Posted this on GD but I'm not sure if it was the right section, I see way more ban complaints/log requests here.

I'm Silver 2 and I planned on grinding this weekend with a plat buddy so I could make it to Gold 5 by Tuesday. Today I logged in, ready for the most intense weekend of my league-playing life when I was logged out before I could play a game. A single tear dropped from my eye and onto my lap as I read the message telling me I'd be banned for the next two weeks. One tear was all I needed.

I checked my e-mail and noticed my suspension was for "Player Behavior" and that's when I got really mad. Lately (the past month or so) I've been getting paired with some of the most toxic players the world has ever seen. I've had a torrent of homophobic, racist and ableist insults slung at me for absolutely no reason, and usually the same jerkwads who are verbally abusing me end up reporting me when I say something back.

I really doubt this audit was as extensive as you say. If you had really looked through all my chat logs you'd notice that when I don't get put with a bunch of toxic *holes I'm a model player who encourages and jokes with his team. Hell, in ranked you could see that I REALLY make an effort to pull the team together even when people are toxic. I can name two or three games I played this week where I was the one trying to pull my in-fighting team together. You'll notice the games where I'm swearing or being rude it was in self-defense. I know that's a really crappy, immature excuse, but I always get butthurt when I simply mute people and my pride makes it hard for me to do that anymore.

On another note, I looked on the reddit post about the new system ban wave and how it's gonna affect the WORST toxic players out there, and also people who are racist/homophobic etc. I truly believe I'm not a toxic player and I have NEVER said anything racist or homophobic in chat. Was my use of the n-word in a non-derogatory fashion a red flag? I use it very rarely, and only when I'm buddy-buddy with a teammate. Ex: Saying "Ayyy my n** Lee" after a successful gank.

Lyte, I really want to make it to Gold this season and I'd like my ban reversed, or possibly postponed. I really do not think I deserve this ban, and I'd like to see my chat logs. Maybe I'm wrong and only seeing things from my perspective and I actually sound like the world's biggest *hole in-game. In that case, I'll take my ban gracefully and learn from my mistakes. Even if I'm "innocent", this is still sort of a learning experience for me and I'll try to be an even better player.

TL: DR Lyte, I (and holy crap, you've obviously heard this a million times) don't think I deserve this ban, could you take another look into my chat logs and show them to me? If they're not bad, could you lower them to a chat restriction? I haven't been banned in SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long (I'm talking like Season1/Pre-season2-ish, I thought the system would've considered me reformed by now) and out of nowhere I get two weeks :/

They only escalate to bans and skip restrictions in cases of extreme misbehavior.

If you believe your ban was unwarranted, contact Player Support (top right of this page).

Lyte was only posting chat logs in the forum because the Tribunal was down, and the new system was not implemented yet. He's currently not doing that. Honestly, he might be dead, I don't know where he is.
