Ironically flaming my friends got me suspended, what to do?

I've just filed for a support ticket thing before writing this, just waiting for an answer but better to get this clear first, is there a way to lift my 14-day suspension or just change it to a chat ban instead? I was saying profanity but it was towards my real-life friends and premades, which they were ironically into it as well. The one who reported me was also into it for a bit, but I guess he didn't think that I'd actually get banned.

Unless you can get each person exposed to the chat (your friends, strangers, opponents if in All chat) to submit a ticket on your behalf, the report and resulting punishment will likely stick.

I recommend keeping the friendly team banter that could be offensive and distracting to outsiders, in a third party chat (like Discord).

What exactly did you say?

The player penalty system is mainly moderated by an AI. Typing any form of hate/offensive speech, even in the context of a joke can get you banned. The AI doesn't have a sense of humor, it only sees the words you type.

Edit: I would also recommend keeping any overly vulgar banter out of the in-game chats.

If I were in your situation, I would just wait out your suspension. Riot has a reason for suspending people when they use profanity. If your friends aren't being temporarily suspended too, that's on Riots part. Once your suspension is lifted, make sure to never use profanity again.

Why be toxic in chat with premades use discord or something. Riot wont ban you if you use discord but if you use there chat you follow there rules.

real friends don't report you for flaming, they flame you right back.

Delete that guy from your life.

You accept the ban and move on

If you were using toxic language in the chat, you deserve the ban
