Chat Restriction

Hello,

This is mainly meant for a riot employee, but I have questions on my chat restriction for 25 games. I had escalating chat restrictions on my alt account which eventually lead to a ban, and this really brought me down to Earth. I realized that I had been playing in a toxic manner and I hoped to improve my behavior. I felt as though I had done so, and then I got a 10 game chat restriction. I realized my toxic behavior was starting to return, so I took away the chat box for about 20 games after the restriction ended. Earlier today I played a ranked match and got a very intoxicated team who did not attempt to help and tried to make my team lose the game. I stood up for myself when called names, in a peaceful manner, and then the other team decided to listen to my 0/8/0 teammate Graves and report me after the game. I was given my chat log when I received the restriction, and I honestly did not see anything toxic if you put the messages into context. I thought about this for a while and I honestly found this restriction unjust. I just wanted to know if someone could review the chat log and confirm the chat restriction?

Thanks

** A few things:**

Nine reports weigh as much as one. Your team listening to Graves wasn't a factor in getting punished since one player would've sufficed.
Once you get one punishment your account is placed on thinner ice, less and less violations are required to trigger another punishment.
If you had stood up for yourself peacefully, you wouldn't have gotten punished. You probably responded with more toxicity which isn't the correct thing to do. Saying things like "Can you guys please just focus on the game?" or "Guys, chill with the name calling." wouldn't have gotten you restricted. If you really want a completely fair assessment of your retaliation, post the chat logs from your reform card.

Beware, because your next punishment will be a 14 day ban, and after that the next will be a permanent ban. I would suggest taking a break from League or removing your chat box all together until you handle yourself better. If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't speak at all. Toxicity is not a valid response to toxicity, it just begins a vicious cycle.

Chat logs? That can help us tell you were you went wrong.

You know support is pretty nice they will generally point out what is wrong with what you did but what you probably did was use a word you don't think is that bad (i.e lol you're such an idiot) and that got flagged. Reports are based on individual actions, and if you feel your teammates really need to be looked at send in a more formal report into support. But chat restrictions are probably saving you rn with the amount of trolls constantly in game so take it as a blessing.

chat logs or didn't happen.

also: I honestly did not see anything toxic if you put the messages into context

LOL? So in other words, someone called you a @#$%#^@#, so you retaliated by calling him a @$%#%$^%&* also, which in your eyes is fair. really ?.... get over yourself...
