I just received a 14 day ban on this account for intentionally feeding, and would like to do everything I can to not get permabanned. I don't start off being toxic in game, I only get toxic in response to other players being toxic towards me. The reason I intentionally fed is because I decided to play Fiora, a champion I am very new to, in normal draft mode, and our jungler asked me to first pick Camille for her. I did so, and a few minutes later, the game started. I was against a Renekton, which I found to be a somewhat difficult matchup. I had given up 0 deaths even though I was ganked 3 times by the enemy Rengar, and about 20 cs behind Renekton. I had almost solo killed him once, but he flashed and got away. At about the 15 minute mark, I asked Camille for a gank, as Renekton had been overextended the entire game, and would soon have my turret destroyed. When I requested a gank, Camille quickly responded with "go fuck urself fio." That pissed me off quite a bit, and I flamed a bit. I then said I would afk if I didn't receive a gank in the next 2 minutes. I didn't get a gank, but the enemy Rengar ulted and he and Renekton killed me under my second turret, to which our 0/3 Ezreal (Camille was botlane the entire game, no idea how Ezreal was 0/3) said "trash fio." That's what kind of snapped me, and then I sold all my items, bought boots of mobility and 5 dark seals, and I intentionally ran into the entire enemy team. Later on I sold all of that and bought a sunfire cape and thornmail, and would just stand still in toplane until the enemy super minions would kill me. At the end of the game, I was obviously reported, and a few minutes later received a notice for a 14 day ban. I'm fine with that, I deserve that punishment. However, I don't want to get banned again, so I was wondering if there is a setting that completely disables chat, because whenever I mute my team, I get tempted to unmute so it's easier to communicate, but if I get flamed, I flame back, as I find it hard to just not respond. So yeah, is there a way to disable chat completely? I don't want to get permabanned on this account.

NOTE: I am not trying to justify my behavior. If anybody acts the same way I did, they deserve at least a 14 day ban. I am trying to stay reformed, and I think the best way for me to do that is to just not have to talk to anybody, especially when I just react to toxicity with more toxicity. If you ask my friends, or just most players I play with, I am not a very toxic player. I'm normally pretty easy going, especially when playing with a friend. But when I'm just playing alone, and some random player flames me, I can't help myself, and I flame back, or just throw the game. I don't want to ruin the game for the other players, but in the moment, I just get super pissed and don't care.

FINAL NOTE: Besides how to turn off chat completely, can someone link me to the page that gives the details on how the punishment system works? I heard that I can't get seasonal rewards now, or chests/keys, and that if I get reported again, I get permabanned, but if I don't get reported for 3 months, my status goes up a tier or something? Thanks.

I'll clear this part up for you;

I heard that I can't get seasonal rewards now

I assume you mean Ranked rewards. You only become ineligible for Ranked rewards if you A) Get banned within 3 months of the season's end, B) Have an active chat restriction when the season ends, or C) If you receive an MMR Boosting ban that season or later. The ineligibility does not extent beyond that, so for this you are still eligible for this season's rewards.

if I get reported again, I get permabanned

The punishment tier after a 14 day ban is a permaban, and just coming off a 14 day ban you'll be on a knife's edge so it won't take much to push you to another case review, but if your behavior has improved considerably and you are not showing negative behavior this won't happen and false reports won't hurt you.

if I don't get reported for 3 months, my status goes up a tier

3 months is the average time it takes for a player's status to improve so that the next punishment they get is lower. If you don't improve this will take longer or won't happen at all and you'll remain close to receiving a permaban.

Thanks for all the information. Do you have any idea how to completely turn off chat, not just /all chat, but like team chat as well? I dislike being a toxic player when I play, I play to have fun and would like to not have games ruined because of flamers, or have me ruin games because I'm flaming someone.

The best solution is to simply mute individual players as soon as they appear they may become a problem; this usually prevents a toxic situation from escalating. Some people have even less control and need to /mute all right at the start, so if you feel that is necessary don't hesitate to do it.

You can also use a keyboard application (such as those inherent to gaming keyboards) to rebind your Enter key so it's impossible or difficult for you to send messages. Any with profile settings should allow you to switch it on just while playing League. There are also third party applications out there so you can do it with any keyboard.

Another option would be to remove the chat window from view, though I don't like the idea because there is other non-player chat related information of use there. You can move the window off your screen each match, or you can even edit the config file to shrink it down to invisibility; if you choose the manually edit the size, if you move the slider through the in-game settings it will reset, if you felt like undoing it and typing.

I'll start muting my teams I guess, I was just hoping to not have to resort to that, because a lot of the people I have added on my friends list were just random people that were funny, or optimistic, or just generally nice people that I added after playing a game with them. But yeah, a lot of other people are the complete opposite of that, so I'll just try to /mute all every game.

I seriously suggest muting all players in all games. You can communicate anything that needs to be comminicated through pings.

Same thing as what I replied to Deep Terror Nami, I'll try doing that, but the other thing about doing that is it makes LoL a much lonelier game experience. I don't necessarily mind that for ranked, because that feels like something for me and just me anyway, but if I queue up for a normal draft or normal blind game I generally seek to have fun or practice a champion I don't play, and don't mind interacting with a non-toxic team. I guess I'll just use the mute button, but I'm just concerned I'll be reported by someone for something stupid like trolling if they say in chat "come to drag" and I don't follow up, or anything similar to that.

You won't get reported for muting. As long as you don't intentional feed
