Unrightfully Banned

I recently got banned on my account (onoble1) due to toxic behavior.

In the match that I had gotten banned, I had not done anything wrong, yet my teammate gets angry for no reason and then continues to blame me. I tell him to "stfu" because he was being whiny. He continues to talk in all chat and try to incite the enemy team against me, which he had done successfully. Also, my team's Gragas had also begun to verbally abuse me as well as the enemy Vayne. Later on in the game, I probably have said more toxic things, adding fuel to the fire (that, I can say with utmost confidence, would never had died in the end). However, comparatively, the things that all 3 players had spoken to me were much more abusive and frequent. In the end, I get off with a permanent ban solely due to the sheer volume of reports against me, rather than the content of the chat. I understand that I have a history of behavioral disciplining, but that should not warrant a punishment of the level of a permanent ban to be put in place due to a lesser infringement.

I am expecting to hear that I "could have muted the players and then reported them in the end", or that you (the tribunal/mods) believe that allowing me "to leave unpunished would have further negatively impacted the league of legends community".

I don't understand how these children blatantly were throwing racial slurs and curses at me, and ganging up on one person deserve anything short of a punishment than I. The problem doesn't lie with those who retaliate, it lies with those who continue to feed the flames of hatred for no reason. Stop punishing those who get pushed into a corner. Every animal undergoes a flight-or-flight situation, and the ability to choose the right decision should not be the deciding factor of dishing punishments; humans are animals, and we all make mistakes, whether we want to or not.
