Would you consider perma ban to be illegal?

As a league of legends player, many of us tend to find our self matched with in-experienced gamers that decide talking down to one another for no apparent reason. This experience however is prevalent most of all in bronze league and to be punished for responding to someone whom has been talking rudely to you during the game. Every once in a while they get the better of you and actually cause you to become very irritated with how they were speaking to you and treating you. A few words are exchanged and soon you realize hey will not stop. So you follow up with a mute and a "please report" in all chat trying to better the community for other gamers as you continue to play. After the game you are punished with a "BANNED FOR 14 DAYS"

For myself in the situation, I was playing a Kha'Zix and doing quite well. Lucians 0/4 and i attempt to assist and he backs. i asked why he backed after i die and his response is simple... you suck ass... Previous to that, his prearranged group with Nami is also attempting to talk down to myself after dying but securing a kill. She response learn to use your champion rudely. At this point my irritation is climaxed and i told the to screw off. I muted them and proceeded to mention in all chat Bot lane was toxic.

This offense caused me a 14 day ban and my next offense with no previous warning with League of Legends would result in a permanent ban.

Now pardon me if I am wrong but i think we can all agree that our time is worth something. Definitely our money, and most of all with the population of League gamers, our accounts that we have invested both our time and our money into. In my case, much more money then i am happy to admit at times but in my own way, am glade to have spent to assist this popular game to achieve the fame it has. Enough time has been invested to unlock every champion many without the use of Riot Points, almost all the possible runes that can be purchased, and definitely many skins that i have decided would be worth my dollar. I do believe however if RIOT want to Threaten me by telling me they will permanently close my account they have no right to do so. Especially in a case that is over someone else having a poor game and being offended by their team being annoyed they talk down to others with they poor success. Tribunal does not always accurately punish an accuse gamer and they are definitely looking in from a window on an vaguely understood argument.

I would accuse Riot of illegally stealing my money if another misunderstood incident caused my account to be permanently closed for i have spent money on the accont more than that of the price of other video games. Many other games allow argument and do not monitor it like RIOT. I.E Call of Duty, and you only have to pay the fee for the game. They will not strip your rights to your game from you and nor should league of legends.

Riot, I beleive the community would agree that you need a solution to this issue. Possibly separate the children from the adults somehow?

Read the ToS. They have the right to take away accounts for breaking the summoners code

You accept the terms so no.

I wouldn't consider it any less illegal than having a gym membership revoked for violating their terms of service (i.e. fighting with other patrons, openly using racial/sexist/religious slurs, etc).

You haven't purchased anything and don't own your account. Riot is letting you use an account they own and you are renting their content for your use.

Only in League can someone post visceral proof of themselves being a raging toxic dickhole and then ask why they were banned. Almost 6 years here and I still cannot understand this community.

Would it be illegal for an apartment owner to boot you to the curb for trashing your room? Regardless of how long you paid rent? The answer should be no

14 Day Behavior Suspension

Toaster2812,

You have received a 14 day ban following an extensive audit of in-game behavior within recent League of Legends matches.

Your peers judged your behavior to be far below the standards of the League of Legends community. Think through the conversation and reflect on your words. League is an intense, competitive game, but every player deserves respect. Read more about the effort to encourage sportsmanlike play, here.

Here are some chat logs that were identified as negative by other players in the community.

This type of behavior is unacceptable in this community. When there is nothing good to say, don't say anything at all. As a community, we also don't believe that retaliation is an appropriate response, so in cases where there is retaliation, both players receive penalties. This is the only warning this account will receive. Further examples of toxic behavior can result in permanent closure of your account.

unfortunately the remainder portion of the chat log is missing i was only provided with mine in the ban email.

Well you accepted that rito can do these things when you checked the tos (not sure if anyone even reads that but still you DID check it).

Rito has a hell bunch of lawyers and it would be almost impossible for you to sue them for this.

Toaster28125/5/2016, 1:59:41 AM1 votes

I guess my argument is does the tribunal have to much power in the fact that its not even riot causing the bans but people whom are either doing it for free LP or just for fun. or are they actually people trying to make the community as better place because in my case and argument i dont see where i was "TOXIC" aside from the annoyance they imposed on me.

Dispelle5/5/2016, 4:03:58 AM1 votes

There is no tribunal. (been defunct for a couple years)

There is no LP involved.

For anyone.

if you invest in skins, you are paying for the use of additional services and their enhancement of the enjoyment of your game, kinda like if you were adding HBO to your channels. You're not buying HBO; you're paying for access to it. Skins= more YAY when you play. You pay for the yay. :P

No, not illegal.
