I don't remember taking any pole asking me if I want automated system that punish players according to if they said kys or not, why won't they make those surveys instead of shoving it down our throats?
Maybe the majority of players do want to "defend" themselves.
and kys is not defending yourself. Easy as that.
They don't though. Riot has 5+ years of statistics based on actual cases where players did vote on what should be punished or not, as well as statistics from what behaviors are reported almost always.
They don't make the surveys because they would suffer response bias and they're unnecessary as Riot already generally knows what the community considers bad enough to punish.
Boy with a name like yours I can only guess you are 100% like the community. Also, the ban system is based on what was punished the most in tribunal so...
And defending yourself is hitting that mute button, which isn't punishable :)
Because the punishment algorithm of the automated system is mostly based on the results derived by the discontinued Tribunal and player's report pattern (if a lot of people have reported someone for saying "kys" it probably means the community in general don't like it), with a few Riot's asserted agenda here and here.
That's why when someone gets banned, it isn't wrong to say it's "as community intended".
.....
Also "kys" is not a defence. It's an attack.
Riot does not counterattacking when it comes to toxicity, on the grounds that otherwise every game will legally end in shitfests. And obviously, no sensible devs would want that; they want "toxicity is bad. The End".
