Are there ways to explain what i can get ban for in chat for being toxic. for example what words or what actions can give chat ban restriction. i had 10 game chat ban i don't want get anymore its hard to don't rage when someone is toxic to you and thats what i get banned for. But anyway i want to know what words or actions i can use in chat with toxic people ( well mute yes but i am kinda person who wants to play as team if i mute jungler than bot needs gank and he doesnt ganks and we lose ) to don't get banned i mean i don't want lost another honor LvL just for saying some mean words in chat. if there are links which says about this please let me know. I am new in game so don't being toxic and don't call me bronze either cause iamnot even 30 lvl. [vlad-salute]

So the only things that are, to my knowledge, identified by keywords alone are encouraging others to harm themselves, using hate speech, or using crass sexual terms.

The list of "what not to do" is much broader, but can be summed up as this:

#Don't be a jerk, and don't point out when others are being jerks*.

Basically, don't insult, blame, or belittle other players. Don't comment on how poorly they're doing. Don't comment on how they're trolling, or how they'll be banned, or how they're clearly toxic. Don't blame them for losing you the game, and don't blame them for costing you a kill or getting you killed, etc, unless you do so in a respectful, constructive way ("Let's not chase Darius so far under tower next time -- if he gets another kill or two I'm screwed", for example).

#In short, keep your communication respectful, friendly, neutral-to-positive, and constructive.

*You can sometimes point out when others are being rude, provided you can do so in a friendly and constructive manner, and don't do so excessively. "Hey guys -- we've got this. Let's not tear into each other so much" is fine. "Dude, you're being an asshole. Knock it off" isn't as fine. "STFU, you toxic jerk" isn't okay.

There is no set list of words/phrases - either allowed or prohibited. You said it yourself - being toxic will get you punished. Toxicity is independent of specific words/phrases.

A few things people misunderstand and think is ok:

asking for reports as a form of harassment
giving up when the game isn't really over, like "gg I'm done, afk and open mid"
mistaking trash talk with competitive banter, like "heh thanks for the free kill" vs "you are ducking trash bronze kid"

Check out the support faq, it's probably a good place to start.

be freakin honest with yourself now, how often do toxic idiots give a usefull comment in the chat? If they want to gank you they ping spam you anyway. The "i want to communicate" answer is the biggest bullshit which people tell themself as a reason to keep fighting with other idiots.
