Banning of Text

I know that this is a game with a wide range of players, and age groups. But seeing so many names in the game with 420 in it. This to me is a the same as any other slur or inappropriate names. There are many young kids playing the game and I know it is a parents job to teach their kids and be a mentor to them. But when you see a game that is a cartoon game without that call of duty gore, why should Riot let the text of 420 in their game.

I think that if all bad "words" cant be in game take out the number text of 69,187,420

I dunno, I think that those require foreknowledge before they're meaningful in any sense. So either a) the child has no idea what it means, sees it, and continues to not know what it means, or b) the child already knows what it means, sees it, and is not significantly affected by it, because it's something he already knew.

All of those are like "inside jokes"... you have to already know the joke before you can get the joke. This makes them rather innocuous to those on the outside, and basically innocent to those on the inside.

But, y'know, if those names bother you, report them for an inappropriate name.

I know that 420 is this haha joke but with Riot letting the Text allowed in a name is promoting what it means. So if people start to use 261 in their name will Riot make that a no no in a name? How about a 240,207,242,245,246 these are all code for something on the same LVL or higher that 420.

I just feel that Riot doesn't that 420 as a slur, but the fact that they allow it in a name Riot is promoting the action behind the code 420.

They wouldn't know the meaning of those words/numbers if someone hadn't told them already.

I would change my name if Riot wanted to ban the word kill I just feel that 420 is a text that needs to be banned.

I think this is getting ridiculous if you feel the need to cry about numbers. I mean really get a grip on your life. Or just get one, period.
