Mentions just 1 game ; an arurf game of all things : https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2974729735/89539998?tab=overview

Is this the new thing in LoL now ? If you misbehave in just one arurf game ; 4 days later you will get banned for 2 Weeks ? While stuff like these are rampant ? : https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/ToWITEHZ-i-just-came-across-this-on-google .

This is not fair , give me a warning if it's for one game , ban me for a few days , but ban me for half a month straight up for the first offense in this account ? .. for being very mentally upset on that particular day and dying a lot .... in one ARURF game ? I've had teammates who died like 40-50 times , teammates who were yelling and raging but just shrugged it off cause it's urf .... didn't report them or anything . It's just arurf , people come here to blow off steam of grind xp or to just have a little fun...

Of course I'm not saying that I am innocent . But this is too much .... This also puts a strike on my account afaik ...

There's no lesser punishment available for intentionally feeding. On top of that, you shouldn't need to be warned that you shouldn't intentionally feed.

Two things;

  1. "Dying a lot" is an understatement. You straight-up ran down mid, intentionally feeding roughly 18 deaths. And this is ignoring the possibility that the six other deaths not on midlane could be intentional as well.
  2. Yes, you can get punished for breaking the rules regardless of gamemode. It should not surprise you that the rules apply just as much in ARURF as they do in Normals and Ranked.

I've had teammates who died like 40-50 times , teammates who were yelling and raging but just shrugged it off cause it's urf .... didn't report them or anything .

So, you're trying to defend your misbehavior by saying that other people broke the rules, and that you didn't report them for it.

If you don't report them, then you have no right to complain about whether or not they didn't get punished for their misbehavior - so I see no reason why you would bring them up.

It's just arurf , people come here to blow off steam of grind xp or to just have a little fun...

"It's just x" doesn't fly. The rules apply to every matchmade gamemode. Co-op Vs. AI, Normals, Ranked, Flex queues, ARAM, RGMQ - the rules apply. If you want a match with no rules, set up a Custom lobby.

EDIT: Nix that advice regarding customs - as per Prandine's clarification, the preceding statement extends to Customs as well.

Further, sure, RGMQ's are meant for people to blow off steam (ARURF especially, due to the frantic nature of the gamemode), but that doesn't mean they're lawless int-a-thons where you can break all the rules you want. If your way of "having a little fun" is ruining the game for 4-9 other people, then your way of "having a little fun" isn't allowed.

But this is too much .... This also puts a strike on my account afaik ...

Yes, it puts a strike against your account. Any further gameplay misbehavior will result in a permanent ban. And no, a 14-day ban is not "too much". Many people would argue that it isn't enough.

The 14-day ban is Riot's first and last warning to you; Intentionally feeding will not fly.

I don't think you need a warning to know that intentionally feeding is something that Riot doesn't want you to do.

Should it take a warning that intentionally griefing/trolling a game is not appropriate or okay?

You won't get anywhere with support, they'll just read from their trusty handbook, so don't bother.

Riot regularly likes to ignore that good people can have episodes of bad behavior and it comes from the arrogance and ignorance in people creating the policy, who somehow think they're not human and don't make mistakes. Riot also likes to ignore that people improve their behavior at different rates. They also ignore that unjust, automated punishments can actually make people's behavior worse. At this point It's laughable how bad the system is, and based on the prevalence of group-think and "well, riot is doing their best" mentality on this board, it doesn't look like it's getting better anytime soon.

I really don't think dying 24 times in a 21 min game is normal. (Over a death/minute)

If I was having a really bad game, I'd be dead like 10-15 times?

Only if you were inting would you get that score.
