So i played a game with some friends we were joking around and ended up with some sensitive langauge according to another teamate which i explained wasnt a racist slurr it was just a joke between my friends. the text only bans me for saying the word "%%%%%%" as a black dude hasnt phased me for doing anything wrong. This slurr was at the start at the game and nobody seemd to be that bothered by it and we got out to a rough start losing bot and top and in the end lost. I think there was some salty teamate that just decided to report just for reporting and not actualy contribute to the community. im not sure if this ban will be removed but atleast address people being angry at the game resorting to reporting people on their team for just playing the game. (sorry for bad english)

Edit: I suppose i was mistaken about the ability to joke inside a game where jokes were already a part of the champion select. and if thats the case i understand my statement is not a good thing. when i played back 2 years about now the community wasnt too sensitive on these things, my bad.

Edit2: i suppose something said abot 1 min into the game will ban me for 2 weeks and have major impact on the other players since a joke is clearly toxicity -.-

absolutely deserved and justified

if you want to joke with your friend(s) in such a manner, do it in the privacy of private message or voice comm

you were creating a negative gaming experience for your other teammates who are not your pre-made or friend. if you are using team chat, it is a public space and you should exercise all social etiquettes when you are in public space, one example of which is not to make crass and vulgar jokes out loud. typing in team chat is saying things out loud.

If it isn't a 5-person premade with only your friends, it was not a joke between your friends. It was a phrase used that your friends may have taken as a joke, but at least one person found it less than amusing and/or offensive.

That said, hate speech is hate speech, whether directed at someone or not, whether used as a "joke" or not.

It's a racist slur regardless. Doesn't matter if you are using it informally with friends. Doesn't matter if you and/or your friends are African-American/European. It's a racist slur and should not be used. Period.

That word shouldn't even exist.

Others get banned over saying it.

I don't see why you shouldn't.

You banned yourself.

Show some restraint.
