The Player Behavior System Needs A Change (Written by the most banned player in the game)
Before we get into things, I'm a veteran player, I've played the game for 7 years with no problems until as of late 2014. I was once high d1 before masters came out, and yes, I've become a toxic monster because of the way the community is. But I feel as if my experience in the game with probably over 20,000 games of league played in my life gives me some legitimate grounds to say something about the development of the player behavior system. I am not saying that I should be unbanned because of a player behavior system flaw, Most of my 42 permanent bans are well deserved.
Toxicity is 9 times out of 10 an outlet for angry or upset players, whether they are upset at real life or a game. Lately, as of the end of 2014, toxicity is at an all time high. Not only is toxicity at an all time high, but the entire internet at this point has grown to be too sensitive and honestly at this point I can't stand being part of any community.
Lets review in my opinion which is one of the most unwarranted PERMANENT bans I've gotten in my life. http://pastebin.com/3pQPAkCN [pastebin isnt visible apparently] Now this excerpt is probably the most toxic thing I said after the whole game rolled out and I was more or less infuriated and had enough of the match > C H: ur bad C H: and when I say bad C H: I mean bad as shit C H: beyond bad C H: atrocious C H: you need to uninstall
Now not saying this is an okay thing to say to your teammates but this was the only thing that I said which warrants a chat restriction at most. I was permanently suspended for this game, and many others as I've had over 40 accounts banned. Back in season 3 you could literally say anything you wanted with little to no punishment, but note that SO MUCH LESS toxicity was actually present back in season 3. In CS:GO you can get away with saying the most racist, sexist, hate speech you could possibly think of, but honestly I see more toxicity in league.
I'm sorry but people get angry when their team is thick-headed and uncooperative, you wanna know what they do in a working environment to someone who's thick headed and uncooperative? They fire them, because being thick-headed and uncooperative is just as bad as being an asshole. In a team game where nobody listens to each other anymore, and the fact that riot is so uptight about how people act in the game (Ever since Riot Lyte had a say in the behavior team) that they feel trapped. When you feel trapped, you get angry. The uncooperative players continue to see the light of day when they can get away with whatever they want and the problem never gets solved. The more cause for someone to get angry, the more toxicity surfaces in game. Back when everyone was cooperative (season 1-4) there was a huge decline in toxicity. Personally I've grown to be a VERY angry player, and I tend to lose my patients with people quick, but I give them a chance and try to ask politely, and when that doesn't work I don't want to play the game anymore.
The problem at this point will never be solved and everyone's telling me to go find a new game to enjoy. But I stick around for the amazing champions I do like (Ahri, Irelia, Renekton, Lulu, Graves, Jinx, Lucian, Syndra, Vayne, Gnar, etc.). I stick around because I played this game throughout my entire teenage years (since release in 2009). So I just continue to get new accounts and end up banned because my team wants to not cooperate. League saved my life in a way, and it helped me connect with some of the coolest people on the internet, including the girl who lives with me now and I plan to marry one day. So when I run around and say stuff like "I don't care about the game, I have the WORLD RECORD for permanent bans on league". It's a bunch of bullshit that I don't care, because I do. I miss the game for what it used to be, and I keep giving the game a chance, and riot a chance to fix the game. I may be a toxic monster spun out of control at this point but I really do care about the game.
Sincerely,
