Revoking Imp's Championship Title

League of Legends has had a notoriously toxic community. This is fact, this is simply how the community has come to be recognized. However, we, as a community, are attempting to better this image and player to player interaction overall. Don't get me wrong, I have my fair share of raging as much as the next guy, but nonetheless, we are attempting to create a more friendly, positive community. However, this cannot be done while players, like SSW Imp, are openly inappropriate and unfriendly towards other players in the professional circuit. Imp has openly bragged about making players cry. Last year at Worlds concerning a certain player from SKT T1; remained unnamed on purpose, if you want to know, look it up; and again this year at Worlds. Professional players are supposed to be the highest of the League of Legends community, and I believe this to be true in both mechanics and attitude. Reginald had controversy surrounding him concerning his actions towards his team members as well as other players, Reginald has improved greatly and is again a respectable coach, and player. Imp, on the other hand, has not improved at all since the incident last year at Worlds. I believe that ignoring the issue of toxicity among professional players only because they have won a World Championship, will not better the community as a whole, nor does it look good for Riot or players. What I'm proposing, while extreme, is plausible, at least to me. Imp's title as World Champion should be revoked. An example needs to be made that both Riot Games and the League of Legends community will not stand idly by while players are harassed. At the very least Imp should be suspended from professional play, but that is no longer possible since he is now "taking a break." I urge you to read this post and comment with constructive feedback. Toxicity is a serious issue in League of Legends and should not be tolerated at a professional level, even for those who are "World Champions." Let's {{summoner:10}} the LoL community and summoner 11 the toxic image surrounding it. Yours, Zerin451

Reginald and Locodoco had a pretty substantial incident a few months ago regarding some twitter posts where they were bashing Montecristo and Doublelift. I honestly don't think he's improved; he and Locodoco are honestly the only things preventing me from rooting for TSM

On the other hand I haven't heard anything from Imp recently. I know the initial incident you're talking about but I haven't heard of anything especially toxic since then (he might not be the most outstanding member of the professional scene, but I haven't heard of any missteps from him recently). I didn't see you mention anything in OP, either, if you have a particular instance go ahead and bring it up.

I appreciate that people like Regi and Imp don't beat around the bush. It's usually inappropriate but still ver refreshing.
