As far as I know this "feature" of the LPP no longer exists.

After a certain level of sophistication it takes some pretty big brain power to get in that deep and the logic is, that if you can get them to work for you instead of breaking into your stuff, not only do they risk less, but they can work out the hole they had in their system. It's basically a bug report with a bonus.

I do find it funny that Nicolai said that valorant can give access to riot when installing literally anything on windows gives access to whoevers executable youre installing. Its almost like people think the kernel is some sort of vault that computers store your personal information in even though that couldnt be further from the truth.

I don't support exploits, but Rito's decision was utter dog shit and true to their nature, inconsistent. There have been many bugs in the game, the most famous ones being the Darius teleport pull that pentakilled and Jax's infinite empowered auto attacks, yet for these that were exploited by many, Rito issued a warning first, and if they did it after the warning, they'd be punished, yet for this, they just issued the ban straight up.

After 1 week I looked at him again and he climbed to platinum 1 in 23 games (3 wins and 20 losses) how is that even possible ? I made multiple reports for that account suggesting it was a riot account in which I got the response that I am delusional and they don't do that sort of thing and if I continue they will sanction me. How come after the end of the season, all of his games were deleted like a ghost account implying that nothing happened. I still have the pictures with his history and the game...

[@vnstyler61]

I might know why and could give you some explanations (cuz I myself transferred my account to another server last season and came back in preseason): 1. after switching a server, your history from the other server wont exist in the new server (basically a wipe out kinda) 2. by switching the server, your MMR will be transferred but not your rank in conclusion: he probably got boosted on another server, e.g. he got boosted on EUNE to master/GM/challenger, after transferring and playing his placements on EUW he got placed very high, even with a negative winrate, and due to his high MMR, he probably received a ton of LP but didnt lose a lot, which is why he could climbed from P2 to P1 regardless of a negative winrate at the start ofc I cant explain everything here, but over all these stuff should explain a lot of things Edit: if anyone is interested about my situation: 1 month before the season rewards, I got chat restricted which means I was basically excluded from ranked rewards besides I was nearly at my goal: diamond. As a bypass to still receive the rewards, I had to switch to another server since the honor level wont be transferred, so I switched from EUW to EUNE, I had to restart all ranked games but my MMR was still at P1/D4 level, which means I had insane LP gains in the beginning, but my prior match history from EUW got wiped out on EUNE, basically was non existant there, after hitting diamond on EUNE and receiving the rewards, I came back to EUW and my rank got resetted again but not my MMR, my old match history was still there cuz it didn't pass 3 months

[@billtalent1]

its so funny how riot has so little integrity that their cofounder literally cheats in ranked games lmao

[@Hjutner]

That's not cheating though. I don't know about the account sharing aspect as I had never heard of that (nor seen proof of it,) if that part is true then that part would obviously be against ToS. But duo queue/now flex queue exists and it's not cheating if you are carried by your better friend(s.) Boosting is considered to be when you pay someone to play on your account to get you to a rank, but being carried is also actually a skill that a lot of League players honestly just struggle with. Go look at Twitch streams all the time you'll see people playing shooters like CS:Go or Valorant or APEX, literally any competitive game, with their better friends and getting carried, nobody actually cares because it's a not actually an issue. Now do people utilize these loopholes to sell boosting services? Yes of course, but the problem there is them selling the service and not that they are carrying someone else. You can argue that people don't "deserve" their ranks if they get carried to them, but it doesn't really matter it's a game. They'll fall down in rank if they keep playing and everyone will know how good (or bad) they actually are after playing with them. People get so caught up in rank when it's not even a good judge of anything because not everyone plays rank or competitive modes in these games.

[@abnnizzy]

@@Hjutner But thats exactly what he did. Back in the days Flex/Duo Q's didn't existed, its a fairly new addition to the game. Jaximus played on Marc's account to boost his elo, hence why it was cheating. The big wall of text was unecessary.

A little extra information on the riot program stuff. Because of that NB3 situation, streamers can no longer request bans from Riot employees because he was abusing the system. Pinkward actually talks about it in one of his videos, after that controversy happened. Unsure if anythign has changed since then, but to my knowledge, they can no longer request bans

[@ChunkyCoffee]

Source? Other streamers (example Pants are Dragon has a video) have said they never had that power and that their riot contacts were legit expedited service and if anything were just to get people who deserve a ban get banned quicker, it just got expedited. Riot said that NB3 had no significant impact on their decision to ban Nubrac, because he was on their radar due to mass reports from many high tier players and streamers far before NB3 did anything. If you were on twitter at the time you would see a lot of streamers saying Nubrac was an absolute cancer to play with and should be banned for griefing.

[@CaptainDCap]

@@ChunkyCoffee And every single one of them was delusional. Nubrac has never had any account with a losing winrate, making it statistically IMPOSSIBLE for him to be a griefer.

cool story but you didn't need to include "for typing glhf", it's irrelevant lmao. Sounds like you want to gain sympathy from others. Also, "supp not healing" is ambiguous, and is likely not a bannable offense. It sounds like you're grasping at straws after having a bad game. Sure, the adc may have deserved to get banned, but you haven't mentioned anything about what you said. Even a single negative comment may revoke your appeal, even if your bot lane said a hundred negative comments about you. If you really wanted to get somebody reported and banned, the best way to do this is to not say anything, don't even try to defend for anyone, then give a full report at the end of the game using an outsider's bias.

[@rein8731]

​@@MikoYae I just found it funny that typing "glhf" was included in the reason why I got chat restricted, that's why I included it.

[@waffleman2211]

You have to be creative. I get aggressors banned all the time, never getting banned myself. The trick is to kill them with positivity, and make sure your insults are strange enough to not trigger any auto-detection system. Never use any slurs or swears, anything related to death, mental health, or discriminatory language. Some guy was raging at me in an ARAM, because he takes everything too seriously, and I called him a knuckle-dragging mouth breather. He came back at me with slurs. He got suspended the next day, and I have never had any action taken against my account ever, despite being reported all the time. All that shit is automated. I will never call out anyone in chat or spam ping question marks, but if you come at me, I will return fire gladly.

[@joelrussell8179]

They perma banned my account for being hacked while I was taking time off gaming to focus on getting my degree. Then proceeded to say it's my fault for not replying their email that gets duplicated by hackers to get your info. So not only they know their ''security'' system is flawed like hell and yet still use it to ban people. Needless to say, after weeks of fighting them via email I just gave up on this company and all their product.

I was perma banned for saying "you're mad lol" and when I tried to appeal it they acknowledged that's the only thing remotely toxic I said but they insisted that it was ban worthy. I still have the chat logs and emails with the Riot employee it's bull shit. Granted I had been punished before, and for good reason, but when I had gotten banned for 14 days I stopped saying anything that could have been considered toxic, but little did I know even saying "You're mad lol" or "You're so mad lol" (one of the two I can't recall) is perma ban worthy.

Wintraders and smurfs are probably the biggest issues in the game after enchanters balance.

[@Triqkshot]

What I love about leagues report system is when you tell someone to stop feeding, they flame you because they can’t take criticism and when you say something like fine keep being shit at the game then, you get a 2 week mute and the kid gets to go on with his life on ruining his teams games. Or even better when you have a feeding duo who loses the game by 13minutes and then refuses to surrender and then when you finally break and flame them you get a temporary ban instead of the people who are literally trapping people in games.

[@TheAxelFII]

you don't get banned for telling someone to stop feed or telling them to keep being shit at the game. You sound exactly like that guy that edited the chatlogs to make riot look bad. 100% sure you said a lot of other stuff to get banned. Also just stop torturing yourself if you can't handle playing from behind; Quitting league seems like the best idea.

[@ScyleOrnitier]

[@darkgrundi9543]

So you realize that when you are in the same elo as him, you are probably not better at the game than him and thus you talking from a highground is immensly idiotic as you probably have no clue about the game either. Also i really don't get why people even write and get themselves banned. I never write anything besides: let's go baron, botlane stop arguing and play the game, shut up, i split; or i'm defending myself when someone blames me: Fuck you top for not following you are trash at the game (followed by 6 questionmark pings), me: not my fault you run into 4 people thinking you are god, accomplish something, then you can start talking trash; Like seriously just complain in voicecomms with your friends or in front of your pc, just pretend you are a streamer or some shit. It's really not that hard to not run into a chatban.

[@QverSoul]

Once I got banned for ONLY saying "awww thats gay, I did no damage". And I wasnt toxic to anyone in my game. When I got banned and wanted to talk to a Riot Employee, I was unfairly given to a LGBTQ+ riot employee with a power complex and even when I told him I was "Talking about myself and that the context of the word I used was meant as a exaggerated form of stupid and that I was no where implying any homophobia" (Mind you this was before the age of politically correct and the SJW WOKE culture around season 5) he still wouldnt do anything about my appeal and if anything insulted and unfairly falsely accused me of being homophobic. When I tried going to another rioter to report his hateful attitude and appeal my 2 week ban I got the same guy another 2 times before getting sent to another Rioter who I was pretty sure was already informed by the power hungry Rioter and told me they would not be doing anything for me or looking into how the other Rioter insulted me. (though I wont lie, this probably caused me to be more toxic in the future where my next 2 week ban in season 9 was for insulting someone intentionally inting. Call me Dunkey I guess)

[@QverSoul]

I know some people may not believe me. You are free to do so as you wish. Because I know TONS of people use that "I only got banned for saying this" and most of the time its not true. However I do promise you that everything I typed was true. Like I am going to lie about using the 2014-15 definition of "gay" where most gamers just used it as a way to say stupid. Lastly, I wont deny. I've had plenty more toxic behaviors in the future where I would insult people who would intentionally feed and when I tried talking to Riot how I would be getting banned while the troll would get off scott free (which I kept a eye on on Op.gg and see he kept running down mid). I told them that "maybe if you guys did your job and stop being lazy , power tripping, keyboard warriors behind the façade of controlling toxicity. Then this situation would of never happened and I wouldn't be getting a 2 week ban"

[@asasasas-tt9zj]

yeah i once got banned for writing my supports name "kys please" i was NOT pleased to get a 10 day ban for asking someone which champ they want to play... and them gloating that they got me banned after reasoning with support i did manage to be only banned for 3 days+10 days chatban... because "other games indicate a negative attitude"... then simply resetting my honor 5

I got tagged for saying -- "you pushed slowly into him" " getting zoned here" -- then I reach out riot -- they said "I’ve made sure to look over the chat logs where you played as XinZhao. What you said wasn't really bad. Most likely the system took the phrase "you pushed slowly into him" as an innuendo , so I would recommend being a little more careful when it comes to wording." So system kinda strict and has flaws -- you have to be really carefull when wording :/

Wonder why the boss of Riot thinks he has to be a good at the game when in fact he has to be good at leading a company. It would be actually much more genuine when he turned out to be a silver player and takes pride in his elo and plays for the fun of it rather than cheating his way to challenger.
