Why is previous good behavior not taken into account for minor offenses?

How is playing 100+ games without being the least bit toxic and getting honored in almost every single game not count when you do a minor offense? I got a 10 game chat ban for telling a 0/9/2 twitch that inted and went afk to stop feeding and lost all my honor. We ended up carrying him and winning the game but that doesn't matter either.

When talking to the Riot Support employee I just received an automated essay and then a reaffirmation that the punishment will not be reconsidered and that previous behavior does not factor into the punishment.

Although I think the chat ban was completely unjustified it makes no sense to me that previous behavior is not at all considered. Having a minor offense in 1 or 2 games out of 100+ games should not be punishable.

What do you think?

Previous conduct does matter. The system gives you some leeway for occasional slip-ups. If a minor thing got you a restriction, it probably means you slip up a bit too often, or this one was more severe than you thought.

Incorrect. Here is the direct quote!

"Lastly, penalties do not take into consideration previous actions. Please keep in mind that honour level, time played, currency bought or any other metrics of the sort have no influence on your account when it comes to punishment. Whenever you break the rules, you get punished adequately, no exceptions."

Do you have a source for this? I'm not doubting you, but I am curious, as to my knowledge even the current system required you to basically accrue points towards a punishment, with good behavior letting you work off those points before getting hit with a punishment.

So I guess I explained it backwards -- good behavior isn't taken INTO effect, but the way the system works (to my knowledge) gives you a chance to demonstrate that that behavior was an exception and restore your account standing before getting hit with a punishment if, say, you are only 25-50% of the way to a punishment.

This was sent to me directly by a riot support employee. "Lionofcintra".

dont believe what they say. especially since you are from euw like me. i got 3 different answers from 3 different support workers about a similar question.

i once even saw a job offer for that. there is no "should at least be familiar with LoL" in the requierements. i bet most sup workers never played LoL thats why everytime te copy pasta answer is not enough they "redirect you to a profesionnal"

It is taken into account. It's extremely rare that you're banned for a rare game of slightly poor behavior when you've had no punishments in a very long time. Once you've been punished recently you're on a much shorter leash.

Just had an 0/17 Gangplank. I bet you I will be chat banned and he won't get punished at all. Since feeding isn't "Toxic" apparently.

U report him for Feed just had a bad game or for bad attitude like toxic blame or something relate to that?

Feeding is not toxic, Toxic only is only applicable with bad words or blame someone all the freeking game. (language writing) offensive.
