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?

The bigger crime here is having Faker ' s smurf name and a Tigers icon.

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.

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.
