Banning system unfair

So yesterday when I was playing I had a pretty bad game. I went something in the line of 2/8/?. The lux in our team was pissed off because the person I was laning against roamed and killed her in the earlier stage of the game. So all game long she insulted me and called me things like braindead, handicapped %%%%%%ed etc. She then went on to tell me I should die and kill myself and that my whole family should die as well. I reported her and nothing came of it.

A few days maybe a week prior to this my friend and I was playing and he got mad. So he called the person a homophopbic slur during the game multiple times, the same slur. He got permanently banned immediately after. A few months before this one of my teammates called another one the exact same slur and nothing hapenned to that person.

If you understand how the system works, you'll find it quite fair.

Let's have you understand the behavioral system a bit more. Think of it like a health bar (or tension meter) in music games. When you hit the note at an off beat, your tension meter increases. When you completely miss a note, the meter increases by alot. When you hit the note at perfect timings, it reduces the meter.

Riot's behavior system works the same way, as in we all have a toxicity meter attached to our accounts. When players are mildly toxic, it goes up a tad. When people use hate speech, it fills up the meter pretty quickly.

That said, it is possible for playerA to get punished and playerB not to, even though the toxicity was at the same severity. Let's say playerA started the game with the toxicity meter at 60% and playerB's at 35%. Ingame, both playerA and playerB used hate speech and both gains 50% on the toxicity meter. Now playerA is at 110% toxicity and gets punished, whereas playerB is at 85%, and not punished in that specific game, even though playerB used the same behavior as playerA in that game.

When punishments are handed out, the whole behavioral history has to be taken into account, not just that game alone.

people don't get banned for that but I get banned for "arguing" with my team, "WHY WOULD YOU TARGET THE ANIVIA LOL SHES USELESS" or "TARGET KARTHUS AND PANTHEON AND WE WIN THE GAME, EVERYONE ELSE ON THEIR TEAM IS USELESS" xD
