Riots chat restriction/ban system in season 7, compared to now. Why do we get less of a chance?

{quoted}

No.

After the removal of the Tribunal, there has never been as many levels as you suggest. It has been, since that time, 10 game CR, 25 game CR, 14 day ban, then permanent ban.

No thats wrong, guaranteed, ive literally had the experience in season 7, you got 5-10-15-25. I swear on my life, that is how it went. It hasnt been 10, 25, 14, perma, until season 8. and if what your saying is true, then im going to make this argument, It has something to do with the honor system. If you have higher honor, you get more chances and less chance to just get chat restricted for one toxic game, or permaed for one toxic game. And to think, there is 200 games to level 30, and around 150 of those games will be played with people who get banned for telling peopel to kill themselves and stuff you have to play with them, for 150/200 of the games to level 30. Its ridiculous. How am i supposed to level my account if have to deal with people like that.

So, it has come to this: someone displayed misbehavior in a LoL match in flagrant disregard for the game's rules, ToS, EULA, and Summoner's Code. That's unfortunate, and I'm sorry you had to deal with it. If this misbehavior happened in chat (including emotes or ping) and they don't respond positively to a single, courteous, constructive request to focus on the game, your best option is to mute that player. Submit a report after the match. This is equivalent to dealing with a noisy person in a library by asking them to keep it down and then notifying library staff and moving to another area.

Do not respond with misbehavior of your own! If you do that, your teammates may mute and report you, and those reports would be valid. This is equivalent to dealing with a noisy person in a library by getting into a shouting match with them. Just because someone else started it doesn't justify you in continuing it. I'm sure you're familiar with the "s/he started it" trope, where two children get into an argument or fight and then try to claim innocence of any wrongdoing by claiming that they didn't instigate it. As any parent, teacher, or other supervisor of children will tell you, that excuse doesn't fly. When Dad is trying to drive you to Disneyland and your annoying brother starts making faces at you as he's previously been told not to, you should calmly ask him to stop, and then, if that doesn't work, calmly notify your parents of the problem. Making faces at him or shouting at him has never been a good way to get him to stop, and it makes you just as guilty of that as he.

Riot doesn't care who started it. Someone else's misbehavior does not justify your own.

From Riot's support knowledgebase:

If you misbehave but a teammate or opponent does or says something even worse, you should definitely report them after the match, just as someone reported you for your own misbehavior. Yes, that's certainly possible. Reports are not a limited resource. Any time someone believes that another player violated LoL's behavioral standards, they can report that player. Punishments are similarly not limited: if more than one player in a game merits a punishment, they can both get a punishment. This can happen even if the players in question were antagonizing each other. The IFS doesn't need to weigh the severity of all reported players' actions and then "award" the "winner" with a punishment; it's not a contest.

Think of it like dealing with a noisy person in a library: ask them to keep it down, and then notify library staff and move to another area if that doesn't work. If you get into a shouting match with them, you're just as likely to be removed, even if you weren't shouting quite as loudly as they were. The goal is a quiet library.

If you encountered someone who didn't share your situation behaving just like you did, would that behavior bother you? Yes? Now consider this: you don't know their situation, and neither does Riot. This is why using the n-word is considered unacceptable regardless of a player's skin color, why flaming is unacceptable even if the player is bipolar or a disabled veteran, and so on. LoL has no such thing as, for example, a Class III(a) Anti-Semitism License only available to Jews, or a N---a Certificate With N---er Stamp available only to African-Americans. Everyone has to follow the rules regardless of who they are.

Your opinion of the rules is of zero relevance. When a cop stops you for going 40 in a 25 zone, you can claim "I think the limit should be 45 here" all you want. You're still getting a ticket. If a librarian asks you to keep your voice down while you use the facilities, shouting that libraries should be loud will simply get you escorted out. If you go to a friend's house who insists that you remove your shoes while you're in their home, "that's a stupid rule and I do what I want" will lose you a friend. If you are using someone else's services, facilities, equipment, etc., you abide by their rules or you deal with the consequences. If you think the rules should change, that is a completely different conversation (and I wouldn't give a plugged nickel for your chances at convincing Riot to change their rules to allow behavior like yours).

From Riot's support knowledgebase:

You weren't punished for misbehaving in one game. You were punished for misbehaving in one more game, in a consistent pattern of negative behavior that breaks the game's rules. Additionally, the reform card doesn't always show all the logs that led to your punishment: it randomly selects up to several logs. You might see three logs, but you also might see as few as one, even for players whose punishment stems not from a small number of egregious infractions but rather from dozens of instances of mild toxicity. The purpose of the reform card is to tell you how to reform, so it shows you an example of the behavior that prompted your punishment and explains that such behavior is inappropriate and should be avoided if you want to maintain an account in good standing.

Usually, one transgression by itself wouldn't be enough to bring such a punishment to an otherwise clean account, but the IFS works on an escalating punishment system. Breaking a minor rule, like engaging the team in useless arguments, has a minor punishment: a chat restriction. Breaking that same rule over and over again, however, doesn't prompt an endless series of chat restrictions. The severity of the punishment ramps up over time, because the goal is to eliminate the punished player's willingness to break the game's rules. If two chat restrictions don't stop the useless arguments, the system will increase the punishment to a 14-day suspension and deliver a very clear message that the continued rule-breaking is becoming a serious issue and any further instances will result in a permaban. Again, the point is to put a stop to this misbehavior. If a player is more interested in repeatedly breaking the rules than in maintaining access to their account, they'll lose access to their account.

Of course, it's possible to break major rules, like cheating, threatening people, or using chat for hate speech, and skip punishment tiers so that a clean account ends up with a 14-day suspension or even a permaban.

From Riot's support knowledgebase:

Did you find something in Riot's store allowing you to break the ToS? No, because such a service is not offered. Regardless of how much money you spend, you are required to follow the same rules as everyone else. If the IFS determines that you've been validly reported in violation of those rules, you'll be punished according to those rules. If you wanted to avoid a punishment, you should've followed the rules.

Alright sir you obviously have no idea what the point of this thread is, so, let me tell you this. Im going run it down in any game your in, im going to feed your laner, im going to tell you to just. Mute me. And report me. and if you say, i am inting, or i am throwing, i will report you, and i expect you to get the same punishment as me. Or would you not get it just because you muted me and reported me?

"Breaking a minor rule, like engaging the team in useless arguments, has a minor punishment: a chat restriction. Breaking that same rule over and over again, however, doesn't prompt an endless series of chat restrictions" my first case on you. this is not how the system works. Its not. NO MATTER WHAT happens, aslong as it doesnt exceed what they think is extremley toxic, you will keep going up the ladder. you get 4 attempts, basically within 1 year of play time, even if you play 5-10 hours a day, you will not be able to redeem your account after a 2 week ban. trust me, i tried it. I played over, 200, 300 games? Still did not make it so my account was healed. you can say, the most minor things, if you do it in just 1 game, you have a chance of being permanently banned. There is no endless stream of chat restrictions, you get those chances, and thats it. Unless you go too far above and beyond, you will not skip those, you will merely stay on the path of 10 game, 25 game ,2 week, and permanent ban. And again, to put this in perspective, im playing with atleast 2 team mates every game, who either are new, or are just running it down because they dont want to try. atleast, 80% of the what, 200 games you have to play to get to level 30? and riot does what about it? bans you for calling them out on throwing your fucking game. You have no idea what your talking about, if you think this fucking guy saying " Breaking a minor rule, like engaging the team in useless arguments, has a minor punishment: a chat restriction. Breaking that same rule over and over again, however, doesn't prompt an endless series of chat restrictions" this. on my post is a relevant thing, dont down vote my post just because you dont agree with me. Leave it to the people who actually care about the game and want this system to be reworked and fixed.
