I lost my border and got a 2 week ban for verbally abusing myself in one single game.

So, apparently I lost my border after I got a 2 week ban a week or 2 before the season ended. Prior to this 2 week ban, the last punishment I received was a 10 game chat restriction probably around 7 months prior. Which I deserved, don't get me wrong, but this is quite ridiculous to me. To give context, at the very beginning of this game I had somebody call me a "gay %%%got" as seemingly a joke to me. Being the edgy teen I am, I recently finished watching an iDubbbz video coincidentally and decided to go along with the nami calling me this by calling myself a "gay %%%got" 3 times throughout the game. To my surprise, I got trolled and the person that orignially instigated the joke reported me for some reason.

Here are some screenshots to prove that I got a 2 week ban off a single game.

I was obviously joking when I was typing this in-game. There was no harm to anybody in-game, and if anybody told me it was offensive I would've stopped immediately. I find it really unfair how I have to go into my ranked games being shamed for not having a border off of me joking around in-game with somebody who initially instigated the joke. I didn't have any ill intentions, it was a single game, and my last 10 game chat restriction was a very long time ago. Could somebody please help me out here?

My new username is "crew7". I play the game a tremendous amount so this really makes me feel terrible when I load into ranked games because as a mid-high diamond player people will automatically assume I'm a terrible person which is a terrible thing to have when everybody knows eachother in higher elo.. I don't care about rewards or anything I just want a diamond border

Does "edgy" mean "mindlessly parroting hate speech for no discernible reason"?

You fucked up royally. It doesn't really mean anything that you were targeting yourself, because you still used hate speech, which Riot explicitly has a zero-tolerance policy for.

You can try to claim that you were baited and submit a support ticket in the hopes of leniency, but that's a long shot. You have no idea who reported you; a different teammate could easily have reported BOTH of you for your callous disregard of others as evidenced by your word usage. Since you're behind a computer, nobody has any fucking clue whether you're "joking" with that shit, so just don't say it.

I don't get the joke. What's funny about being gay?

Don't use overly offensive language. This is one of Riots extremely heavily enforced policies, to the point where even saying a trigger once in a match can net you an instant 14-day ban.

Since you already had a 10 game chat restriction, you're lucky that this is ONLY a 14-day ban and not a permaban.

Riot only reverts any punishments if the punishment was given out in error, which is not the case here, sorry :/

Riot is slowly becoming overly PC. We all know this. Don't worry man. We're here for you. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I'm sorry here at SJW central we don't condone homophobia.

Progress!

Yo, got a similar case where I called myself an f as well, getting a 14 days ban.

I mean there was a different context, but if I were you I'd try sending a ticket to the support, as they unbanned me after I explained the situation.
