Chat Ban Explanation
Hello all! Just a heads up this is my first post here so if there is anything wrong let me know!
Recently I got a chat ban, which is my first recorded offense since i started playing over 4 years ago. I take full responsibility for my chat ban but would really like some input as to why I got the ban, as League does not explicitly state why. It just gives you the chat log which I pasted below.
Game 1 In-Game Me: you are running tank runes on zyra? Me: what happened htere Me: died in a solo lane Me: wow Me: bs Me: play passive Me: how is top 5/0 Me: 4/0 Me: just farm top Me: please dont feed Me: COME ON Me: THAT IS BS Me: okay imma just farming Me: SCREW YOU Me: bot mia Me: thought others were Me: there Me: didn't expect adc from bot Me: just farm we got late game Me: gj Me: what are you guys doing up there in their jg Me: lol i said just farm Me: you dont need to be pushed up into their jg with no vision when they have more gold/kills Me: you arn't going to win a fight that way. Me: again Me: why are you up there Me: well stop pushing up so far Me: it isn't helpful Me: gj top Me: gj Me: gj Me: you talking about when we have 4 members there? Me: 3 bot Me: ugh Me: zyra bot Me: go bot Me: im reporting you for not helping team Me: you are clearly trolling Me: im just giving advice. not trolling Me: please report zyra for trolling/feeding Me: that was terrible Me: doesn't have anything to do with trolling/feeding Me: its intent Me: she feeding and just walking inot your jg alone.

Post-Game Me: please report them Me: I didn't do anything Me: execpt be a teamplayer Me: defended nexus for 10 mins straight Me: whille you walked past me
While I can explain the circumstances later, I assume the determining factor is based solely on the chat of the game and nothing else. Which in this case, I did call bs on a few things but that wasn't directed at any players in the game and even if you can't see the game that is clear. I did say "Screw you" once (after their team kept saying I was trolling and then i finally killed one of them, which again is irrelevant if just looking at text). I completely understand how this one comment is unsportsmanlike and there was no reason for me to say this. I also asked for the other team to report the trolling teammates on my team. From what has been listed in game I was under no impression that this was verbal abuse or harassment when I am not making false accusations.
With that being said, assuming asking for reports isn't bannable, all I said was "Screw you" once. Like I said I understand that isn't nice to say and unneeded but it isn't cussing someone out, it isn't calling someone names, it isn't homophobia, sexism, racism, nor ableism. Yes it was a single negative comment, but if all you have to do to get a chat ban is say one negative comment then I need to start reporting WAY more people than I have been. There have been multiple games where players cuss out each other or call people retarded,idiots,dumb,stupid, and every curse word under the sun. If this is the standard then I will start reporting someone when I hear 1 negative comment from them.
As for context for the game, my supp Zyra started feeding by walking into their jg to get the Skarner spire thing over and over after each death. It was unwarded and the enemy team was up in kills/gold/etc. Then jungle and mid went and stood in the bush next to the 2nd tower along bot lane on their side. So across the map just sitting in a bush for a solid 7 mins of game time, doing nothing. During this our base had lost 2 inhibs and I was defending the entire time. Zyra ended up walking the enemy team to the bush were jg and mid where. They all got killed. Respawned and walked right past me and all the minions in our base to go "help the team" to get the skarner spire and hide in random spots. You can also see in the chat were i caught on they were just trolling and they started calling me the one trolling when pretty much every comment I made was just play-calling and trying to play passive since we were losing. Also team was talking in All-Chat so the other team knew my team wasn't trying to win or finish the game properly.
Sorry for such a long post. Like I said I understand I shouldn't have said "Screw you" but i don't feel like 1 negative comment that wasn't a curse word, name calling, or any other offense be responsible for a ban and a permanent citation on my account. Please let me know if there are severe things I did wrong that I need to improve on because I truly want to fix the issue.
tl;dr Please tell me what else besides "Screw you" is chat ban worthy because I feel that one negative comment doesn't mean I should be banned from talking because we all get frustrated a bit sometimes. Thanks for any responses!
