That one game that destroyed my account
Me and my best friend from school always play league together and we Skype while playing. One game he couldn't use his mic because his dad was on a business call so we decided to use chat instead. You know best friends playfully pick on and curse at each other? Well we brought it into chat for the first time. When I chat in-game when I play without him, I'm never negative. A few swears here and there but it's nothing offensive, unless they take it that way. We would always curse out each other over silly deaths and mistakes and had fun in general. But our team didn't see it this way.
I got carried away and started calling out on a teammate who threw the game. "Omg this ahri wtf lol" (Notice the "lol" implying i didn't mean it in an offensive way.) This was the first time I had directly typed to another player so I didn't expect much hate, I didn't type a single thing after that. Turns out that teammate was in a duo queue. Long story short, they exaggerated and stretched my previous remark in all chat. Long story short, All 3 teammates and a couple enemies probably reported me.
What came up on the Tribunal were all those comments towards my best friend containing lots of swearing. That's how I got Chat banned for 80 games and Ranked Restricted for 38 games all because of that one game where we used chat on league. When I got these restrictions, I thought to myself "These aren't that bad". I play a couple draft games and 10 games through, I got cancer from all the toxicity, This is probably because draft is where all the REAL toxic players go. I'm completely disgusted that I'm labeled in the same categories as these people. I will never be able to play ranked again.
All because of that one comment.
