My Friend got permabanned for some reason, I just need an explanation

SpeedstarXVII·Sep 28, 2017·1 votes·372 views

So my friend got banned twice, once was 14 days, same happened to me, then, in the second game, where he wasn't really being toxic, he got a perma. I thought there were supposed to be escalating levels of ban. (ie: 1 day, 7 days, 14 days) I just don't get why it was so sudden. i can understand the summoner code, but I see toxic people everyday that don't get banned for small stuff, like a line or too. I can't tell if it's people who don't get "jokes" or people who just report people. I don't think riot is an unfair company, but the way they do stuff can be a bit confusing from time to time [sg-zephyr]

The punishment tiers are:

10 game Chat Restriction 25 game Chat Restriction 14 day Ban permanent Ban

Punishment tiers can be skipped for extreme toxicity, hate speech or urging self harm.

I don't know for sure but I think it can be one of the 2 chat restrictions and then right to 14-day ban. I don't believe you get both.

If you don't skip any tiers, you get both a 10 game and a 25 game chat restriction.

That's the thing with me, I did a 10 game chat restriction and went straight to 14 days.

That's not the default though. Typically people skip the second chat restriction when their punishments are in very quick succession or the second punishment occurs when the first chat restriction hasn't even been served yet. In other words: People skip chat restrictions when they seem to not react to them anyway.
