I got a 14 day ban in a game where I was flamed harder than I have ever been flamed before

I just played a ranked game and of course there's only a one way conversation but it's listed below. I died in lane and our Rammus said, "Worthless mid." Then he attempted to gank me again and I died again in the fight so he again said, "You're worthless trash." He then proceeded to call me a choice series of foul words and called me worthless at least another 15 times that game. After going 0/6/0 I collected myself, ended 8/9/7 with 390 cs in the 43 minute game. I got a 14 day ban.

It sucks. You can't see the other half of the conversation but I was getting flamed harder than I ever have in my life. Now an account that I've spent well over $800 on is banned for two weeks.

You can't see the other half of the conversation but I was getting flamed harder than I ever have in my life.

So, the reason for this is because, quite frankly, it doesn't matter. Well - it does - just not when we're discussing your account standing and punishment.

Your punishment is based solely on things you have typed in chat. You cannot control what others type - you can only control what you type and press enter on. Similarly, nobody else forces you to be toxic in game - it is all you. That is why Riot only shows you your own chat logs with a punishment.

Given your constant harassment of multiple teammates - flaming them for being toxic - as well as your admission to giving up, this punishment definitely seems appropriate. I am assuming you have had chat restrictions before, in which case a 14 day suspension would be the next step.

Keep in mind that the message you got with your ban that states "the next punishment may be a permanent suspension" (or worded similarly) is not a joke. If you are negative - regardless of "why" you are negative or "how bad" it is, your account may be permanently banned after this.

People are judged individually by their own behavior in that game and punished based on their behavioral history alone.

The only context that matters is whether or not you were toxic. Verbalizing your will to give up demoralizes the team and is generally shunned upon in the community. Your passive-aggressiveness of avoiding playing the game doesn't help you.

If they were toxic, they will be judged for that game and punished if they had a poor behavioral history.

Something similar just happened to me, got hard flamed for several games in a row by multiple people and I got punished for simply replying to them with less than a fraction of their toxicity. I see no point in posting on these boards though. The only replies you will get are people saying you deserved your ban and that you are toxic. Also they will suggest you just mute toxic people and report them. They get triggered by toxicity but are not willing to sympathize with others who find it annoying just because they chose to respond to the flamer.

The punishment system has gotten multiple times more strict this season and this seems to be happening more and more often. Every suggestion on how to make it better gets down voted immediately and you get called toxic for simply not being satisfied by and wanting to improve the current system. The only hope is that the system gets so draconian that Riot inadvertently alienates a significant enough portion of their player base. Then the player base would start to dwindle and they will finally see it as a problem and do something about it.

For what it's worth, when you get your account back, try this:

-Don't type anything in chat, except maybe "gg", "gj", and "ty".

-If someone shows any signs of being toxic, mute them. Do not reply.

Replying to toxicity with toxicity, in the end, makes you toxic. And that's that. You're not defending anything. You mute toxic people then all they can do is shout in the wind at nothing, while you're free to focus on your game. It's that easy.

The mute button is a wonderful thing
