While it's just a 14 day suspension and I can deal with it, I think it's quite stupid that I got temp banned for literally two words (Words from Player Support), even though I was getting flamed all game by my bot lane, I only said these two words because my ms was hitting 3000-7000 and she kept flaming me.

I've never been toxic before on this account, not to mention my reform card (or whatever) is literally just one game, I didn't even receive a chat restriction or a warning saying I'm toxic, I just got a straight up temp ban, I think you should at least warn players before you out right temp ban them.

You used both ableist and racist slurs against people. That is immature locker room talk that does not belong in League, or even in any sort of mature discourse that occurs in real life. The fact that you thought that was acceptable, and are mad that you're being punished for it, shows you are not reformed and do not deserve the ban lifted.

While these words may seem fun, cool, or whatever to you, you must remember that there are actual people in this world with autism spectrum disorders. Many of them are highly functioning enough to participate in society as the rest of us, but many of them are unable to function at a level that doesn't draw attention to themselves. These people are labelled many things from weird to loser to retarded, but the fact is they just have a disorder that they can't control. The fact that you're going beyond these words with normally negative connotations to use the word "autist" as an insult to someone shows that you couldn't give a flying fuck about anyone else's feelings other than your own.

The fact you go on to use a word that is considered offensive even by many black people is also wrong. Even black people who consider its use acceptable generally agree that it's only acceptable in limited casual social situations between two good friends. It is not a word to be thrown about lightly, especially given the fact that that word was used for over 200 years as a manner of literally relegating an entire race to a lower class of society, even to the point of animals..

Bottom line: You shouldn't need a warning that this behavior is not just utterly unacceptable, but incredibly immature, and lastly despicable for any member of society. Much less someone playing an online competitive game with absolute strangers.

Yes, racial slurs fall under hate speech. And they have a 0 tolerence thing going for that. And calling people autists isn't exactly mild either. Say other words.

I get that when you don't say much you want the little things you do say in defense to have impact. Just...don't go for negative impact like that.

If people flame you while you have massive ms and can't help it. Just breath and think 'fuck em, they just venting" and play on.

Violate the rules, you get banned.

Given the two words, you should be thanking your lucky stars you weren't permabanned and that it is just temporary. But given your behavior on this thread, maybe they will make it a permaban. If they do good riddance.

Bans for hate speech are standard. It's common knowledge. You shouldn't have done that.

... I'm not really sure why this thread is two pages, that's really all there is to that.
