Riot bans players for normal game trash-talk and it's ruining the game.

Game 1 In-Game warw1ck jungle: IMAGINE PLAYING THAT TRYHARD warw1ck jungle: n - Pastebin.com

Putting all the various character imbalances and bugs aside, this chat ban system in place is a major issue. The ban system currently works like this: 10 game chat restriction->25 game chat restriction->2 week ban->perma ban. With the few amount of suspensions it takes to get your account permanently banned, why are people getting banned for normal in-game trash-talk? Every game has it and I've never played a game in my life that has such strict rules. I can completely understand chat bans for racial slurs or other prohibited words/phrases or actual player harassment, but my ban is completely unjustified. Nothing in my chat logs goes past normal in-game trash talk, yet I'm still hit with a 25-game chat restriction. The fact that you can be completely banned from the game permanently just for in-game chat is frightening, and I can't list another game where you can have that happen besides H1Z1, which is now a dead game partially because of the ban system. This is ruining the game for many people, including me. Shittalk is normal for any game out there.

Trash talk is things like "lol nice flash" after someone accidentally hits it.

It is not continually harassing someone about their playstyle or behavior, calling them names, blaming "broken characters", and generally just being a negative nelly in chat. That is not acceptable behavior.

Neither Rito nor the majority of player base (you are in the minority, trust me) want to see people talking like trash in game. This is the reality of this game. It will not change anytime soon. You either abide by Rito's rules or go play any other game that shares your philosophy.

That ain't trashtalk, that's trash talk.

Maybe your definition of normal trash talk is not the same as the rest of the community. The way I talk with my friends is much different than how I talk when in a game with strangers.

just a small example of how the "shit talk is normal" mindset is not acceptable anymore. and good riddance to it.
