Really supprised about this punishment...

WeaselRune·11/17/2018, 11:30:32 PM·2 votes·3,500 views

I got a 10 game chat restriction, and honor 0 (EDIT:_ honor locked at 1, I just assumed it went to 0_) for one match chat-log apparently.

Can someone please help me, I feel this has to be a mistake, an over-reaction from the automated system. There was some responses post game, but the blitzbot didnt see fit to include those. No name calling, or anything there. Worst thing I say is "out of your mind(s)" and reference KDAs, not in an attempt to shame but asking for comparison to mine in reference to the accusation that I was intent feeding and should be reported for it.

Was this one chatlog really so toxic that it deserved a punishment from this one game?

Down to "you can check the chatlog" was the end of my interaction with our jg. Their gank didnt go well, and they kept flaming me. Normally I dont tell people theyre muted, but they were filling the chat with flames, I wanted them to stop typing at me and play. Despite telling them "muted" they ask me why I didnt respond to their questions in post game lobby. They typed at me all match anyway.

Our Trist wanted to get in on the game and flame me, so they intent fed and blamed me in team chat: (Ill remove the link) Not trying to name & shame, just context for whats going on. If you want to see a video of trist intent feeding, you can look for it on plays.tv, search for Hero_Weasel, titled "I was blamed for this."

Our ADC WAS intent feeding, and I call it out. I thought I muted the trist after that display, but I only muted pings and once they flamed me again (I messed up an alistar combo, they say failing combos isnt the best strat or some such; going afk in base to do it) I tell them "going afk to shttalk isnt best either." Then I go back and mute them for sure.

The grag is at least playing around me, heca and trist walk the opposite direction when I show up, heca even casually walks by when I was fighting off an enemy. When grag starts swearing at me, and asking the enemy team to report me for all sorts of stuff, I tell him to "join reality bro" and I mute him too.

I got a lot of verbal abuse, but when I saw that the tilt was too far gone, or they were griefing, I muted.

The only one who wasnt toxic was teemo, he said one thing "we probably cant win." Interestingly no one said anything to him about dying/doing poorly... Too busy raging at me I guess.

I didnt call anyone trash, useless, retarded, noob, or tell anyone to stfu, cuss anyone out, or actually intent feed. I know people will say "just mute" but I did once they showed they were tilted out of their minds.

I wanted to call these people all sorts of things, but I didnt... I wasnt trying to make things worse, I wanted the people that were trying, to be focused on working with the others that wanted to play, not flame.

I just dont think thats the "one game chat log" that should get a 10 game chat restriction and honor 0 (EDIT: locked at honor 1 I had assumed it was 0). If someone can look at this, I would be grateful.

Should have muted earlier, and left it be. You don't get to control other people's actions in the game, but you can control yours.

I've been well versed in chat bans, and other bans as well. I'm reformed now, and I'm on my way up to Honor 3.. (Just hit Honor 2 in time for rewards!) The key to not getting banned is to always watch what YOU say.

To me, You did literally nothing wrong if those are the only logs. This is where the system is so freaking sensitive you have no idea what youre in trouble for or what someone reports could been seen as "breaking the rules". Like Who reported this!? seriously..

I hate that mentioning someone elses KDA is considered negative behavior. Maybe dont make such a competitive and stressful game then Riot... otherwise people caring how their team is or is not doing is always gonna get the person who cares more in trouble..

I got a 10 chat restriction for telling my teammates to mute my toxic support and told him to stop being such a toxic jerk. He told me "girls can't play video games" and all kinds of dumb BS, pinging me over and over and over and telling the enemy team what an idiot I am, telling jg to not come bot and gank, etc. This went on for 45 mins and although I muted him, I could still hear he was still going off from my team's responses to him. So I got a 10 game chat restriction for telling him to stop feeding and sit back on the turret and let me farm and stop being so dramatic. I don't understand that punishment at all. The entire enemy team apologized to me post-game and my team kept telling him to shut up. I would find it really hard to believe that I got a report from anyone other than my support and I got that kind of punishment.

Bear in minds that reports have to be validated first so when someone reports there's no reason to worry if you haven't done anything wrong. Now what is really important is this : even if ppl are asking others to report your for flaming/inting/afk, the best thing to do is to not defend your case during the game otherwise the automated system may "think" you were actually flaming. Simply put, ignore the whole situation, don't respond and type /mute all and you'll be fine. I advice you to respond to Sir. Blitzbot until you reach a real person to get more clarification. Although, when involved in such things, I assume that the only thing that may salvage you is whether or not you actually tried to calm the situation but unless I'm wrong your logs doesn't seem to go in that sense.

If you're down to lvl0 honor for that, it also means that you were already lvl1 hence that you had a similar penalty recently. You should be careful if you don't want your account to get a banned.

I'll preface this by saying that I did not read any of the replies to the OP, only the OP itself:

From my perspective... from my experience with this recently... this is what Riot Player Support is going to tell you if you push the issue.

1.) Context does not matter. Your words in those logs will be read without that context and your punishment will stand based on those words without context. 2.) They CAN issue a punishment over 1 match. They have no obligation to establish a trend/pattern. One match is all that is required. 3.) Unless the system made a mistake, which is highly unlikely, you WILL NOT get it reversed due primarily to #1.

Now, again, I don't agree with all of what I'm about to say... but this is very likely the reply you will get from Riot Player Support about your toxic behavior:

"jg that dont ping their ganks" - You are marginalizing your teammate's skill here which is negative behavior.

"muted" - There is no reason to tell another player this. You are only escalating the situation with this comment.

"[ALL]: trist is blaming me for that" "[ALL]: iv had to mute the jg, and the adc is afk'ing" "[ALL]: toxic af over here" For the above 3 lines of chat, you are calling out your teammate's negativity which doesn't help the situation and instead creates negative sentiment from those teammates onto you. This is negative behavior.

"kd better than urs is inting?" - Here you are flaming another player and escalating, 2 counts of negativity.

"then wtf r u doing?" - escalating the situation from a discussion into an argument. Negative behavior.

"look at the kdas, join reality bro" - There's no reason to ever state or draw attention to another player's KDA.

Based on this one chat log you have 8 lines of toxic behavior on your account which is enough to merit a chat restriction. Have fun with your 400+ game grind back to honor 2. Welcome to Riot 2019.
