Banned for roaming as support and doing poorly

Edit 1: replays since people think kda shows everything: http://www.replay.gg/search/na/victormarte

Edit 2: If you're going to downvote, at least provide a reason why. I've already rebuttaled most arguments that attempted to prove I intentionally fed, and if video evidence isn't enough, IDK what is. It looks like people are outright downvoting because I don't follow the meta, even when I inform my team of my strat and they agree. Well, sorry to tell you, I'm going to continue to do it until I'm back in diamond, I see nothing wrong doing this, otherwise, tell me why it's wrong.

tldr: Received a 14 day ban recently for "intentionally feeding." Emailed Riot Support; the only evidence they provided was that I went 1-6-0 in a game where I played support, no chat logs. They stated they will not overturn this.

Proof: -Support chat logs (in order): http://imgur.com/a/CGdd4 http://imgur.com/a/ZUBPq http://imgur.com/a/Wvry6

-Game in question: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2240511799/41069320?tab=overview

Anyone know what I should do? I'm a support main who roams a lot, and bad games do happen...not sure what to do. I have never intentionally fed or threatened to, in the history of playing since S3'ish.

Edit: looks like this is a problem for others: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/kIO6TyFE-roaming-as-sup-for-extended-periods-of-time-or-supporting-other-lanes-cannot-be-a-bannable-offense?show=flat

Let's look at all the bad games you've had recently and see if there's a pattern.

3/14/9 as Bard 2/15/1 as Teemo 5/15/6 as Kog'Maw 3/9/6 as Darius 9/13/16 as Darius 0/8/7 as Trundle 3/14/10 as Soraka 2/19/28 as Soraka 1/6/0 as Soraka (this is the one they provided as an example) 1/13/8 as Bard 0/10/18 as Bard 2/10/7 as Darius 9/20/16 as Teemo 3/13/4 as Trundle 5/11/7 as Kog'Maw 2/10/1 as Nasus 3/10/1 as Lux 1/11/3 as Ziggs

We can stop here, those are the worst matches in the last 3 weeks. 18 out of your 43 matches. I don't know how far back Riot looks into to see a pattern but they most certainly didn't ban you JUST because of the 1/6 Soraka match. As a Platinum 5 player you have the skills to not die an absurd amount of time and yes everyone has bad games every once in a while but this list is nearly half of your played games in the last 3 weeks and clearly shows a pattern that strongly suggests intentional feeding.

I had a look at some of your other recent games, and I have to say that this is a well deserved punishment. You very often die in the double digits, and usually take your first death in the first five minutes. When you play support it is very obvious that you are anywhere but bot lane where you are expected to be. Even in the game you linked you died at 4 minutes either in mid lane or the enemy jungle. There is absolutely no reason to be dying that far away from your ADC that early in the game.

They're probably wondering how you went a whole game without a single assist.
