Is this normal? I got 14 day banned with no previous offences. No warnings , nothing. Told some dude to "kys" after he told me the exact same thing...didn't think anything of it. Didn't even report the guy. Why is riot so sensitive? Also I still haven't gotten an email with the chat logs.
CrimsonDawn774 votesBecause saying something like that has no place in this game, not to mention the fact that someone might actually do it.
Even if the person did deserve to be told it, it still creates a negative atmosphere for the other players. You might not care about stuff like that but some people do find it offensive and off putting. People have the right to play this game without personally being subjected to stuff like that or feeling they are in an abusive or toxic environment.
I have people say toxic stuff to me frequently, I don't say toxic stuff back, I just say "muted and reported". That always works.
KAYN IRL3 votesFor sure. Is there any way I can permanently mute myself?
CrimsonDawn772 votesI don't think there's any official way to do so, but you can always just mute all and close the chat box at the start of every game.
I would recommend muting people the second that their toxicity starts so it doesn't grate on your nerves and make saying something toxic back so tempting. You can also try finding a friend who you can vent to over pm. I personally have several friends whom I vent to and vent to me via pm for cases when someone is so intolerable it has to be said somewhere. It works for me as I get to vent instead of holding it in and tilting, I'm not toxic in chat, and my friends get a laugh over my tilt. Its a win, win, win.
Ozuraak1 votesYeah. Don´t use the chat at all. It´s that simple.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 voteswhy do you need a warning not to be toxic?
you warning is the TOS you agree to when you started your account and after every patch that you re-agree to by clicking accept on that notice that pops up after the update before you signed in
Clementine2 votesExtremely negative behaviour or hate speech can result in skipping chat restrictions and going straight into bans.
KAYN IRL1 voteshate speech...?
CrimsonDawn771 votesLike racist rants, and yeah some people actually do it. I think riot also includes slurs on particular groups or types of people in that category, but I'm not totally sure if its always the case.
Jo0o2 votes"Kys" is treated quite harshly. You never know who you're talking to online, and some people in compromised mental states turning to video games for comfort can be pushed to the edge by provocation like that.
That said, I don't think I've ever seen a singular "kys" result in an immediate 14-day. Any chance you got full chat logs for us to see?
KAYN IRL1 votesYea I get that its toxic and what not. I just don't understand why I went straight to a 14 day ban with no warning at all. I don't have the chat logs they haven't emailed me them yet.
ModThe Djinn2 votesYea I get that its toxic and what not. I just don't understand why I went straight to a 14 day ban with no warning at all. I don't have the chat logs they haven't emailed me them yet.
Riot actually usually DOES jump immediately to a 14-day ban for encouragements to self-harm, so what Jo0o says isn't entirely accurate. I believe they've started cracking down on it a little harder in the past year or so.
Chermorg2 votesYou actually, legitimately told someone to end their own life. Regardless of whether you meant it or not.
You. Told. Someone. To. End. Their. Life.
And you are expressing that you think it's no big deal? What if that person was already suicidal due to real life issues/drama and your comments pushed them over the line and they attempted it?
Please be careful with how you're talking here as you risk an escalation to a permaban if a Rioter shows up and deems it appropriate due to your perceived lack of understanding of the gravity of telling someone to kill themselves.
