Tribunal Cases of the Weak – Vol 12

February 19th, 2013 Leave a comment

Welcome to Tribunal Cases of the Weak.  Every week you’ll get the best/weirdest/worst Tribunal cases.  As always, purple text is the accused, green text is the teammates, and red is the opponents. The title of each case is a link to the full Tribunal case, but don’t click through unless you’re ready for NSFW language.  Unsure of what the Tribunal is or how it works? Read Riot’s FAQ.

 

Case #5: The Dark Child

Playing Annie as a support is certainly unorthodox, but with team approval, anything can work.  It can be hard though, to tell if someone is just being unorthodox, or if they are trolling.  It’s always reassuring, though, when the player seems smart and mature:

annie2

Not the most encouraging sign.  Here is Annie’s score:

annie1

Not the best score, looks like she’s trolling.  What does this Annie have to say for herself?

annie3

Isn’t that supposed to calm people down?  In this case, it seemed to lead to a lot of raging, intentional feeding and attempts to solo Baron.

PunishWarning

 

 

Case #4: The Soon to Be Exiled

You know the slash commands, like /joke or /dance.  This player had some commands of his own:

riven1

Obviously he’s trolling.  If you read through the game, you’ll find verbal abuse along with a healthy dose of feeding.  But there was more:

riven2

Yes, that’s a real channel; streaming the trolling of new players.  The only thing worse than this guy may be his viewers.

PunishWarning

 

 

Case #3: The True Terror of the Void

This is a strange case.  Most trolls either believe they are innocent and are righteous in their defense, or they maliciously harass opposing players.  This troll trolls himself:

cho1

This player is not only asking for a report, he’s providing the necessary behavior.  He fed and he went afk.  If that wasn’t enough:

cho2

And it worked, he got reported.  And then the Tribunal gave him what he must have really wanted:

PunishTime Ban

 

 

Case #2: The Defeatist

This player created a self-fulfilling prophecy.  The moment he started losing, he thought there was no way to win:

teemo2

And with his behavior, he ensured it:

teemo1

Needless to say, his teammates didn’t appreciate his fatalism.

PunishTime Ban

 

Case #1: Worst Troll of the Week

This player didn’t get the lane he wanted.  This is what he had to say:

shen2

Believing that most low level players are “meta sheeps” certainly doesn’t help him get an unorthodox role.  The reports detail his behavior:

shen1

And what is his explanation for it?

shen3

Ah, yes.  The old “I’m banned on my main” excuse.  This is one type of player that the Tribunal quickly bans:

PunishTime Ban

 

 

PERMABAN OF THE WEEK (NSFW)

This player consistently crosses the line between joke and harassment.  In fact, he may not know where the line is at all:

KAYLE1

That’s some adult material.  And in another game is this fun gem:

lux2

And more:

lux3

Well, this troll got what he had coming.  After a series of Warnings and Time Bans, he ended up with:

Punishpermaban

 

That’s all for this week!  We’ll be back next week with another round of Tribunal Cases of the Weak.

    well a filter is no reason for you to curse a lot :) i curse but in a fun type of context with my enemy team and is all fine. curse to harass that is different@Nagynorbie

    I don’t get why people are banned for cursing. I mean there’s a mature language filter for a reason. If you don’t like foul words, turn it on.

    All thos does is go to prove how retarded riot is. All theses cases clearly have players behind them who deserve to get banned, either time or perma, and the tibunal folks agree. But bcs it is their first offense or whatever “punishment, warning”. Really damn retarded. What it does is prove that you can troll as much as you want and no matter what you do, wether its feed, flame leave etc you will not get banned, they will send you a warning first. There is no way to express how pissed this makes me or how much i hate riot. LoL truly is one of the greatest games in the world, but poor management leads to literally millions of trolls, and riot are, for some reason which i cannot understand, unwilling to fix it, which I must ad is not even hard. Bcs of this I and several others quit playing. If riot dont do something about it, they will soon go from the biggest game in the world to the smallest, the average joe simply wont be able to take it

    You think i never try whole game to win? I never pushed accept surrender on ranked and always try to do anything even if my whole team is 0/5 all. Dont lie that if you dont do something wrong you wont get report cos trolls in this game will just report you for anything. People in this game dont know that this is about kills and deads and for example i die ONCE and everyone – Report “…..”. And they do this after game. In game i dont even talk to anyone cos even for asking to report whole game AFK kid im getting ban (that was the reason). Dont tell that i dont have honor to finish game, to flame or something cos im not doin anything of this.

    @Helgi
    Lol, completely agreed with you. These guys aren’t trolls, these guys are just idiots that should be insta-banned and never play again.

    You think those guys are “Trolls” NONE of them are anything close to being a “troll”, you should learn the definition of “troll” before you accuse someone of being it.

    People dont understand how the tribunal works read through it, if you excessivly curse youre usually punished if you feed INTENTIONALLY you are usually punished if you troll or do anything rude in anyway and then you say youre main is banned people are gonna think you deserve it, the people in the tribunal dont choose what kind of ban the person gets and with a 80% punish rate (where the tribunal should be since you need to be reported in ALOT of games to be put in the tribunal)also currently i belive Riot still goes through and confirms if the punish should still be a legit one.
    @Simon just because your a diamond doesnt mean your excepmt from bans if you carry a game and from how you made your comment i agree wiht the people that voted punish.
    @Kaiiador ITS NOT ONE GAME you have to be reported ALOT and its a team game so if you read the summoner agreements if you dont work wiht your team (by communicating or being a troll or feeding etc) you can get banned but you have to be reported in a high ratio of your games FIRST.
    I HATED the tribunal cuz i thought people were unfairly punished then i went to the tribunal read through the rules and what considers a legit punish vote. Riot said 99% of the votes were good decisions and the 1% they didnt like they didnt punish. (if anyone wants proof of that stament ill spend an hour or two looking for it its a few weeks old) Now I agree with almost ALL of the tribunal votes……..
    Cho’s Case was weird if there is an email saying his account got hacked i would look into that some more

    Annie support, lol, I remember a game when I picked Annie and called mid and then other guy picked Zilean and went mid, I then went to bot with a Poppy, I decided to play as support but then Poppy was letting me last hit, so I played as AP-Support, we killed that lane so hard, we were against an Ezreal-Thresh, it was super awesome, we carried the game super hard, Zilean started feeding but then he was able to catch up with the team during teamfights, It was pretty awesome, I loved that Poppy :P

    @Simon
    I hate tribunal with a passion yet if it was up to me, everybody who intentionally loses a game would get permabanned.
    If you don’t even have the common decency to at least try and win a game which you voluntarily started, you have no right to play a teambased game any longer.

    I just want to say something about Case #1. Dunno who is creating this site but this is rly sad and pathetic. What means “Ah, yes. The old “I’m banned on my main” excuse. This is one type of player that the Tribunal quickly bans”? I am actually banned on my main acc and i play on my friend acc and im carrying all noobs on silver and above cos my main is diamond but sometimes my team just want to troll, and blame somone. And yes i was reported for fuckin nothing on second acc becouse i said that this is not my acc and my main is nearly diamond. Now you showed who the fuck create this tribunal crap. You probably dont even watch on case just strap a note to everyone on tribunal and push freakin “Punish” button. Its REALLY sad.

    Sadly, I think the Cho gath’s case may be someone not using his account and trying to get the real owner banned.
