Banning vs Restricting

I'm a toxic player. That I can admit. But that shouldn't have any restriction on my ability to play this game. I've sunk hundreds upon hundreds of my hard earned dollars into your game. But as soon as I express my feelings towards the Xin Zhao and Rammus bot lane because they're running it down mid-lane, they report me and I get banned? That seems ridiculous. Yes there may be many cases against me but I'm not intentionally feeding. That's why, when someone is being toxic inside the chat, their ability to speak inside in-game chat should be permanently revoked, not the player being permanently banned.

They already tried a punishment system that had what was basically a permanent chat restriction, but almost everybody affected turned to gameplay trolling so they changed it to the current system to avoid that.

No. League is a 5v5 game. If you prove that you cant handle working as a team repetitively. then there really isnt a place for you here. Your solution of "permanatly muting" a player is not fair to the other people around you. They now have a teammate who cannot communicate with the team. This puts the entire team at a disadvantage. Other peope shouldnt be punished because you dont have any self control. This is why the chat restriction was changed a long time ago to allow players to have some access to chat to communicate.

Because we want a toxic-free game for once and if Riot wants to take that step to cleanse toxic players from people who enjoy and doesn't feels the need to express hatred, then why not support them? It's not that complex to avoid being toxic. So why not be toxic? Your anonymous protection doesn't give you the right to try and stress people out as you try to ruin their gaming experience. If you don't do bad things in real life then why do bad things to other actual living beings in digital life? Why feel the need to ruin someone day? Because you're not happy? Then you're not happy, don't ruin it for other people's day. Find a new game that does let people live the toxic life. But not here. As long I play this game I will support Riot against any toxic activity.

If you would like to actually discuss your ban then please post your entire unedited chat logs here in this thread. We get allot of people who claim they were punished for X but were really punished for Y instead, so forgive us if we seem skeptical of your claim.

Like Zezockary said perma-mutes aren't the be-all end-all solution as Riot tried that before and found that the vast majority of affected people just switched to other more difficult to detect forms of griefing instead, hence why the current system is in place. Also, other peoples poor behavior doesn't give your own a free pass. Next time you encounter players like this just mute/ignore, report and move on rather than give them the negative reaction that they're looking for.

You could have restricted yourself from misusing the chat, sir.

But then how will Riot earn more money from you making a new account and potentially sinking even more money into the game???
