The issue isn't going 40 in a 25, it's the law is intended to stop people speeding in cars, but the Cop is pulling over a Helicoptor.
Comparing my point to standardly breaking a law shows complete misunderstanding of the situation. The people screaming the N word in my chat are the ones going 40 in a 25 because that's obviously the rule breakers the law was intended to stop.
It would be less salty if there wasn't an even punishment for calling someone the N word and typing all caps 50 lines a game, verses someone that says one 4 line piece over a completely game related in-game topic one time in between hundreds of games, and gets banned for it. No Tolerance in the rules is an aspect put there by Racism and Homophobia offenders. My complaint is basically that 'speeding' holds a Death Penalty, because Murder another rule, also does.
Mostly tho, it's that Riot just cares less about my G1 promos, and more about the feelings of first time jg flamer vayne in ranked. If someone is clearly trying to lose games on purpose, giving their accounts report weight seems wrong.
All you say there is no exceptions either, when this is a technicality of what a 'rule' is, obviously you cannot break rules, that doesn't mean that rules are correct all the time though, and there have been contextually lifted bans in the past by Riot, so this community mentality that 'context doesnt matter' is honestly toxic itself. I'm an extremely reasonable player and never had an issue with Discord in League of Legends once ever, only ever chat where people will intentially flame, harass and try to bait you- they will purposefully try to lose, and ping your items and mia ping you, Why does this never happen in Discord? Why are people not so rude in Discord? I've played multiple games with Riot Employees themselves in Discord and they would probably consider my attitude exemplary. The issue is the chat, the community, and the rules themselves. I'm obviously not arguing to remove the rules, somehow that's what 5/6 commentators have read, these replies are almost like bots. More like just better tribunal system, that's it.
"You're still getting a ticket."
PS. Does a cop write you a ticket for speeding to the Hospital? No, they don't.
All rules have exceptions.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_that_proves_the_rule
That's a rule. 0 Tolerance is Riot being lazy for an easier solution, real life has exceptions.
I do admit the easier solution is reasonable, but you cannot deny it's a lazy handle to punishment. Live Riot Employees would probably disagree with my ban speaking about the AFK with even the smallest amount of context, but instead ban flags are handled by bots.
You are not a helicopter. You are not a special case. You merit no extra consideration over other players.
If you misbehave but a teammate or opponent does or says something even worse, you should definitely report them after the match, just as someone reported you for your own misbehavior. Yes, that's certainly possible. Reports are not a limited resource. Any time someone believes that another player violated LoL's behavioral standards, they can report that player. Punishments are similarly not limited: if more than one player in a game merits a punishment, they can both get a punishment. This can happen even if the players in question were antagonizing each other. The IFS doesn't need to weigh the severity of all reported players' actions and then "award" the "winner" with a punishment; it's not a contest.
Think of it like dealing with a noisy person in a library: ask them to keep it down, and then notify library staff and move to another area if that doesn't work. If you get into a shouting match with them, you're just as likely to be removed, even if you weren't shouting quite as loudly as they were. The goal is a quiet library.
Usually, one transgression by itself wouldn't be enough to bring such a punishment to an otherwise clean account, but the IFS works on an escalating punishment system. Breaking a minor rule, like engaging the team in useless arguments, has a minor punishment: a chat restriction. Breaking that same rule over and over again, however, doesn't prompt an endless series of chat restrictions. The severity of the punishment ramps up over time, because the goal is to eliminate the punished player's willingness to break the game's rules. If two chat restrictions don't stop the useless arguments, the system will increase the punishment to a 14-day suspension and deliver a very clear message that the continued rule-breaking is becoming a serious issue and any further instances will result in a permaban. Again, the point is to put a stop to this misbehavior. If a player is more interested in repeatedly breaking the rules than in maintaining access to their account, they'll lose access to their account.
Of course, it's possible to break major rules, like cheating, threatening people, or using chat for hate speech, and skip punishment tiers so that a clean account ends up with a 14-day suspension or even a permaban.
From Riot's support knowledgebase:
PUNISHMENTS GENERALLY FOLLOW A BASIC ESCALATION PATH:
- First Offense: 10 Game Chat Restriction
- Second Offense: 25 Game Chat Restriction
- Third Offense: Two Week Suspension
- Fourth Offense: Permanent Suspension
However, it is possible to skip to a Two Week or Permanent suspension based on the severity of the behavior in the game. Excessive negative behavior can result in a Two-Week or Permanent suspension at any time without having a chat restriction on the account.
Behaving well sometimes doesn't mean you behave well all the time. In this instance - and possibly others, since the IFS punishes based on severity and consistency, and the reform card doesn't necessarily display logs for every match where you were validly reported - you behaved poorly. Poor behavior is very impactful and thus carries a lot of weight with the IFS. The IFS does forgive the occasional bad day, but if that kind of behavior becomes habitual, you might be greeted with a reform card telling you to rein it in, or with a permaban message if the temporary punishments haven't worked.
You weren't doing the equivalent of speeding to a hospital. It's not uncommon for police officers to assist people trying to get to a hospital and waive their ticket, because getting to a hospital quickly can be very beneficial and important. What you were doing had no justification whatsoever, no benefit, and no redeeming value. You just flame people all the time. I actually find it pretty distasteful that you think insulting people on the Internet is equivalent to a medical emergency, that you just HAVE to do it.
Well, now you can't do it on this account.
