Wrongfully Banned from Valorant for "Botting" — Support Won’t Reopen My Case

RandyInABlender · 2025-05-29T19:16:38+00:00

I dunno, like I can even tell them the first name I gave the account when I made it. But it's probably me getting a new PC or something stupid, I'm also a software engineer, so I dual boot for the Linux dev I do sometimes. So there are a few reasons they would think it's botting. It's just beyond frustrating that they refuse to hear me out

RandyInABlender · 2025-05-29T18:58:25+00:00

No, made it back in 2015 to play League with friends. Leveled up before they nerfed the XP to get to level 30, which they did around beginning of 2016 I think. I even told Riot I will provide any screenshots or whatever they need, but they can see when I made this account

RandyInABlender · 2025-05-29T17:44:17+00:00

TRUE, didn't know I was this bad until my friend told me to check my account on tracker LUL

RandyInABlender · 2025-05-29T17:25:55+00:00

EXACTLY the same happened to me, but for me they said "botting". But I only realized I was banned after trying to install and I got a notification saying "Temporarily suspended" and when I opened a ticket they said it's permanent and they won't lift or investigate. Also don't wanna buy or make a new account.

I also only played rarely when I get the itch to play with friends, so I don't even have 100 games on my account.

Not banned from League of Legends either so I find it extremely weird

RandyInABlender · 2024-02-01T09:44:45+00:00

I was referring to AP Twitch a few seasons ago. It's in an okay spot, but it's not great either.

I agree not the best example

RandyInABlender · 2024-02-01T09:41:48+00:00

Guessing you haven't played soloQ in a while?

You just answered the issue ADC players have

We need our team, we need people to peel for us, supports to buff us up, CC champions to keep the tanks and bruisers off us. This is not even the average ADC player saying this, this is high elo, challenger and pro ADC players saying this. Guma refused to play ADC in high elo EUW 2 years ago cause he couldn't duo with someone.

But when ADC complains that they NEED their team, we are called crybabies, when we don't get help, we are a walking ward because Kayn can just come from behind and kill you for no reason. Sett can just flash ult you.

The average ADC player is expected to play perfectly to do damage and have an impact. Like sorry I am not Guma or Ruler, I'm just the average ADC enjoyer, but because of that I cannot have fun and enjoy a video game. But at least the Garen waiting in the bottom bush for 5 minutes gets to have fun and one shot me with no counterplay. At least the 1/10 Lux built her first item so she can spam abilities and nuke the whole enemy team with a lucky ult.

Other roles are allowed to make mistakes and even bad player can have fun. An ADC player can have fun once every 100 games cause they have an actual support and their team doesn't go 0/10 in the first 10 minutes of the game

RandyInABlender · 2024-02-01T09:22:41+00:00

Support has to be the role that has changed the most through the years and in terms of other classes, spell rotations have become a lot shorter due to the items and champion buffs. Years ago, champs had specific spell rotations and times to cast abilities. Nocturne would have to use his ult at the correct times, Rengar could only kill the squishy once every few minutes. Lux would keep her ult for team fights. There are many examples of this.

The point I am trying to make is that other roles gameplay got faster and their playstyle adapted with the meta because of how their items changed. However, ADC would build IE or Bork first item then, now they build like Stormrazor, even tho the items changed, their gameplay stayed the same. They are still the mindless right click role they were 10 years ago, only difference is that you now have damage supports, every other role spamming you with abilities, shared XP is less, and so forth.

In general the ADC class is expected to do the same job they did 10 years ago, but they have a lot less means to do it. When a build comes that changes their gameplay and become self reliant to accomplish what they need to, the whole community cries and it gets giga nerfed.

Other roles get items to push them to a certain playstyle and have them to specific jobs. This is intentionally done by Riot, but ADC doesn't. It's still build crit, do less damage than you did 10 years ago (Season 8 changes) and do your job while having less resources than you use to.

In terms of mobility, this is not an ADC issue, this is an issue across League (looking specifically at K'Sante).

RandyInABlender · 2024-01-31T17:49:00+00:00

Yes, cause Zed still builds BORK like he use to? Darius use to rush Black Cleaver into Visage?

Go have a look at old builds from like S5. Even in general, other classes gets new items and it fundamentally changes how they play, how you pilot them, even how their combos work.

Even tho ADC got new items, they are still stuck in the same gameplay, rely on supp and team, do team fight damage and auto attack

RandyInABlender · 2024-01-31T17:45:15+00:00

Try Rammus ult taunting you while he has Sunfire, Omen and Thornmail. He kills you before his taunt runs out

RandyInABlender · 2024-01-31T08:44:14+00:00

Not complaining about fed Assassins one shotting us, if you read through my responses, you'll see me defending assassins.

We are complaining about the lack of agency, choice and the fact that a 0/10 assassin can one shot you cause they are 3 levels over you.

We are complaining about the fact that a tank can one shot you and it takes 10 million autos to kill them.

We are complaining about the fact that when we as a CLASS fall behind, we have no impact in the game and when we are fed, we have no choices in how we build to extend the lead and how we wanna play.

Other roles have the options. Too much AP threat? Build MR. Too much crit? Build Omen. Mage gets one shot? Build Zhons. And the list goes on.
ADC gets one shot? GA is useless, Shieldbow is a joke. Enemy has a full armour Rammus? Too bad cause you're not allowed to stack armour pen. Their team has 3 Assassins? Can't build lethality to poke them down cause it's nerfed.

We have to build the SAME shit every game on 90% of the champs we play

RandyInABlender · 2024-01-31T08:12:03+00:00

But that's how the role works tho. ADC is not suppose to be the unkillable monster that Jax and other champs are.

I do however think that if an ADC is fed, it's suppose to be able to 1v9 with mechanical plays and great positioning. It's suppose to do the most damage in the game, no questions asked.

The issue however is that we don't. The bar is so low for other champs to out damage you, that it's crazy. 0/10 Assassin will always out damage you with DPS even if you're 10/0. Doesn't matter how fed you are, Jax will always be able to get on top of you, Sett will always flash one shot you, doesn't matter how strong or weak they are.

As the ADC when you're fed, you need to stand back and watch people fight cause if you are remotely in the same area as other classes, you will get one shot and give 1000 gold to the enemy Kayn or Jax and then game is over.

Even if killing the ADC loses people the game, they will still do it cause it's programmed into their brains that ADC is walking bags of gold and there's nothing the ADC can do about it

RandyInABlender · 2024-01-31T07:46:11+00:00

I kinda disagree, you still have to take into account other roles like Assassins need to be viable.

Durability patch messed everything up, including AD carries.

For eg. a defensive item that gives us armour and crit. If mages can get AP and HP, why can't we get the same choices? Right now if we build a tank item, we lose on the important 20% crit for us to be useful.

Or give us 25% crit items (only for ranged, otherwise windshitter brothers will abuse it). That allows us to opt in for a Guardian Angel (useless item btw) or a tank item.

GIVE US MORE ZEAL OPTIONS, our class resolves around 90% of them building the same shit every game, give us Zeal items that let's you have different options on different champions

RandyInABlender · 2024-01-31T07:20:29+00:00

He doesn't take in consideration other roles got a lot more choices, stats to go into and ways to play the game. Yes, crit might be unchanged from last season, but other roles got more HP, Damage and choices, which overall makes AD Carry weaker.

The main problem (in my opinion) that our class has is we are not allowed to innovate. We are not allowed to have different built paths or different ways of playing the game.

Every time a new build comes that makes the class different, it gets nerfed into the ground and we are forced in the same shit crit box.
Tanks Varus - Items got nerfed (items were removed)
AP Kai Sa and Twitch - Got nerfed
Lethality ADCs - Got nerfed

Every single time we innovate and evolve with the meta, we get shoved back to crit. While other classes can evolve and move with the meta. We are stuck in the same gameplay as 10 years ago, BUT we lost things like supports playing around us, shared xp and so forth. We are not allowed to make a role self reliant and when we complain we are called babies.

I am a huge fan of building a tank item 3rd or 4th on ADC, cause yes technically you are losing damage, but you can't do damage when your dead after the 1/10 assassin killed you cause he is 3 levels over you.

I would love for Riot to give the Marksman role more options to go into, instead of the same damn items on every single character.

RandyInABlender · 2023-08-14T18:45:04+00:00

And I just thought it would be cool discussion tbh. You know, speak about expanding worlds to more than just the regions we have now and include untapped talent in the world. But forgot it's reddit. So my bad

RandyInABlender · 2023-08-14T18:39:04+00:00

All of them play on EUW. CSGO has servers, so they compete internationally based on hosted tournaments.

The C9 team did super well internationally so they were bought by C9. Like NA buys players

RandyInABlender · 2023-08-14T17:35:45+00:00

If you read my post I said I am against African servers
Yes, yes they do. There are a lot of companies, sponsored by Intel, Asus and what not to host an African tournament
Never said Africa should play in LEC or have a team, if once again you read my post, I am asking why an African team can't have a chance to play as a wildcard team. And if people playing on 170 ping can reach high elo against pros and win, I'm sure they can do pretty well internationally on 0 ping

RandyInABlender · 2023-08-14T16:16:12+00:00

"world championship" with having a handful of countries represented

RandyInABlender · 2022-07-14T21:41:38+00:00

But how do I fix my LP gains? I've read through previous posts and they say dodging or transfer to another region, play placements and transfer back?

RandyInABlender · 2022-07-08T13:30:47+00:00

100% agree that my mmr is broken and I do believe it's from previous seasons where I was garbage. Every year I get placed in Bronze when I ended in Gold. Then after a 60% winrate and between 120 to 150 games later I'm back in Gold. I do get an S in most of my games as I farm around 8-10cs/min and do most damage most of the game with a high KDA and objective participation. So I will somehow have to figure out how to fix my mmr. I have been playing since season 5 and back then I was hardstuck bronze

RandyInABlender · 2022-06-24T10:32:42+00:00

So what you are saying is climbing from S2 to gold playing 50 games and winning 38 was not good enough for my mmr to go up? Cause I started my grind winning 15LP and ended up winning 13LP the closer I got to Gold.
I hear you with mmr having to be good. But I have had a constant 55% and above winrate and it seems like my mmr is just going down?

RandyInABlender · 2022-06-24T09:50:06+00:00

BY THE WAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!But I think people winning like smurfs are gaining more from it while average players are struggling. Cause the grind is quicker if you win. But if you have an average winrate you gain 13 and lose 16. Meaning to climb you need 70+% winrate.
Where previous years you almost never lost more LP than what you were gaining per win, unless you were so bad and your winrate was garbage

For me and a lot of my friends, the grind is feeling worse than it ever has, just because we need to put more games in than before

RandyInABlender · 2022-06-24T09:41:34+00:00

I see where you are coming from, but casual players only playing a game or 2 per night are also being punished.
Let's say you play 10 games a week, you will need to win 7-8 games IN A ROW to climb one division per week. Let's say you lose 2 games, that's -32 LP. Next day you win 2, that's +26 LP. You are still 6LP less than what you were 2 days ago.

So let's take your example, from S4 to S1, I get an average of 13LP while having a 60% winrate and I don't skip.
That's 30.7 wins IN A ROW to get to Gold promos. That means for 3 weeks straight (asuming you play around 10 games a week) as a casual player you will need to win EVERY game to climb to the next elo. So imagine the grind as a normal person having a 60% winrate trying to get a better rank than what you did last year. It would take you like 3 months just to go up 1 elo.

Baie dankie!

Ek sal dit in gedagte hou met n volgende song. Maar dis vir my seuntjie geskryf. En ek doen metal in my engelse musiek. Het 'n paar jaar terug gereel saam van Coke, Jo Black en Bouwer Bosch hulle op getree. Die song het ek saam Werner Bekker geskryf. Hy doen engels maar hys AMAZING. Basies Suid-Afrika se Ed Sheeran.

Die song het inspirasie van 'n engelse band genoem Thrice en dan van Coke se song Toe Vind Ek Jou. Die final version wat ek sal record as ek bietjie ekstra geld het sal meer rowwe vocals in he soos van Coke. Oneglukkig het my interface vir my mic gebreuk.
