You disconnected twice prior to this game – You mention you waited for the next game before the ban was applied, yet the game you signed for immediately after, you disconnect again (meaning you disconnected 3 times in a row): It’s not unreasonable for people to simply swap you out taking this in consideration (new people or not, you can clearly see everyone chatting about you disconnecting, so people are aware of your connection issues).

Also it wasn’t a lie, but most likely a miscommunication as he took the lobby full timing (:04) instead of lobby host at :05 – Will clarify that with him, however the swap was reasonable taking in consideration your 3x disconnect (You could be a bit more reasonable as well, and try to see this from a different perspective – the other people waiting for you, while you keep disconnecting/wasting time – and perhaps understand their side as well, instead of just complaining).

This situation has already been adressed by me (in your initial request), and a 2nd opinion was also given (Elf), so there’s no need for further clarification on this topic.

Really don’t get your entitlement here:

-> You dropped twice the game before – ergo the ban
-> You immediately drop the game after – and instead of sitting out, and trying to fix your connection (aka common sense), you want to keep playing and forcing people to wait for you until they had enough?

This ban request makes no sense at all for me: If you drop again, right after dropping twice the previous game, then people asking you to sit and fix your connection makes more sense, than you reporting them for swapping you out, but i’ll leave this open for the 2nd opinion as requested.

You disconnected twice prior to this incident, and you disconnect a 3rd time – I won’t warn or ban anyone for not wanting to start a game with you a 4th time, and ending in the same result again: Next time, fix your connection and ensure it’s stable before continuously joining games, and dropping (may it be before or after rolls)… common sense.

While discussions are allowed, there’s no need for the public shaming (and looking at the chat around the time you were muted, i see someone else from the same game accusing you of being toxic).

I took a look at the chatlog of said game, and can’t say i’m happy either reading half the things i did.

tl;dr If the intention of posting pictures, is to shame members (may it be a player or an admin), then Admins are allowed to act upon it, and stop it (using the available tools for the matter).

I believe this was already clarified with Kappa on chat (looking at discord)

Hi,

In order to initiate your trial/start playing here, you need to join Discord – Just click the “Discord” tab on the forum, and you’ll be auto-invited to the server: Once you’ve joined, just tag/ping our LTD Admins so they can help you get started.

Thanks

DotA Inhouse Guide

Players must use their main account to play inhouse games – This has to be an account that is vouched and that all players recognize. Any players who wish to make a new account, must first ask an Admin (You are not allowed to create and/or play with a new account without being allowed/confirmed)

A) For someone who wasn’t interested in playing in this league for a foreseeable future, you sure were quickly to leave the server and rejoin under a new name (hiding your identity).

B) Whether the ban was bogus or not, you had official channels to approach it (specifically DM’ing the Admin who issued the ban, a 2nd admin, or even posting an appeal – as you’re doing right now): leaving the server, rejoining under a new name, posting a new vouch request, and even using a VPN to mask your identity (while being aware that your main account is banned) is not how you approach these situations.
