The league of legends code of conduct/ report system is a fragile ego coddling failure

Your entire report/code of conduct system is a failure if not an utter joke of a system. You have the audacity to ban me based on language while presenting evidence consisting of a game where somebody not only admitted to intentional feeding but also containing much intended as well as uncalled for instigation and counter toxicity. You ignorantly use a system that pulls text from a match on a personal level singling out an individual involved in an argument. Not only is this biased ( I figure it is automated as well) but it is illogical beyond comprehension. Not only have I dedicated hundreds of hours and dollars in your game but I have also brought many friends to the playing field. Yet still you continue to ban such players due to a faulty "modern" idea that my individual rights to express my opinion end where somebody else's feelings begin. Not only is this absolutely illogical and unconstitutional at base, but it is also a cancerous way of thinking that should not be spread by your administration. You have taken the time to implement a mute button as well as chat filter. While you explain that these are last resorts, this explanation is both mundane and ignorant. Which is the simpler option; continuing to chat mute and ban a player, or let the community use the tools at their disposal (which you implemented under the logic that they would be used; a logic that is undermined when you render them useless). You are coddling a community of players that take advantage of your failed system to push a population with different morals and standards out of your game. I find this not only disgusting but completely unprofessional when considering the scale of your game. I would also like to point out that your community moderators are neither emotionally intelligent enough nor able an any way to speak for a community of people as they have tried to do in previous tickets I have submitted. If your staff is unable to take the perspective of more than one social group then I feel that they do not have the mental capacity to handle such matters as banning an account worth such money ( Nor do I think anybody in your company as a whole has any idea what should be done to promote healthy social growth within a community of such scale).

Which is correct? To coddle those who feel they deserve the right to harass and abuse people, or to coddle those who feel they deserve the right to relax free from harassment and abuse? I would argue it's entirely dependent on your personal opinion -- but, since the the punishment system's rules are based on what the community selects, it's actually not coddling at all. Instead, it's the community dictating rules for itself rather than Riot dictating what the community wants. If people all stopped reporting hate speech tomorrow, all hate speech would be allowed, because you are never punished for things that you are not reported for. The fact that you are currently in the minority is unfortunate for you, and I appreciate your perspective, but it doesn't mean the system needs to adapt to fit your personal (and equally subjective) viewpoint.

Further, a privately run organization is free to set their rules as they see fit. This is why if you abuse people at a Starbucks, or at a movie theater, the management can and will ask you to leave -- and they are not in violation of your individual rights when they do so, as you have a right to your speech and your opinions, but you do NOT have an inherent right to broadcast those on THEIR platform.

you are punished for your behavior not anybody else. you said some toxic stuff and riot looks at only what you say, what other people say will not matter. here you say its alright to be toxic to people because they were inting and were toxic to me. this mindset is not okay. next time (hopefully not) do the right thing.

tldr

If you said anything toxic and you got reported you deserved it regardless of what people did in game. The bot lane could have ran it down mid and fed but if you did anything toxic you are responsible for what you say and your actions. Next time just report and do not flame. if what you said regardless of the situation is bad you deserve the ban.

League of Legends is not a nation and is not bound by whatever constitutions you think it is stepping on. Also there is no need to punish them with words for attacking you since the system is already in place to punish them more impactfully with in-game restrictions.

What you say or do is completely on you.

Guy insults your wife so you punch him out. You are still arrested for assault but the defense of provocation is only going to lessen the overall punishment. What you say or do is completely held against you and it doesn't matter what the context is in the majority of cases.

Also really important to note unless you used a big trigger word like kys, you had to be a dick A LOT to actually get banned. You are just an asshole blaming the system for something you did because you can't admit to saying, yeah, I was a piece of shit there and deserve that.

This system works perfectly fine because it holds the player to account of what they say or do. Regardless of the context because if you are toxic, you are apart of the problem, almost no matter what the case is. Now there could be good reasons why but because of a inting player? No. You play the game, mute him and then get people to report him. That is how you solve the problem. Not by sinking to his level and giving him 100% what he wants.

Not posting your chat logs is just you trying to bait for support.
