Tribunal Needs Serious Work

Yesterday, I received a 14 day ban. Normally I'd accept this, however, I feel my case was not severe at all, and I'm EXTREMELY upset that I got no warning whatsoever, just "hey, you can't play for 14 more days". The game in question (ranked, of course, where else do the trolls come out in such force) i called top, only for Cho to instalock, because, again, ranked. So i accepted this, and chose support, which, ftr, I HATE support. So about 15 minutes in, I notice the opposing renekton has 7 kills, and the opposing Anivia has 6. So I called Cho a jackass, as was deserved, since he stole my spot i called and had a champ selected, but not locked for, then fed like crazy. I also called out Zed on being 0/5 and doing zero damage (literally all I said about him, and it was true. He was 0/5 and did do zero damage) then me and xin got into it. We both went back and forth being fairly nasty, but nothing personal at all, no death wishes, or hopes for family to get cancer, or personal attacks, or anything. Just legit questioning how everyone on our team was doing so horrible. After the game, I received a message that basically said "hey, we know everyone has bad days, but please dont' be a such a dick" so I said, ok, fine, ill stay off chat and just ignore people for a week or so. Guess not, cuz when i logged in an hour later, found out I had a 14 day ban. First, compared to what I see on the daily (like the riven the game JUST before this one, who decided she didnt get enough ganks, so stood behind us spamming laugh as we lost teamfights, and calling us all selfish pricks who should just die) this whole exchange was minor to the nth degree. Second, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK is the point of giving a warning, only to give zero chance for behavior improvement. I feel like a warning is a message to change the way you act, or else. If I get the warning, then IMMEDIATELY after that get banned, it doesn't give a single chance for me to try just ignoring people who talk shit, or to mute everyone and just go on my merry way. I can understand the ban fine if I had gotten a warning, THEN continued to be mean and toxic. As it is, this leaves a very bad feeling in my mouth, especially since i know for a fact people who have said 1000x worse have gotten off with nothing.

That is interesting that you got a warning and then banned right after. I guess its not that surprising. Warnings are handed out before any validation of the reports so you got the warning immediately when you got reported. Then those reports also happened to push you over into having enough to actually be evaluated and then banned.

No one is ever going to consider you innocent unless you post your reform card but even from your own description of events it doesn't sound like any kind of mistake.

The nicest way I can say this is that nobody likes having someone like you in their game. When top and mid both do really bad at the beginning, who wants a teammate who starts calling people jackasses and branding about their score? It's not nice, it doesn't help your team win, and it is flagrantly against the rules of conduct. They were right to report you, and Riot was right to ban you.

You seem to have the idea that people are routinely abusive towards each other, and that there is no consequence for people who are far worse than you. You are mistaken. The majority of players never act like this, and the minority act like this on rare occasions. You are one of the very small minority who acts like his fairly often; you wouldn't have received a ban if this was a rare thing for you. The fact that you called out Cho and Zed for their deaths and said there was nothing wrong with that is a strong indication that you act like this regularly.

And as far as warnings are concerned, this two-week ban is your warning. Like I said, everyone hates having a player like this in their games. If you couldn't play at all anymore, it would be an improvement. Riot determined that a chat restriction slap-on-the-wrist or a simple reminder pop-up would do nothing to make you seriously consider changing your attitude, and I think they're right. I don't think you will think twice about abusing people unless there is a permaban hanging over your head. Even with the permaban threat, I'm not sure if you will reform.

I can't vote in your poll because it is to broad a statement either way, doesn't cover the content of what behavior or standing of the account in question.

As SmokedAlmonds has just stated, we need to see the reform card.
