Should I get chat banned for this?

League of Legends Match History

Hey there everyone! Today I played a 3v3 game with a friend of mine in which our third player was a known bot that was leveling an account automatically. The enemy team even stated that they had played a game before with that same account and they they were in fact a bot. At first I was unsure if this was true but as the game progressed, within the first 4 minutes our top lane Kogmaw fed 3 kills to pantheon without using any summoner spell and just running into melee range of him and standing there. They proceeded to invade my jungle over and over as a 3 man unit while the bot Kogmaw stayed top and stood at the minions. Every time Kogmaw would die he would use his passive and run back to our base like it was scripted.

My friend and I decided that instead of just running into them all game and delaying the inevitable We asked them if they could just push out a lane and win the game asap so we can queue for another game that isn't ruined with a bot.

They flamed me for wanting to afk and not play out a game where there was no coming back from a 7 kill pantheon and 8 kill Jax 12 minutes into the game. I have not had any behavior penalties that I can think of in the past. (been on since season 3).

I guess my question here is "Is getting reported for afking with my friend while the bot runs it down the lane over and over justified?" If both of the human players don't have the will to continue a game because of the circumstances, should they get reported when all they want, is to enjoy another game where it can be a good experience for both parties and not waste everyone's time.

The enemy team then said that they wont report the bot but would rather report us for not playing the game. Isn't that exactly what the Bot is doing to level the account? That is using third party programs. If that is justified I don't really think this community is going in a good direction when the players that wanted to play an actual game of League are getting penalized. My in game name is "cinnabits" Im not sure why its my old one on the boards.

let me hear what you think of this and let me know If this is justified! Thanks a ton!

"open mid" is a korean strat from season 5 I think, and you are 100% justified in doing that. Not only that, but it was a unanimous decision for your team, so you cant even say that the team was hurt by your decision to abandon the game. You do you, I feel you made the right decision and I hope riot feels the same.

I appreciate you saying that, thanks! I just hope that this doesn't become an on going trend. The chat ban was instant too which makes me believe that the game wasn't even looked at but just sent through by a machine. Which is a huge problem in its own right.

Yes it is a Korean strat, but some people get punished for it in NA because idiots have the "never give up" mentality. Its really not worth the time

First, afk/leaving is not punished by chat restrictions.

Second, post your chat logs if you want feedback.

I’ve read that chat restrictions are an automated system. I got it instantly after that game too which I don’t understand why. Also I’m not sure how to get my chat logs from that game could you let me know how? Thank you!

All behaviour punishment are handled by automated system, even permanent bans. Afking is punished by leaverbuster or, if they detect it as assisting enemy team, with 14 days ban. If you were chat restricted it wasn't for being afk or open mid, it was for toxic chat and you should see a chat log when you enter game client. At the end there is a copy button so you can show the log to us.

Also it doesn't need to be for this game, you might be punished for another game and it just popped after this one.

Hope my limited english skills were enough for you to understand. :-D

Chat restrictions are handed out by the instant feedback system which is a machine learning system. You got that after that game because you had a pattern of punishable chat behavior. 10 game chat restrictions and 25 game chat restrictions are the two lowest tiers for punishment. If it's a 10 game chat restriction, then Riot is telling you that you're starting to go down a bad path and you need to stop. If you got a 25 game chat restriction, they're telling you that you either didn't listen to a previous 10 game chat restriction, or you've gone moderately far down a bad path and you need to stop before you get to the 14 day temp ban level.

In your in client chat restriction notification pop up, you were given the chat logs of the games which demonstrated chat which Riot has deemed to have been punishable to some degree. If you clicked through and didn't read through your logs, you should have gotten an email containing the same information through the registered email account linked to your league account.

If you accidentally deleted that email, you can open a support ticket and ask them for a copy of the chat logs for your chat restriction.

Wrong or right aside --

If this is your main account (meaning it's level 70) I highly recommend you stop playing both 3 vs 3 and 5 vs AI games and stick to summoner's rift and ARAM. Unfortunately both of those game modes are absolutely plagued by level bots and it seems like no matter how many they manage to ban, more show up.

3 v 3 TT games qualify for end of season rewards at least.

I haven't played vs AI since its initial release and even though 3v3 is plagued at the moment with these bots, getting reported and having a strike on my account for it shouldn't be a thing.

No you should not get banned, but what you should do is not play 3v3 LOL there is a lot of this happening apparently
