14 day ban for defending myself in chat

14 day ban from one game. wew. I'm so confused on how this system works. Literally one of the first few games since I got back from a chat restriction so it wasn't a build up of reports (previous games were great and good vibes all around). Either the threshold at this point is 0 or something in this log filled it to 100%. I played a losing mid lane so any references to mid losing or not doing anything is me telling my team I'm next to useless at this point, don't know if ban bot picked it up as me flaming. Even with no context or full chat logs (it was full of flame towards me but that doesn't matter to ban bot) taking this log for it's face value I can't see anything that could trigger ban bot other then the mid references. I'm literally defending myself and occasionally trying to calm them down (it was kinda weird because one of them kept flipping between nice then toxic) in chat but I guess even defending yourself is construed as flame by the ban bot?

Meanwhile both the other flamers got off scot-free (no instant feedback report) despite telling me to uninstall, spamming death timer or mia pings on me (idk if ban bot looks at that, doubt it does since it doesn't show up on your logs), calling me trash, useless, feeding, inter, 4v6 etc. Think just slightly below tyler1 levels of flame.

Seriously confused about how riot's automated system works. If anyone can tell me what went wrong here it'd be appreciated. Otherwise I'll just change the client to remove the chat box from the game entirely because in my experience comms in this game has no benefits other then that 1 in a hundred game.

Game 1 In-Game Shadowbyte: gg Shadowbyte: cant even do anything Shadowbyte: mid lost Shadowbyte: cant do anything with eve and syndra sitting in lane Shadowbyte: easy for you to say Shadowbyte: ... Shadowbyte: w/e game was over once we lost their red Shadowbyte: I literally got in lane cho Shadowbyte: check your map before you ping pls Shadowbyte: worry about yourself first nunu Shadowbyte: weird Shadowbyte: so did I Shadowbyte: wouldn't possibly the screwed up invade or the non existant jg pressure Shadowbyte: oh Shadowbyte: nunu's mad Shadowbyte: hello jg?

You spent the entire time raging at your team. If that's what you do within a few games of finishing your second chat restriction, that consistent toxicity will earn you a follow-up punishment, this time a 14-day suspension.

You don't get an instant feedback report for every report that results in a punishment.

The very first thing you said in chat was "gg," which indicates that you gave up. Then you went on and on about how your teammates would surely be banned, insulted a teammate's vocabulary, continually brought up teammates' scores, and use passive-aggressive sarcasm to draw out an argument. Did this put a stop to your teammates' flaming? No. That's because flaming back isn't "defending yourself" - it's not a defensive measure. It is purely offensive, and simply causes chat to deteriorate further. If you want to defend yourself from having to deal with rude or offensive chat messages, use the mute function. It is a 100% effective defensive measure.

When one person is flaming, and then someone else starts "defending himself" by flaming back, the rest of the people in the game now have to deal with two people ruining the game instead of one. This is why context doesn't matter and why you got punished.

Defend yourself by ignoring idiots. Their words can only bother you if you let them.

Honestly you don’t deserve the ban. Nothing toxic in there

You don't get punished for muting. You get punished for letting your ego control your every action.
