Riot Double Standards - Horrible Outlook!

The Double D·Nov 4, 2016·2 votes·1,120 views

With the release of "Breaking Point" - Team Liquid (or whatever this jumbled mess of a toxic temper tantrum in a movie is actually called) really showed Riot is actually retarded.

Let's break this down for all you Riot fan boys! (I was once one as well!) Riot actually allowed this video to see the light of day. This doesn't show a team over coming challenges. This shows a Coach with no actual coaching skills being very harsh and playing favorites. It shows a very toxic environment at the highest performing level in professional e-sports! AND RIOT IS ALLOWING THIS!

A star player is being not only hated on now even more - but now kids are actually thinking that it's OK to speak and act like that. Yelling, cursing, and rolling his eyes at a CEO? ON FILM! Still playing in the league where Riot bans the every day player for comments very similar to what was shown in the video. The way he speaks openly about his team, coach, and others he interacts with on a daily basis. Calling his best friend shit over and over again. I'm pretty sure this is what Riot has set out to put a stop to. UNLESS YOU ARE PROFESSIONAL! Then they make exceptions for exceptional players. NEWS FLASH - THESE COMMENTS GET YOU BANNED IF TYPED IN CHAT! BUT SINCE YOU SAID THEM OUT LOUD ON SUCH A PUBLIC FORUM RATHER THAN IN A GAME OF 9 OTHER PLAYERS WE GON' LET THIS ONE SLIDE, MY DUDES! I mean it is actually the same bullshit so many people are banned for.

But wait! TSM - professional players and earned a lot of respect gets in trouble for ads posted to youtube. LMFAO. Riot honestly blew it in e-sports. They had a great thing going and went way to far with their stupid tribunal system and let to much shit like this slide for it to actually mean anything to anyone who played this game in hopes of actually improving. They allowed so many toxic players in the spotlight that they out shined some of the greats who played the game quietly. Passive aggressive punks are my favorite riot fan boys. I followed multiple accounts of trolls, feeders, and ragers for months to see if they would receive a ban hammer. NOPE - They don't say anything in chat typically. They just say nice things while feeding purposely. Similar to Dardoch in game. Laughing "I'm on swain". What a great team environment. In your everyday game the Dardoch player would report his team for harassment and his team would get banned for calling him an asshole. Yeah riot... really hit the nail on the head there you jackasses. And don't tell me these players get banned. I submitted multiple accounts through my time playing with not just a week - two weeks, BUT MONTHS of players with this type of attitude that were never banned. I'm talking consistent games in solo ranked of going 0-20-0 but still queuing for ranked and playing games everyday. You honestly suck - you only want to help the best players overcome attitude problems. While shooting everyone else down.

ADDER: You can't see the best scenarios in game play because the best players in the world are split between LCS and challenger series. Teams sell their spots and now Riot wants to "fix" that. The best players generally have horrible attitudes towards other players in the scene and Riot allows this. They literally blew everything they pushed for. Just because they are the first break out in e-sports that grew way faster than CS. Doesn't mean it will be the best. In fact quite the opposite. Jump ship now my friends!

They demanded attitudes from the normal every day player of professionalism but in the actual professional scene they publicly display this garbage.

I'm done with everything Riot related after the release and allowing of this behavior. It's not something I want to be apart of. Shady ass company 100%!

Post was thrown together quickly because I only give enough shits in posting this so that the one riot employee who deletes it has to feel like a tool for erasing the truth. And to actually get down votes from the fanboys who will eventually move on from this game. They just don't know it yet!

Tell me how Riot was suppose to stop independent project approved by the team? Like, if TL wanted to show that its their fn call. Riot has no control over what team can do - it doesn't harm Riot, so what they are suppose to do? TL had problems and they tried to solve it, didn't work so some players left. It's internal thing for TL, so I don't get how you can blame Riot for it...Just don't see your point here.

Do you mean that Riot should spank players and tell them they are bad and they have to improve...or...what? They will ban 80% of pro players for...what? Being good? They aren't toxic, they clash - as in any other team. Do you think Golden State Warriors, Real Madrid or any other team in any other sport doesn't have problems like that? Everytime you gather a few stars on team, there will be issues over who is Alpha. What you want Riot to do with it?

TSM got in trouble for doing videos for their sponsors. Can you even piece together the absolute shit fest being allowed by Riot?

Riot - "No TSM you can't earn money for your players by doing funny ad's on your youtube on your own time!"

Riot - "Sure TL - make a toxic video displaying the internal eruption of your team for everyone to see using our game and gameplay footage!"

OPEN YOUR EYES MAN! Quit being so fucking blind, my man!

Hey, Riot is obviously promoting drama. As long as in the end they only benefit from the gains!

It is a big deal. Youtube is a big deal. Riot is a big company. TL is one of the greatest teams to have competed in LCS.

When Ray Rice knocked his girl out on the elevator - it was a big fucking deal! Professional sports are a big deal. This type of double standard in a company at this size and on such a public forum like youtube. It's a big fucking deal.

Honestly you are right. But they need to actually hold themselves to the same standards from day to day. Apologies are key. Second - Third - Fourth chances are needed.
But When they have such a strong stance on toxic environments - then allow this. You have to see that it's a big deal. They spent how many years trying to get rid of this type of attitude then are allowing companies to gain monetary value from it.
Something you and I would get banned for - these companies and players just made money on while being able to continue to play and make money!

BE PROFESSIONAL!

We'll be hearing something from them soon about how they messed up or something and It will probably go back to normal like the time they disabled ranked, or the time league got hacked. No one cares about that anymore so just give em time.

Im not blind. I just see the difference between Riot not wanting teams associated with them to promote something that Riot doesn't agree with (which is kinda fn normal thing for company to decide what they want to be associated with) and Team making a documentary about them.

Again, tell me what Riot should do in your opinion about TL now.

Fair response and question. Riot's outlook how we both see it. Riot does not want teams generating money from add's or views that conflict with those of Riot's. The add comment is true. Find the Tryndamere/Reginald debate.

Now - HTC and TL are both making monetary gains from this video. In this video it shows tons of direct violations of the very rules Riot has set in place for us to follow. Being nice and respectful to your fellow players is the number one thing Riot has tried to shove down all of our throats! Even if you have someone acting like a jackass on your team - Do nothing! Don't say anything that could slightly be taken as aggressive or you will see some kind of reprimand if you continue to speak out on players like this.

But in this video - that is honestly on a much more public forum than anything Riot related - has the possibility to be seen by people who have no idea what LoL is.

This is where Riot has screwed up. The double standard between pro players and everyday players. The double standard on what is acceptable profit generating tools and sponsorship videos. The double standard of passive aggressive and aggressive. Both cause conflicts - both allowed to be broadcasted to way more players than the 10 people who share a solo standard game chat.

So now that I have explained the issue we are discussing in a point I hope you actually research yourself.

Riot needs to one - publicly apologize for even allowing this type of behavior (SOMETHING THEY 100% KNEW ABOUT!) then not only fine themselves in a form of a charity donation - but fine TL and demand the video be taken down.

Then - Riot would 100% gain my respect even though thousands of players would never get a second chance on a way smaller scale than violations committed here by both TL and Riot.

...Ok, tell me why Riot should do it now. Did they lose anything?

TL had a right to show their fans what happened within the team and why they didn't perform to their fullest potential. They basically said "Hey, we messed up this year, this is why we weren't able to play as well as we could". So they showed all of that in video - and all of that led them to not a good year. Right? We can agree on that.

So they showed "Hey, if you do this, you won't have fun". That movie is a huge "DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO WIN"

Tell me again, how this movie is so bad and TL should be punished.

Er...what? "Riot has not control over what team can do"..."it doesn't harm Riot". Please stop talking, you have no idea how this environment works. It's actually mind-boggling that Riot did let this happen given how much power/control they have given how they have designed their eSport, and past history of meddling into anything that has the potential to show them in a bad light.

Because the video is everything Riot wants to keep hidden from the rage fest game. Thus all the bans. All the big pushes for Tribunal shit. But then we get to watch professionals being douche bags at their jobs with no repercussions.

If they shut down TSM making money by doing a funny add for their sponsor but don't shut down TL for making a toxic video full of rage - arguments - and bad attitude surrounding LoL for THEIR sponsor. It's bullshit and things should be reconsidered.

I learned nothing from the video other than the fact that Locodoco is a tongue tied, antagonist, immature leader. Dardoch is a immature, gifted, stubborn player.

Neither one will take their careers much further if they stay on the same path. Shit.... Locodoco gets fired from more teams than Thorin does jobs.
