14 days? A bit harsh for no reasoning

So I'm in my promos to gold (was pretty happy about this since its my first time actually trying to climb and not just play 10'games here and there) and after coming off a 12 game win streak lose all 3 games in a row to.... Well let's say questionable plays(I say questionable plays but you can't really play when hard camped in a 2v1), I try to shake it off and move on to climb back into my promos only to get kicked out and pick up a 14 day ban.

I'm not going to say I was a model player because that would be a lie, but I was hardly worthy of picking up a 14 day ban. A player can only take so much abuse before it gets to be so much. For instance when you're trying your hardest but keep getting players hellbent on tilting their own team, like the Veigar support that refused to participate in the lane phase other than to flash q minions then run back under tower and flame me for missing cs vs 2 poke champs, or the skarner intentionally feeding lanes by running in and not attacking just running in circles, or the urgent that lost lane but chose to flame me for losing a 2v1 lane with heavy jungle pressure and an inting jungle.

I'm just curious how it's fair to ban a player victim of players trying their hardest to go out of their way to get a reaction out of you and when you finally say something (nothing even close to racist or hatful in any way other than telling someone to fk off or roport the trolls). I'm just at a loss because the "reform" card was just a blank window with an I understand button.

Sorry for the rant I'm just a bit mad that in the previous years I was considered honourable and without changing anything suddenly I'm picking up chat restrictions and now a 14 day ban while being the same player I was in the years before.

TV and real life teach you to stand up to bullies. If you do that in LOL, you are being 'retaliatory-toxic' and you get banned for it. Rito sure teaches kids quality lessons x) Its better to pretend to be Jesus and love everything and everyone right? -losing all your moeny and dying in the process. Am I taking rules in a game too far? I am not sure really, moral principles are principles no matter if its a PC game(with social aspect) or real life you should always follow them and being forced to be nice to toxic ppl is just simply wrong no matter if its in the tos or not IMHO....

Likely the "defense" contained enough to cause an infraction yourself. Attacking those attacking you isn't a defense - just more attacks and is reportable. As you noted the mute was the way to go, and I'm genuinely glad you identified that yourself. Unless you get that 14 day overturned, I'd make sure to just immediately mute and try to not to let them get to you - hate to see someone start to turn the corner get permabanned.

Best of luck, and do toss support a message so you can see the log.

Damn and that was only after a 3 loss streak. Imagine if your win streak, was actually a loss streak how tilted you would be.

If you really had no infractions whatsoever before this, then it's almost likely that you began dropping racial slurs and hate speech.

Even more the reason to believe so because you opted to not post the chat logs.

It's stupid. They should consider prolonging chat restrictions if your only offense is something you said in chat. They should reserve bans for people who intentionally feed/lose the game. Very stupid system.

Or if certain naughty words are the only thing that will net you a ban, perhaps they should globally censor keywords since they detect keywords just to ban you with the automated system in the first place...

The reform cards glitch out once in a blue moon. If you truly were given nothing, submit a support ticket about it.
