How does this deserve a 14 day account suspension Riot

SERIOUSLY RIOT I understand I used the oh so fucking sacred "n" word, but it had fucking context. It's a fucking word, and while yes it can be used to incite hate, how the actual fuck does it demand a 14 day immediate account suspension. No one was hurt by the comment, no one said anything against it, and the person who reported it probably wasn't even hurt by it. I was in nearly a full premade party and we were all having mindless fun. T The fucking context matters, fix this fucking bullshit of an automatic punishment system. You demonize and empower the god damn word by throwing around useless and excessive punishments like these. No one learns and you just hurt your already declining player base. FYI, NO I didn't edit the in game chat. This was literally all I put in the chat from the lobby to the end of the game. Honestly what the actual fuck Riot.

There is absolutely no context in League in which that word is anywhere near acceptable. Further, you said a hateful word was somehow a compliment. You're saying that being demeaned, discriminated against, and hated for your skin tone is a compliment.

Suspension well deserved. I hope we don't see you back with a permaban after this suspension ends. However, your attitude is not welcome in League, so I fear we likely will, as you seem to have no desire to actually change that sort of attitude.

Nearly does not mean fully. You subjected a stranger to your toxicity. If you aren't a full premade, keep it out of public chat.

just hurt your already declining player base.

Interesting, because League is still the most played game in existence, and their playerbase has shown absolutely no decline (stagnated growth, yes, but not decline).

I don't think whoever you said it to, took it as a compliment.

"You are a dumbass." "It's a compliment." "Dumbass is a compliment."

There’s no excuse for this language in league. If you’re “defending” someone because this was said, than on some level you understand this is unacceptable behavior. Repeating this word frankly exacerbated the situation. They have a zero tolerance stance on this. Saying it even as a joke shows how seriously Riot takes the use of this word.

FOR EVERYONE ASKING FOR THE CONTEXT; Someone on the enemy team /allchatted and called one of my teammates the scary n word. No one was offended. On a whim, I commented back what I commented almost immediately and no one batted an eye, then we all forgot something was even said and went back to the game. Then 10 minutes later I told our team to go top for whatever it was we were doing at the time. THATS IT. There was no negative context, it was quick positive banter to someone else who had already uttered the word in a negative context. I repeat, context matters. A zero tolerance policy is horse shit when it comes to banning someone’s whole account for two weeks for something like this.

I feel like riot is using accounts to downvote there own threads to silence this type of thing.
