Riot convicted me of thought crime.
I have been suspended for 14 days following the game I have linked above, as Thresh. I died an incredible amount of times that game. I was autofilled support, I do not play it. I played a level 2 all in terribly, my adc did not heal me which may have helped me escape death. Nonetheless, I object to being suspended for intentional feeding. I did not play this game with the intent to ruin the experience of the other players, nor with the intent to provide a substantial disadvantage to my team. I was punished because of reasons not made clear to me. I do not know where to appeal this decision, and if I am given the chance, I will try. I do not understand how Riot makes these decisions. It feels as though other players have carte blanch; a Kled in my earlier game called me a n****. I was flamed in other games, many different times. I have reported diligently, and properly, each instance of toxicity that I have encountered. I have not been told at all since I started playing again that my feedback has correctly resulted in the suspension of another player. Perhaps they have been punished, perhaps not.
Their being toxic is not why I ought to be able to flame and harass players; that is not my angle. I have no angle. I have flamed before and perhaps after that game's performance, the system decided it was time for me to go away. I still want to appeal this choice.
How do you think punishments regarding inting work? Did I simply die far too many times for it to be unintentional? Am I supposed to only die 3, 5, 7 times? What is the cap between "That's understandable" and "you are just running it down"? Should I be expected to play to the best of my ability, with ultimate focus, intensity and concentration, every single normal game? Does the game have the ability to truly understand my ideas and actions in game by reading cold, hard numbers? Can it really ascertain whether or not I'm trying? Because i was. Because I was still in the game, not afk in fountain, not taking mobis and sprinting in a straight line down a lane. I was following, trying to ward, I was playing the game.
