Will I be banned for Sarcasm?

I haven't been banned or anything, but is saying things sarcastically considered toxic? In context, the game would be like 20-0 and then my ADC gets the first death so it's 20-1 on the team and I say "wow such a feeder". Or I'll be like 0-3 in lane then I'll kill my lane opponent and be 1-3, then I say "such a feeder", is that considered toxic? I think it's hilarious and I laugh out loud when I read stuff like that, but will I be banned for it if I perhaps ended up in the tribunal?

the good thing is that you can actually be sarcastic when flaming and it won't be detected

So when your adc feeds and you comment each death with "wp" or "gj m8" you won't get banned lol

You are basically accusing another player a feeder, on top of the in the expense of your humor you also made falsifying claim about the player being a feeder, and is considered bullying. I do not know why do u need to be passively aggressive towards another player. It might be helarious to you, but the other player is offended by your behavior and may file a report depending the damage u have caused to the player u have been harassing in game. It is up to Riot or Tribunal to ban you, to be honest toxic players are making this game unplayable and Riot should consider perma banning toxic players.

It's prolly not bannable, but only riot can say honestly.

League has a pretty toxic community, and people say harsh stuff all the time. That makes it really hard to detect sarcasm if you're playing with strangers.

For example, the other day I was playing DJ Sona and I had a teammate say "change songs or I AFK". I changed songs right away and got defensive in chat, until the player apologized and clarified that he was messing with me. I may have gotten the joke... except that literally one game before, I had somebody rage and ultimately AFK due to my song selection.

So, ultimately, I wouldn't risk it.

Nah i've never gotten in trouble for sarcasm. calling an opponent a feeder when they are most definitely not is strange to me but it's not reportable.

yes, yes u will. Im a pretty toxic player no doubt about that, but i was really pissed off when i got a 14 day suspension after saying "racist and toxic things". The game was a stomp, me and my adc were basically raping them. Even after they 4 manned us we got a 2 for 2 etc. It was without a doubt we were gonna win, then at about 16 mins my adc lucian (i was thresh) got caught in the enemy jungle. I typed in "wow such a feeder" "maybe u shoulda stayed in the cotton field". And yeah thecotton field remark was racist, but that was the only thing, rest were silly chats about feeding and stealing my blue. After we won i felt pretty good because i was on a winning streak and finaly wasnt flaming. And then just as i load up into champ select i get suspended... because i told a 12/2 luc he was a feeder

I wouldnt risk it. I was called toxic for saying "We have to improve a bit on botlane, the enemy has 30% more cs" the answer of the jungler, who was premade with the ADC was: "SHUT THE F_CK UP YOU TOXIC ASS_O_E I WILL R_PE YOUR MOM NIG___"

Then i said nothing in chat, took his red buff, told him i did it. I also pointed out it is not reportable to do that, etc. Which made him rage even more. Then i answered "Please stay polite, i don't like insults". Then a whole stream of insults in caps followed. He got punished. But that showed me how sensitive people in this game are. So i would not risk sarcasm.

That's some shit me n my friends say to eachother over voice chat. I would not say it in chat though. It's hard to detect sarcasm without tonality. I personally would figure you're being sarcastic and I usually take things as a joke anyways, but there's a lot of super sensitive players out there who would take it seriously. And it's not even that bad of them because with this community, people will freak out on you for little mistakes. So using past experience, they might think you actually are being serious.
