do reports get you banned no matter what you say? i very often stand up for myself, i play support 95% of games, and very often adcs cry and whine and int and throw. then when i roam, my team gets mad at me, and i tell them, what do u want me to do? i cant 1v2, i cant feed as well, what do you want me to do? i specifically do not cuss. i make sure that i do not cuss anyone out. sure i get angry as hell. yeah i type too much, and yeah what im saying isnt nice sometimes. but i do not cuss.

no matter what, i get reported bcz my lane lost and the adc says its my fault. so at that point im getting reported no matter what because the lane is lost and everyone blames me because i type and stand up for myself when kids talk trash and throw the game.

so what do i have to do to not be banned? it isnt right that i cant type whats on my mind and not be punished for it because the other people in my game decided they dont like me. most of the time what im saying isnt even that bad at all but i do type and since i typed + got reported im always going to be punished?!

wtf am i supposed to do? what kind of a game is this if i cant type at all, JUST IN CASE i get reported??

"no matter what, i get reported bcz my lane lost and the adc says its my fault. so at that point im getting reported no matter what" So why even type in the first place? Why defend yourself if you know it doesnt matter?

Instead of typing use pings to say what you want. Your adc doesnt use heal in a 2v2? Ping their heal Your adc makes a terrible play and dies? Ping their death timer or give them some mia pings Your adc doesnt use their ult in a fight? Ping their ultimate.

Now dont do this to every adc only to the ones who are flaming. Come end game drop a report for them and move on. Talking with them is pointless, muting them is the best option.

Being a jerk by saying things like “well what do you want me to do” is what’s getting you punished.

No, you are not free to speak your mind when you’re going to be snarky and rude about it.

I might be mistaken, but I don't think anything happens just because a player (or even multiple players) reports you. I report people for toxicity a lot, and I've only ever gotten one feedback report that said any action was taken. That actually helped because it showed me the level that it has to be in order for Riot to take any action. This is a win-win in my book: I can be pretty trigger happy with my reporting (and I totally am, don't be a jerk when playing games, lol), but I don't have to worry that perhaps I was just misreading an innocuous message because it really has to rise pretty high in order for them to punish anyone. The one I got feedback from was a guy using slurs in the chat, so I think as long as you're being pretty mellow, they can report you til their fingers fall off, it's not going to do much.

No, there is NOTHING that can happen to you so long as you do not communicate. NEVER use chat and simply dont communicate for the rest of the game.

No, dont worry, if you dont break any rules, reports will result in no action taken against you. Also, dont worry about cussing. Most of my chat is riddled with fucks and shits and god dammits. 5 years with no punishments, and I dont think I've ever gone an entire game without typing at some point. The rules are more about deterring negativity than language... to an extent. Of course any use of certain language (like slurs and such) regardless of intent, could be punished.

/mute all the second you spawn into a game. Stop typing in games. Ignore text and communicate with smart pings. Riot only cares about penalizing people who flame in chat. If you just play the game, as long as you dont afk or run it down, they won't ban you. They probably wouldn't ban you for running it down either. They only care about chat bans.
