Banned for "cussing"

I've recently been banned for 14 days, and got a message that the players of LoL agree to keep it sportsman-like (even though gaming isn't a sport lmao... use a different word pls), and am now unable to get free rewards. HAHA. isn't there a "mute" button implemented just for that? you people are so fucking unprofessional :,). This community is so sissy, they get butthurt over everything.

Anyways, just wanted to address your shitty approach to such things, now I'm gonna go cry, cause I won't be able to play your game for 14 days :( I just can't live without it.... JK hahahah bye

Whether you like it or not, you negatively impacted what people play first and foremost for fun. League of Legends is an E-Sport, and whether you consider that a real sport or not, it is still a game played competitively and you should act sportsman-like regardless. I'm not saying that you need to be mr sunshine and rainbows, but lashing out against others's isn't going to do you any favors. You'd be an asshole in real life for cussing others out, you'd be an asshole in game too. The inclusion of a mute feature doesn't make being toxic okay.

First of all... I wasn't even being toxic. I was being sarcastic and jokingly "cussed" really random words. I didn't get into a real heated arguement, cause I did it for fun when I was bored. If you don't like what I'm saying, mute me. It's simple. What's the point of having a mute button then?

And you or anybody saying gaming is a "sport", just insults people who actually enjoy actual sport and do competitive sports.

Simply cursing is not a problem, but if you are doing it excessively or are doing it in an abusive manner then it becomes one.

The Mute and Mature Language filter features are not there to allow you to say what you want, they are there to minimize further damage caused by your behavior; it's not the other player's fault for not using them, it's up to you to control your behavior. What you might find "fun" or just "competitive banter", the other players might find offensive or just plain annoying.

I recommend posting your chat logs so we can review them and see what kind of things resulted in the punishment, as that's the only way we can really discuss what the punishment was for.
