Ive recently got 2 warnings for "offensive" language.
Ive been playing the game for a fair bit now, and I see arguments get started, so I literally don't say a word in game unless it's critical (eg, someone is back dooring)
The games in question, I literally had not said a single word other than "gg" at the end, in chat, had under 10 pings. Why am I getting warnings for this stuff?
You get the warnings whenever you see an increase in the amount you're getting reported.
The warnings just notify you when you have a higher than average number of reports. If you didn't actually do or say anything to deserve the report don't worry about it, you'll never get punished. The warnings don't validate if you deserved the report, they just let you know that you were reported.
What others said. Someone probably thought you were trolling or something. ( I do sometimes report when I feel like someone is intentionally not communicating with the team. That possible?) But as long as you aren't being toxic, I wouldn't worry.
I know a Trist main in Utah that's Platinum... your IGN is false :P
It's how the system is programmed. Someone reports you, the system is supposed to flash a warning at you. If you didn't actually do anything, you won't be punished for it. Yes, the false reports are unsettling. But eventually, you learn to let it go. Heck, I have been reported so many times for "offensive language" in games where I've never typed in a single word that I've lost count. I've yet to get a single warning from Riot and I've even gone so far as to submit a support ticket asking if I am in danger during one day of heavy pop ups. I was assured I was fine.
The vindication is knowing that someone with a history of wasting Riot's time with false reports is eventually ignored. I imagine a Riot employee at his desk and seeing a familiar name having submitted another report ticket and saying "Oh, look. THAT person again. Dee-leet-ted." Whether it was real or not.
Crying "wolf" too many times has consequences.
Dont worry, you get the notification when people report you, even if the reports are totaly fraudulent. Dont worry, if you didnt say anything toxic, any Rioter who loooks at your logs after seeing many reports wont ban you.
