Started average normal draft game ,being top, and 5 minutes in the game, my teammates started dying on mid and bot lanes.

Lee was our jungler so he was quite mobile, but he did not bother to gank top even once about 18 min from the start.


When i mentioned why isnt he ganking, and will he, him and i suppose his premade friend started flaming and mocking me extensively.

After enemy jungler went top several times, i died twice, and started playing defensively, by that time all other of my lanes were much worse ,even tho they had help from the jungler.

Mid and bot lanes started blaming me when they died ,pinging on me, flaming ,and threatening with reports, even tho i was at top doing 1v1 against my opponent when he was top.


I was dissapointed in my team ,and said i will go afk, they responded to me : "go than" " bye" "goodbye", etc ,all of them.

But i know that i have no choice ,and being afk will give me penalty so i kept playing, but said i will not help my team untill they apologize ,and stop flame and troll me.

Instead they all muted me, and followed me around ,trying to ks minions, enemies ,jungle ,and everything else i was aiming at.

They started losing team fights, started flaming eachother since they muted me.

I participated in few of the battles, few i skipped, and the game prolonged to 50th min.

Between 30th and 55th min, jungler went afk several times for longer than 3min.

At the end they were still toxic, and i refused to help them.

Instead i politely asked the enemy team to report them ,since they were chatting in /all ,and enemy team already saw the flame, they said ,they will report them.

I do not recall using curse words, they used all maner of those on me, in all chat and team chat alike,you know what i mean. And Im the one getting chat restricted.


Enemy team, or at least some of them, together with me ,reported toxic players in my own team.

I can only imagine, but prolly my team reported mostly me, maybe eachother too, and i ended with chat restriction for 10 games.

Every time, someone acts rude towards me, flames and or trolls me, i will not play with him as a teammate, from that moment he is my enemy as well. At least untill he starts acting right, (but they almost never do)

Who here is in the right?

Riot for punishing me for not helping my toxic teammates, or them for being extensively toxic?

I posted on your other thread, but will report here:

Post your chat logs here and I'd be happy to look at your case if you feel your penalty was unwarranted.

Because I'm pretty sure your penalty is deserved when all you did was tell 'all chat' where your team was the entire game. They didn't need to buy a single ward the entire game because you kept the enemy well informed. You also threatened to report everyone.

I'd say the system is working, and not 'tricked'.

You took this on yourself the moment you made the conscious decision to not help your team. There's no excuse for that.

It's not about one side being right and the other being wrong.

You were probably punished for refusing to cooperate with the team, for threatening to afk (and then not helping), and for lobying for reports in all chat. Lobying for reports by itself is not considered toxic, but when combined with other behaviors it can push you over the edge to being punished.

Your teammates were definitely in the wrong as well, and hopefully you reported them after the game.

Just a heads up, you don't need multiple people to report. One report flags the game for review the same way 9 reports will... So you can keep quiet about it and just report them yourself after the game.

Hopefully this helps!

EDIT: Also we can't really make a proper judgement about your behavior without the chat logs, which you should have received on your reform card. Please feel free to post screenshots of that here if you wish to have it reviewed.

Feel free to check the logs of my all previous games and future ones, it mostly starts when i try to reason with others ,and they start cursing on me.

As one fella said, just use allmute.

Going to play now, and ill use that.

theyll still curse the crap out of the chat ,oh i just know it, but i wont see it :D

I'm amazed all you got was a chat restriction for: threatening AFK; refusing to participate as a teammate; litteraly telling the other team what yours is doing, which negates any sort of bait, gank, roatation, objective sneaking, etc; and probably were a lot less "nice" than you say.
