I got chat restricted yet no one else got any penalties for the way they acted in their game too.

I understand I might've been too much in the chat when I got chat-restricted, but I'm the only one who's getting penalties cause I was the only one reported.

Our JGler and ADC were practically inting and arguing with me as well as saying we suck. So that means I'm the only one that gets penalties in this game? That doesn't make sense. This honestly is not fair at all just because I was the only one that got reported. I reported them as well. The JGler in my game has multiple games of inting and feeding in their match history yet I do one slip up because they won't forfeit and are just being as equally toxic and lose my lvl4 honor. Yeah that's seriously fair. I've seen multiple incidents on the forums like this too just because someone reports ONE person only and not the rest.

I had people spectating and watching Azir sit afk in the mid and intentionally feed the vlad. The Jhin ran into a team of 4 and inting. Kindred did the exact same thing so I'm the one that gets the entirety of the blame just because I'm only one person and can only report one person? Are you serious?

Is Riot seriously only going to pay attention to the chat and not the scoreboard either? They were literally INTing and being toxic in chat so I'm the only one that gets a penalty?

First, there is no way to tell how close another player is to getting punished. It may be you caught them on a rare bad day, or they haven't hit the threshold to get punished.

For intentional feeding, that's a lot harder to confirm. AFAIK, they haven't developed a good enough algorhythm to differentiate between true inting and low skill/bad game. And Riot errs on the side of bad games to avoid banning innocent players.

All a report does is trigger a review on that player for that match. Multiple people reporting the same person in a given game does not make the system review them any harder.

As for intentionally feeding, that can be hard to prove and takes longer to review but people do get banned for it.

Sadly, the report system is greatly flawed. People who are genuinely toxic often go free, and people just defending themselves from an onslaught of slurs and profanity get chat restricted. I've had it happen to me before.

I was first timing a champion in a NORMAL GAME and I got hard countered and fed. Because an ally duo deemed my champion "braindead" they thought it was impossible to feed unless I was inting on purpose. The two of them cussed me out and flamed me all game asking people to report me for inting. All I did was defend myself explaining why I ended up feeding that game (1st time champion, got countered, he's a 1 trick on his champion etc.) The two of them reported me, and I got chat restricted for toxicity and they got nothing because 2 reports on me is > than my 1 report on the 2 of them.

And when i find out i got chat restricted, this game;s chat logs are on my report.

In the end, a toxic duo has more power over restrictions/reports/penalties than a solo person has. The chat restriction I got was from Duo's unfairly reporting people like me.

ADDITIONALLY

Honor is completely biased as well. So don't be mad about that. the last penalty I received was MONTHS ago. I play league almost every day, and for hours at a time every time I do play. I get honors, occasionally I am most honorable. Yet after hundreds of hours, and months of time, I'm still not even honor level 1 yet. I used to not care about honor at all since i know it is incredibly biased, but now that I am being locked out of Clash events because of a punishment i unfairly received MONTHS AGO I'm a bit peeved.

The fact that Riot wont add an Honor EXP bar even though the entire player base asked for it just goes to show that they are trying to hide something with honor progress. thats why they added the cop-out "honor stages" between levels.

TL;DR

Reporting system is flawed. Do your best and just hope justice is served appropriately even though often times it isn't.

Honor system is BS and Riot acknowledges this with the refusal to add EXP bars. I wouldn't worry too much over your honor except for the content like Clash that we now get locked out of

i would save my time talking to the forums. they always wanna say the player is toxic. but in their games they are the ones that play silently and throw your game into a loss and bypass punishment because they never talk. these people are worse than the verbally agressive sort. you have mute options. why not use them. why cant u just not be a cry baby bitch.

How do you know they haven't gotten a penalty?

Both of my chat restrictions were for chat much less toxic than yours. Consider yourself lucky. Looks like you wanted to ff all game and flamed your team.

It only takes one report to flag someone it doesn't matter how many people report the same person in a match it only counts as one flagged match if that makes sense. On top of that the current automated system only measures based on volume so it takes a couple of matches for someone to get banned unless certain keywords are said such as kys, etc... If those keywords are said then the system picks up on the player much faster. On top of the automated system they do have people who manually go in and check certain reports as well but as you can imagine this is a very time consuming process and not nearly as prevalent as it used to be since the automated system was put in place.

Now my advice to you as someone who has also been banned many times and is currently trying to stay reformed is to just mute people. Or if you don't want to do that give a warning that you are going to mute them if they don't start communicating in a less toxic way. You would be surprised how often that actually gets people to stop being toxic. If they don't stop though seriously I know its hard, especially in a team game to ruin the communication but you need to mute them. It's the only way to protect yourself from getting mad and flaming back. Riot will ban you for arguing even if nothing toxic is said. The chat is meant to be used for positive communication only not to argue for half the game and treat it like a chat room.

In the end don't flame back, "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Also don't get upset it's hard to please everyone just mute and move on until the end of the game it's hard but you need to protect yourself and your account and that is the way to do that.

Because, Riot cares much more about what you say, as opposed to what you do. I always was told actions speak louder than words but nah apparently words can lose a game far more effectively than inting ayy lmao #RiotGibeTheSucc

just because you were the 2nd guy into a fight doesnt make you not guilty

you were acting toxic and got punished, it doesnt matter at all what the other players did or what happened to them

you messed up and got slapped for it, end of thread
