Banned for... what? Come on Riot.
So I have just been permanently banned after one bad game where we had an inting/trolling midlaner and a griefing top who flamed our whole team after performing poorly. I bit back at his remarks and ended up with a permanent ban on my account. I was "toxic" in the sense that I actually argued with the player and swore a few times and called one player an idiot (the dude who was clearly trolling, doing emotes and following me around my jungle camps trying to last-hit everything I was attacking for a solid 2 minutes).
I started playing a few games last week after a 2 month break, so keep in mind this is the only game I got reported against in the past two months minimum.
Does the chat log REALLY display behavior that is so toxic it deserves a permanent ban? I feel like this kinda trash talk/banter/toxicity is pretty damn omnipresent throughout the entire league community. Just look at any streamer and he'll sound almost exactly like this on a bad game.
To conclude, I've never intentionally fed/trolled/griefed players, especially in ranked. I like the game and the community is alright, but we all have had bad games and not everybody handles it in the most effective manner. It really amazes me that Riot will permanently ban the ACCOUNT for a CHAT-related offense when they can easily permanently MUTE the account instead. If a certain player tilts towards toxicity once in a while but otherwise respects the rules of the game, just take away their ability to use the public chat system? This solution has been so damn obvious for years, but that's just my two cents.
