Like seriously how is this even slightly justified, I was playing a Doom bot game with a group of friends and i said "kys" as a joke in all chat to the bots and i was instantly banned for it like seriously. Anyone know what i can do about this?
ModPrandine5 votesA couple things.
Gritz2 votesRiot support gave the middle finger so that's apparently not happening i wish support wasnt this black and white...

They're this black and white because again saying things like "kys" is no laughing matter and is grounds for a punishment escalation when reported, so I would suggest finding other ways to joke around that don't involve things like self-harm or racial slurs.
Gritz2 votesIt wasnt not directed at an actual person so how am i harming anyone by saying it in chat? Its taken totally out of context and im basically being wrongfully banned but what do you expect from riot
Magical Player3 votesHey there officer, you see these stolen goods? Officer: yeah? I didn't steal them or nothing, since you know nobody saw me Officer:.... So there's no harm, so don't go arresting me or nuthin. Officer: You're under arrest.(most likely tazed) But officer, i didn't do nuthin, nobody was harmed Officer: Laws NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Nobody was hurt no law broken Officer: LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HalcyonDweller2 votesPeople who are depressed and suffer from suicidal thoughts do not need to be reminded of the concept of suicide. Saying that phrase even to bots in all chat still exposes everyone on your team to that reminder. It's taken seriously by society and by Riot. It is not acceptable to say.
Šternberg3 votesWhy would you type "kys" against bots??? Makes no sense whatsoever.
Gritz2 votesIt was a joke on discord with friends it wasnt meant as anything. Im just really suprised i was banned when it was a bot game
BigPeenAnchor2 votesIt's a meme for children.
Zombie Gerbil3 votesWhy would you even joke about that in general? It's not even funny. How is that even a joke? Going around saying "kill yourself" isn't to be taken lightly. You wouldn't say that out loud in a public mall or directly to some stranger's face. There are people who don't take those words lightly, so you got reported by someone and it got reviewed as inappropriate
zPOOPz2 votesWas it a pre-made 5? I am 99.9999% certain the Doom Bots didnt reported you.
First off, you would never be banned if no one reported you....so you got reported by SOMEONE (presumably one of the other 4 human players and not the bots).
If it was a premade 5, then you need better background check on your "friends" and probably get better friends because one of them most definitely reported you..
If it was not a premade 5, then someone did not appreciate you used one of the zero tolerance word and reported you. Remember that even though you did not direct the word at any human in particular, you still subjected that word on your other 4 teammates who had to read it and their game might be ruined by it.
I personally would not care enough to report you if you directed it at the bots (those cheating bastards kinda deserved it), but it can and probably did offended someone with its usage.
Gritz2 votesWe are IRL friends so im pretty sure they are okay with it. Wich is why im so suprised by this...
zPOOPz2 votesim almost certain one of them ninja reported you. There is no automatic chat scan if you did not get reported.
was it premade 5 or was there a random?
Gritz1 votesPremade.
zPOOPz1 votesThen first, you need to issue a witch hunt to find which one reported you. Then rouse a posse and tar and feather the bastard because getting someone's account banned IS NOT a funny joke...
After those are done, you'll need to find a new game to play.
Gritz2 votesFking love riot support.... They just show you the finger when youve supported the game for years.
MysterQ1 votesDid one of your friends report you?
Gritz2 votesIm pretty sure there is an automated system with "kys" in its filter where you just get instabanned wich is pretty stupid imo but oh well
DrCyanide1 votesAsk your friends which one of them reported you, because the system doesn't scan the chat logs unless someone reports a player.
zPOOPz2 votesno there is not an auto system scan. I may or may not had personal experience with the word one or twice in-game...
"If he goes mid, i might kill myself" "dont kys, that's inting!"
no auto chat scan without report....
OnlyYouCanHearMe2 votesThe others are correct. There is no instant filter. A report has to be issued before the IFS will review the chat logs and issue a punishment.
Warios1 votesMaybe one of your "friends" reported you as a joke. Need new friends, or at least ones with better jokes.

Good, stop saying things that you know will get you banned and you don't get banned. It's that simple.
Colgate Gator1 votesYou could not say that.
hi ìm groot1 votesWhat if one of those doom bots was having a bad day? People constantly flaming them game in and game out for being overpowered, and your comment was just enough to push them over the edge? You think life is easy being a doom bot?! You got what you deserved!
HalcyonDweller1 votesWeird that you were punished for saying it directed at the bots. But if you were punished then it was because somebody reported you. You don't get punished for behavior if nobody reports it.
Somebody on your team must have found it offensive and chosen to report you.
Weiss Guertena1 votesThere was a case of a person in a full premade group get jokingly reported and consequentially banned posting here. A Rioter rescinded their ban after all 4 of his teammates came in here and confirmed that they did it not from being offended but as a joke. Assuming you're not lying get all 4 of your premade buddies to comment here and if someone refuses... well, you just found which one was the asshole who got your account permabanned as a "joke".
