being honest is now considered "toxic"

so, i had a few games where i've been reported for toxic, when i was just being honest. example a) support went Shaco . He then proceeds to have use semi invade and wait in the tri bush, after nothing came up, i went to blue and solo'd it w/o any leash, thus getting behind on jungle due to the time it took. the "support" then proceeds to feed bot lane and the adc was dieing left and right. our top was good, our mid was getting rickrolled by annie. i try to help mid, and he gose in dies in two shots then starts flaming...sooo when i say "the shaco is a troll, and got us behind, then you go in and get two shot by annie, and thats some how my fault...." that's toxic....so im now have chat limitations and my honor is demoted for me being honest.... is there a way to get an appeal on this? when you get trolled by someone and you get punished for you having a troll because you are honest....it's no longer, a thing of did this player do something bad, it's did this player speak honestly and no one like the honesty, thus getting reported is just about popularity instead of based on what actually happened in the game.

Without your chat logs it's going to be hard for us to assist you in figuring out what may have happened here.

First, to answer your question about appealing your punishment, yes, there is a way. File a ticket to Player Support. There's no guarantee you'll get your Chat Restriction removed, but it still stands as a possibility.

Second, there's a difference between honesty and flaming. Granted, it looks considerably light, but it's still flame.

the shaco is a troll, and got us behind, then you go in and get two shot by annie, and thats some how my fault....

You're calling Shaco a troll and blaming them for getting your team behind - that's harassment, not honesty. And, sure - it's possible that Shaco was trolling, but you pointing that out and calling him a troll isn't magically going to stop him from trolling or make him play infinitely better. It's just going to make the situation worse.

This is honestly the most that can be said from where we stand, as you didn't provide your chat logs for peer review, but even with a lack of information it seems fairly clear why you'd get Chat Restricted.
