Invalid Instant Feedback Escalation
tl;dr Instant Feedback will give you a 15 day ban if you type 'kys', even if you're quoting someone that literally told you to do it, and not actually encouraging someone else to commit suicide
I think there's a problem with Instant Feedback. I recently received a (deserved) 10-Game Chat Restriction. I played through that, tempered my behavior (not enough, obviously), and continued.
Tonight I logged in with a 2-Week Suspension. According to the Instant Feedback FAQ, this is the appropriate escalation path:
First Offense: 10 Game Chat Restriction Second Offense: 25 Game Chat Restriction Third Offense: Two Week Suspension Fourth Offense: Permanent Suspension
'However, it is possible to skip to a Two Week or Permanent suspension based on the severity of the behavior in the game. Excessive negative behavior can result in a Two-Week or Permanent suspension at any time without having a chat restriction on the account.'
So, apparently, the Instant Feedback System thinks that my behavior was so severely awful that it skipped the 25-Game Restriction and jumped straight to a two week suspension. Now, I'm not disputing that my behavior wasn't potentially deserving of another Chat Restrictions, but this system lacks context, and that's a problem. Had I received a Chat Restriction, I could have powered through the games with Mute-All and actually gotten the Ranked Rewards I earned this season. They might only have been Silver Rewards, but I started in B5 this season and the climb was a big deal for me.
I'm nearly 100% certain that the system saw 'kys' in the chat logs, and instantly escalated that to a two week suspension based on that fact alone. The problem? I was quoting someone else that told me and our top lane to kill ourselves, not telling anyone else to do it.
The following are the games that got me banned - I'd like to reiterate that I understand some sort of punishment was justified, but I think the system saw 'kys' and automatically escalated to a 2 week suspension despite the context
Game 1 [A couple of people are pinging our AFK Kayn and Trist at the start of the game. Kayn comes in and tells everyone to shut up, Trist jumps straight to 'KYS'] Jånnå: That's a little rude for the first thing to be said, don't you think? Jånnå: Right then. Jånnå: Well Jånnå: I knwo someone going on mute and getting reported Jånnå: Yeah and your duo is a toxic pos who just told the team to kill themselves. [I get it. I shouldn't have engaged with them.] Jånnå: I knwo who I'd rather be duoed with Jånnå: Muted. [I unmute Kayn because he wasn't actually with Trist, he continues being extremely toxic to the rest of us - fun fact, we also got Instant Feedback Reports after this game that action was taken against at least one of them.] Jånnå: well here I thought I'd take you off mute since you weren't duo with the toxic trist Jånnå: But I guess not Jånnå: No Jånnå: Yeah peopel get upset at jerks. Weird. Jånnå: He's got everyone on mute, so type to him until your fingers fall off. [Referring to my own Duo Partner. I should have done this too, not disputing that] Jånnå: You're gonna have to go back on mute. Jånnå: Then you should have used it. [Kayn complains that when people have him muted, he can't communicate with them so he won't gank any lane that has him muted. I actually never put him back on mute, despite saying I would. If I had, this probably would have been avoided. I get that.] Jånnå: TIL pings aren't communication. Jånnå: lol Jånnå: because that made sense Jånnå: If he muted your pings, don't you think I'd tell you that when I told you he muted you8? Jånnå: Right Jånnå: And you can Jånnå: Smart. Jånnå: A good jg knows when lane needs help Jånnå: Sall Im saying Jånnå: How has he been an asshole when he's not even engaging with you? Jånnå: And I'm the triggered one. Aiight. Jånnå: He called the people pinging you clowns. Jånnå: You don't know how to read. [Kayn continues to complain about our top.] Jånnå: Or he's. You know. Pushing top while they're all busy elsewhere. Jånnå: Imagine doing something that isn't being an asshole. Jånnå: Wow [Kayn Goes AFK for 3 Minutes] Jånnå: Guess yo8u're being reported for afk as well as being toxic. cool. Jånnå: He called you a 12 year old because the first thing you said to your team was 'shut up' when we pinge dyou into game Jånnå: Knock it off, jfc. Jånnå: Hates toxic people like you and trist. Jånnå: Yeah. Funny how that happens. Jånnå: 'kys; is toxic, trist. yeah. okie indeed [This is the part that I think caused the punishment to escalate past a chat restriction and onto a suspension - I said KYS, but I was quoting someone else] Jånnå: ... Yes. Jånnå: Yes, when trist syas 'kys' Jånnå: And teemo says 'saying kys is toxic' Jånnå: What? Jånnå: Are you TRYING to make sense? Jånnå: Alright. You're not trying to make sense. Alright. Jånnå: lol. Yeah, the 1/4/19 raka troleld all game. Jånnå: Make more sense.
I'm posting the other two games on the report because I have nothing to hide, I understand my behavior was out of line but it doesn't call for a 2 week suspension (skipping the 25 game chat restriction).
Game 2 Jånnå: ? Jånnå: Good ward clear. Jånnå: They came because they knew you were going there. Jånnå: That's the first time they've been here tho lol Jånnå: They cam ebecause they knew you were going there. Jånnå: Does it feel good to finally be relevent? Jånnå: Well, numbers say we're winning, so. Jånnå: And the kills Jånnå: And the lack of deaths Jånnå: Those too Jånnå: ONLY A LITTLE Jånnå: I think we're still winning Jånnå: We didn't kill you with jg lol Jånnå: That was all varus Jånnå: Let's not foccus the tank supp when we go in on them, y eah? Jånnå: Can we not all be in one lane Jånnå: When they're pushing Jånnå: Please Jånnå: Normal != make bad decisions Jånnå: That doesn't mean people should make bad decisions. Jånnå: Who's his other 3 kills, huh Lux? Jånnå: Ya'll turning toxic for no reason Jånnå: lol Jånnå: 1 != 3, sorry Jånnå: No Jånnå: I just told you guys that not everyone needed to be in one lane while thye were pushing Jånnå: There's nothing toxic about that. Jånnå: You turned it toxic. Jånnå: But no one's mad. Jånnå: ^ Jånnå: And you're on mute. Jånnå: Children. Jånnå: lol Jånnå: You're on mute now, too. Jånnå: Everyone's so toxic for a normal game Jånnå: Who the hell is bitching? Jånnå: The only thing we're doing is responging to your two friends here. Jånnå: If they can't take it, don't dish it. Jånnå: You learn that when you're ten. Jånnå: I guess everyone's going on mute and being reported. Jfc. Jånnå: It's normals. All I did was make a statement. Jånnå: You all turned it toxic. Jånnå: Lol. Jånnå: Apparently we're toxic for pointing out one bad call earlier. Jånnå: So yeah, need to let loose. Jånnå: Oh, I'm sorry. You did in private, mb. Jånnå: No, we got quiet because our team went toxic, and it was better to say nothing to no one at all. Jånnå: Yeah, that's why. Jånnå: Not too good because you couldn't push nexus. 😕 Jånnå: Talk to my Varus. He decided being toxic with his trio was more important than actually playing for objectives. Jånnå: Hey yeah I didn't run in to die
Game 3 Jånnå: very nice, sir Jånnå: omfg. Jånnå: can we like Jånnå: try pushing or something? Jånnå: Bard's never here to protect her Jånnå: Beautiful boys Jånnå: For...what? Jånnå: it is Jånnå: Literally every bard supp I have ever seen roams Jånnå: lol no you haven't Jånnå: Well it seemed to work out for you mid lane so Jånnå: I'm unsure why you're upset Jånnå: ....? Jånnå: What ar eyou talking about this time? Jånnå: Poorly, apparently, because nothing he's saying is making sense. Jånnå: Mute. Move on. Jånnå: Hey guys Jånnå: Keep your bitching to team chat Jånnå: Because I see toxicity Jånnå: And it's not from Bard Jånnå: Well then follow his example Jånnå: Because you're on the road to getting YOURSELVES r eported. Jånnå: Mute each other. Jånnå: Move on. Jånnå: You can be toxic to me all you want. I know what a mute button is Jånnå: You can push if you want kog Jånnå: I can hold bot Jånnå: wow. Jånnå: But not quite. Jånnå: I wasn't even there in time. That was kog.
