Banned For Joking with my pre-made 5

I understand that hate speech is not something to mess with but as I was not typing into ALL chat and was playing with 4 other friends I've known for years, I don't believe I deserve this ban. I was joking with some friends and they were laughing and saying things back all in a sense of fun. I said some things that would have inappropriate with strangers but not with friends. I don't believe I deserve this ban and support has given up on me by saying that "my ticket has closed." I would just like to see if anyone else is willing to help. My support said that he discussed the topic but I feel like there could have been some type of adjustment since this 14 day ban seems unjust. If you take part in the poll and choose another alternative, I would appreciate a suggestive comment.

To my knowledge the only potential solution might be to contact player support again, with in-client images of your friends each telling you (on another account) that this was not something they minded, or with a link to this thread with all of them posting in it.

If you didn't say anything in all-chat then either a friend reported you (possibly as an attempt to troll you), you had over behavioral issues IN all-chat, or you got a random enemy report and it flagged hate speech. Having ALL of your friends vouch for you is probably your only legitimate hope.

You said you didn't chat in /all? If not then that means a friend of yours in your 4 man pre-made reported you. Talk with your friends about the incident.

As far as your ban. Any time you display any kind of toxicity towards anyone in game you are fully acknowledging the consequences of your actions. Please refer to the summoner code. Take this 14 day ban to learn from the experience.

Next time you queue with friends, and plan on being toxic, it's best to gather in discord as to prevent any false flags on your account.

Good luck, summoner.

There was one case similar where a group reported one of their friends and got him permabanned. The friends in question were on the other team, and none of his teammates reported him. After all 5 friends who reported came to the boards and revoked their report on that thread the punishment was lifted.

I'm not saying it can be done in your case, but it's close though that it might highlight your best course of action.

I would say that even if it was a private discussion that certain elements like hate speech and profuse sexism should still be considered for punishment. There are trigger words for reports y'know? Kys is one of them.

If you honestly feel like you didn't deserve a ban because you were joking in a real weird fashion (because I know I do) with your friends in a friendly and non-threatening manner, you should totally submit a ticket.
