wrong. that is not what that statement says. number 4 states very clearly
Enjoy Yourself, but not at Anyone Else's Expense
"Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings." -Euripides
Making games is our business, so it should come as no surprise that we want you to have a lot of fun. We want you to get excited, to have tension-filled moments, and to celebrate your success. This doesn't mean that we're okay with you ruining anybody else's day.
Remember, taking a jab at your friend in the middle of the game is a lot different than making a glib remark at a complete stranger. Someone who is unfamiliar with what you consider playful may take your comment as an attack and react unfavorably. If two players on a team start fighting, good communication and teamwork become nearly impossible. Once communication breaks down, the likelihood of victory is drastically diminished. It isn't uncommon for simple, good natured teasing to spiral out of control into a loss, so do yourself a favor and don't run the risk of sabotaging your own success.
this is saying that players should not harass each other and call each other names. it says absolutely nothing about choosing the champion your team wants you to choose. in fact. let me post the first rule for you.
Support Your Team
"[Teamwork] is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results." -Andrew Carnegie
While we all carry a diverse set of individual ambitions and expectations into a game of League of Legends, once we hit the Field we're a part of a team. For better or worse, our fates are intertwined with that of our teammates. Once the game gets into full swing, you have to make a choice between being a positive force for your team, or contributing to your own demise.
Being a good team player begins at champion select. Be open minded when considering the needs of your team. If you're the last one to pick, try to fill a niche in your team that hasn't already been filled. If everyone's picked and something stands out as a deficiency in your team composition, try asking for another player to fill the gap, or change roles to embrace that responsibility yourself. Remember, that by taking on a role you don't normally play, you'll learn more about unfamiliar champions and increase your own skill level.
Once you get in game, try to keep an open line of communication. Warn your teammates if someone is missing from your lane, or if something is placing them in immediate danger. If they're not paying attention to chat you can always try pinging the map. Just remember that one ping is enough! Also, remember that you have to be there to contribute, so don't leave the game or go AFK! Encourage players who are having trouble, and congratulate those who are playing well. And most of all, if you're having a bad game don't take it out on your team!
what this long triple paragraph says is that
players need to be open minded about team composition
if you're unable to quickly decide your champ you should just pick something that goes with the team
after everyone has DISCUSSED their champs and then if a player decides that there is a major weakness in the team then the team should discuss possibly changing the composition and if no one wants to change then the player who wants to change should change or accept that the weakness isnt worth changing over.
dont be afraid to play champs you're unfamiliar with
TRY to keep an open line of communication
warn allies of immediate danger
you only need to ping once
Don't AFK
Encourage players who are doing poorly
Congratulate players who are doing well
If you're upset keep it to yourself and don't let it affect how you play the game.
and of course good old rule number seven which states clearly that
Be Resolute, not Indignant
"It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience." -Julius Caesar
Intrinsic to the idea of competition is the notion that, when our pride is on the line, emotions tend to run high. Every person that we encounter is going to carry a different set of circumstances with them into the game, and therefore is going to have a different level of tolerance for frustration. If you end up in a game with an abusive player, don't lower yourself to their level. Instead, politely ask them to calm down.And remember, even if you're having a bad game, quitting or going AFK just ruins the game for the rest of the players. If someone's really starting to bother you, the mute and ignore commands are always there to resolve the situation.
And remember, while nobody likes being insulted, it pays to take a moment to consider the circumstances. Remember that this is a competitive game, and, more often than not, the other player is just venting their frustration. Try not to take it personally. Everyone has a breaking point and everyone rages sometimes. At some point you may find yourself in the other person's shoes.
this rule states that you should put yourself into an upset players shoes when they lash out at you. if you cant resolve the issue then you should mute them.
so let me clarify what 99% of this community is NOT doing.
they're not putting themselves in this summoners shoes. they are not having an open mind about team composition. they're not taking it upon themselves to make the changes in champ selection. they ARE insulting players for their choices and chanting their AFK anthem. they're NOT pinging only once.
the reality is that a majority of players who play this game dont care about the rights of other players or the summoners code or the repercussions of the EULA. Maybe even some riot employees as well.
what everyone here cares about is winning and to hell with everything else.
regardless of whether or not this person is a good guy or a jerk citing communication and cooperation as reasons for this ban is just not going to cut it in my book as legitimate reason. they may fit the bill under the "we can do whatever we want to your account neenuneenee" clause, but if it weren't for that i'd say this issue would be even bigger than it is right now.
