Disappointed with analyst behaviour

I’m not sure of where to put this - but I’ve been mulling this over since the PGL on the LEC yesterday (the 16th).

I figure the no name shaming rule holds here the way it does on the player behaviour boards, so I won’t name him, but honestly, if you say something like that on-air, you sort of deserve calling out.

I had a lot of respect for him initially - he seems to be an amazing coach (having coached both Caps and Humannoid), and his comments are interesting BUT (I know everything before a but is empty) yesterday he casually threw out the word ‘r%%%%%ed’ when analyzing play.

How is it that a player is held to a higher standard than an on-air paid analyst? He needs to apologize. Whether he realizes it or not, his behaviour influences other players. Zero tolerance should mean zero tolerance.

I love the LEC broadcasts, they are so well produced. Medic and Froskerrin are a great casting duo, and Vedius is a hoot. This just left a sour taste in my mouth.

Thoughts?

OR Just remove the term from the list. There will always be some term for "badly calculated to the point of implying intellectual handicap". Just stop the euphemism treadmill already. You're not actually banning the sentiment and, more crucially, SHOULDN'T BE.

While I myself have no problems with that word, it seems that would be extremely unprofessional for an analyst to actually say it during a broadcast.

Oh noooo, he used the word r%%%%%ed. Pls fire him, because that's soooooo offensive. Seriously, who the fuck cares. There are so many problems on this planet and you complain about a guy who used the word r%%%%%ed? lol

You're getting riled up over the more lax part of the broadcast? Okay...

Allow me to say there's better things to get riled up over....perhaps casters criticizing build options? Or maybe having to be corrected by the audience? Yknow....because those happened too.

But one word which would be quite unrelated to the boards? Really?

Oh no, he used a bad word that is super common to use!

I find the word offensive and I missed watching LEC yesterday...

But I feel confident there should have been a fine for it.

Very unprofessional l.

If players are punished for that behavior, then you shouldn't be using that language on a live stream if you're associated with Riot.

If you're part of a private entity, then it's that entity's responsibility to police that behavior, if they are so inclined.

While I'm against the use of that word, I think that people in his position are the only ones who I can accept calling a play idiotic. The man knows what he's talking about. A bronze player, or even a diamond saying it is not the same as someone who works around the pro spectrum of players
