to preface: never received a chat restriction, warning, leaver buster, etc. honor level 3+. diamond 4 mmr.

had a duo queue in my game last night. had them a couple lobbies before and one threatened to afk, but thankfully the game dodged. one dies 3 or so times, says afk incoming, leaves the game shortly thereafter. he was duo queue with our mid. at this point, rather than afking or sitting at fountain like i would like to do, i run around to lanes, cs, go for kills, etc. as the threat of an afk then the actual afk doesn't make the game fun. i did not run it down, feed, etc. i finished the game 2/3. by the end of the game, my entire team was sitting in fountain not playing except for me. i will admit that i had essentially given up at this point, but down double-digit kills in mid-diamond with a 4v5 within the first 10 minutes of the game isn't enjoyable. once again, i didn't feed kills, use slurs, etc.

i contacted riot via live support today and explained the situation. i asked how this one game could justify a 2 week ban. they said because i "trolled the mid lane". the rioter acknowledged he saw the jungle type "afk" and saw the jungle afk after. he also said he knows the system isn't perfect but it is what it is and it can't be reversed.

after trying to explain that the mid lanes duo was afk and the game was already ruined by that point (we were already losing horrible anyways), i might as well have just tried to gnaw my own arm off. me running mid and bot as a top laner just csing and hitting enemy champs apparently is worse than leaving the game outright as the guy who afk'd is still playing games today.

in the future, i should just disconnect my internet until the game is over and accept my 5 minute leaverbuster. instead, i stayed and half-assed the game and received 2 week ban simply because the mid laner felt griefed by me after his duo ruined the game.

does this seem fair? at this point, i am probably done with this game as there was just too much time into the account, but at the very least, i'd like to know that i'm not crazy in thinking that this seems a bit ridiculous.

I don't think you're telling the whole truth; playing the game like how you say you did ofc doesn't deserve a ban. You seem kinda shady in your side of the story here tbh; but ofc bad gameplay =/= trolling. Something seems fishy here...

logs or gtfo.

Either way, someone else being an idiot is not an open invitation to descend to their level.
