Got a 14 day suspension as my first punishment before even getting a chat restriction.

I'm not here to cry about getting a suspension but I thought if I committed a first offence I was only going to get a chat restriction. I'm not a toxic person but I was saying really mean stuff during normals which is unacceptable i know but I got a 14 day ban out of nowhere without a warning of recent toxic behavior. I thought that you were supposed to get a chat restriction first before a 14 day. Could anybody clarify if this is supposed to be intentional?

You can be escalated multiple punishment tiers for severe offenses. For chat, this is usually using hate speech, or making threats/telling someone to kill themselves. The worse your behavior is the more likely you are to skip tiers, even if it's the first offense.

Shouldn't Riot at least give you a warning before a 2 week suspension. Getting a 2 week suspension out of nowhere is too harsh of a punishment. If I had gotten a warning I would definitely had stopped behaving the way I was doing. But I suddenly got hit by the ban hammer. Like I'm obviously gonna not flame in chat after the ban but a warning would've been nice.

Usually ban escalation of this sort is for language so egregiously over the line that Riot wants to send the strongest warning possible short of a permanent ban.

With the infractions that are not chat related (things like trolling, intentionally feeding, etc.) it doesn't necessarily make sense to give players a chat restriction. They haven't demonstrated any misuse of the chat function, so there's no reason to limit their access to it. So, they can be punished with a 14 day suspension as the first punishment. After that, they should follow the "normal" punishment progression, i.e. if they continue to trolling, intentionally feed, or earn a punishment for toxicity within a relatively short period of time without demonstrating positive, reformed behavior, they would be up for permanent suspension.

Soooo... you might want to proceed cautiously. No more intentionally feeding, no flaming your team no matter what they say. If they snap at you, mute them, report them and move on. Snapping back at them is not worth your account. And if you get into a prolonged argument with them and end up reported, you very well might end up suspended.

Chat restrictions are like saying "hey man, that's not cool, please don't do that again." 14 day suspensions are like "Yo, no decent human being would say something that cruel; you need time to sort out your real life issues, because something out there is causing you to be a jerk here."

Lets look at this logically through the example below:

Hypothetically, say this is a scale of offenses and punishments that is used:

Offense level 1: calling someone a stupid noob and telling them they should uninstall the game -Hypothetical Punishment level: 10 game Chat ban

Offense level 2: calling someone someone a stupid noob, telling them to uninstall, spam pings all game and asks players to report their teammate.

Hypothetical punishment level: 25 game chat ban

Offense level 3: calling them a racial slur once

Hypothetical punishment level: 3 day temp ban

Offense level 4: continuously calling them a racial slur, pinging them, telling them to kill themselves, and also everything above.

Hypothetical punishment level: 14 day temp ban

Offense level 5: repeatedly going at level 4 and not reforming their behavior

Hypothetical punishment level: permaban

Hypothetical first reported instance: continuously calling them a racial slur, pinging them, telling them to kill themselves, saying they're a noob, telling them to uninstall.

What punishment should be dished out for this first time offender? 10 day chat ban? 25 game chat ban, 3 day temp ban, 14 day temp ban, or permaban?

Answer is that the punishment fits the crime. If you were so offensive and so toxic that you got to that level 4 your first time, you should be punished accordingly. You do not get a free pass on punishments on bad offenses because this is your first time.
