Riot, if you dont want toxic people to be in your games. Then ban the controversial words.

Toxicity can start in a game. Sure, its just a game. But if you have people telling others to "KYS" well guess what, people will say it too. I dont want you to hover over my generation (millenials) but I want you, RIOT, to be responsible for the content in your games. Once that starts to leak out in the real world, we have people with mental illness, and in your country, guns. Its not really a big surprise that those people who are able to acquire a gun, go ape shit and kill people. Thank god I live in Canada where its hard to acquire a gun. Unfortunately, these things arent really far fetched. Its pretty eye opening. Your community doesnt get your charade, and thats dangerous.

Remove KYS in your game.

This has been suggested before and answered with "people will always find a way around it" and for a good reason. Ban "KYS" and you'll get "KYSSS" or "KY$" and that's just one example

Ban similar looking words? Where do you draw the line? The word Ass is banned but add a few S's after and it wont get censored. The word "fuck" is as well, one can replace it with "fk" in for example "go fk yourself"

It would be impossible to ban every singe iteration of said words.

That word is already blocked by the profanity filter, and saying it in chat is not only punishable but also moves that player up to at least the 14-day suspension punishment tier.
