So i was playing a ranked game when my bot lane was losing and was blaming me when the support player told me to "kys" so i wrote in chat to everyone to report him for saying it but it automatically banned me ? So i am just asking does the system ban you for literally saying it no matter the circumstances like you just pointing it out or what? Are we supposed to go with the he said "the" word or i dont understand how it works like the voldemort treatment? Game 1 xdarious: 3 man invade? xdarious: sounds good xdarious: lets go xdarious: 400 games illaoi xdarious: what the actual fuk xdarious: nope xdarious: no ult xdarious: no F xdarious: she bursted me xdarious: i dont understand this illaoi dmg xdarious: she E me once xdarious: and i am dead xdarious: see xdarious: 1 E xdarious: almost kills me xdarious: yes xdarious: u lost it too xdarious: i lost it cuz vayne is 8/0 from laning phase xdarious: indeed xdarious: genius xdarious: he said kys xdarious: gg xdarious: report thresh for saying kys And yes this is litterally the only chat log it showed and you can quite clearly see i was just pointing out what somebody else said

Repeating extreme toxicity (such as hate speech or encouragements to self harm) is generally treated the same as if you had said it yourself. There is absolutely no reason to repeat the toxicity, and if the other players had muted the thresh you acted as a voice for thresh to say the things they were saying - basically you became exactly the same problem he was to begin with.

Dude... if there's something you think can get you banned for writing it, why would you think you should write it?

I would submit a ticket about it.

For the future though, you don't need to repeat what your teammates say or ask for reports on them. 1 report = 9 reports because the report function works off of number of games reported, not raw number of reports.

Yeah, I learned the hard way that calling for reports in all chat is bannable. Don't even bother. Riot looks at it in this way - If you're calling for reports and telling people to report "X" you're being toxic. Do I agree with it? No. Do I think this is banworthy? No. But it's their game so gotta play by their rules. This coming from someone who was banned for the same thing.
