How RIOT GAMES Banned Players For Weird Reasons 

i quit league and u should too xd, NOPERS

@@Akuretaki_Nikolay 5 years i think it's imposo

Can u make these video on dota too.please

No

Jokes on you I play trundle

yes, im feel sad to see this problem in LOL, i though LOL doesnt have any problem like my main game MOBA ( DOTA 2).

yea. so now you can get banned for playing unorthodox? i remember somebody threatening to ban me coz me and my friend were adc/support top lane or when i take a bruiser midlane or a mage toplane. ''it's not the meta.'' one of the things i really disliked later on people telling you how play the game which kinda ruined the fun for me.

as far as i know, its not in the game anymore (exactly because of the nb3 situation)

DOTAAAA! still DotA1 is better than LoL

@@harryraam9566 are you talking about the "game" or community. Because this is topic more about community. And i think DOTA is not better than LOL for that.

As far as I know this "feature" of the LPP no longer exists. It was actually the Nightblue3 controversy that caused Riot to no longer do this for streamers as it was being presented in an abusable light rather than having streamers act as strong pillars in the community and encourage people to behave better.

Nightblue has a large head but a small brain

I think they still have some way of writing a ticket that gets answered faster than if a regular player tried to contact Riot. Tyler1 has implied that he'd contact someone over trolls in his games, and the Pinkward example in the video was somewhat recent.

I find it fine if the player is actually trolling.

@@alex2005z Yep. Though the problem is, if they're actually "friends" there's a possibility that the riot employee will do what the crybabh streamer would love and overreact with a punishment

never underestimate what a redditor can do

He was probably banking on the court of public outrage.

Wut’s kinda sad is that ppl actually edit their chatlogs and post it hoping they’re justified but ive seen streamers get banned and their chatlogs r like a list from rarely 1 but 2 or 3 games oftentimes (unless one game was rlly bad like gamergirl katarina (i dont remember actual username))

@@johnnyboy3410 run?

As someone who works at customer service, (not for riot) customers will do this kind of shit on a regular basis

infact, google does it if you search up enough technical terms

even the givermnet does it, the offer great hackers the option of goverment jobs or jail time

Essentially bug bounties with a paycheck. 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. A malicious browser addon is more likely to steal your credit card information than a kernel level driver as the former has way fewer security checks than the latter on any operating system (and equal access to whatever you do in the browser)

Also acts exactly that way.

what a crybaby, using a broken champ and then crying about getting shit on. If there's a bug, report the bug not the player

Ofcourse he has pink hair and pronounce

That is rude ofcourse 𝙉𝙊𝙏

Lol, funnily enough, that's actually true. I don't know him, but by his voice, I wouldn't be able to watch his stream for more than two seconds. He's got a voice that instantly irritates me and his laugh is one of those where he thinks he's very funny when he's not, and it's just plain irritating. 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.

God ol dodgy MRC MRL.

Post them on the league of legends reddit

Like an wise old man once said... JUST DO IT!!!

Just expose the cunts, they only care about skins / your money/ lcs/worlds/msi nowadays anyways.

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

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.

@@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.

in 2012....unfair to talk about today's riot based on a dumb guy in his mid 20s 10 years ago. The founders also completely ripped off DOTA so they werent really on the moral high ground back in the day. They are respectable today but keep in mind that that shit happened a decade ago

he didn't want to ask his team to just change his Elo?

Ngl he's the cofounder so it's kinda useless to do anything at that point

you can get banned for spamming

@@xristoskoumpourlis1614 True, the problem is if 4 premades decide to bully the last player by trolling and flaming him, all he can do is mute them and be prisoned in the game until it ends.

@@ehsign5567 But why would you answer to 4 premades? There is litterally no logic behind your behaviour. The second you know they are premades you just mute them and play the game the best you can/just do dumb shit that isn't reportable/watch some videos while pretending to play. Report them afterwards with writing what they did in the report so it has a higher chance to get reviewed by a person and not a bot.

@@ehsign5567 How...are you in a game with 4 premade? That's the only number that can't be a premade. Four Also muting and then being "prisoned" in the game is not an issue for riot to solve. Those are online multiplayer actions from other individuals. No game service can stop that kind of interaction. Says it in the TOS and ESRB rating lol.

same, I also got punished because I typed too much when I was getting flamed by an idiot. He was saying a bunch of stupid things and all I was doing and responding saying why what he was saying didn't make logical sense. And when I talked with RIOT they told me I was punished of typing too much, and I was like, and??? You know people can just mute right? and What about the guy hard flaming me? Oh, nothing, ok, sounds fair.

Yep, I remember the bans. They banned a shit ton of challenger players

@@johnpauljonesisabadass8134 at least they achieved both The hardest rank to obtain Challenger and IRON 4 hahaha

xD its not like league accounts are free lmao , the only crybabies are the ones that get offended by insults in a game chat owo

@@jenzu4229 Found the person that got banned

@@spinninglotus7252 we found the Guy that uses " XD " and " OwO" thinking that its funny

@@TheNerd4565 Malding.

@@jenzu4229 no no no, you dont understand. People like that ruin my games by making my teammates afk/play badly. And therefore I suffer from those idiotic actions. Obviously, I dont want to have to play with people who lower my chances of winning on purpose.

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.

@@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. (Considering his MO of literally repeating the same strategy every single game and doing so at a positive win-rate, on stream) Playing the game differently does not a griefer make. I still hated his stream, though. He's got the personality of a wet rag.

small brain nb3

good letting streamers request ban is stupid, there is a report option for everyone to use

I mean they fact they could do this in the first place is an issue already

The two examples provided make sense though? I'm glad some people can have more impact than the shit report system.

@@robingomez9319 I'm talking about the Out of meta thing. Not inting or griefing, but want to add a deferent flare to a champion. Zwag for example would've been reported the world over by nightblue if he was in his games

​@@mr.boomguyI got a 60% wr plat account banned for playing off meta. Riot support undid the ban but low key told me to to stop playing off meta. Dogshit company

​@@robingomez9319 nah, the Teemo mid thing wasn't fair at all

I once got a 2 week ban for an ARAM where I asked everyone to report our trolling afk Xayah for ruining the game...since then Im just waiting for it to happen again and get perma banned for trying get people who break leagues rules punished.

got a 14 days ban for typing "gank top pre 6 pos" i wanted to type pls. Getting the ban notification felt so random until i read the "pos"

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.

​@@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. When I wrote "supp not healing," I meant it literally because as Soraka, there isn't much to do in fights other than healing. The worst thing I've said on that game is "stop crying about not getting ganked when ur overpushing, get over it." Also, if my original intention was to gain sympathy, I would have made the story longer and less vague.

@@rein8731 fair enough, I just thought you didn’t include enough info so I thought it was an attempt to gain symathy, but if the healer was Soraka, then that’s a problem. Thanks for the explanation

I hate nightblue and pretty much every streamer mentioned in this video with the pull to get people banned by DM, I'm not trying to defend him at all but if you had to play 1 game with Nubrac teemo on your team you would want him permabanned

@@sharpiefumes can confirm I have played with him and against him, its tilting both ways

pinkward seems really salty and the fact that he goes above and beyond to report the player + making a rant about it on stream is kinda cringe :((

@@cimcimnig I think this clip shows the wrong side of him. He seems salty and cringe in this clip but hes usually wholesome with just a side of cringe

Does the exploit give you that big of an advantage besides being able to camp in the enemies jungle before they arrive?

@@nexuhs. Well it gives him an Early advantage to get vision in the enemy jungle or get some free gold from first strike if you have it. It isnt intended and he is going out of His way to use it

​@@alvemaster Hardly fair to really call it an "exploit" if it's been a publicly-known and shared tactic in the community for over 5 years that hasn't been fixed despite a likely huge amount of bug reports and public showcases of it. That's like not fixing the rusty hinges on your door for years and then getting mad that somebody who opened your door particularly hard just so happened to be the one who broke it. Like, sure, technically "they broke it" but it was your negligence that made the situation possible and anyone you invited into your home could've done it.

I appreciate hearing that, Cosmo!

Most game developers aren't nearly as good at their own games as their hardcore fans are. Game developers got shit to do, they can't no life their game for 16 hours a day every day like their customers can.

@@tyler7637 2 years later but ... if thats the case, why just not make an account with the rank that you want ? this makes no sense at any point, this only makes sense if he was trying to prove something to someone ( for example , bragging about being good or that the game is not a mess in the way that you could climb if you were good enough , which league is not.)

@@alexandreiss0agr276 Completely fair point, and trust me, I have absolutely zero affection for Riot developers. Riot does stupid stuff constantly. I was just coming from the point of view of being a challenge/speedrunner (a pretty bad one though), but in challenge runs and speedruns for games you can see the easiest example of what I meant. When a game developer watches a speedrun for their own game they're almost always absolutely stunned and blown away by the level of skill on display, and if you ask any of them they will freely say that the community is way way better at their game then they are and they had no idea the game could be played with that much skill. Yeah they spent thousands of hours making the game, but the players have spent thousands of hours just playing it, makes a big big difference.

Gotta love the "I got banned for this crap" *Shows normal chat instead of what really got them banned*. Guy, if you get banned, you got it coming from long, get too many reports on the same stuff and you'll eventually get muted/banned. And I know this because I've played this game for around 5 years (on and off, 2.5 years if I count approximately when I played consistently).

Not in tournaments but in ranked, Clash and normals. At least not legal for tournaments hosted by Riot or supported by Riot (ex: Red Bull's local tournaments) For other tournaments you need to ask the host

Overlays have never been legal in any kind of yournament AFAIK, unless your TO says otherwise

I bet that: unless any given tool is made by the parent company that owns the thing you are "modding" most official tournaments would not allow it.

Mute exists? And yes they dont care who's what, they'll ban u if ur toxic

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.

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.

​@@alexjulius69you must love american schools then with no tolerance bullshit

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.

Oh no, someone's making you play the game. Ahhhh. SCARY. You try to ff, they say no, you play. Cope

Those fuckers holding the entire lobby hostage after going in 0 8 in lane are by far the worst

Just quit man, or play another gamemode if you find this too often, trust me, it's better than raging all/most of your games.

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.

Thank you for the constant big support my friend 😎

Riot actually makes a difference between exploits that provides unfair advantage and "skill glitches", as I believe they called them. For example, the "Caitlyn E + Q combo" was initially never intended, but was left in the game as it is a healthy skill expression in the game. Same for Riven's animation cancels, which ended up making her wonderful for players wanting a high skill cap champion. On the other hand, glitches like this one for Karthus or the one that would allow you to use abilities on all players regardless of their locations were straight up banned for "glitch exploit", as they didn't improve the player's skill expression on a champion and offered an unfair advantage

@@NekoKatto I see what u mean. I thought since riot didn't fix the issue yet and didn't disable Karthus - it's not the player's fault for using any means to win as long as the player doesn't use any cheats or hacks or the like. I completely forgot about the bug that used to let you target everyone - anyone abusing it in more than a game to climb are definitely cheating. From Skill-glitches like Riven or Caitlyn to this Karthus bug to the infinite hitbox bug - there's definitely a spectrum here. For a bug this old, Riot should at least make a statement about it's exploitation so that people using it at least know that it's officially considered as cheating.

I agree getting banned for using a glitch is stupid. Its the devs fault and instead of punishing the player they could just fix the glitch.

@@astyutechick7980 Their communication about those exploits is definitely not the best, can't argue with that :D

@@skeley6776 It's not as easy as "just fix it", otherwise there would be no bug in any game. When players find glitches and test them, it is ok, you won't get banned for that. The issue is when players repetitively abuse those bugs in order to get an unfair advantage. This falls under the scope of "exploiting", and is technically the same as cheating. Saying otherwise is like blaming the police for not arresting someone before they commited a crime. At the end of the day, players are not required to use glitches, and it is common sense to understand when something isn't supposed to work a certain way, you shouldn't abuse of it

imagine how many people got banned but never documented or popular

Nubrac would sit in mid invisible the entire early game qued as support, leaving his ADC in a 2v1 and making his mid lose experience. This isnt "unorthodox", its pure troll. Not to mention neither the adc, nor the midlaner signed up for this playstyle, he is forcing it on them.
