Transcipts for Violations

I just got a warning for the first time. After my last game ended I got a nice pop up for offensive language. But I'm not really sure what I said. As far as I can recall, I only said four things in the entire game.

"gj" (When draven got a kill.) "Never underestimate the power of the scouts code" (I was playing as Teemo Teemo and I said it once when the Ahri Ahri had just tried to 1v1 me for the third time.) "lol" (Occasionally throughout the game, mostly in response to mushroom related all chat) "lol gg" (after the nexus was destroyed at the end because someone told me screw you teemo in much less nice words)

I can see how at least two of the three might be perceived as toxic, but I'm not sure if they were the reason or if I said something else I don't remember at some point during the game.

I definitely don't want to be a toxic player but without knowing why I'm being reported I'm not really sure how to improve my behavior other than just not saying anything the whole game. It's like someone walking up to you and slapping you with a "Don't do that in public" before walking away. It'd be like, "What was I doing? What was so offensive?"

It's very frustrating. I think Riot should provide a transcript of what I said with the toxic parts highlighted. I assume if I got the warning it had already gone through Riot's analysis, so it should have detected what was toxic.

Edit: Two of the four

When you play Satan you'll bring out the worst in people. Be prepared.

Warnings are actually triggered before any analysis of the reports. They are triggered purely on an increase in the rate you get reported.

Okay, that's kind of unfortunate. I think transcripts would be good anyways. Even if you can't see what you said that was toxic, you could at least see what you said overall.

Edit: Are bans the same way? Or just warnings

Reports go through a validation process before being used for punishments. So it is only how warnings work.

I hate how the warnings work. It made a little sense when punishments took forever to be handed out. But now that they usually come immediately following a game it just seems so useless. They are only triggered by getting reported so they can and do pop up from false reports. If you know this then you disregard warnings because no one wants to admit they did anything wrong. If you don't know then (like I suspect happened here) is that you know you did nothing wrong and end up afraid that you are going to get punished and that the system is broken.

I don't think that there is any effective way to really attach logs to warnings though. They would have to process the chat logs from every single report otherwise they would risk giving people a warning along with logs that there is nothing wrong with.
