Unfortunately, I got banned for talking to a friend. It was my first time happening and I was like "What's going on?" I feel as if this is totally unfair due to the fact that i've never even got a chat restriction or anything! They straight up banned me. I feel as if people like me are being banned straight up for no extreme reason. I would understand if I got my 1st and 2nd offence for it but they straight up banned me.

Please hear me out riot is there anyway I can be unbanned? I don't care if you chat restrict me but this is going to far! They banned me for 14 days.

It sounds like you were using either hate speech or kys, which can make you skip punishment tiers. Even though you were joking with a friend, other people had to see your chat.

Where you planning something illegal? Even if it was a joke i don't think they would take it as a joke.

I don' really know how you would get banned from talking to someone

How about putting your chat logs up ?

We can't help you if you don't show us your chat logs.

The thing is, even if you're talking to a friend, there are another 3 ( or 8 if all chat ) people in chat that will report you if they feel that what you said was wrong.

From the summoner's code :

Remember, taking a jab at your friend in the middle of the game is a lot different than making a glib remark at a complete stranger. Someone who is unfamiliar with what you consider playful may take your comment as an attack and react unfavorably.

You can try and contact the support but i doubt they'll remove the punishment since what you said is considered hate speech ( that is why you skip the chat restriction ).

The thing is riot can't tell if you're talking to a friend or not, and even if it's the case, context doesn't really matter for chat punishments, a few weeks ago we had a dude that had as an excuse "Yeah i said KYS but it was directed to a friend who was watching my monitor".

So i guess you can see that everyone could excuses themselves that way, now don't get me wrong i'm not saying you're lying in fact i believe you, but i want you to understand that riot can't remove your punishment just because you said that it was directed to a friend. They only remove punishments if they made a mistake in the first place, which apparently is not the case here.

Anyway be careful next time it's a permaban ! Use discord/TS/... when communicating with a friend :)

Good luck
