So I made a thread about this pretty much to hear peoples opinions on this ban well that doesn't matter anyone because riot finally answered my ticket support here's there final response:

Hey Summoner,

I'm sorry you felt that my message was automated but it was not. Being sarcastic towards other players has always been a punishable offensive as it's clearly not a positive way to act. If you want to act that way with your friends, that's up to you but behaving like that in League has never been OK.

In this case, it's seems clear that you were being sarcastic towards other players to antagonize them and that's also not OK. It's also very apparent that your teammates did not appreciate the way you were interacting towards them and, even after they told you this in no uncertain terms, you continued to make fun of them. That's not acceptable and it's always been possible to get a 2 week ban for this behavior; it looks like that's what happened here. As a result, the 2 week ban of this account was appropriate and we won't be lifting it.

You're free to make any boards posts you want but it won't affect our stance on this issue. If you have no new concerns, I'll have to consider this matter closed.

I've never understood why the chat is so strict as it is. why is sarcasm bad? I understand their are limits to what people should say. But we are all humans we all get upset. And imo you did pretty well keeping calm. I don't know your history so I'm not making assumptions but this is a pretty vanilla case. From just what you said at least.

Edit: I'm not toxic or anything. I've seen to many cases like this where teams flaming and upset and someone gets banned just for talking and trying to still keep up team communication, it's almost as if they want everyone to mute everyone else and never talk.

It's honestly why I don't tak to people. And ping only unless I'm playing with friends or I need to be like "SET UP FOR DRAGON" assist pings at dragon

100% deserved because it's hard to comprehend sarcasm through text and did you know, sarcasm is offensive!

I hope you get permabanned right after this, we need less sarcastic players like you and more actual flamers!

[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Serious talk: I bet you were nicest in that team, riot is full of sensitive downs who don't even understand sarcasm.

GG now I will get permabanned for sarcasm from boards too. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

You can't argue for 100+ lines in an LOL match no matter what you say. If you're going to be toxic, keep it short, to the point and use your own slang. Call someone a joob instead of a noob, etc.

I see nothing done wrong. I see a bit of passive aggressiveness, but! BEHOLD! The ENTIRE community is that way. You gotta be, especially since this game is PVP...Aggressive Play = Being Aggressive. With that logic, we should all be banned right? [zombie-brand-clap]

Your ban wasn't exactly unjust, but it is unfair...I will give you that. I try to keep my mouth shut as much as possible because people get seriously ticked off over getting their asses handed to them on top lane, and they're begging support to come help...oh wait, by the time I can help, your dead...and they're camped waiting for me to get another kill. No Thanks...not feeding.

When you ping, make sure you ping properly. Abusing pings can get you in trouble as well. Just sayin'....

reading it normally, no one can really tell if anything typed is sarcastic on the internet. sarcasm is determined by the tone of your voice. you can also read anything and make it sound sarcastic.

TL;DR sarcasm doesn't work on the internet.
