Chat banned for joking with a friend

I am sick and tired of the league community at the moment. I just got chat restricted 10 games... For talking crap to my duo queue buddy who laughed it off. He didn't even report me, other people did. When did people turn this game into a giant wimp fest? Why would it be anyone's business but our own if we flame each other jokingly? Sorry, but I fail to see how I'm a menace to society as I type "git rekt noob" to the guy sitting 5 feet away from me, while the trolls and flamers and legitimately game ruining people continue to run rampant. Fix your system Riot. Your turning your community into a toxic cesspool where you can't go a single game without everyone reporting one another.

It wasn't your duo buddy that you were trash talking. The system is working as intended. The people you were constantly harassing, who weren't laughing it off, reported you.

Get skype, then you can talk to your friend all you want! It's amazing.

If he's five feet from you, why do you need to spam in game chat? But it's the community's fault you spammed and got reported?

"Fix your system Riot"?

I'm pretty sure fixing your own behavior comes first.

Welcome to riots policy on ban first, ask questions later. I almost got banned for doing something similar with a friend of mine who was playing bad. She knew I was joking and the entire team did as well tho. :s It got to the point where the entire team was joking back and forth with each other, which improved our play style due to us not focusing on our mistakes but focusing on the joys of the game.

You made it their business when you said it in front of them.

For example, if you and your buddy are in a restaurant, and are yelling at/insulting each other, what you are doing is absolutely the business of the other diners - for exactly as long and to exactly the extent to which it is disruptive of their experience. Similarly, what you say into team or all chat is absolutely the business of the other people in your team or game (respectively) - for exactly as long as you're sharing the game.

If you want to insult your buddy, feel free to say it out loud. Or use a voice program. Or even use a private message to him through the client (they aren't checked by the system, because they aren't part of the game chat). To put that another way, if you want them to stay out of your business, it would be in your best interest to not shove your business in their face.

Use a chat program to insult your buddy until the cows come home and you won't have this problem.

Until then, you'll continue to get fucked.

i mean i agree that jokingly flaming your friends is fine (we do it all the time too, no hurt feelings, nobody takes it seriously) but i'm sure you can understand why you were reported. unless you make it clear that you're friends joking around you just look like an asshole

You need to make it known your in a duo and are having fun, otherwise it looks like bullying or flaming or something.

So a few points to address: firstly, I get it. I made a mistake with the "fail to miss the point". Egg on my face. It was early in the morning, ok? Secondly, as for the rioter response; BS. I don't randomly call people Salvadorian pricks. I looked at my reform card. One game was trash talk back and forth between me and the enemy team; if saying "mad cuz bad" sarcastically and telling twitch to stop crying in all is really soooooooo terrible, your priorities are out of sorts. I frequently use my friends name- which, of the three games on my reform card, only one was with him in the room, and it was the one I talked to him the least in. As for skype, he refuses to buy a mic- and call him a Salvadorian prick (ooooooh how sinister), and this shows that we know each other. He doesn't give a damn, so why should anyone else? And one game I was ABSOLUTELY toxic in; i deserve to be punished for that one, as I will begrudgingly admit that I agreed to the Summoner's Code or whatever. However, one game of me demanding someone stop being a twat and afking in base is actually my exact point in this. I'm being punished for doing something that is currently happening in this very thread; trash talk. Its harmless. Im not butthurt because people pointed out flaws in my english, or put smite icons in response to a rioter calling me out. But where is the system here? What if I were one of the people who reported me? This forum is toxic in response to me questioning my own toxicity. People literally frequent this forum just to call people out. The system is twisted, and backwards, and is a good representation that Riot is creating a breed of pussies who will instantly jump to the report button in game and then turn into self-righteous jackasses the second they are elsewhere. "constantly harassing" as people fire back in the forums. GG Riot
