Chat restrictions/Sensitive League of Legends

I have question for you Riot. You know you created a competitive game, right? That being said, trash talking comes with the territory. Why are we shunning others of their freedom of speech? Is it because there are more sensitive players, and you feel like you'll lose more in your player base? The sad truth is, someone could spend $100's on this game, and you'll still permaban them. Always quick to evoke punishment, but will have us suffer with your unbalanced champions. As a company, you guys have become so soft, since launch. After Season 3, it became league of feelings. Always trying to appease to the weak minded that let text effect their gameplay. It's sad, that at any moment, something can go wrong, someone has a bad day, and god forbid if they snap.

Idk why you're asking Riot about this. The players are the ones reporting you because they don't want you harassing them. We are all given leniency and multiple chances, so if you continue to do things the community does not approve of and get punished for it, that's on you not Riot.

I always find it funny when kids say "Freedom of Speech" - hate speech has NEVER been protected under the first amendment. Talk shit, get hit. Simple.

That being said, trash talking comes with the territory.

Trash talking - "I'm going to pound you into the ground so hard you'll leave a crater!" Flaming/being a dick - "Get fucking wrecked you shitball"

See the difference? Trash talking is not punishable in League of Legends, but flaming/being a dick is. Rule of thumb: if it's a direct insult, keep it to yourself.

Why are we shunning others of their freedom of speech?

Freedom of speech has precisely nothing to do with anything you're talking about. The first amendment extends only to the government; Riot is a private business, which means they can do basically anything they want to limit your ability to speak freely.

The sad truth is, someone could spend $100's on this game, and you'll still permaban them.

It's a sad truth that paying money doesn't protect someone from getting banned for breaking Riot's rules?

Riot is a large company now so they cant stay "hip" with the "hardcore gaymers" or bother listening to any real feedback because they're too busy making their game as accessable to as many people as possible, which is lowering the quality of the game. Just like any AAA game (see CoD) you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator when marketing a large product. Things like character identity and alternate maps take a backseat to

Your name is fitting. The simple solution is to stop being a douche. Nobody wants to listen to your verbal diarrhea, not even your own team.

Besides, Riot wants this game to be treated like a sport. That means good sportsmanship should be encouraged and enforced. Pro players in the NFL get fined for doing things that are unsportsmanlike. The only difference is what is defined as unsportsmanlike in a digital arena is different than in a physical one.

People just act like they've never been on the receiving end of this ordeal.

Do you see what you're doing. You're trying to tell someone to not be something that you're out in the openly are doing. Hypocrisy is definitely the shade that you're wearing. What can't people admit that a competitive game comes with shit talking, it's only natural. The fact that people are trying to police it, is rather absurd.

Naw...You just want others to agree with you and if they don't your going to argue and accuse and anything else you can think of to get your way...remind you of anything ?
