Okay, so! I admit, I was pretty toxic and said some pretty horrible things to another summoner. But, he was being pretty nasty too (just had to get that out of the way). So after that game, Riot permanently banned me, even though that was the first time (to my knowledge) that I had even been in trouble for toxicity at all. I know it's in the terms for League, but aren't they supposed to give you three chances or something? And it's not like I rage a lot like that, it was a very very rare occurrence. Not to mention I wasn't in the right state of mind, having been terribly sick and under medication the past few days. I just want to know if this happens a lot or if they maybe make a mistake (like as in giving me a strike and not a permaban)? I feel pretty terrible for what I said, but I've seen people say worse and not get banned either so I'm a little confused.

Normally, yes, there are lesser punishment that you can go through before reaching a permanent ban. However, it is definitely possible to be escalated straight to a 14 day or even a permanent ban if your behavior is severe enough. This is typically reserved for stuff like hate speech or death threats/encouraging self harm.

If you want to, you can post your chat logs here and I or someone else could help point out what caused you to be escalated straight to a permanent ban. If you want to talk directly to Riot, though, then your best bet would be to submit a ticket to Player Support. If you truly have a clean history and haven't had any punishments prior to this, I believe it's possible they might reduce your punishment to a 14 day ban, depending on how bad your chat logs are.

Punishments can be escalated depending on the severity of the poor behavior.

Do you have the chat logs that were sent to you? There are a few words/phrases that can result in pretty steep punishment escalation, and, if used in the wrong way, sometimes can result in an outright ban.
