Thanks for the good times, Rioto.

But ever since you employed Lyte, this game has been beyond unplayable - I have never seen player behaviour managed in the way you do it.

Your aim should be to find and ban scripters/cheaters, boosted accounts, bought accounts, intentional feeders, and system abusers as a priority, IN THAT ORDER.

THEN, your secondary priorities should be trolls/racists/homophobes etc.

Your last priority should be banning people for swearing/raging in a game - especially, if they are defending themselves.

At the moment your actually dedicating all your effort to the lowest of priorities. You have created a whole meme for it: 'toxic'. In fact the concept of 'toxicity' in this game is perhaps the most 'toxic' thing about it, since now everybody has a word for when they don't like something somebody did or said. E.g

'Omg you pick kat top, so toxic' 'omg he told me to shut up when i called him a noob, TOXIC' 'that guy just told me to stop taxing his lane, he is a toxic asshole who should die of cancer'

None of these scenarios actually effect the game, besides perhaps silly chat wars that are distracting, but they happen regardless and actually separate better players from worse ones often. Is teamwork not a skill? Doesn't rank measure this? The better the team player the higher the elo surely?

If you rage in a team game, your a bad player and you won't win games, but you aren't cheating, you aren't ethically corrupt and you don't deserve to be banned for arguing with somebody. Unless of course you wish cancer on their mum or be racist etc...But at the moment, you get reported for literally everything and anything, I actually thought about compiling some screen shots of what I've been reported for before for a laugh, but its actually more sad than anything. And you are fucked if you actually reply to the flame, simply explaining your point of view is illegal and viewed as the same as instigating and harassing. The victim gets reported by the harasser probably EVERY time.

Anyways TLDR: if Yi spams about how bad you are for 10 mins straight, I should be able to tell Yi he is a cun.t without getting banned.

Peace.

Or, you could just act like a normal human being when offended and mute him.

I don't know, different people act differently, but i would consider myself a normal human being and that is my reaction.

My friends would call me a %%%% if I spent 10 minutes raging at them and telling them how bad they were at something too.

Tell me, how does calling him a %%%% effect your life/game in any way that makes you want to have me banned? Did I ruin your game? Did I offend you?

how is implying I am not a normal human being less offensive than a word?

Sorry for the double, but if its so normal for a human being to do that, why does nobody do it?

Most people I've met do in fact just mute people who annoy or spam them, instead of continuing to listen for 30 more minutes.

I genuinely believe I've never seen anybody mute somebody in lol. Ive seen people say 'muted' then reply to something 5 minutes later after they forgot they had said they muted them, but never anything more.

I've pushed the mute button occasionally, but I have to be in a pretty zen space to do that. Sure its probably better, but then - like I said, isn't that just the sign of a better player, not a worse person. The thing I disagree with is punishing victims for not being zen enough to mute their harassers. It's like punishing character archetypes.

I just looked through some of your recent posts, not at all too long ago your reply to somebody was 'your a dickhead' - please explain how this is different.
