Just got banned, so where do I stand with Riot's banhammer and end of season rewards?

Okay, well recently I hit Plat V after years of being hardstuck Gold, so my serious tryhard quiet self has slowly shifted towards a careless jokester. Issue is, my jokes lay close to dark humor (my bad in hindsight)

I often call out my best friend in chat (as we laugh it out in Discord) as I use offensive words and ping spam him after he fails a flash, sorta in mockery of players who are actually over the top toxic.

Innocent-ish, until I admit I sometimes do it to enemies in all chat nowadays. I do it in an over-the-top way that usually gets across as joking, normally makes people from both teams just type "LMAO", so honestly it seemed inoffensive because what I was doing seemed more satirical than anything else.

Recently I got a 14 day ban, which is, you know what, fine because I've been doing it for weeks and even began thinking Riot would actually never punish me, which made me do it even more.

So here it is, will I still get my end of season rewards for having been banned for 14 days today? (My chat log is full of racial slurs, offensive terms and rarely expresses a "just a joke, fam" to be fully honest)

Very true!

Your not going to get them. Even receiving a one day ban is enough to flag your account to not receive the rewards. I don't know about honor since that system is still fairly new.

quit spreading lies

you lose them if you were punished 3 months before season end

A quick Google suggests you are correct, but now I wonder, are those 3 months from the date I got banned or the date my ban was lifted?

Support member told me that it might be otherwise this season. From what I figured, it's different every season depending Riot's changing policy or smth

Let's think rationally.. Why would Riot hold a grudge for players who were penalized a long time before the season's end? They see value in reform and giving time to players to fix their behavior.

not giving the one guy who got suspended for 14 days and reformed like 6-7 months before the season's end kind of contradicts this mentality. I don't think you should worry. :)

A support member told me otherwise. From what I understood, the possibility to be eligible for end of season rewards depends on Riot's updating policy with each season. Well.. Not understood, but figured.. kinda

When I contacted support, they informed me that they can't tell me if I will receive end of season rewards because their requirements for the rewards were not determined yet. I am getting my hopes up for this.

Satire toxic still offends and bothers other players who may be more serious and trying to concentrate. Especially in Plat.

You'll likely still get your border, IMO. But if you don't then lesson learned hopefully.

Because of the new honor system it's likely you will still get your rewards and last few seasons ended by november, so you need 3 months time of no ban

You should get your border.
