Bans and the Report System
So I just got permanently banned and spent over an hour in livechat with a Riot employee. For some context, I was playing jungle with a premade bot lane. I ganked, Sivir died, I pushed the wave in and left. From lvl 5 on, she proceeded to fight me for every camp or just sit afk at tower. After the game, I was permabanned for "verbal abuse", I'll post my chat log below. The official Riot stance is: Mute and play. Now how, may I ask, does muting help me, if they aren't saying anything, but simply fighting me for every bit of gold and xp? Furthermore, how am I supposed to play my role as jungler if I'm too far behind to gank or fight at all? They said "Yes, it's a bad situation but you need to deal with it and play to win instead of asking your team for backup"

If you notice, there are zero threats, extremely little cussing, and overall, not even talking to the troll in question. I am unable to fight or farm, and if I afk, I get punished for that. Just remember guys: someone running down mid? Mute them! Problem solved
