Hypothetical Question

Let's say you're a very above average player, in terms of the games you play. Lets say you have almost 1000 games, this season. If you don't curse, but you have a handful of two games where your team has just made you excessively miserable due to incessant verbal harassment, and you respond negatively, but no more negative than a first or second grader, in a micro-percentage of your games, should you be punished?

No slurs, no taunts, just some simple, objective complaints that aren't, "OMG IM SO HAPPY WITH THIS TEAM AND GAME IM PLAYING RIGHT NOW YIPPY AY AYE!"

If you respond poorly only once or twice you aren't going to get punished, unless it's something excessively toxic.

What about saying "this is over" once or if your Brand ults the singular player behind the teamfight instead of the 3 grouped together and you say "nice ult Brand" would that be considered a bannable offense?

Having a lot of games played doesn't prevent you from being punished. Think of the punishement system as a bar or scale. Once you reach a certain thereshold you'll be punished. That said, if you only do that once every month and you still play a lot of game (like 1 in 30 games you are toxic) you'll never be punished (unless it's excessive toxic behaviour).

Probably not, no... 2 micro-aggressions over a 1000 game sample means you probably dont get punished.
