The punishment system is unjust. Why do some get bans and others don't for the same thing ?

So a month or two ago I had this AD carry who decided to intentionally feed because he didn't like Veigar support. In my frustration I started to feed too to end the game quicker. I was slapped immediately with a 14 ban after the game ended. It didn't even take a a good second after the game ended.

Yesterday, I had a game where the enemy team had an AD carry who started to feed intentionally from something like 5 minutes into the game. He did the exact same I did, yet he received no punishment. I looked him up and see that he is still playing.

Was this system always so bullshit ? Can someone tell me how did he escape punishment and I did not. I would like to know so can get away with shit too.

Because the tribunal system has worked this way for quite a loooooong time now. If you do it consistently, expect to get caught and punished. So just because you saw someone do something IN ONE GAME, doesn't mean they will get punished for something.

It definitely sounds like there is wayyyyy more to the story here.

Well, I found the game in his match history. It was an 0/21/6 Ashe with ghost/smite, 26 cs in a 26 minute game, and their only meaningful purchase after starting item (a d-blade) was 5 more d-blades all at once. Looking at that person's match history, it looks like they're a jungle main, with top secondary. I should note that her team actually had two people other than the Ashe who were running smite, too.

So my guess is that one or more people were autofilled that game. And/or one of the early picks on the team locked in jungle and took it away from whoever had been assigned jungle. That's not to say feeding is justified by her. But it really does kinda lock down the motivation behind it. All together, I'd say definite case of intentional feeding.

As for her not getting immediately banned, where the OP was when they fed, that could be several things. There's a separate feature now that actually handles feeding detection. I don't know what kind of leniency that system has, really. So it's possible they weren't banned yet because of a degree of leniency in the system, or else it might simply have the game still queued up and hasn't gotten around to reviewing it yet.

The system is a little more complex then "we both cussed at each other in this one game and I got punished and they didn't."

You probably already had some "points" accrued and they didn't.

The punishments are always consistent with two things: severity and quantity. The punishments are directly related to these two, and aren't related to others' actions.
