Im 26 years old and a 14 year old player starts talking about sex/drugs/etc. As an adult i understand that at that point muting is the responsible thing. But what about the sickos?

i read in the tos/ua that you must be a legal adult to start an account, YOU KNOW THIS ISNT HAPPENING SO PLEASE IMPLEMENT SOME FORM OF AGE MONITORING, Although people will lie....THIS ISNT A SUITIBLE SITUATION RITO

I'm pretty sure that the age restriction is just a standard disclaimer to protect Riot. Very few games actually bother monitoring the age of their players, especially considering how easy it is to lie about it.

Only age monitoring I can think of would involve a Credit Card for registration.

If you're gonna claim such a thing fricking copy and paste the section that states that you must be a legal adult from the TOA/UA.
