Chat PermaBan instead!?

Hey there. My original account was banned because I typed too much. I cursed and typed paragraphs instead of playing the game when I got tilted. I know, I know. It's annoying.

However. That account ban has been perma'd for over a year now, and few days go by without me thinking it was unjustified. I agree that I broke the rules and the punishment is what it is, however, I still firmly believe that a full account ban isn't justice for typing reports alone.

I understand that there are a lot of people that troll, afk, INT, or use racial slurs, etc.

I understand those permabans. But a year and a half later and I still do not believe that the punishment matches the action.

You can disagree with me, and that's fine. I know my original account is permanently gone, and in no way am I trying to get it back.

I just don't want others to feel the way that I do, and I don't believe it is a decent punishment.

Hell, I'd even go as far to say a chat ban for a year, or a 1,000 games.

But PERMANENTLY banning an account that someone has years and thousands of dollars in, all because someone was offended by what I said?

Because as it stands now, it's not what you say that reports you. It's who you say it to, and if they are offended by it.

i just wish those tilted inting trolls that run it down mid would get banned as easily as people who talk in chat.

Riot had what was essentially permanent chat bans in the past, as chat restrictions would stack up ad infinitum. What Riot discovered was that it did essentially nothing to discourage toxicity, and that when people were unable to express their toxicity through words, they instead turned to gameplay toxicity, which is significantly harder to track.

Riot decided that the best way to cut out toxicity from the game was to give a few warnings, but then if it became clear that the offender would not change their actions, then they would simply be removed from the game.
