Reasonable Reply To My Chat Restriction

DM For Rat Facts·11/24/2018, 9:20:08 PM·2 votes·1,419 views

I was recently placed in a ranked flex queue game with a triple queue twice in a row. In the first game I didn't do well, but went even and we ended up winning. The second game right out of the gate I was harassed by them and one of them wanted to take my role. Flash forward to the end of the game when they have 45 deaths combined, and I called them out for this. Not to say I'm an angel, I flamed them quite harshly, but I only ever replied to their flame. I never started it. However when it comes down to it, despite them being toxic and myself being toxic, I get punished because... they reported me, and I didn't report them. The reviews for these cases are ultimately one sided, a rioter will sit and scan through the chat logs looking for a reason to punish the one reported, never taking the time to take the full circumstances into consideration.

Also of note I haven't been punished in about three years and now I get a chat restriction with no warning. Do you only get one warning on each account... forever?

Reports are handled by an automated system, not a Riot employee who sits down and reads through the chat logs. If you didn't report them, then it's your fault that they didn't get punished.

Also of note I haven't been punished in about three years and now I get a chat restriction with no warning. Do you only get one warning on each account... forever?

There are no warnings anymore, but the IFS doesn't just punish over one game. It takes into account consistency and severity, and when you say;

...I flamed them quite harshly...

I can imagine that you flamed them enough to warrant a more swift punishment.

Also;

...but I only ever replied to their flame.

It does not matter who started it, everyone is held to the same rules, and flaming is against the rules. You don't get a free pass to break the rules just because someone else broke them first.

They don't give warnings anymore, because... I don't know why. There's not really a good reason for it, but they don't.
