Common Theme in 14 Day Suspensions.

Of all the people posting about their "bullshit" suspensions all of them have a major thing in common; Guilt. All of them admit they were toxic in the game, all of them think it was ok or was a "first offense", all of them expect forgiveness in spite of their admitted guilt.

Take this one and simple lesson my friends: That 14 days is a GIFT from Riot allowing you time to think about how you want to interact with people. Reform and you're in a good place. It's that simple.

Except you most likely haven't seen most of the chat logs.

In just my last game I got reported for "verbal abuse" because a terrible bot lane lost tower in 5 minutes. I, as the jungler, decided I wasn't strong enough to contest dragon against a Nunu, so I went onto the 200 HP support, got a kill and backed.

Leona then decides to say "Diana, you really shouldn't have done that. You should have contested the dragon, and done x y z. But I guess you don't want to improve."

My literal response before I muted her for the rest of the game:

"You really shouldn't be giving advice to people when you can't even win lane, just please shut the hell up."

Much verbal abuse, such wow.

People are just abusing the fact that the report system is much more aggressive now and throwing reports left and right. Riot won't do anything about it, we are going to see bans all over the place over petty crap (like my example) and people are still going to kiss Riot's butt for "removing toxic players," when in reality they aren't.

I've had the "Reported for Verbal Abuse" probably 3-4 times in the last 2 DAYS. I don't even use the chat that much, and when I do, yeah sure I might come off aggressive to someone that decides to type something while they are feeding. But welcome to life.

If you worked a full time job, showed up late everyday, did you job wrong/sloppily, then had the audacity to open your mouth to a co-worker for making a mistake, I can guarantee you will get your ass chewed out or even worse. Just how people are, and you most certainly aren't going to "reform" humanity with 14 day bans/

What about the super toxic people who never get banned?

I for one would like to thank Riot for a functioning reporting system removing those players from my games, they just make things worse.

More like time for them to level up their smurf.

Well, they probably wouldn't be toxic if there weren't as many trolls in the game.

If someone was legit banned for a poor reason i'd love to see them post a screenshot of the chat log they are sent.

You seem to run off the same principle as prisons do. Just let them sit and think about what they did. That'll totally fix everything.

I, personally, have received one of the aforementioned 14 day bans. Here is my gripe with the bans and with your thread - they may have been deserved, but two weeks? I had, before the two week ban, been banned only once before as a result of leaving games when I was at a very low level and did not know the effects it had on the game or my team. The two week ban was the SOLE toxicity ban I had ever received - I had never before been chat restricted, never banned for in game language or for flaming. Thus, after one heated game wherein I became fairly toxic ("Do you even know how to play Sona," "I've never seen Sona played worse") etc, I was reported and slapped with a two week ban. Yes, it was bad, and I realized as soon as the ban came my way that I had indeed been pretty toxic. HOWEVER, a two week ban is quite severe, at least in my opinion. The ban was good, and deserved - it forced me to reflect on the incident and realize that I should have handled the situation much more tactfully. But it would not have taken a two week ban. A simple twenty-four hour ban, or a two day ban, would have been MORE than enough to cause me to realize the error of my ways. I think it is especially harsh when one does not have a record of toxic behavior (a la myself.) I have already fought this battle on the old GD threads, and the ban is long gone. Seeing your thread, however, I feel as though you do not truly understand the situations some of us were in when the ban came across. Yes, we deserved it, obviously. Otherwise we would not have been banned. THAT is not the argument, at least not the one that I am trying to raise awareness of. I am simply trying to express the feeling that two weeks is a ridiculously long amount of time for someone to be banned for if it is indeed their first offense. The BAN itself, regardless of the time behind it, is enough to force a person who simply gave into a fit of rage to rethink their attitudes. However, there are the people out there that will be toxic no matter the duration of a ban - these are the people, the repeat offenders, who should be considered for two week and permabans. The majority of the players who received two week bans were no doubt in the same boat as I was, and had never been banned before the administration of the two week ban. Why should we receive that? Why not two days? Give the person time to mull over what went on in the event, give them a chance to realize, "Hey, I screwed up. I really shouldn't be like that to people, regardless of how the game is going or how they are playing." Two days is plenty of time to achieve that goal. Two weeks? Overkill.
