Let's talk Chat Restrictions

Let's talk about chat restrictions.

I have a friend who is constantly chat-restricted (and I admit I report him when he goes over the line) and he is quite toxic to say.

Then I saw people talking about how they mute their entire team and communicate with pings only, and don't even type a word.

That got me thinking: "If you can communicate with pinging only, you won't be using those messages that you get during the game." So what happens? They use those to flame anyways. My friend is a great example of this. He can ping objectives and even though he is restricted, he flames just as much as if he wasn't.

And for who plays Draft Pick, You've probably been there where we play a Draft Pick normal game, and then there is that one guy who is restricted and isn't talking at all. You say stuff to him and give him advice every minute or so, and then 3 minutes later he just writes that loooooooooooong flame message, only using 1 of their chat messages to flame as much as if they weren't restricted.

The only thing I feel is good is the All-Chat restriction.

TL;DR: Chat restrictions feel useless to me and it can be easily tricked by flaming what you want in a long chat message instead of in 3 shorter ones.

Any thoughts and oppinions would be appreciated.

That's a problem. This is a clear flaw in their system and if they ignore it it is just bad for their players.

Seriously, I'm chat restricted and I don't say a damn word all game. The match ends, we lose. I make one comment "Wow. I didn't expect Botlane to lose so fast." More as an exclamation than anything. "You have been reported for negative attitude etc etc."

Seriously. The system is broken. Bring back the Tribunal. I've put good time and money into this game. I demand a fair trial!

TRIAL BY COMBAT!

Fuck this system. i have had 2 chat rest. x 75 games each. I said,np,i might deserve them,after the 2nd ended,guess what? a 3rd one,even tho in those 10 games WITHOUT THAT,i havent had a SINGLE report. not even a single one. i demand my chat restriction to be lifted straight away,because i havent done a single thing to deserve that.

Not to mention tht i think i will never get off of chat ban no matter how good and polite i am...............last games,i didnt flame,i said gj,and etc,bt never reported. EVER,and yet,i still get this 3rd 75 games chat ban. Either fix this fking system,or ill simply stick to custom games and vs ai and screw pvp. like if i want to have every single time a new bullsh*t chat ban. I dont care about how good is my standing with tribunal,either fix it or lift my chat ban.Now,ill simply play again,and be polite to my teammates every game.No Flame at all.And if i still get a 4th chat ban? then honestly? im gonna play ranked,get it to plat or somewhere,and then sell it and buy another acc. Besides,i dont think im the only one here who got chat restriction tht he didnt deserve at all.
