Hi. So right off the bat i'm gonna say im writing for a friend not myself. So basically, he flamed in a game we played, and got a 14 day ban for flame. My question comes in here, I asked him if he was previously banned or anything for flame, and he said that he never was and the last time he got something like this was in Season 5 as he got some chat restrictions, so I was wondering as to why he got a 2 week ban straight off the bat, and not something like a day, 3 days, a week or something less severe like chat restrictions ? I understand that Riot does this to stop flamers, but I mean like, I personally dont think he should've gotten a 2 week straight away. Any information on this?

Thanks

If he used "hate speech", "racism", or was "excessively toxic", he can be escalated to a two week ban on his first offense.

they also don't care how the other side behaved when they are looking at you. they will look at them separately if it was reported. everyone is responsible for their own actions/reactions and if you flame back at a flamer you are just as likely to get banned

Hello, I'm the friend that got banned. I wish to explain the whole story. I got provoked in all chat by the enemy Shaco so I responded to him when I killed his top laner. The game was looking to be a stomp from their side, but my team came back amazingly well thanks to me and my friend who posted this. I flamed my team's fizz and told him to "kys" to which he didn't respond but I did get 2 honours which means my team didn't hate me that much. I think my reports come from that enemy shaco and his premade top laner. The guy kept on and on about how good that Wukong top was and how I'd cry 5 mins in. I went 3/0 against that same Wukong and I said in all chat something in the style of who's crying now, to which he said kys and no one cares. Enemy adc kept flaming us and I made it my mission to humiliate the enemy team by winning. I kept spamming ez in all chat when we ended their nexus and I spammed ez when I split top and took their inhib. I really don't think I had deserved this 14 day ban, a 3 day one sure, but not 14.

Does anyone think perhaps Riot could reduce my ban to a week? I'll use /mute all from now on with all chat disabled. I am sincerely sorry for flaming those people and I played on my other account and had a simillar situation, BUT in this one I just stayed silent :p (gotta start somewhere right?). If i wrote to their support, do you think they could somehow reduce my sentence? I have only this month to play league and i really wanted to climb some divisions on ranked while i still am free :/

Your friend is openly telling other people to kill themselves, that on its own is already a pretty big offense, and people who blurt out stuff like that generally aren't the nicest people all around.

About the "sudden" 14 days ban, I'd be willing to say your friend is bullshitting you.
