Does anyone else feel like Riot has gone soft?

Legit got a 10 game chat suspension for not cussing, not being racist and of course not trolling. I was responding to everything said with calm rebuttals and then I suffer from it yet the players, one of which cussed multiple times, got nothing in return? Does anyone else feel like Riot has just plain gone soft?

Just post your reform-card/chatlog, otherwise keep it private between you and Riot; it's meaningless to go "public" but withhold information from the others as you paint the debate entirely in your personal design.

It sounds to me like Riot has become more strict, not gotten soft.

Curse words do not trigger punishments. You can literally curse all you want and as long as it doesn't reach spam levels and isn't meant to offend anyone you won't be punished for it.

You can say "Holy shit Zed, nice play!"

You can't say "Zed you suck uninstal."

##Cursing and racism are not the only forms of toxicity.

The NA IFS, for whatever reason, takes "toxic" chat logs very seriously. Also, a lot of people who play league get offended by chat very easily and there is a culture of "I refuse to press the mute button" because people rather get all riled up and then cry to the report system.

My advise is to let the anger out audibly under your breath. I say the meanest things about my teammates but have been refraining from typing them. Crazy how much its made my win rate go up. I've literally lost countless games from poking fun at my teammates mistakes only to have them soft int and play worse on purpose to make us lose.

So yea, I would say to use the chat as minimally as possible. I don't even know why there is a chat box in the first place. Everything can be communicated via pings. The "strategic benefit" of chat has surely been outweighed by people getting in silly arguments and throwing games
