I have already sent in a ticket but I was wondering if people discuss chat restrictions here?

I'll offer my thoughts if you'll have them. Please keep in mind these are general thoughts and I can't comment on your particular case unless you share your chat logs (you can edit them into your original post):

You claim you were "defending [your]self from trolls". First of all, did they stop trolling? I believe there's a 95+% chance they didn't. So your "defense", considering it had virtually no chance of changing anything, was not "defense" but retaliation. You weren't fighting fire with water, you were fighting fire with fire - instead of just calling the fire department (reporting them).

Secondly, you don't know who reported you. If you talked in all chat, it very well could've been the enemy that reported you. You cannot assume in this case that it is a particular person reporting you. Further, you shouldn't care who reports you or doesn't, because as long as you are behaving properly (which you weren't in this case, based on the fact you were punished), you won't get punished. You can be reported by 9 people every single game but if you're behaving properly literally nothing will happen.

Bottom line: don't retaliate - it just furthers the negative attitude that whoever you're retaliating against is creating. Furthermore, there's virtually no chance your "defending" (retaliation) is actually going to change anything - and thus there's absolutely no purpose for it.

First of all I was playing bots and I believe atleast one of the person in there may have been botting/afking (which is a pretty common thing in bot games), and the other person, the non troll left immediately after the game ended, making it unlikely that they were the one who reported me. The 2 who were throwing all these comments stayed after the game and continued and told me they would report me. Pretty much all I said during this phase was "keep it coming" and one of those guys admitted to be trolling to get banned. Additionally when people are racist, offensive and just toxic I don't think you would have shut up and sat there either so pls don't tell me that. You won't be able to do that in the heat of the situation. If you say calling out their kiddish which they behaved like and telling them they won't be able to do this irl is "retaliation" then I retaliated alright but I don't see anything wrong with it.

When people are racist, offensive, and just toxic, you mute them. You don't subject the non-trolls on your team to your toxicity in retaliation.

I would've shut up, muted them, and reported them at the end of the game.

Except I didn't know how to. And don't tell me to ignore em, at the heat of the movement when they blame you out of nowhere you won't just go on your day trust me. I know you are going on your crusade trying to tell lying people that they are actually toxic and all that but trust me I am not one of them. In the thousands of hours I have played Overwatch, WoW , I haven't gotten even anywhere remotely close to a ban or a restriction, they pulled this one out of thier ass.

I can't tell you if they pulled it out of their ass or not without seeing the chat logs it gave you. I can say I have seen bad punishments before - they're very rare but they do happen and are reversed. But I can't tell you this was a bad one if you don't post your chat logs.

With no in game context or comms of other players? I don't you can say one way or another without external context and post and pre game logs.

Besides I just tried to get ppls opinion and nobody decided to answer... oh well whatever i guess. I am not going to get into someones crusade. I am just gonna leave it at that.

You are punished based on your own chat and your own chat only. Others chat is not shown to you because it is not factored into your punishment - again, the fact you were retaliating is not important. Your logs are what got you your punishment.

I still haven't gotten a response on my ticket, when are they going to get back?

ChermorgSep 29, 20171 votes

Many things factor into that - don't keep submitting new tickets or comments in your tickets. And just be patient. Generally speaking 48-72 hours gets most tickets answered.

They will tell you, however, the same things you're being told here.

No one answered my ticket question example.

Yes, you are free to discuss any type of punishment here. However, starting a discussion here is more for talking to the community, as Rioter's very rarely respond to posts here. If you don't mind that, then feel free. If you want to discuss it directly with Riot and no one else, then the support ticket is the way to go and you'll need to wait for a response.

I got a 10 match chat ban and honor restriction for defending myself from trolls who admitted to being toxic in an attempt to getting thier accounts banned. Since they reported me I got a chat restriction too. Thoughts? (Ill divulge deeper as people ask). Oh and I was wondering how soon they generally get back with the tickets?
