"Chaotic" seems to be one of the words filtered by the chat filter feature. What the hell Riot?

Explaination?

Is "chaotic"(but not "chaos" lol) banned by the fascist Chinese government because they think it'll invoke the seed of rebellion in its people?

That's the only explanation I can come up with. Government regulation in another region.

Hey, friend.

I see you're having trouble understanding a few concepts here. I recommend you read the following source(s) in order to review these concepts and then try again:

Is it not possible to remove the filter anymore? I've had issue with it coming up when it shouldn't lately. That aside this is a REALLY odd word in the chat filter. Can they filter the word Yasuo next? This word legitimately offends me.

I noticed that you can say "fool", "moron", and "imbecile", but not "idiot".

To be fair, not many people know how to spell "imbecile" correctly.

Riot is just like my senior year english teacher. Wants us to use more colorful synonyms than good, bad, and idiot.

Nameless Voice7 votes

To be fair, I've never seen anyone get upset when you called them "reminiscent of a monosynaptic troll, who has a mind as slow as the drying speed of paint."

No, no, they're like my English teacher: she proclaimed (talked to me, but loud enough for everyone to hear) in class(!) that I would get a lowered score in Oral English due to having an "American accent". American apparently wasn't English to her...

On a sidenote of that, it hurt me so bad, I have been hesitant to speak english ever since that happened, 25 years ago...

This is old news. They even filter the word "gullible" too. It's ridiculous.

When i installed new client filter was off and i learned that "support" spelled like this is also filtered. I mean "chaotic" sure you can somehow force a weak connection but "support"? Why when who?

What if you're calling in air support against the X region via LoL chat?

Gotta have your bases covered, y'know? :^)

Casters during Worlds said it so much that the chat filter suddenly became self-aware.

I recommend shooting the chat filter server with 12-gauge shotgun shells filled with fresh molten metal. It worked for the terminator series.

Getting bought out by tencent was one of Riot's darker moments. The Chinese have no belonging in the video game industry, oh well, we all make our choices.

Mata is also filtered. LCS casters can say Mata in front of hundreds of thousands of people and it's fine, but I can't make amazing references to five people in champ select.

The Space Cowboy10 votes

Mata means kill in Spanish and probably other latin languages. Obviously killing is not okay in league of legends. Pretty soon I bet pentakill becomes pentaKO like we are playing Nintendo.

I was making my status on the new client and I was trying to set it to "Stan the Plan Man Dan" but apparently "Man Dan" is offensive and I couldn't set that as my status. Man anyone named Dan has gotta be pissed.

Feminists are offended by the word MAN, they prefer the term non woman.

You can't say the word "suck," and i understand why but the word by itself is harmless. Now if I say the phrase "that sucks" it sounds a lot worse than it should be.

PaladinNO3 votes

Does that mean "vacuum cleaner" is also filtered? It sucks too. Tencent, please! Don't vacuum so much!

You're being completely unreasonable. You should put more effort into improving the game by finding bugs, like why searching for the "Uncle Ryze" skin sometimes turns up "Capitalist Pigdog Ryze".

A lot of other things have been removed/censored due to Chinese censorship, since Riot is owned by Tencent: a Chinese company who has to conform their 'property' to Chinese regulations. _ Edit: China is less the direct cause for censorship in NA and other regions than Riot's desire to homogenize the servers for easier management; just FYI. Chinese server is still the root cause of many censorships in League. _

Riot has been owned by Tenecent multiple years before they actually announced it, it had always been that way then.
