Riot's champ select chat broken?

Recently I've been noticing that I am getting blocked from chatting for several seconds for zero reason.

My usual greeting is "hello friends" - "mid pref"

My last game I typed in "hello friends" and I was blocked from chatting for a solid 5 seconds before I could type "mid pref"

I know it's a minor thing but pretty annoying and seemingly out of no where... anyone else experiencing this?

This happened to me today. I typically type a role pref, enter and then immediately type that I will otherwise fill and then enter. This time I couldn't type the second note. Maybe because it was too fast?

I asked the others on my team and someone said that in his experience it's because of a report.

Is this a bug or was I reported? How do I even know if I was reported?

It was only for 1 second. Input chat area turned red and the send button instead said block or blocked.

Hmmm, I haven't gotten any warnings that I've been reported more than usual or anything like that.

If this is due to being reported without even knowing about it, it's a pretty piss poor punishment.
