Perm Banned -- Without Warning -- For "threats"

I was permanately banned for telling someone I was going to kick their ass in a PM. No 14 day ban, no warning, just a "your account has been suspended" and the inability to log in with an email telling me I've just been robbed of a hundreds of dollars. This guy added me after a game, and was talking a lot of shit to me calling me garbage and what not, so I began to get angry, and I foolishly told this guy I'd kick his ass. Next day, I'm banned.

My biggest issue with riot is they don't actually care about stopping toxicity, they only care about stopping use of words like "%%%%%%" and "%%%%%%'. Granted, I don't like to be called these words, but I'd rather see someone inting or trolling banned more than someone who calls me these words. And the system is so messed up you can literally say "This guy called me insert homophobic or Racial slur here" and get banned just for saying it. These words carry an instant 14 day ban meanwhile trolling gives, what, a 5 game chat restriction? That was a tangent though, my main point was I was perm banned for having a moment of weakness without even a warning, and it's not like I used these slurs.

Why did you accept a friend request from someone who you KNOW has no interest in being your friend?

Imagine a world in which you genuinely believe playing a game badly is worse than being a homophobe or racist

Trolling when punished gets you a 14-day ban.

You know you have the option to either decline this persons friend request, or just block the user all-together right? But instead, you egg him on by replying. Seems to me that there's another side of this story that you're not delivering. You don't just get perma-banned for "lightly threatening" a player, hell, I can't even think of a time a player has been banned for "threatening a player" via PM because the system doesn't check those logs.

Coming from personal experience, when I was a toxic lad, I would add players i would get pissed off at and call them racial and homophobic slurs, tell them I was going to find out where they lived and slit their throats while they slept. I never got banned for it though, even on multiple occasions.

Permanently banned for committing assault? Wheres the issue? Why are you complaining?
