Despite having gotten a key fragment like a day or so ago for "keeping it sportsmanlike" I was just hit with a 14 day ban. I'm not here to argue whether I deserve a ban or not, but isn't 14 days for the first offensive a bit much? I mean most games give that as a third offense just before a perma.
You are right that 14-day is the last punishment before receiving a perma. So keep this in mind, anything you say or do that is punishable in any way will result in a permanent ban, even if it is something as light as sarcasm or passive aggressiveness.
With regards to whether it is fair or not, Riot tends to punish more harshly for things that they consider zero-tolerance.
Namely: Intentionally feeding, using slurs that are racist, sexist or homophobic, and using language that encourages other players to harm themselves.
It's severely harmful to other players to exhibit such behaviors, and Riot thinks you should already know better than to do them. It's common sense/decency to not act so terribly towards others, so they punish it more harshly right away.
If you were given a chat log with your punishment then you can post that and we can help you identify what might have triggered a 14-day ban instead of a chat restriction. If you weren't banned for chat offenses then it was something else like Account-sharing or rank-boosting, or 3rd-party programs.
chat logs?
Did you had a chat restriction before? If not, please post your chat logs first.

Those are two different systems. People honoring you postgame for a good game does not mean you are unable to do something that violates the agreement you made to use the service.

14 day bans are not usual but are available for violations. You could post your reform card if you would like to discuss it.
OP, if you post your chat logs, maybe we can he!p. At this point your not giving enough info
Please take special care as you are close to a perma ban. Not only that but now even the smallest infraction can net a perma.
Riot stated that if the griefing behavior was intentional than its a 2 week ban. (like intentionally feeding or intentionally trying to upset someone)
