*Rant* Why did I get a chat restriction

Answer: I was toxic

Tl;dr: I was toxic because of trolls in soloq and i want to make sure that it was fair

Whole thing: I have been given my first ever chat restriction today, and rightfully so. Im usually a very nice person and i only get annoyed when people feed and troll. It just so happened that i got 2 games in a row with trolls.

First game i get a pretty good team, and i got to go rengar jungle. Im trying to learn rengar atm but havent really found how to one shot squishies. But our annie Kept asking for ganks, and i told her to stop pushing as much. She started telling me i was bad because i couldnt gank a karthus (which i could, if he wasnt under turret from annie pushing) naturally i tried to defend my self and got even angrier after annie said she woudld afk if i didnt gank. I ended up having to tower dive with annie and our gangplank support so that she could get a kill. She didnt realise it was a gank though, as she continued to tell me i was bad and shouldnt ever play jungle again. I got reported by annie after that game for "being bad and being rude in chat" Kind of hypocritical.

Second game we are in champ select and i join late (i have some awful lag at the moment and have stopped playing because of it) i call top, but its already taken. mid is obviously taken, so i call adc and click on draven. Just before i lock him in, i see we have a duo support botlane. Kinda troll (as it wasnt a Thresh Blitz) but ok. So i type oh ok i guess im jungle then, and click rengar (like i said im trying to learn how to play him). i start talking to our morde, who i was going to pick toplane. i then see our support saying "SAPH PICK AN ADC". There are 3 more seconds left to choose and dont get a pick in time. Turns out a support decided to be a jungle Xin Zhao instead. So what i get once im in game is a barrage of "stupid troll adc report him" as i was trying to defend my self again (I knew i wasnt in the wrong as our morde had proof that he hadnt called but instead trolled) I died first blood, to which our xin zhao flames me even more for. This was also when i found out that yasuo (midlaner) and xinzhao are a duo, and they flame me together (as duos do)I muted them both apart from a small break where i accidently unmuted yasuo, where when i said "huh funny, im not that good at rengar adc" as a joke, he replied with "*league of legends" "man you are bad at spelling" this is a 3/8 adc rengar talking to a 1/11 yasuo, who along with xinzhao decided to start feeding. End of game i got double reported (as duos do) and now im here.

There are two reasons im angry with this. Although i was toxic, two games shouldnt be enough to tip the scales (fire emblem intensifies) This is the first time i have ever gotten a chat restriction like i have previously mentioned. But that is the part im annoyed about. The fact that i got sent nothing about how my reports on annie, xin zhao and yasuo had went, but they probably did. Knowing taht i cant get Hextech boxes anymore because i got angry at trolls? While they walk around free, being able to troll whenever and whereever? Its quite sad really, and i find it unfair.

I checked the match history of everyone after the game and found that yasuo had done the exact same thing the game before in ranked as annie. Xin Zhao seems to be an ARAM-only account. having lost 3 games that he has played not in aram. I have looked at annie and it seems as though it might have been a one off, but its hard to tell as you cant see much of a persons personality through there games.

I was wondering if a rioter could tell me if they got banned, and if not what i can do about it in the future.

Also, how long will it be until i can get hextech chests again, i love the concept of not getting them when you are banned but i dont want to never be able to get them again.

Sincerely, Saphixia

Riot can't tell you what actions they did or did not take on another player's account. The only thing you can do is not engage other players in a toxic manner no matter what they are doing, and simply mute and report them.

End of game i got double reported (as duos do) and now im here.

If you were wondering, multiple reports do not stack. Punishment is calculated per match, not per report, so premade reports don't hurt you more than a single report can.

TL;DR

Chat logs or nothing you post means a damn

The lesson here is, screen cap everything. Or if you can record, do that.

It's nice that you understand why you were chat ban, but honestly it doesn't help your case if you don't show our chatlog. Yes feeders and trolls are ruining the game, but what exactly does being toxic towards solve? Nothing so why bother doing it? It's not going to magically stop them from doing what they are doing, nor is it going to help you win the game. You both (or who ever else is involved) are all breaking the rules and in the end all of you need to punish whether it's from chat bans or band in general.

Also note that just because you get chatlogs of feel like it was only those two games that caused your restriction doesn't mean that it was only those two. You could have well been legitimately reported in other games and not know it. You could have also caused the system to trigger an immidiate response by how toxic you were. It all depends on the chatlogs!
