14-day suspension over a single game of which I was not abusive towards a player at all.

To provide full context: I used controversial words in a context that was NOT ABUSIVE AT ALL.

This was my entire in-game chat. Of which I was being called r%%%%%ed and autistic by a Swain all game. I remained calm and did not let my anger get the better of me. But the problem isn't from the in-game chat, Riot found a problem with my post game chat:

Post Game Lobby: Jacksin: abliesm falls under hate speech Jacksin: just because you didn't say something like ******(N word) or ****(F word) you aren't spreading hate through your speech Jacksin: sure thing bro Jacksin: and you're a hateful person Jacksin: I know which I'**d rather be Jacksin: Are you confused by the word? Jacksin: Very interesting Jacksin: Gamers rise up

The ticket that I submitted provided me with an automated response which had the bold characters I provided as highlighted in red. I do not understand this, but I can't assume that was the reason I was banned for 14-days? For calling someone a hateful person after they literally were being one for an entire game? That's not abuse...

As for my use of those controversial terms: It was absolutely contextually relevant and the manner I used those terms in had not, in the slighted, reflected any hate speech or abuse at all.

Even consider all of this, a Riot member recieved my ticket and told me that this ban was appropriately placed.

This was my first ever offence.

[zombie-brand-facepalm] You said 0 tolerance words. Of course you'll get insta 14 day banned

Wtf is up with people like you? It's so damn well known that 0 tolerance words give an instant 14 day ban, so why repeat those words? Sure you weren't saying those words towards anyone, but you still said them and the system detected them

i'll never understand the backwards logic that leads to one thinking

"hmm... this word is not ok to be used so i'll say it anyway because it's a different context"

in any case, i suggest responding to blitz bot and asking for a human to review your case. there should be a button at the end of the message facilitating this

that said, that "report swain for..." doesn't help your case and neither does the harrassment you've displayed both before and after that line

If the chat log is unmolested, jumping to a 14 day ban on a first offense was definitely not warranted...

As others pointed out you did repeat zero tolerance words, so the system picked that up even though you weren't saying them directly at the player.

You might try sending a ticket https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us and see if they will reverse it, as it is possible in some cases but not always.

The person who banned you and the person who didn't ban you need to have diciplinary actions taken against them.
