Unfairly Banned, chat logs inside

Hello boards and Riot, I think I was unfairly banned. Here are the chat logs from the ARAM game that got me banned. The only toxic thing I said was "braniac." And I do not think that calling someone a braniac, even sarcastically, deserves a ban. As for KYS, I 100% meant it. I wanted my team to go suicide to their tower so that we could all be alive for the next fight in our ARAM. This is a valid tactic.

Game 1 SnakDatSmilesBak: all of u kys SnakDatSmilesBak: go ham SnakDatSmilesBak: kys all of u SnakDatSmilesBak: deal with it SnakDatSmilesBak: if u guys died here SnakDatSmilesBak: u would be here to defend SnakDatSmilesBak: kys = kill youreself SnakDatSmilesBak: which u should be doing in this mode SnakDatSmilesBak: brainiac SnakDatSmilesBak: ggwp!

It's unedited, straight from the client. I want to add, I already know that "KYS" is a zero tolerance phrase. Riot, consider this civil disobedience. [slayer-jinx-catface]

You were knowingly using kys. You knew what the result would be. Your teammates also asked you to stop saying it, and you didn't. It was a game to you.

Seems like a fair ban to me.

I have seen people get second chances when they are unaware that "kys" is taken so seriously. Those second chances come with a stern warning not to do it again.

Considering you admit to knowing that "kys" is not to be used in League, I do not see it likely that this is overturned. You could have chosen other words that would not have such a negative connotation and/or look like you are telling people to kill themselves in real life - such as "die at turret to back pls" or "pls die so u can buy".

"civil disobedience" do you even know what that means

If you make an intentional effort to trigger a ban, don't be surprised if Riot won't lift it (assuming this isn't falsified).

People seriously need to stop testing the Zero-Tolerance policy. No one is invulnerable to the system. Riot even said, don't ever say those words. No matter the situation and no matter the intent. Of course, it's going to trigger the ban. I don't know how people don't expect the ban. It's honestly not an unfair ban if you knew that saying "kys" is bannable. Because simply, regardless of your intent, it's not allowed. **But you already knew that and decided to do it anyway.**So what did you expect honestly? A free pass?
