"I wish I had a support" is more punishable than making fun of autism.

Apparently, being harassed on a personal level for being autistic and being made fun of for mental disabilities is perfectly fine and is how Riot wants to present themselves.

To make this short: I was a toxic player. However, I turned my ways once my internet was down and I haven't been able to play League for weeks. I played a couple games where everything was fine and in my most recent, and my last, I got into a little scuff with a player. The conversation consisted of:

  • Me mentioning possible tactics for us as a Level 1 cheese
  • Me mentioning the opposing champs damage is ridiculous/long range.
  • My support flaming me and calling me autistic because he walked into a 1v2 and died.
  • Me responding to my support that he needs to realize that we won't win lane versus them especially at 6. I tell him I'm a late game carry.
  • Support continues to flame me and follow me around the map taking my CS before refusing to help me again, making fun of people with mental disabilities, and the jungler joins in because I took a camp of his because I was underfarmed/leveled.
  • Me asking the enemy team ONCE to please report Zilean and i told him what he said is bannable.
  • I said I wish i had a support and in response to something he said, told Zilean the only thing I'm complaining about is him not doing his job and that he has to stay with me, otherwise things like the tower we just lost, will keep happening.
  • Support makes a comment about me flashing when he used an ulti to protect me, I said that I didn't, and he said to watch the replay and I said I don't need to because I'm not blind.

That was the entire summary of the dialogue for that game.

However, I received a permanent ban from a game where I do not believe I was extremely toxic in, and instead it simply counted a report that I doubt the system even went through with my previous offenses. Riot punishes people who become reasonably angry at vicious, narrow minded, and hurtful comments, and does not give them any fair way to reform because of how thin the line a toxic player has to walk in order to even reach back up to even Honor Level 1. If you make the smallest comment that offends a single person, you risk losing your account entirely. If you are brought into an unhealthy environment by Riot's poor system, you are punished for being the victim. I'm not saying to unban my account because quite frankly I'm done. Had I been banned over something that was truly justified, I would be perfectly fine with it. But by choosing to permanently ban me when I was trying to reform because someone targeted mental disabilities and even more specifically autism and I -reacted- to it, you lost a long time player of this game. If this was a sexual assault, you'd basically be looking the victim dead in the eye, and telling them it was their fault for wearing what they did, their fault for not paying attention, their fault for being there at that time of day/night. You want to act like toxic players are actually able to reform in this game. The reality is as long as this system chooses to punish minor comments and seemingly condone extreme acts of cyber bullying, toxic players will never be able to truly reform, because the second they try to, it only takes one negative comment across several games to ruin all of their effort.

"I wish I had a support" is more punishable than making fun of autism.

No, it isn’t “more punishable” if it’s only once. Making fun of autism (or other disabilities) is an escalated 14 day suspension immediately upon confirmation that it occurred.

However, given a history of toxic behavior, it is possible to be permanently banned for “minor” toxicity. You were given your warnings with chat restrictions and 14 day bans. You were not trying to reform. You were trying to be just as toxic as possible without getting punished.

"I wish we had a fair system"

Fair is a very cold and cruel word. Fair doesn't care if what is happening is the best for everyone involved. Fair doesn't care if people need something they are not getting. Fair only cares if the rules are followed and that everyone is covered equally.

No, calling someone autistic will get you punished. You can calmly reply, or mute and report them. You can't flame them back.

I would be highly suspicious if "I wish I had a support" was punishable.

What was your intent in saying "wish I had a support" other than to berate the support for being bad then? I'm curious to hear what legitimate reason to had to say that.

If someone IS being bad, a casual mention at the current game state should be okay.
