Just received a 14 day insta-ban (was in que for next game when i received it) for the following chat in the game below. I was the jungler Yes it is the only game that was listed. I'm not claiming to be a saint but come on Riot this is just plain stupid. Of course you can't read the back and forth from the game but it should be clear that I was not simply raging and being toxic to everyone. Read the chat below and decide for yourself if this is a fair punishment. What is particularly funny is the last lines when it is clear now that nobody read the chat before i received my ban. Game 1 dammaan: ty dammaan: gj dammaan: so gnar adc isnt a thing huh? dammaan: im come top with my ult dammaan: please report ilio dammaan: too stupid to play ranked dammaan: u fkcing recalled right when i said i was ganking dumbfck dammaan: swain i hope u win with them dammaan: i know im not boosting this piece of dirt iliao dammaan: 0/2 what cant hear u dammaan: 0/2 why u talking dammaan: losing to an adc with no mobilty dammaan: lol idiots dammaan: no brah u should stop talking completely dammaan: and go practice dammaan: 0/3 dammaan: its ok vel im report you too so dammaan: like i said vel im reporting you too since u want to be toxic thats cool dammaan: oh and u still 0/3 dammaan: 0/4 dammaan: but go ahead vel call me bad some more its ok dammaan: no i was point out how ilio is not a team player dammaan: 29:53 dammaan: are we reporting ilio for not helping or not dammaan: so ilio u just gonna sit in base dammaan: gnar u r the one who went adc gnar and fed so please dammaan: lol too bad they read the chat kid dammaan: no u didnt kid

"Received a completely unfair 14-day ban for 1 game of chat"

No, you clearly broke the summoners code by harassing someone over their score, as well as spamming "Reported/Report please".

You spent nearly the entire game harassing your team and you think your punishment is unfair? Read it from your teammates point of view and tell me you shouldn't be punished.

There are only 4 lines in there that aren't reportably negative. If you've had previous punishments, like a 25 game chat restriction in the past 6 months, it would be very normal for your next punishment to be a 14 day ban.

you called someone a dumbfk and threatening and asking for reports in chat is reportable because it is unsportsmanlike. also they don't care what they said to you and they look at context to some extent. it's about your behavior not theirs

i see you trying to argue that this ban was unfair and that people need to take some trash talk. however, the reality is that everything you said in that chat, is completely unneccessary. Even if your dealing with a feeding player, making comments like that do absolutely nothing. They wont fix the problem, and they wont make them stop. In other words, you talk to hear yourself talk and for whatever reason feel better about yourself. So it has nothing to do with the fact that the LoL community needs to lighten up or will never be taken seriously, its that your chat has 0 purpose other than to make you look like a tool. 14 day ban is warranted.

As short as this is, I highly doubt you didn't leave stuff out.

I mean, Yes we know we cant see what they said, BUTTTTT It doesnt matter. You were the toxic one in our point of view.

What I'm seeing in this chat log is an impressive display of the ability to press the tab key and the subsequent non-constructive reminders about how you are such a better player than whoever's score you're quoting. Grow up and take some responsibility for your dickishness. Why don't you try communicating with your team proactively instead? If you think you're so good, take the lead on the battlefield, ping objectives, strategize and execute plays.

Wow so my comments were so toxic that I deserve a 14-day ban. Well I guess we know that LOL will never be taken seriously outside our community huh. What a joke the rest of the world must think the LOL community is when comments like "idiots" is considered toxic. Maybe it was the "go ahead vel call me bad some more its ok" comment that really put it over the top wow how could I have been so insensitive. Show me a real sport that doesn't allow trash talking. This is why League will never get serious consideration as a sport. As it stands right now poker is more of a sport than League. I have to admit that I do find it pretty funny that even though it is very simple to mute someone there is no expectation that anyone should actually have to use the mute button. If I was so toxic to my teammate Illiao why didn't he/she just mute me or if Velkoz from the other team was so hurt by my comments isn't that what the mute button is for? If this is TRULY the level of harassment that is not acceptable in ranked League play then I will continue to not spend any money on this game. Final note: it is easy to read these comments out of context and say wow how toxic but considering this was over a 30 minute game I have a feeling it would not seem nearly as toxic if the full content of the conversation was included. That may even be why Riot doesn't publish the entire text from chat.

Remember two things:

  1. Punishments are based on frequency and severity. Both factors raise the level of punishments you get. The more heinous your offense is, the more severe your punishment is. The more frequently you commit your offenses, the more severe your punishments are. Either factor can lead to a permaban. Don't think you need to be a frequent offender to be permabanned. You can be permabanned on one really bad offense.

  2. You are responsible for your own actions and language. The best thing for you to do is find better coping mechanisms for people being jerks to you in game.

Also.... if you got 9 people reporting you, you must have brought it into all chat or clearly inted, trolled, and/or afked. Don't bring your drama to all chat. It just makes it worse.

wait do you seriously think you shouldn't be punished? You think saying ty and gj as your first 2 lines in chat is going to make you a good person after what I saw from line 5 and over? You gotta be kidding

Maybe you think it wasn't "Super toxic" But the way you are acting right now is just showing more proof of how toxic you can, and will be.
