My Goodbye Letter to the League of Legends Community

CrushKyrac·4/2/2016, 12:38:54 AM·46 votes·3,003 views

Today my account was permabanned, finally. I just wanted to say a little goodbye letter to the community here at League. Now before you down vote (or go ahead, whatever) I just wanted to make sure you guys realize. This isn't a whine thread about wanting my account back, or a thread saying I don't deserve it ( I totally do).

In a lot of ways I was eagerly awaiting the permanent ban, and honestly I'm surprised it took so long. Now I can finally put to rest something that I've been wanting to do but couldn't muster up to stop (like an addiction): playing League, and get being better at the rest of my life.

I want to thank every non-toxic players out there, thanks for being good people and mature/composed enough to not lash out behind a screen. We've had some fun times together, great games, Baron steals, and I've made a lot of friends on League. None of them who would consider me toxic. I hope they read this next part, since I only had these friendships on League.

I know it sounds weird to say but I'm never ever toxic when I duo, if I play with someone I'm having fun and no longer feel the need to defend myself and usually have someone there to calm me down when being perpetually attacked. I don't think I've ever been reported while duo'ing (whether old solo Q or not). That's why I ended up retaining so many friends.You guys know I'm fun as fuck to play with and really positive when we're in groups.

I want to thank the neutral players out there for not getting involved with the nonsense I've seen on a day to day basis for the last couple years playing League. The death threats, the cancer wishes, the insane arguments of absurdity.

Finally, here's the surprising part,** I want to give best wishes to the toxic players out there, trying to reform, trying to find a better you**. Trying to restrain and not retaliate. I know it's hard as hell, heck, I just got permabanned, I'm donezo and I needed to be taken out. This was isn't healthy for someone of my personality. If you really value your account, stop now, at all cost. I didn't value my account, and I lost it, but honestly I kind of wanted to lose it. League is a bad game for me personally.

To all the toxic initiators I just want to say thank you: Burn in Hell you evil scumbugs Teemo

It's playing Solo Q/Dynamic Q(especially) that got me. I can't sit there be told to kill myself without retaliating. I honestly feel more abused if I say nothing than at least lash out a bit. I know it's not acceptable. I know it's against policies, but I've always felt the trolls/true toxic initiators get alot of players like me in trouble. Since Riot only looks at 1 side of the coin (your involvement) you get in trouble. That's fine, I deserve it, I knew it, it makes sense.

Now with groups though I feel like there's many groups of Initiators out there, all of whom just want to make the Solo Q players life hell. Well they did it to me today, and me being dumb, fell for the bait again and here I am. Permabanned, many of the toxic initiators and trolls still avoiding or weeding their way through the system.

All in all

Thanks for all the good times League, I will use this extra 2-3 hours a day to be more productive, hit the gym more, study more, accomplish more, and more importantly work on my inner zen more.

Thanks for reading everyone, cheers, goodluck on the rift.

The fact that you can recognize your mistakes is a good indicator that you will indeed "get better" at the rest of your life. Good luck and happy trails.

You're a good person. Best of luck to your life off the Rift. ^^ People like you are what gives me faith in humanity.

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. I forgot to comment here earlier, despite having a tab open for it.

Good luck friend, sorry it had to end like this. Maybe getting Permabanned will lead you to stop playing this game and creating the next big Moba so that we can all get out of this unbalanced cis fest. Good luck friend. Godbless.

You got a heart of gold, man. I could see why sometimes you just gotta lash out, it gets to you if people are constantly trying to piss you off.

It's happened to me, before, too. I usually just put up with it and say nothing about it, but if somebody really gets on my nerves, well, karma's a bitch, right?

But hey, thanks for being so damn awesome!

Well done! Sorry about the permaban and all (especially since with a group you play without toxicity, so you say) but it's good to see at least you're reforming and not one of those posts where you go "blah blah my team sucks this game sucks I should be challenjour blah." You're being very humble about it, and for that I want to say thank you.

Good luck to your real life, and I hope you have a good one as well!

As someone who has also been permabanned. This is my message to the league community:

LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP

Shit talking is part of video games. I have spent countless hours, days, months trying to master this game. I feel that in the dedication and money I have spent over my years apart of this community, I have earned the right of speech to tell someone when I do better than them, and same vice versa. It's shouldn't be up to the 'big-brother' tribunal to ban players when EVERYONE has the ability to mute someone they don't want to hear.

I've been on the losing end of games to which I have encountered my fair share of shit talking. I took it with defeat. I realize that this is a game in which millions play, and ultimately, I'm no where near being the best or even good. But if I want to spew my biased, provocative, and inflammatory thoughts in chat, as long as I'm actually participating with the team, there's no way it shouldn't be allowed.

The last time I checked, you don't get League Points for making friends and being super friendly and nice to everyone, you get it from winning.

Goodbye my friend, players like you are what make me happy about this game and I hope you will succeed in the next section of your life, good bye. [zombie-nunu-tears]

Trying to reform is harder than anything i've done in life. I cannot understand why riot wants a toxic free community but in turn doesn't help people reform with any actual VALID system. A way to track my progress and know i'm actually reforming, not being on my last lifeline for the rest of my league experience. Hextech is still harassing me as well.

I love how you're crying about people who told you to go kill yourself.

Because trolls are clearly ruining online gaming.

No game can survive without you being given a safe space. It was their provocation that caused you to cave! You're otherwise a saint!

You don't care about griefers because you are one. You won't spend that time doing something more productive. You'll play another game with another shitty community as pathetic as you.

And then you realize there are sites which sells LOL accounts for 5€ (level 30 with all champs) and 400RP on account :).

Well, good luck. Sorry it had to end this way.

JanJeKul4/2/2016, 2:01:32 PM1 votes

And then you realize people do it every day and they play with those accounts every day :)

Whimsy Spook4/2/2016, 4:05:58 PM1 votes

You should make a new account, I hear the leveling from 1-30 is half what it was before! Also, you can get a free Hextech Chest to open and some free RP. It'll be like starting fresh again with new ELO and ranks. It'll be an adventure! You'll love it I swear! Just try one game on your new account, I swear it won't be that bad. If it is, I'll give you a refund on your time!

I can say definitively, I am more violent a player now in part to the inclusion of Dynamic Q. I stick to mostly ARAM now. Less frustrations, and less desire to strangle players who are forced into support and know NOTHING IOF HTEAHTEA(EAG

.... Sorry.
