Will these words slow my honor, or even get me a ban?

I want to know whether or not these words or statement will slow my honor progression or even get me another ban

  1. "ez" or "ggez" these 2 are used at least once at the end of every game and i want to know if riot can ban you on this alone, because i have used these in the everyday game and i would like to know if it slows my honor progress down, if it does then i'll stop(note that if you just dislike people saying it, i dont really care at all) and thats the end of it. I use "ez" when i 1 for 1 or i get a quad or even when i get a twitch penta(because it is so easy to do so with the skilless champ).

  2. "?" or spamming the question mark ping This one is pretty self explanatory putting a question mark after the enemy does a bad play or a questionable towerdive. The issue is when the IFS can't tell between actually pinging ur laner missing and warning another lane. or when it doesnt pick up on your team saying something incoherrant and u putting a question mark, or if they insult you and you just "?"

  3. "KMS" or "kill my self" This one i have always found weird because saying kys will get u instabanned but what a bout when u say kms does that have the same impact or not, you are implying self harm and i am genuinely not sure whether this could warrant a ban or not

  4. including stars in your insult e.g: nier, faot, u little $hit. does the system or riot catch on to this or are you in the clear. Not saying i use these because i am not sure.

  5. il report you or report this "summoner" will asking for a report get u banned or slow your honor progression. p.s i do know that it only takes one report to trigger the system but am asking about this anyways.

Any help will be much appreciated, thx and glhf in your games. (sorry for any mistakes english isn't my first language)

Edit: i just want to put a quick note to express that this list isn't a means of finding loopholes in the system, i just want to know what is okay to say without it affecting the player. This list of words isn't just for me, i just want there to be a base list to be used as a reference for other posts talking about this cause I have seen constant posts about each of these with no means to prove them

Stop trying to find loopholes so you can harass your teammates without getting punished. Try just not being a negative player.

Just depends on how you use it, and the player.

why even risk your account with them or why even need to say them? Point 2 and 3 can arguably be fine as long as you don't continuously spam them. Why is there even a need or situation where you need to say point 1, 4, and 5?

all of them can get you punished.

I haven't seen anyone get punished for ggez but people tend to look at it as bad sportsmanship.

Don't spam pings. It has previously been used as a harassment tool by players and if you try to use it as a harassment tool, you can be punished for it. There is absolutely no reason to spam pings.

  1. "KMS" or "kill my self" This one i have always found weird because saying kys will get u instabanned but what a bout when u say kms does that have the same impact or not, you are implying self harm and i am genuinely not sure whether this could warrant a ban or not

In what context would you ever use this outside of trying to express frustration to your teammates in a negative way? You can be constructive to players when they do something you think is bad.

  1. including stars in your insult e.g: nier, faot, u little $hit. does the system or riot catch on to this or are you in the clear. Not saying i use these because i am not sure.

Don't use hate speech at all. Not only does the IFS catch the full common spellings, it catches intentional misspellings. You will get a zero tolerance policy punishment. You can search through the forums to see how creative people have tried to get around the IFS and have been caught.

  1. il report you or report this "summoner" will asking for a report get u banned or slow your honor progression. p.s i do know that it only takes one report to trigger the system but am asking about this anyways.

There is no need to ask for reports. A game gets reviewed if there is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and in the magical case that someone reports themselves, ten reports. You can state that you are reporting someone but leave it at that. Don't use it as a platform to start harassing or flaming someone.

Honestly, you shouldn't tell anyone you're reporting them because typically they'll stop their behavior because they don't want to get punished for the things they were going to say. However, that doesn't really fix the problem does it. Just mute them and let them go on their rants and raves and report them at the end of the game and they will have dug their own grave. What works better is to try and deescalate a situation, and if that doesn't work, then mute the problem players and report them at the end of the game. Sometimes, when you tell someone you are reporting them, they will do their best to stealth troll you and make your game hell by not doing anything that is clearly punishable but in the grey area of being punishable.

Any help will be much appreciated, thx and glhf in your games. (sorry for any mistakes english isn't my first language)
