My first ever punishment (Chat restriction), since 2012

On 11/1/19, I received a chat restriction. Prior to it, I was Honor 5, season before, Honor 4, before that, Honor 5. I even had the Holiday Nashor Icon. However, with Season 9 ending on Nov. 19, I won't be able to make it from Honor 1 to 2, missing out on end of season rewards.

The imgur links to a couple related images/videos, with the names blurred out. To give context, it started out with one game, where I told my support he could block Thresh hook with Neeko clone, and then he replied saying I could've just dodged the hook, and from there it devolved. Second game, (the game where I got chat -restricted) I got the same support again. I didn't dodge, and played Ezreal, so I could 1v2 the lane while they roam, but it didn't turn out that way. I typed too much and ended up getting punished. I didn't think I said anything punishable, I didn't say any slurs or insults, although I admit I definitely had a negative attitude, since my support is literally stealing CS and griefing me the entire lane. I didn't give up on the game, I didn't hold my heal so my support dies.

If there's anything to learn, you should just mute all when somebody starts flaming you. Don't risk getting the punishment, when most likely they will get punished themselves, eventually.

What do you think of my chat-restriction? Well-deserved, unfortunate?

A bit of well-deserved but mostly unfortunate.

Well-deserved - Just glance at your chat, you both are correct. You could have dodged the hook, and he could have blocked it with Neeko clone but after that point you should have just stopped, but you continued to try to prove that you were right.

Unfortunate - Taking your word here, that you didn't dodge and tried your best. Reading the crap he posted after post-game was unfortunate as well. Deal with toxic people in the way you describe "you should just mute all when somebody starts flaming you. Don't risk getting the punishment, when most likely they will get punished themselves, eventually."

Best of luck. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

You deserved it.

Why would you write anything that you wrote, there was nothing constructive in what you typed. (Except the hook block, what should be common sense in dia...).

Since Rito considers chat much more important than gameplay, he will roam free and you get punished. I recommend you to use chat ONLY for shotcalls, and that's all.

Nothing constructive was sent, why engage after the first reply?[zombie-brand-mindblown]

honestly i'm in the same boat. I switched ADHD medicine about 6 months ago (about june-ish) and got 14 day suspension. I've climbed for the past month and a half through the level 0 hell and now sitting at honor 1, checkpoint 2. I won't make it to the end of season rewards most likely but i'm doing my best to make a lasting positive impact for my team. I agree with your mute all situation and i will add that disabling summoner names has helped myself TREMENDOUSLY with getting angry at others. I'm sorry this happened to you as teammates can be very toxic for no reason and feel they can get away with it. i wish you best of luck next season, friend.

you spent the whole game typing negative things and being toxic towards teammates instead of playing the game, punishment well deserved.

IMO that private chat should not have been engaged/is also bannable. Loudly gloating in other people's punishments is admission of exploiting the report system, but Riot is too chickensh*t to take a stand.

League always had that "don't get punished 2 months before the season ends" rule (Even before the Honor system existed). Common knowledge not to flame or type anything when the season is about to end . Very sad for your situation though, Honor 5 and lost everything in one game you could've avoided . Use my name next time Lol.

It's hilarious that being honor 5 and getting one ridiculous chat restriction drops you down to honor 1, which is the exact same place you'd get put if you were honor 2 and got chat restricted. Riot literally does not care that you were honorable all season.

The current punishment system is terrible.

As a support main, I really dislike laning with someone like you. Bonus points if you got hooked while typing.

typically my luck. im begging for that IFS feedback to not feel like my reports are totally useless - i get none. a total douchebag who adds others to make fun of them for being punished gets it.

yay my luck.
