I understand I said some super heinous things, but I actually tend to have more GG honors than anyone, so I am wondering why the one time I completely lose it on a troll banning my champ to take my lane, I get a 14 day suspension.
the one time I completely lose it on a troll banning my champ to take my lane
And why would you resort to obvious hate speech (racial slurs, homophobic slurs, or self-harm), which is what escalates to a 14-day suspension, over a video game. Where in your entire life did you learn it was OK to talk to people that way, regardless of what they did?
The Honor System isn't a safety net to prevent/dampen the punishment you receive for breaking the rules. It doesn't matter if you're the single most Honored person in the NA region, if you use hate speech or other such zero tolerance chat, you will get an escalated punishment.
Because you used a racial slur or suggested they play some Korean MapleStory
Theres a few 3 letter combinations that result in immediate 2 week jailing and next suspension is instant perma no matter how minor.
Zero tolerance stuff including racism, homophobic slurs, other hatespeech or encouraging self-harm escalated the punishments to either a 14 day ban or a permaban depending on punishment history.
There is no safety net, you cant buy or earn your way out of the system.
Look on the bright side, it wont take you two years to be eligible for loot again.
You weren't punished for misbehaving in one game. You were punished for misbehaving in one more game, in a consistent pattern of negative behavior that breaks the game's rules. Additionally, the reform card doesn't always show all the logs that led to your punishment: it randomly selects up to several logs. You might see three logs, but you also might see as few as one, even for players whose punishment stems not from a small number of egregious infractions but rather from dozens of instances of mild toxicity. The purpose of the reform card is to tell you how to reform, so it shows you an example of the behavior that prompted your punishment and explains that such behavior is inappropriate and should be avoided if you want to maintain an account in good standing.
Usually, one transgression by itself wouldn't be enough to bring such a punishment to an otherwise clean account, but the IFS works on an escalating punishment system. Breaking a minor rule, like engaging the team in useless arguments, has a minor punishment: a chat restriction. Breaking that same rule over and over again, however, doesn't prompt an endless series of chat restrictions. The severity of the punishment ramps up over time, because the goal is to eliminate the punished player's willingness to break the game's rules. If two chat restrictions don't stop the useless arguments, the system will increase the punishment to a 14-day suspension and deliver a very clear message that the continued rule-breaking is becoming a serious issue and any further instances will result in a permaban. Again, the point is to put a stop to this misbehavior. If a player is more interested in repeatedly breaking the rules than in maintaining access to their account, they'll lose access to their account.
Of course, it's possible to break major rules, like cheating, threatening people, or using chat for hate speech, and skip punishment tiers so that a clean account ends up with a 14-day suspension or even a permaban.
From Riot's support knowledgebase:
PUNISHMENTS GENERALLY FOLLOW A BASIC ESCALATION PATH:
- First Offense: 10 Game Chat Restriction
- Second Offense: 25 Game Chat Restriction
- Third Offense: Two Week Suspension
- Fourth Offense: Permanent Suspension
However, it is possible to skip to a Two Week or Permanent suspension based on the severity of the behavior in the game. Excessive negative behavior can result in a Two-Week or Permanent suspension at any time without having a chat restriction on the account.
LoL's Honor system rewards you with things like Honor, BE, and key fragments when it deems your behavior good. LoL's punishment system (the IFS, or Instant Feedback System) places a punishment on your account when it deems your behavior bad. Behaving well sometimes doesn't mean you behave well all the time. In this instance - and possibly others, since the IFS punishes based on severity and consistency, and the reform card doesn't necessarily display logs for every match where you were validly reported - you behaved poorly. Poor behavior is very impactful and thus carries a lot of weight with the IFS, so to regain Honor and avoid losing it you'll have to work on controlling your behavior. The IFS does forgive the occasional bad day, but if that kind of behavior becomes habitual, you might be greeted with a reform card telling you to rein it in, or with a permaban message if the temporary punishments haven't worked.
It all depends on what you said really.
It can be from one game but most of the time it is from multiple tied together but they will only show one sometimes. There are certain things that will escalate a punishment to a higher tier if it is deemed bad enough. Things like Racism, prejudice, highly offensive stuff; will skip right to a higher tier. There's even rare occasions where you can push it to get an instant permaban but that's very rare and doesn't happen that often. More often than not though people will jump to a 14 day ban for saying derogatory terms to teammates.
As others said, Honor doesn't protect us from these things though. It's just meant to show you are generally a good player, but anyone from Honor 2-5 can still get banned regardless of their level.
GG or any honor you get is absolutely and quite utterly irrelevant when it comes to your actual attitude and what you've said. So please don't use that card for NO ONE cares about what honor you're at. No one cares if a criminal got straight A's in their middle school or went to college and was on top of their class. It has nothing to do with the case.
To the matter hand what actually relevant and you should have started off with. If you broke zero-tolerance policy then you deserve to be punished. Regardless of the context for context does NOT matter will never matter. This is about you and your self-control. If you're unable to control your temper or maintain your self-control, then you should have no agreed to the ToU to this game. Because every single line in the ToU has its consequences and ignorance has no tolerance. That 14-day ban is merely a warning.
Can someone help!? I believe this is absolutely ridiculous. I got 14 day suspension while the most toxic thing i said was "ur dumb" to a Braum who was inting and told the ADC to "kill herself." This is outrageous, Braum was the instigator and while i shouldn't of engaged as much as i did he was the one to be toxic and actually commit reportable offenses. He inted and went at least 0/12, he had repetitively got into altercations with adc for no reason. Players like this ruin the experience for the others and i understand how this might of been a misunderstanding so someone please give me feedback.
This is the chat log if anyone is interested,
Game 1 In-Game Lady Atarian: ryze u cant say that sett is not broken Lady Atarian: np brp wp Lady Atarian: ryze Lady Atarian: u new to him? Lady Atarian: braum ur trolling lol Lady Atarian: ive watched man Lady Atarian: braum dont tallk ur a noodle Lady Atarian: ur so dumb Lady Atarian: i hate playing with u Lady Atarian: u force the worst fights Lady Atarian: for no reason when u could wait u impatient Lady Atarian: no u woulda died i tried to save haha Lady Atarian: ur delusional Lady Atarian: prolly Lady Atarian: i know dw Lady Atarian: hes spewing nonsence Lady Atarian: 100p Lady Atarian: i never said i was pro but lord knows im better then u Lady Atarian: balanced Lady Atarian: ur useless Lady Atarian: be quiet
This literally boils down to. Avoid all of this by Muting all teammates and all times in solo queue so you dont risk losing your account for a stupid mistake.
