Game 1 Pre-Game lnteIIigence: :c same In-Game lnteIIigence: can you not take cs please :) lnteIIigence: ty lnteIIigence: i think neeko is inting guys lol lnteIIigence: report after ty lnteIIigence: stealing all my cs lol lnteIIigence: what a trash supp lnteIIigence: go to another lane pls neeko lnteIIigence: better off without you lnteIIigence: more helpful than this neeko dumbasss luix lol lnteIIigence: dont flame :) lnteIIigence: wont be helpful :)_ lnteIIigence: lux definitely dued with this troll neeko lnteIIigence: no way a player can be so bad as to side with a troll like that lnteIIigence: yea im the one trying to win lol lnteIIigence: 4 mid lnteIIigence: i think you are 20 iq lux lol lnteIIigence: siding with the trolling neeko and then complaining about the adc whos actually trying to win lnteIIigence: imagine being that stupid lol lnteIIigence: im just muting you now ur useless to talk to lnteIIigence: trolling duo lux and neeko lol lnteIIigence: 1/3 trolling support teaming up with toxic lux lol lnteIIigence: gg Post-Game lnteIIigence: yea neeko trolling lnteIIigence: and lux too lnteIIigence: lol you didnt hear her defending the neeko troll all game lnteIIigence: gg

This neeko support was passive aggressively stealing my cs during laning phase. Kept doing it no matter how nicely I asked for her to stop. Then the lux mid starts to defend her and call ME a troll (???). The above few gently messages are literally all I said in the entire game. Is she really going to get away with this and keep trolling games while I'm here looking at locked client? I was the one trying to win the whole game while she trolls, please unban this account, this was clearly an error on the part of the algorithm. Any Riot employees looking into this?

No, this is not a bug. The system correctly punished someone who accused a teammate of inting, called for reports, and then called teammates "trash," "dumbass," "troll," "bad," "20 IQ," "stupid," "useless," and "toxic."

Definitely more worth a permaban than trolling the game away.

If its a perma in guessing you had a 14 day ban before?

Now you're dodging the topic at hand because you know it isn't a fair permaban.

No he's not dodging the topic. If you keep doing something, despite being told NOT TO DO IT, you most certainly deserve the punishment you get. Where as the Neeko you played with may have just fucked around in 1 game. So yeah, you probably do deserve it more.

That depends on prior punishments. The punishment system works in escalating. If you had no priors this would likely be a chat restriction. If you had a 14 day ban it would be a perma. Its like if you commit a crime for the first time or if you have a criminal history.

If you were permabanned for this, it means that you regularly engage in this kind of misbehavior, even when Riot gives you multiple punishments and tells you very clearly that any more of it will result in losing this account for good. You didn't listen, and so here we are. A permaban in this case does make sense, because in this very thread after punishment number four you still somehow believe that belittling and harassing people during an entire match is perfectly fine ("gentle") and any punishment for it must be a bug. You demonstrated no ability to follow the rules, so the wisest course of action if Riot wants to stop you from ruining the experience of other players is to close the account, which they did.

By the way, the fact that other players do or do not get punished has no impact on whether you are punished. For your account, the only behavior evaluated is your own. No action another player takes justifies you in breaking the rules yourself.

But is it fair? I'll give you a hint, the correct answer is: No.

How is it not fair? Don't you want to be judged by your own actions? Would you rather people get banned for something as simple as e.g. "this lane is brutal" just because the rest of their team was incredibly happy and almost sickeningly positive? I'm sorry the person who bothered you got away with no punishment, but toxicity isn't a contest, and Riot has enough punishments for anyone who appears to need one according to the IFS.

If you wanted to retain an account, you should've taken responsibility for your own behavior.
