Dunkey has been playing, promoting, enjoying, this game for 4 years.

This isn't a guy who was doing it for the money, or the fame. It was just fun for him. He was doing LoL videos before it was a huge worldwide hit. This was a guy who loved League of Legends. He deserved his time ban, sure, that's what happens when you break the Summoner's Code. He could just wait out his two week ban, and come back and play when it's over. But he's not. He's leaving for good. A guy who has stuck with this game for FOUR YEARS is gone, not because he received a ban, but because he just doesn't enjoy the game anymore. The fact that Dunkey, DUNKEY, can't have fun in this game after all the time he's put into it, really tells a story about how this game has gone downhill. Riot drove away one of it's most avid, beloved players with all their bullshit and the sorry, unfun state they've left the game in.

The terrible ranked system, Riot's greedy cash grabs, the absolute incompetence of the balance team, the outdated client, and the players who don't take ranked seriously (encompasses trolls, AFKs, and intentional feeders) have all just piled up over the years, and Riot has done nothing about it. And now one of their most famous promoters has left.

That's really sad to me, and I wish it would be a wake up call to the people in charge of this game. But it won't be. We'll all keep buying PROJECT skins, and we'll keep watching LCS, and Riot will look at their profits and call it a good day, while the game rots away as it's creators strip it for parts, squeezing out every last inkling of money to be had. The players cry out, we know there's something wrong with this game, But Riot won't listen. They don't care about us.

He's been toxic in over half his games. Rules are rules. If he acts like a jerk, he will be treated like one, even pro players are not immune to it. Get over it, good for us to have one less toxic player to play with or against.

Being popular and making videos is not an excuse to be a jerk toward teammates and enemy team

Just because you love the game and make popular videos doesn't exempt you from the rules. This is like the "1%" super rich people that are often joked about that they can commit rape and murder and confess to it but just get a slap on the wrist and a tiny fine; it doesn't matter who you are or who your victim is, it is wrong.

I don't think that it is as simple as you make it out to be. I have been playing for a very long time as well and have seen this game swell to the huge community that it has today. I personally feel like RIOT is trying but are just a bit over their heads. If you think about the millions of people playing this game that is a huge group to please and there is not real good way to do that. Another thing is that LoL is free to play, you don't have to buy anything with money outside of skins (which are only visual modifications). I am cool if people want the new skin or champ and want to buy that with RP that is their choice. I myself have always just saved up the IP and got the champ that I wanted later. So while RIOT may be making money off of some people they also spend a lot of it too. I am a pretty tilty/toxic player so at some point I will most likely be facing a time ban as well but, that is on me and my actions. I do feel that LoL is a bit too strict on verbal abuse seeing as how there is an option to mute players that piss you off. While on the contrary players that are unskilled can simply fly under the radar and feed every game as long as they are nice about it. Most likely these things won't change. Dunkey will play again and will be uploading vids in some capacity or other in the future I am sure. It does sometimes feel like we are the little guy in RIOT's eyes but I just think they didn't expect this game to explode like it has. With no subscription fee moderation of this game is difficult and with no cost at all to the players RIOT needs to find a good yet inexpensive way to enforce the rules that they deem significant. My personal thoughts is that they should punish people the way CS:GO does by tribunal with video playback. This would give reviewers the opportunity to see what exactly happened in the game to cause what happened in the chat. The bot that they have handing out bans based on reports that are deemed legit by a system that we don't understand seems a bit dismissive and lackadaisical but, there isn't much we can do about it as the player base other than just stop playing.
