Considering a player to be "godlike"

His Sexy Potato·9/18/2016, 9:27:12 PM·3 votes·602 views

To whom it may concern, I am writing in behalf of a friend and who knows how many other players may share his problem. Currently in the game, if a player kills 6 enemies in a row he is considered to be "godlike" which can raise the issue of him being compared to God. My friend knows this to be wrong as it goes against the holy books of his religion but unwilling to give up on this incredible game, the only game he and I play, he asked to the priests of four local mosques and they all told him that he couldn't play the game as it was an offense to God. With this, I mean to ask you with all my heart if there is any chance this word could be replaced by something that couldn't raise the question of being or not against his religion, I understand it's only a game but some people aren't as flexible and might take it the wrong way. I would also like to show you my appreciation for this wonderful and amazing game you created. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Yours faithfully, Marta Xavier

saying someone is god and saying something is godlike are two different things.

Rarely are sock-puppet accounts so obvious...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the priests don't even know about the kinds of things that get thrown around in chat in this game.

Riots not going to change that, it's been the same since the games inception and your concern is extremely niche. Modifying game files is against ToS, so you can't make your own sound. Riot isn't likely to make an alternate version either because they want the game to be the same internationally.

Personally I think a "God" is awfully vain if words like that genuinely upset it. But you have every right to believe what you want and it's not my job to tell you how to live.

if it offends your friend that much for the term "god like" then maybe they need to uninstall the game and find something else. i mean with champs drinking, the animated violence and death, the devilish demon like champs concepts the over sexualized female champs with their figures. do i need to go on? but they are ok with all that its just the term "god like?"

there are all kinds of GODS through out all religions and literature, riot does not say what god or deity they are referring to. therefore it doesnt single out any certain faith or religion therefore to find this offensive is just being stupid.

Not that I was taking this seriously at all, but

priests of four local mosques

Do you even think?

And as a lifelong Catholic, they aren't being compared to God (big G). Is it sacriliege to call the figures of Ancient Greek, Norse, or Roman mythology gods (small g)?
