Unable to receive rewards due to past behavior...

I have come back after taking 3 month break after having a set of back to back games where I lost my cool due to other people trolling in my matches for which I received a chat ban that I diligently and quietly served BEFORE I took my break.

Now I come back to an awesome new crafting system and a cool new way to reward good players for having good games.

Except apparently I am unable to take part due to my "Past behavior" even though I have already SERVED my punishment and THEN some by taking such a long break.

Then when I contacted support they are saying there is no timetable or way of knowing when I will be able to take part in the new system. They just tell me to play nice and at some point in the future (And they can't tell me how long) I will be able to enjoy the new part of the game that everyone else already gets to have.

This seems immensely unfair to me when you consider the fact that I have already SERVED my punishment and that my punishment took place BEFORE this new system was put into place. Now I am being punished further after the fact with NO end in sight. Since this seemingly applies to everyone that has had a recent disciplinary action I know that I am not alone in this belief.

The only fair way to do this to me is to take away the crafting system from those who are disciplined AFTER the system was put into place. As it stands right now myself and others are being punished for something we were already punished for and have had something taken away for something we did when we had NO IDEA this even existed or was coming.

I can tell you that it does not take 3 months to regain eligibility from a single chat restriction, as long as you are being sportsmanlike. You can look around the message boards and see lots of people regaining eligibility. For some it takes longer than others. It is not impossible, or even difficult. Simply play the game, have fun, display sportsmanship and you will begin earning loot shards before you know it.

Not receiving loot is not a punishment. Earning loot is a reward.

You will receive rewards once the system has determined that you have reformed. There is no defined period for this, but I have heard a couple of times now that people claimed playing about 30 games without receiving a valid report was enough to get their hextech rewards back.

This is a few weeks old now, but it's from a rioter basically saying one what I just told you.

I say this with certainty and conviction.

Either improve your low state of morality or never feel the joy of a hextech reward. Blitzcrank

Who cares if you were gone for 2 years. You have to show you are better in game. I would sooner prefer someone getting rewards after 1 week if they played 100 games without messing up then I would a guy gone for a year who had played 5 games before he took off time.

Please review the Hextech Crafting Restriction Riot Games Support article for more information about why you're ineligible for Hextech Crafting at this time:

Signs of reform. Once your punishment has ended, you'll continue to be restricted from earning loot until you're recognized to have made significant progress in amending your past behavior.

FOR ANYONE THAT HAS RECEIVED THIS PUNISHMENT AND WANTS TO REGAIN THEIR STATUS TO RECEIVE HEXTECH REWARDS AGAIN READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is coming from my personal experience in the past week so this is 100% legit, you can choose to believe it or not I don't really care. You can call me a liar, a loser, a toxic boosted animal, here's the simple fact: I'm currently earning those juicy hextech crates again while you guys who have the "unable to receive rewards due to past behavior" are not.

Now that intros are out of the way, this was my past situation >>> Last week around Tuesday evening (April 12) I got a 10 game chat restriction off of 3 flagged games. First game was from 3 weeks ago (they literally hold records from that long ago and even longer so put your goody-goody-two shoes on every time you play a game or else the past will haunt you). Second game was from over the weekend before Tuesday where a 3 man premade were trolling me by pinging me to go in then running away and leaving me to die so I raged out at the premades. Of course that action was wrong, you're not supposed to be toxic, but I still consider it "worth" because I use league as a stress reliever. Raging out like that once in a while feels good, even if it does nothing, it makes ME feels good; so yeah... flagged. Third game was directly on Tuesday and which had caused me to get the punishment. Again, another premade group (If you haven't realized by now, I'm a solo player. Feels good when you win a game by yourself but man, those premades are just toxic to the next level and make the game really hard to win). They flamed me for picking Taric jungle in champ select and additionally for the first 8 mins of the game, so in retaliation I wouldn't gank a lane. I only did clean up after all the fights to get kills, put a ward on the premade's dead body, and spammed taunt on their dead bodies for a good 5 seconds each. Every time they died I'd say "gj trash" and the like. Once again a well deserved punishment--still "worth" 'cause I put them on tilt which made them go negative (which was hilarious to watch), they raged out in chat which also triggered a punishment for them after I reported them, AND I got a chest and key frag from that game (got S- on Taric, I was dying of laughter).

Sooooo yeah, 10 game chat restriction, bummer. Went through the 10 games through aram and co-op games to make it go quick and I finally get slapped with that message we are currently discussing. Riot finally went full dictatorship like I thought they would. Don't get me wrong Riot, I fully support the system! To see such harsh penalties for the slightest tap on the wrist means that my reports to other toxic players actually do something this time!

Hence reform time! Over the course of the next week from last Wednesday I played my games in arams and normals with a strict set of rules in my mind. Say only the words seen bellow in every game and never communicate with my team mates BUT DON'T MUTE THEM!!!!!!!!!! This is important because think of this as a challenge to yourself. This is what I did:

IMPORTANT************** Every single game AFTER the 10 game chat restriction was finished I said "good luck and have fun" in the beginning and "gg wp" at the end. THAT. IS. IT. I didn't talk to a single team mate, I didn't brown nose or kiss @ss. BUT I didn't mute any of them and just watched chat. Of course some of them got pissed at me for almost every little thing (I'm jungler and support main) and then proceeded to rage more whenever I didn't respond. OF COURSE I got grouped with premades (dynamic que sooooo fun!!!!!!) and they tried their damndest to get a reaction out of me. All I did though, was read their rage messages in chat and laugh at the impending hell that awaits them. This punishment is legit and they are gonna feel the full brunt of it, hell I'd be lying if I said I wasn't giggling like little girl every time I saw toxic messages in the chat either to me or to other people. Even the opponents would sometimes taunt or rage out in all chat and I just shake my head 'cuase they have noooooooooo idea what they are in for.

THAT'S IT, finished my games with nothing more than those 2 phrases, reported anyone that was being "toxic" and just played my games going positive. Then finally my third game today I GOT A CHEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ON ASHE WHICH I PLAYED IN THE JUNGLE 'CAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah redemption is truly glorious.


Follow what I did and take that No Muting challenge. I think I played 20 games total since last Wednesday? Not exactly sure, but definitely nothing more than 30 games especially since Friday-Sunday I didn't play a single game (was out of state for business and work). If you say anything at all that is borderline toxic/passive aggressive consider your redemption a failure and add an extra day to your wait time. You can brown-nose if you want towards your team mates, not sure if it'll speed up the process but it is definitely not necessary. Just say "good luck and have fun" and "gg wp" THAT'S ALL!!! You don't have to wait a certain amount of time and you don't have to act fake as hell. All you have to do is prevent your damn fingers from typing anything other than in game info (drag, flash, tp, etc.), praises (gj, well done, nice, way to go, etc.), and the basic sportsmanship lines (gl hf, gg, gg wp). IF YOU SAY EZ THAT IS A FLAG!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if you are talking about an ezreal on your team or enemy team THAT IS A FLAG READ BY THE SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm just waiting for my chests to regenerate, stacking up key fragments, and of course reporting anyone that is displaying borderline toxic behavior. It doesn't even have to be directly toxic behavior, that's how strict this system is now. I literally reported a lucian in one of my games who said one line the entire game "ezpz" at the end. He got punished... :)

TAKE MY NO MUTING CHALLENGE AND TEST YOUR COMPOSURE!!! IF YOU CAN PREVENT YOURSELF FROM BEING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE/RAGING THAN YOU TOO WILL BE REDEEMED WITHIN A WEEK OR LESS!!!!!!!!!!
