I got a 10 game chat restriction for one match with no bad mouthing
Hey folks! I'm going to be 100% open and transparent on what happened and why I believe I don't deserve this punishment. First, have a link to the match in question and then the chat log for that match:

Some screenies to prove that this one game was the only chat log provided for the reasoning behind this punishment: https://imgur.com/JBvNfv4 https://imgur.com/ydtnDYl
The above match is simply the product of terrible matchmaking. The enemy team had two duos, and we had one Plat 5 with the rest Bronze/Silver. When I died for the second time, the enemy bot lane comprised of a Thresh and Nautilus was already fed, and our top laner had already given the enemy team some kills. To me, the imbalance was all too obvious, and I simply opened mid.
The chat log above is unedited, I did not say anything directed at anyone that was derogatory or inflammatory. Any remarks above were made in response to someone in /all chat and were in no way an insult or bad mouthing, and a dev could verify that by looking at the complete chat log for the match. All in all, I think I kept my cool pretty well considering the circumstances, especially since I had teammates flaming, griefing, and calling for x9 reports.
To be downright blunt, I think it is outright unfair that I be given a chat penalty after I succeeded in keeping my cool and refraining from flaming my team despite the feeding and the flaming I was receiving.
Is it cool to open mid and basically afk from the match? No, not when your team wants to try and win. I understand that. So what I propose is that I receive a LeaverBuster penalty instead of a chat restriction. To be completely honest, I have never received a negative infraction on my account aside from an afk penalty since my account creation, and I do not want the first one to be undeserved.
Again, to clarify and be perfectly clear, I know that me roaming the base to open mid while my team wanted to try as hard as they could to win was unsportsmanlike. HOWEVER, nothing I did in that match was deserving of a chat restriction and losing an honor level. I will gladly take a LeaverBuster penalty for the afk, and try harder to take a different approach when I have a team that falls way behind and throws the game from just a few minutes in.
Thank you for reading, and I hope I receive some understanding on this issue. I am copypasting this and sending it in a support ticket.
EDIT: So far in the comments below, everyone is affirming that I was negative by opening mid and giving up. I've already admitted to this above, and I still would say that my actions for going afk are deserving of a LeaverBuster penalty and not a chat restriction.
Throughout this match, I was bullied, flamed, made a scapegoat, had report calls made for me (I was Fizz that match, and pointed out that one of my teammates said to x9 Fizz when they said they weren't being toxic), told to shut the fuck up because I was giving someone ear cancer (which was why I muted them), and I didn't fall into any of that by firing back in chat. I said nothing demeaning to anyone on either team that match, and I continue to assert that I do NOT deserve a chat restriction and loss of honor and loot rewards because of what happened that match. I will happily take a LeaverBuster for going afk by sitting in the base.
