o_o who checks the chat logs to see if people are being toxic or not? because im one of those people who sometime wants to go out of meta and try new things(but never in a ranked game), today i got a 14 day ban for being "Toxic?" in game but the chat logs dont match at all. It showed me 3 game chats and all of them i went out of meta (won 2/3 of those games ) and it does not help that i play solo (#ForeverAlone no one plays with me cuz im bad XD) so most of the time i get placed with premades and they get mad because i dont follow the meta and junk...so they report me im mad but im not too mad because i have a second account thats like lv12 but all my friends are on the lv30 account (the account im on right now) i know there is not a report tab for "Playing a champ in a role it was not made for" so why do i have to get punished for it. to be fair one of the games i did use some dark humor but nothing intense

**Main questions **

Who checks the chat logs to see if people are being toxic or not?
Does riot even check the full game chat log of other players in the game?(not just the person that got reported)

Well i thanks im just gonna sit here and wait because league is basically my life and the reason i haven't drunk this lemonade flavored bleach

You were not punished for off-meta play. I took a glance at only the first chat log provided in your reform card and I can tell the punishment is deserved. You are welcome to post the chat logs here for the community to weigh in on them.

No, they are irrelevant. Each person is responsible for what they type.

The system is automated. If you get reported too much it'll review the logs of your reported matches and look for negative behavior, and if you're negative consistently enough you'll be punished. You can read a little more about the Instant Feedback System here; http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/player-behavior/reports-how-do-they-work

The system will only check the chat of the person it is reviewing. Retaliation is not a reason to become toxic and you're only responsible for your own behavior, so what they did is irrelevant. If you want to post the logs here I can review them with you to point out what negative behavior may have resulted in your punishment. Punishment is also done in 4 tiers; it usually goes up only one step each time you're punished, but extreme behavior may skip steps.

I don't know if you're just joking or if you're really feeling depressed without League, but don't make rash decisions. There are always other things you can do to enjoy yourself while you wait for your account. If you need to talk don't hesitate to let someone know, and if you want help anonymously you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255

You could make an ARAM account while you're banned and play that. No one checks the chat log an automated system banned you for saying hate speech probably.
