Banned for cosplaying Neeko in chat?

Lõyalty·3/3/2019, 7:13:22 AM·4 votes·2,457 views

So I loaded up a game of Neeko support (No its not trolling, Ive done it plenty of times before), and as usual when playing Neeko I sometimes like to immerse myself in the game and imitate the funny way neeko talks into the chat as you will soon see below. It was a bad game where I got hooked alot and ended up going 0/10 (Which can be expected of a champion who needs to dive in to get damage), with some assists (Will link OP.GG as soon as it shows up), but I was NOT trolling. I even had the most damage on my own team as a 0/10 support! Of course when I am trying hard and my team is not making up for it I ask them to improve, but not ONCE did I cuss out any member of my team!
I said the word "%%%%%%"and "r%%%%%" in chat ONCE and which was not directed at ANY member of my team at all! I was making fun of the fact that one my teammates called me a "%%%%%%" and "Disabled" for talking like Neeko in chat, and was hurt that my own teammate had called me that despite me not throwing insults around. I had a BAD game, but I was not intentionally feeding AT ALL. I was trying hard. Why am I penalized for talking like one of the ingame champions? Ill admit I did critize my team, but was not extremely toxic to the point of cussing and calling them out on every play. Ill admit the "most toxic" things I did was call my team a liablity adn my adc bad, but then said its okay because I can carry. Here are the chat logs. I purposely talked like Neeko as I said above, so if something is hard to interperet please ask and I will clarify honestly. Most of everything is easy to understand. Game 1 In-Game Lõyalty: hELP ME Lõyalty: yes it is Lõyalty: Help me! Lõyalty: neeko do so much and get so little in return Lõyalty: uwu kayn Lõyalty: nooo Lõyalty: no u!

The bundle of sticks word is a zero tolerance phrase, which results in a two week suspension.

Edit: and you were roleplaying, not cosplaying.

neeko report neeko never get goood adsee it always bad

It's possible that the zero-tolerance words triggered something, but, if nothing else, you were punished for harassing your team. Calling for reports and denigrating a teammate is not acceptable behavior. Also, I get the impression that you annoyed the hell out of your team with the Neeko roleplay (not cosplay) on purpose.

you didnt do anything that would have gotten you banned from what i can see, so most likely it was just for using banned words. Yes, the system will punish you even for repeating them without context. You can try to appeal.

When someone is acting outside the rules, you should stop interacting with them.

There is never any good reason to use hate speech.

If you want to report someone, report them. Keep it out of chat. No one else needs to know anything about it.

Also, don't insult your team.

ehhhhh.....

If you know those are zero tolerance phrases, don't repeat them.

Submit a ticket to https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us and have them manually review the game. Depending on behavioral history, they might be able to do something about this.

Thank you to everyone who responded with their opinions!

The almighty Iron Wing of Riot Games Player Support manually reviewed the game and determined that while the ban system technically did its job correctly, the sudden and extreme strict enforcement of "zero tolerance terms" probably took my account by surprise. The positive: The 2 week ban is being lifted The negative: The 2 week ban stays on my record Going Forward: Almight Iron Wing of Riot Games Support will look further into the behavior of my teammates and the overall game, and I will not repeat this mistake.

It's not the fact that you didn't direct those words at anyone, it's the fact that you said it.
