So, sure this isn't good, but of course I get penalized just because they had like a trio or quad queue. This was ONE GAME. I was mainly RESPONDING to them. I would love to be able to show you what they all said but why would Riot implement that? Enjoy the dying game I guess. The post game was because they were going super hard as the game ended.

So, sure this isn't good...

Your chat is far from just "not good". It's inflammatory, insulting, and vulgar. The whole of your chat is inflammatory, so again; it's not just "not good", it's pretty bad.

...but of course I get penalized just because they had like a trio or quad queue.

The size of their premade doesn't matter. The amount of reports you receive in a game doesn't matter. If at least one person reports you, the IFS will review your behavior and punish accordingly. More reports do not increase the likelihood or severity of a punishment.

This was ONE GAME. I was mainly RESPONDING to them.

There's no explicit rule saying that you can only be punished for a multitude of games; hard flaming or egregious misbehavior (as in this case) can certainly warrant an immediate punishment off of one game.

And, as rujitra said, it doesn't matter if you were mainly responding to them; your behavior was well below the standard that Riot expects of the community, and consequently, worthy of punishment.

I would love to be able to show you what they all said but why would Riot implement that?

A very good question. I can easily answer the inverse, though; the reason why Riot wouldn't implement it is because they want you to focus on your own behavior and actually figure out what you need to improve on. Allowing you to see other people's behavior alongside it would simply distract you from being able to understand why you were punished, and you'd simply wind up trying to validate your behavior through other people's misbehavior.

At the end of the day, you are punished for your actions and your actions alone. Other people's misbehavior does not justify your own or exempt you from the rules. Their chat has no bearing on your punishment.

No, you were punished because, as you admit, it "isn't good".

It does not matter that you were responding to, nor what they said/did. Their behavior does not justify your behavior.

I mean... I think asking "why are you trying so hard" is plenty of reason to be banned. Competitive game. Play to win or leave. But the rest of this is just ridiculous as well... I doubt you said anything at all that is not an insult..

Lol. Calling people trash and arguing over bullshit = only punished because multiple people reported you. No. 1 report triggers a review. A system where premade friends can get someone punished JUST by reporting them, would be completely bogus. Anyone can see that. Thats why thats not how it works. You got it wrong dude sorry. You got punished for breaking the rules, not because a premade reported you. Try not to be so narrow minded. And this is obvious but, the actions of others does not permit you to break the rules free of consequence.

Is every post in player behaviour “just defending myself XD”

I'll admit toxic players bring out the worst in me especially when I lose to them, and I do enjoy trash talking, but what I said was nothing compared to what they were saying. Been playing and trash talking for a long time and the text that I got a 14 day for are nothing compared to what I've said like months ago. Flawed system from a flawed company in a very flawed game

The reform card only shows you 1-5 recent games as examples of unacceptable behavior, doesn't mean you were punished for 1 game alone.
