I might be wrong but I remember reading that it was going to be stopped for the same reason junior members were going to be hidden, to avoid any antagonistic behaviour against any users

Maybe I'm wrong or maybe that policy changed, I don't have much sympathy for OP either way

No you're right, that was said earlier but it's back to the old ways now.

Guess people can't change that easily lol

It's a simple mathematical model: if you beat a player your Elo goes up by an amount determined by how much higher their Elo is than yours (scaling all the way down to 0 if you're basically picking fights with nobodies), and if you lose to a player you lose Elo according to how much lower their Elo is than yours. It's basically useless in a small sample size (<10 games), but for players who play thousands of games it gradually becomes an extremely accurate predictor of seeding.

Thanks for the explanation! Makes total sense and can see the merit in using it.

I like that, having gotten banned from League, the OP first admitted to Riot Support and the entire world that he also did a different thing that gets you banned from League, and is now working his way towards getting banned from ERA for defending the racist slurs that got him banned from League.

Howdy,

Fellow resettler & actual Riot employee here. I don't work in Player Behavior or Player Support (the two teams that would look at this sort of thing), but wanted to reach out and say I'm sorry you were banned, but also account sharing is strictly against the TOS for League.

Even if your friend wasn't toxic, the account sharing itself is bannable.

Sorry Matt.

edit: oo-wee I think my account should be verified first gahhh!

Oh hi! Can you share the secret formulae to become good at this game? I'm playing for over 3 years, and I'm horrible at the basic. I'm so bad, people think I'm trolling or feeding on purpose.

Thanks.

Riot just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about League (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in DOTA2 where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw a player over in League, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the League fanbase, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase any more skins, nor will they purchase any microtransactions. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Riot has alienated an entire fanbase with this move.

Riot, publicly apologize and unban MrMatt555 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I understood that reference.gif

Yup! That sums it up very well.

I liked that rule because the soon as a thread title is changed at the expense of a user that gives everyone permission to dog pile the OP, and any semblance of discussion is gone.

The thread ends up being pages of people laughing at the OP and how funny the thread title is, might as well close it down now

Bien fait

Don't share your accounts with other people ever

I'm pretty sure this is even bannable on Era

The dude thinks he did no wrong and then doubled down on the whole ape thing. He deserves to be roasted a bit.

That isn't his fault more than it's the current elo he is in (silver) consisting of planet of the apes ass players.

Insulting other players, blaming them for your losses (yes, having bad players on your team makes a loss more likely, but having bad players on the other team makes a win more likely. It evens out), and trying to cheat the system by having someone else play on your account. Man up and accept your ban.

Yeah I have no sympathy for the OP but at the same time I don't see any merit in a thread where the only purpose is to laugh at someone

I'll drop the point now as I don't want to derail the thread and everyone is enjoying themselves

I got banned once for the refer-a-friend boosting (I wanted those ww/twitch skins from it, this was years ago), just responded to it with an honest email and explained why I did it and why I was sorry for doing it, I got unbanned and never did it again.

Just be honest, explain why you did it, tell them you won't do it again (and don't do it again, otherwise you're going to get banned permanently and stay banned regardless next time).

Honesty and sincerity goes a long ways instead of trying to make up some elaborate excuse or not acting like you're actually sorry for doing it, only getting caught.

My dude, I am not sure I'm gonna even make Gold this season - but IIRC there's a damn good active League community on Resetera here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/league-of-legends-ot-whats-old-is-new-again.737/page-44

They seem like they might be more helpful than my gimmick Brand support advice. GL though!

I feel like one of the constants in life is League players insisting they have done nothing wrong while admitting to several bannable offenses and claiming it is no big deal.

Dropping casual slurs, blaming teammates, and account boosting? The ban seems fair .

Also why even boost when A. you didn't even do the work to rank up and B. You'll just drop down to your original mmr because you weren't even good to get the boosted rank in the first place.

P.S stop comparing people to monkeys and apes. shit is racist.
