I'm not here to appeal a ban since I can and will just make a new account, but I just thought this was hilarious. I'll give you the context first and then the chat logs. Seriously you're going to love this.

So let's just get the most important thing out the way first: this was a normal match. I have never played a single ranked match on this account, so right off the bat any punishment I receive should automatically be less harsh than what I would receive had I broken the rules in ranked. Think we can all agree on that. So anyway, we get into the game and the enemy Ziggs is talking shit to our Garen saying something along the lines "I'm going to beat you easily". Because I assumed Ziggs was going to attempt to back up his words with actions and immediately play aggressive, I ran top and stood in the bush. Almost as soon as I did this, my team types in all chat "REPORT SHEN TROLLING".

I had no idea running top for a level 1 cheese gank ( especially when you are running teleport and can just go bottom soon after to support ) was trolling, but I reason with myself that I should just not say anything and feed into THEIR toxicity. I can't even remember what exactly happened, but I know we eventually kill the Ziggs meanwhile everyone is still talking shit, especially Yasuo. Bear in mind I also went mid and got Yasuo kills too - I'd show you but I can no longer download the replay and upload it, but I literally saved him from dying with an E and gave him a double kill. Miss Fortune starts talking massive amounts of shit, including calling everyone on the team "%%%s", and so I decide to not go bot and lane with her. Before I continue, I would just like to point out that I reported her for saying that and never received Instant Feedback. I thought homophobic remarks had no place in League?

At any rate, our team loses. During the entire game, I only speak three times ( which you're about to see ).

> In-Game Atherisse: ok good shit Atherisse: lol Atherisse: GG Post-Game Atherisse: So if you must know, what happened was I ran top and stood in the bush for a level 1 cheese gank against Ziggs Atherisse: and immediately they typed "shen trolling report" Atherisse: so i got tilted Atherisse: and decided to give them a legit reason to report me Atherisse: next time, dont report someone just cos they run top and stand in a bush. thats not trolling, its called a cheese gank, retards. Atherisse: exactly. Atherisse: because everyone was already typing "OMG SHEN IS TROLLING" Atherisse: MF was calling me a %%% in team chat Atherisse: so why would i go bottom Atherisse: would you go bottom and support someone while they were calling you a %%%

Your eyes do not deceive you. All I said during the game was "ok good shit", "lol", and "GG". When I was banned, the message said that my "in-game comms were extremely inflammatory and offensive". Again, bear in mind, the person who called everyone the team "%%%s" goes free with not even a chat restriction but I'm getting permanently banned for "ok good shit" because that's apparently considered extremely inflammatory and offensive.

But let's give Riot's moderation team the benefit of the doubt here. Let's say they reviewed the game and decided that it wasn't necessarily what I said IN-GAME that got me banned, but what I said after. Ok. The only inflammatory thing I said was "retards". Do you think someone should be permanently banned from the game for saying "retards" post-game? Ok. Let's give them ANOTHER benefit of the doubt and assume it was a combination of both me saying "retards" in post-game chat and the fact that I never went bottom to support a player who called everyone on the team "%%%s". I forgot to mention earlier she started inting as well, she said it was to "teach us a lesson" or something along those lines. Do you think someone should be permanently banned for saying "retards" in post-game chat as well as not going bottom to support an inting homophobe?

Dear Player Behavior team: mind sharing with me whatever you've been smoking? Thanks in advance.

This did not warrant a permanent ban. At the least, it should've gotten me a chat restriction, and at the most it should've been a temporary suspension.

P.S. Still would like an answer as to why that Miss Fortune player wasn't penalized in any way for calling the entire team "%%%s".

Ridiculously long-winded way of saying “I repeated hate speech and was banned”.

So... let me get this straight:

You know what that slur means and that it's illegal to use but you repeat it anyway?

Smart!

You don't always receive feedback notifications, it's actually rather infrequent. 2 uses of hatespeech is a 14 day ban tho.

Also, no. Ranked and norms same punishment for chat.

How do you know the mf didn’t receive a chat restriction or ban? If you reported her and she said zero tolerance words, she should have received a ban. The system is designed to not tell you every time someone is punished.

Also I believe your punishment was issued automatically for saying a zero tolerance word in the post game. All you can do is submit a ticket and hope for the best.

What kind of kindergarden bullshit is this? Soon they'll offer diapers and a bottle of milk with every new account.
