Question about account suspension

I am sorry for those of you who read this already, but my old post got deleted for being posted in the wrong section.

I got 2 weeks suspension on 7/11 due to my verbal abuse. I was checking www.support.riotgames.com and reading "My account is suspended" section, but I see that "offenders will first be placed in a low priority queue. If a player fails to stop, they will result in bans".

Does this mean I was reported several other times earlier? I admit that I cussed and taunted someone during my last game, but that was only because the other guy started it first, and I normally never pick a fight first. I am not sure if this 2 weeks suspension is really the first warning or not, but I never received any warning beforehand until this one.

Also, what are standards of discipline? Like, does Riot look at who start the fight first? or do they count who violates verbal abuses the most? A guy from my last game started cussing and flaming at me first, and I did cuss back. I understand the reason of my ban clearly, but I have a hard time understanding how he gets away from a discipline.

Riot is completely incompetent when it comes to their reform system. Your whole team could be issuing you death threats the entire game and if you say ONE verbally abusive message and get reported they will only pull what you said and issue punishment. They don't care what happened to cause you to get verbal at all. Yeah its a joke.

If you were punished for verbal abuse, it's chat restrictions or suspensions

For AFKIing games, it's ""offenders will first be placed in a low priority queue. If a player fails to stop, they will result in bans"."

i received similar disciplinary actions, i had AFK'd in recent games (one ranked then three normals in about a week) but it wasn't until the last normal game that i received any punishment. the weird part is that i was put into low priority que for 20 minutes, the maximum time on my first punishment. does riot now give less but larger punishments? I would really appreciate an explanation for how the punishment system is actually run.

Reports probable built up over time honestly. I never had any extreme cases but i do defend myself (which is frowned upon by riot) or just generally argue or ask someone nicely not to feed. Retaliation can get you banned. Depending on the circumstances lesser offence are usually just chat restrictions. A riot must have looked over your chat logs and deemed you worthy of a 2 week suspension rather then chat restrictions.
