Dear Riot,

I agree fully with Videogamedunkey's point of view. Part of the game for me is talking trash. I'm a human being and as such I enjoy the fun it brings along. There's a reason you came up with the mute button. If anyone is being too obnoxious from a persons view it is SO EASY to mute them. Banning someone for being toxic like this is Bullshit. Bring dunkey back or ban me to I REALLY DON't GIVE A FUCK, but just realize the audience your trying to target to play your game is not the audience that is actually playing.

Sincerely, Ohsnapifier

Honestly i have no idea why riot think toxicity is such a huge problem, there is literally a mute button that stops it.

There is no button to stop trolling There is no button to stop AFKs There is no button to stop feeders

There is a button to stop toxicity

It's your enjoyment vs 4/9 other peoples enjoyment. Yes, there is a mute button for a reason, but that reason is not so people can say w/e they want. Its so they can stop w/e is going on while a case for punishment is built since it was historically very slow(although its much quicker now).

We consider the "Mute" feature to be a last resort. When a player has to use the "Mute" feature, the damage has already been done. Your experience is already worse, you are already less likely to play another game, and you already don't enjoy League as much as before. The "Mute" feature is a last resort to prevent any further harassment or abuse. Just because a feature like this exists doesn't mean it's OK for players to spew hate speech or be racist or verbally abusive. The vast majority of players in League hate these types of behaviors, and we should respect these players and not tell toxic players it's OK to be dicks just because a "Mute" feature exists.

Its not that their target isn't the audience that is playing, its just that you are seemingly not apart of that audience.

Dunkey, whoever that is, did the right thing in the end. He realized league isn't the game for him and he moved on.

You know Dunkey doesn't give two shits if you play the game or not, right? I have my own problems with Riot, they are not perfect in any way and their report system is one of these things. Now, I love Dunkey, I have watched his vids for years now, but I don't agree with his reasoning. He is not except punishment just because he is a famous League Youtuber. Even pros have got bans and suspensions for being toxic. Riot is just trying to keep their game clean and enjoyable. I for one don't play games to hear some random stranger tell me that he will find me and kill my family and rape my pet hamster.

I just find it kind of hilarous because if this were anyone who wasn't a big youtuber, they would be told that its their fault and they have to deal with it by the community. This shows how retarded people are these days. Who gives a flying fuck if this ONE UNIMPORTANT HUMAN BEING quits league? Are you going to end your life?

I'm not sure when Dunkey made this video, but if his ban was really until 9/17/2015, that's next Thursday. Why are we still arguing?

I completely agree with Riot's decision about banning Dunkey... It is EXTREMELY justified as he has flamed and been toxic to people for years. However, he was only doing it for a laugh and wanted to have fun. Thus, i agree with Riot's decision but I MISS THE DUNKEY! item 3070 ( He made really entertaining videos

he was right that riot has created more of a "pussy ass baby preschool time" than a competitive game.

Support zed trolls, feeds and deliberately ruins game? nothing wrong Mid or ADC bard goes 0-5, ruins promotion series? nothing wrong Top player goes afk for minutes 3-12? nothing wrong Offer tried and true, generally accepted advice.... 2 week suspension

There is a mute option, children get on the game and then report people after opting to view continued chat. There is a language filter, children report people for language despite opting to view that harsh language. There is an option to disable chat, again the same children report people after opting to view it all.

This is the only community where "toxic" and "salt" is a thing. 1/3rd of games have deliberate trolls in them, and after ruining the game, the trolls report the legit players. Who gets banned? Not the troll.

I've never seen a game that punishes legit competitors instead of those deliberately ruining the game. Its so sad that the company actually supports banning people because other teammates complained over a loss, just to sell more RP for profit. Not to mention their support team/account managers are unsupportive, borderline illiterate and do not even respond to support tickets half the time.

If you can't handle the words from random players over the internet, maybe you should look inside yourself, decipher why it is you're so weak, and fix it instead of reporting every player in the game.

only game in the world where offering advice gets you banned, not only gets you banned it gets you a much harsher punishment than going completely afk (hidden advice for everyone, instead of talking in chat to help your team, just go AFK, it has a much smaller penalty). Good logic riot, continue catering to the lesser intellectuals and see how soon your game becomes just another call of duty.

I have 2 accounts, and I've found 19/20 issues are all on my casual account, and almost none on my higher elo account. Stop catering to stupid people who get offended by everything, thats not how life works.
