Why is there even a mute button or a offensive language report?

First off it makes 0 sense why all these soft hearted idiots don't use the mute button instead they want to see them saying shit to them knowing theres mute. Secondly, offensive language should not be reportable for the words Fuck, Shit, Bitch , etc. unless its racism. You hear profanity almost every single day. Grow up.. is League not rated T?

Actually there is a large part of the player base that does find curse words offensive, like most of the rest of the world.

League is rated T. Last i checked, the language you're talking about typically doesn't fly in T games.

You're right. I do hear profanity almost every single day. Sometimes, it is good-natured, or expressed by friends or others whom I admire. Those people respect me; they've earned the privilege of using profanity around me and would stop if I told them that it bothered me. You have not earned the privilege of using profanity around me and you're asserting that if I asked you to stop it's because I need to grow up. Your use of profanity in that context is disrespectful. Soft hearted? Perhaps. Idiotic? Certainly not. Until you learn to respect your peers and relate to them maturely, then I think it's clear which of us needs to grow up.

I agree. It's a video game, on the internet. If you are offended by curse words.. on the internet, get off of it and grow up. If you're offended by curse words in the real world, get used to it because you'll hear a lot of it.

Muting is a band-aid. All it does is cover a problem after the fact. If I mute someone, they've already crossed the line and will be reported after the game.

bad words are only reportable insofar as it's being used offensively, as the report title suggests. unless you're using it to disparage others, you don't have to worry about being reported. idk why the existence of the offensive language report bothers you so much.

You can swear in game, as long as it is not directed at players. Riot has stated in the past that you will not be punished for saying swearing words as long as they're not meant in a harmful way towards others.
