Toxic premade on the enemy team ganging up to trigger a chat restriction
So, I just got chat restricted on an account while ranking vs 3 premade on the enemy team. They gloated and harassed our team while winning and blamed everything on me, They constantly tried to instigate and get my team to hate me. Every time I died, it was some silly and pathetic comment like "nice play" - probably so it won't trigger the report system. I responded rationally with stuff like "winning the game doesn't make you right or what I did a wrong play." There was a lot of chat but no personal insults from my side. They just ganged up and now, without ANY prior warning ever, I got chat restricted. I didn't use any personal insults, nor did I rage at my team.
These were legitimately evil people deriving joy and satisfaction from creating suffering in others - the very definition of trolls. They're ganging up and just trying to anger and taunt people while winning. I find this absolutely horrid and got no trial for my actions or the game (nor did I get a message that they were punished after I reported). The worst I saw in the chat log was "you didn't fn ult" when responding to our raging Malphite and I wasn't even emailed the logs.
I expected I would be but I just got the "I Understand" message. If this game triggered a chat restriction just from 3 people falsely reporting me, there are big problems. While I was "toxic" other games and would be perfectly fine with getting restricted for them, this was not one of them and it's obvious that the threshold pushed was due to this toxic premade. Again, I have absolutely no issue with getting chat restricted for raging at my team etc. but it should be VALID and not merely because 3-4 people choose to make false reports while you already had some valid reports in the past. I was clearly not over the threshold before that game and then was punished instantly after it (clearly no human ever analyzed anything there). This is not fair. Toxic premades making false reports and being counted is NOT OK. I
I find it insulting that I get harassed by them all game and yet I'm the one punished merely for responding to them or existing. Report frequency by itself shouldn't be considered as evidence of anything even if someone were to theoretically get reported 100% of games. It should be analyzed for content and have 0 influence what prior reports there were if nothing incriminating is found. However, it clearly is factored in regardless of whether you're innocent or not. Just being reported makes you look guilty and this game proved that to me. It's as if someone is a suspect in many crimes (reports) and just by virtue of that, they get sentenced to jail.
I know League isn't like the justice system but there should still be some semblance of fairness if they actually remove rewards instead of just chat restricting. You have no trial from peers. You have no chance to defend yourself. You have no context for the chat and yes this does matter a lot, just like in real life. Not everything which seems bad actually is in context. Basically, the system is completely broken and unfair to the accused. It presumes guilt and is Gitmo level transparency.
