2 week suspension for chat

SmellyPeech··1 votes·315 views

On 10-3-17, I received a 2 week ban after a game for saying "kys" 2 times to my good friend who I was qued up with. I usually use Skype with him but at the time I couldn't, so I was typing, and joking around calling him bad and saying to kys and without warning or any form of a previous suspension (chat bans as the suspension faq says) I went from being honor level 5, to my honor level dropping and receiving a 2 week suspension. I see people leaving in games all the time and clearly losing the game for their teams, and they have to wait 5 minutes before each que for 5 ques equating to 25 minutes of waiting, so I dont see how saying something in chat to a friend 2 times gets me a 2 week ban. Im fine with a chat restriction for 10 to 25 games, but I never say anything such as racial slurs or anything like that, and im usually not toxic besides giving my team suggestions. I dont understand how leaving RANKED games is ok and people only get a small penalization, but talking to a friend in chat results in a 2 week ban. Never before have I been warned by riot in anyway, so my thought process is that a chat ban is much more adequate towards the situation as a 2 week ban (20160 hours) is much worse than the low priority que (25 minutes) when leaving and losing an entire team a game in my opinion is a much worse offense.

Riot has a 0 tolerance policy against racism Homophobie hatespeech and telling others to harm themself or end their Life. Someone reported you, otherwise the game wouldnt have been looked at so someone wasnt so happy about your Chat.

The worst thing i said was kys which was to the jhin who is one of my best friends. He knows we were joking with each other and I think my team reported me because they were mad about my losing the game on account of my internet disconnecting in the last team fight.

Your problem there was that you brought the comment into team chat, where three other people had to see you wishing self-harm on another player. There is a /whisper channel specifically for talking to a friend without anyone else being able to see it, and you can make that sort of "joke" tere if it's something you and your friend find amusing

Not only would Riot not even know if you guys are really friends (just because you are on someones friends list doesnt make you guys friends) But as stated earlier Riot has a zero tolerance on things like that and slurs. You should have known as its stated in the ToS/Summoners Code which you are suppose to read.

Not only that, but seeing how it was just you and a friend that leaves three other people who need to put up with that, and maybe they didnt like that type of comment, let alone it has nothing to do with the game/helping you win the game so what is the point? You wanna joke around do it on your own time with them and not when others are around. When you play this game you are suppose to be following the rules.

The last thing i want to state it that while its common for people to go through the tier punishment (10 chat Restriction, 25 Chat Restriction, 14 day Ban, Permaban) Because of Riot stance on that you can skip tiers as seen here.
