Annie

Heh, so just because I talked back is the reason I got downvoted. Even more reason to quit. The main reason I made this is not because I was punished as I make it seem but because THE TROLL GOT AWAY FREE.

Edit!: This matter has been resolved. Thank you to: Deep Terror Nami, Reket DeAlk, AJ502, and Firu! You guys helped out a lot!

Doesn't matter who started it.

Report calling is harassment. You were extremely negative and aggressive towards your own team. All of that is enough to get you a punishment.

Bare in mind also that you don't get punished for just one game (unless it's an extreme case, which this is not). So you need to have a history of this kind of behavior before actually getting punished.

This is the first time. Besides, the Jax and Vayne lied to the enemy team about me to get me reported. I don't see how this is fair. Not one bit. Shouldn't Riot first look at the chat instead of just instantly punishing someone who has 3 reports? I don't see this as fair...

Number of reports don't matter. One report is enough to flag the game. And your chat is all that matters for your punishment.

What you typed is what got you punished. The Jax and Vayne will get theirs too, if they haven't already. Like I said before calling for others to report someone is considered harassment and leads to a ban.

As I said back there, I find this false... I got punished for talking back to troll who was LYING to the enemy team about the things I have said. They said, "Please report Syndra she said my mom should get cancer". They were report calling and I was the one punished for protecting myself.

First line of your chat logs

"Please report Annie"

That, on top of negative chat with your teammates, got you punished. What they did does NOT matter when it comes to YOUR ban.

Skaiserus1 votes

I understand, but she got free, with no punishment. I got punished. I accept that, but I was not punished ALONG with the troll. That is my main concern this post.

aj502 Oneill1 votes

You don't know, nor never will know if that Annie got punished or not.

What, you think they gonna TELL you?

Nope.

Skaiserus1 votes

They actually did tell me a few times, telling me that a person has been successfully punished by the Tribunal.

aj502 Oneill1 votes

Unless that was the "final straw" report, you won't get that message...Also, it's not (always) immediately after either. I've got those the next day at login before after I went several games w/o reporting anyone.

Plus, if you've done a few reports, you don't know who it is either...

All reports do is flag a game for review (and it doesn't matter how many reports you receive in a single game).

If your behaviour wasn't punishment-worthy, you wouldn't have been punished.

Skaiserus1 votes

I find this false... I have actually seen one of my friends who did not want to talk in game, got reported and still got punished. That was a long while ago.

Deep Terror Nami5 votes

I can't really speak for how the system worked a long time ago, but the system now does not punish based solely on report volume. All reports do is flag the match to be checked, and multiple reports can't make it check any harder. The system will parse chat logs for Verbal Abuse reports, and if you didn't say anything negative (or nothing at all) then you can't be punished for that.

If you have a problem with a player, just mute and report them. They will be judged for their own actions, but if you respond with negative behavior yourself you will be judged for yours. You aren't going to fix them by getting into an argument or insulting them; more likely than not, you make the situation worse and become a problem yourself.

Skaiserus1 votes

Can there still be a way that the troll get punished as well? I am fine that I get punished with the troll, but the troll got free...

FatesDefiler1 votes

nah, because then rito won't be able to permaban the next person the troll encounters. how can rito make money if they don't ban their playerbase and force them to repurchase the same things they already have? you're really not thinking about this clearly from rito's perspective. maybe you should be suspended from the forums for awhile while you contemplate this. amirite, blues?

if they troll and people report them often enough, they will get punished. reporting them does help.

Skaiserus1 votes

Alright, but they should really read why I'm so pissed, correct? The troll went without punishment because my team was helping him ban me...

If you were the only one that reported them, then that's all that is needed. Like we've said, multiple reports don't do anything.

If you got punished first, then you had enough games reported to trigger a review. The review found bannable chat in your case.

They will get their ban. It doesn't always happen at the same time.

Skaiserus2 votes

Alright, thank you for letting me know.

PDE5 Inhib1 votes

It doesn't. All it does is devalue your report after so many.

if it takes 200 straight games of going 0-35-2 to get punished, what makes you think not as trolly trolls get punished?

PDE5 Inhib1 votes

My problem with people saying report calling is harassment is that those people need to grow up. It's not harassment. If you don't want "harassed" by someone saying they will report you for trolling, don't troll.

I might be wrong on this, but it's more for people who use it to bully others. "Give me mid or I'll report you". That kind of thing. And since multiple reports don't do anything it's kinda pointless to call for them.

PDE5 Inhib1 votes

Well see, that's different. I put that more under the "12 year old baby" category that should be a report option. But the first thing I think of when people say, "omg you're so toxic for asking the enemy team to, 'please report our adc for calling me the n-word'" (yes, true story. saw the guys chat logs and he had about 3 lines of text: gl hf, ggwp, and that quote..and everyone on the boards were omg u so toxic such negative) is that, should we also shame people for going public with rape cases? Like, shouldn't they just report it to the police and then shut their mouths about it?

What is fair or not fair? U could have muted them if they annoyed u. If they broke rules, report after game. There is absolutely reason to call them trolls. To ask people to report them. Also your chat is full of fake bullshit. Banning champion that u intended to pick is not against rules. Player is allowed to ban any champion he wants, for any reason he wants. So they werent really trolls. Only reason they were "trolls" is cause u invented your own rules and declared them breakers of your own rules. And guess what. Your rules mean nothing here.

Proper way to handle situation:

-Dont call people trolls. Dont insult them for ANY reason. Dont tell others to report someone for ANY reason. Those are all punishable offenses -If their chat is annoying you and distracts you from game, mute them. -If they are breaking rules, wait till game is over and use one of offered options to report someone. -Check whats punishable before accusing people of doing something. There are many things that ignorant people think are punishable which actually arent. Banning or taking your pick is NOT against rules. Coming to your lane sometime during game is NOT against rules.

Anyway as u stated in your chat:

Everyone is taking advantage just to get me banned. Im done playing League

Whats the point of this thread? You already decided you dont wanna play anymore. And judging how negative and offensive u are. And how u have absolute disregard for game rules and put your own rules above everything else, you arent really welcome here. So to answer your question: Yes this ban was indeed fair. You did break rules. And breaking rules gets you punished. There is never "excuse" for breaking rules and its never acceptable no matter what happens.

If you read the whole post, you would see. I was bluffing. You may say the CHAT-RESTRICTION (Being my first punishment), is deserved, but as I ALSO put in the post was also ON THE TITLE. So, the troll went free.

I'm the one being punished instead of the troll.

There is no "instead". Annie was "troll" only cause u called her troll. What rule did Annie broke? None.

Skaiserus1 votes

Alright. So, I am the one unwelcome in the community because I called Annie a troll. Very nice. So, look here, you don't ever say anything on the posts I put out, if you're going to be an asshole about it. You aren't helping me become a better League player by telling me I'm not welcome.

If you think he was offensive and negative, you are WAY to overly sensitive and probably should seek medical advice for your low self esteem. Being completely honest here. Being that sensitive to everything is seriously no way to live.

the sycophants who only exist in an effort to best parrot rito PR can't possibly imagine a case where what they mindlessly repeat in post after post isn't absolutely true in every instance. they're extremely limited people, these forumers. for no personal benefit, they support a corporation enacting the most draconian, unfair, and unrealistic player moderation policies that's ever existed in gaming. it's worth it though, for them thumbs. right, boys?

I guess it isn't fair for them either, but my main concern is not that I got punished, but because I didn't get punished ALONG with the troll.

Our Teemo was the only one that was actually nice to me,

What...The...Actual.....FAK????!!!!

RITO needs to permaban that Teemo player, he is NOT playing Teemo like you're supposed to!

Skaiserus1 votes

Yeah, surprised me too! He was actually very nice, considering the guy was Rank 5 and had Omega Squad. LOL. Edit: Okay??? I got downvoted for actually praising someone for being nice...

Fovere1 votes

Don't come here looking for sympathy, you won't find much.

Trolls are god awful, but Riot really doesn't want to 1) find a way to punish them or 2) empower the players to somehow deal with them, so you are pretty much stuck.

You should be prepared for the possibility of trolls, flamers, etc. before you even queue in and have a plan for what you will do to deal with them.

Firu2 votes

The plan should be three steps:

  1. Mute them if they say anything.
  2. Do not respond with your own toxicity.
  3. Report them after the game.

That last one definitely seems like a way Riot empowers players to deal with trolls...

I'm sure to you it seems that way.

It's more like a way for Riot to encourage them.
