Justified Ban?

So i've recently been given a 14 Day suspension for what i'm assuming is considered 'Verbal Abuse'. I was playing with a team who had 3 premades and constantly flaming me throughout the game, Im afraid i have no evidence for this but you're just going to have to believe me. From my understanding, riot are supposedly supposed to give out warnings for Verbal Abuse through a chat ban which i had not received at all, and instead jumped straight to a third offence. My account is literally a couple days old, and whilst playing that specific game I had been constantly enticed and got to the point where i felt that I had to defend myself. Im aware of the mute button, but felt as though it wasn't needed as I was literally saying most of the same things that were said to me.

First Offense: 10 Game Chat Restriction Second Offense: 25 Game Chat Restriction Third Offense: Two Week Suspension Fourth Offense: Permanent Suspension

Here is the chat log of mine - I can understand why people might think the Ban is justified, but its taken completely out of context without any of the other players messages before mine.

Game 1 Pre-Game Vindsvept: top In-Game Vindsvept: no f darius Vindsvept: very Vindsvept: ur 4/6 - At this point in the game I had a better score than the toplaner who decided to flame me for killing him, to which my response was his negative KDA score. Vindsvept: lol Vindsvept: we dont win this Vindsvept: ff Vindsvept: Kalista will carry and we will lose Vindsvept: uc ant Vindsvept: see Vindsvept: ez Vindsvept: i told you Vindsvept: we win as a team Vindsvept: gg Vindsvept: wp poppy Vindsvept: ur bad - Moments before this, the Veigar on my team decided to flame the jungler (Poppy) who was silent throughout the game and didn't flame once to which my response to him was 'ur bad' 'be quiet' Vindsvept: be quiet Vindsvept: quit then - After calling the Veigar bad, he constantly went on about how he was going to quit the game. Vindsvept: im not dying with you Vindsvept: Iron Vindsvept: plays veigar Vindsvept: i think your good Vindsvept: iron 10 Vindsvept: noob
Vindsvept: ur both bad Vindsvept: you just suicided to darius Vindsvept: and you say im bad Vindsvept: noob Vindsvept: noob Post-Game Vindsvept: haha Vindsvept: Plays Veigar and flames me the whole game

After the half way point in the game I had just had enough of the Veigar and repetitively decided to respond to his flames by calling him a 'noob' on three different occasions as well as calling him and his premades 'Bad'. Im well aware that calling someone names constantly is seen as verbal abuse, but i just don't understand why im getting a 14 day ban for using the terms 'Noob' and 'Bad' which in total was said only 4 times between the two words.

Im not saying that punishment is unjustified, I personally just believe that I should've recieved Offence 1 - 10 Game chat ban, or possibly a 25 game chat ban.

Anyways, all of this is all my opinion, so if you feel the ban is justified i'd appreciate it if i could have someone elses insight, and if they wouldn't mind explaining why in the comments.

Im pretty sure they go harder on low level accounts to prevent people from creating accounts just to make new playershate the game.

The fact that you had received a 14-day suspension tells me you are a habitual offender of the rules that are in place. The only way you could have gotten a 14-day suspension for the first offense was if you committed a zero-tolerance offense, such as racist remarks. The order of punishment is two chat suspensions before in-game bans are even issued for other offenses. Reaching a 14-day ban means you repeated poor behavior over a long period of time and, at this point, even a small thing could warrant your account being permanently banned.

Based on the amount of times you told your team to forfeit, as well as your incessant flaming of your teammates shows a lack of mental discipline and, as such, your ban is entirely justified, sorry to say.

You can always send a ticket and ask why you skipped punishment tiers.
