story time! ok so

i was playing top vs fiona as teemo, and owning her. i got her low health and she went back to heal, but instead of coming up top she came up straight up mid, didnt even bother hiding it, and flat out rushed our mid. who then blamed me for not pinging she was missing, which i had no reason to because it wasnt unreasonable time gone and was less then 5minutes in. i was lvl 3. LOL

so then mid tilted and blamed me, even though i heavily outleveled my lane and won my lane. and i normally suck at this game so im used to people blaming me for sucking and taking it... but this time this reaction was way over the top.

anyhow within their toxicness they called me a %%%%%%, so i decided to have a little fun with them XD ima girl but i have a gender neutral username... so i played into it. played the part as a "%%%" and said "yes ima %%% and you sound like your a hot and bothered alpha, flame me more it turns me on, call me %%% plz" and flirted with them, and definitely pushed the lines with appropriateness but didn't cross lines nothing super sexual, just things like yes yes yes gimme more daddy ;] and they got super pissed off. lol

at the end they tried to get people to report me for sexually harassing them, but he was the one that everyone else reported along with me. we lost the game but my teammates were highly amused at our mid going nuts and our enemy team was like wth happened cuz my replies werent /alled i disabled all chat so i didnt see what they had to say till the end. mid was all chatting. so they only got half of it. at end they were like what were you saying to mid?! LOL XD

and i never got a warning from riot so i guess his report was dismissed as ridiculous, but since the jury for this thing is random, im curious what other people think.

was i being toxic? XD i wish i had a chat log to show you it was actually pretty great, i had a blast, even if i had been banned or suspended it would have been worth it. it was GREAT.

Don't provoke the trolls. Especially don't provoke the trolls by using hate speech yourself.

You fucked up actually; the f word is a trigger word for the system, and it will issue a ban regardless of context (if you say it twice). Better pray no one reported you or the system didn't catch you

Technically yes, If that player felt bothered by you and "the system" / the person reviewing your report thinks so too, you could get banned. (Or rather, punished, If you never got messaged by Riot before.) Riot does not distinguish between flaming someone "back", toxic behaviour is toxic regardless of your target.

Also keep in mind that one game is usually not enough for any kind of punishment, (unless you use the big "no-go" words and even then I'm not sure) so even If your behaviour was out of line, you probably won't see punishment for it.

My personal opinion however is that you did great, way too few people have fun in this game and it sounds like at least the four of you enjoyed it.

Yes, stop flirting and play the game. Andyour example isnt even flirting. Its egging them on. Focus on the game.

I mean, that's fine and all but i would seriously refrain from using any derogatory terms etc. when you are doing this because they can get you banned.

So you provoked some1 into flaming.

was i being toxic? XD i wish i had a chat log to show you it was actually pretty great, i had a blast, even if i had been banned or suspended it would have been worth it. it was GREAT.

Yes, you were toxic. And by the way you described how "you had a blast" at provoking some1, you look like a bigger douche than your mid. Next time just mute and report. Cuz this shit made you look way worse than your mid imo.
