DON'T BE AN IDIOT (like me)

This is not a complaint or an attempt at an appeal, only an apology and a thank you. I have never afk'ed or intentionally thrown a game of league. In ranked, I mute all chat and sometimes other teammates so I don't get into the drama that league is well known for. I always try my best in ranked, and that dedication is what I contribute my rank, platinum 5, to. But I have a problem of using normal games to vent toxicity. In normals, I tend to talk a lot of trash and sometimes die more than is needed, to put it lightly. I have been fairly warned before on this issue, and thought nothing of it, so the ban has really grabbed my attention. Since I have played this game every day for multiple hours over the course of 3 years I feel the need to apologize to the community. Because being in the .2% of toxic players is not something to be proud of. And honestly, being temporarily banned is scary because a permanent ban would cause me to lose hundreds of $ on skins, and the accomplishments and memories I have on this account. Again, I apologize to all of you because I love this game so much. According to wasted-on-lol.com I have played 2160 hours of this game on this account alone, and I consider none of them wasted. I have been extremely invested in League of Legends since season 3, and I appreciate all that Riot Games has done. I can't express my gratitude enough but for now sayonara, I will be spending the next 2 weeks on my level 5 smurf, enjoying it all!
