Making a child have an ethnic hairstyle and wear baggy clothes is not the same as making a racist joke that contains hate speech.

Lucian got banned from Hogwarts cause he practiced black magic:%%%%%omancy

When you're in a League game, you aren't with your buddies. Time and a place. Use this kind of language at work, and expect to lose your job.

I mean… you could have just left out the last word. It would have still been funny (if one shares this sense of humour) and it's unlikely that you would have gotten into trouble for it. In general, though, it's not a good idea to practice controversial jokes in public with people who may not share your sense of humour.

All that said, you can always try opening a support ticket and explain the situation. If you're super lucky they might reduce the punishment.

A simple message of "quit that crap" would have sufficed but yeah, Riot is a terrible company and I have no respect for them, honestly, nobody should.

So, you got banned for a joke containing hate speech, and your defense is that Lucian looks like a completely unrelated character from the show The Boondocks?

That is the weakest defense I've ever seen. And I've seen people try to say they were "referring to the Champion, not the player".

You should know that hate speech isn't allowed. And as for your "silly joke", allow me to quote Ornn;

Ornn: "Buy a joke book. And a clown."
