So calling someone a Bronze player is Verbal abuse even if they are? Just played in a game against a duo Que who was in Bronze II. They were talking shit all game and at the end of the game I said we'll At least I'm not Bronze and Bam... reported for Verbal abuse.

The stupidity of people is amazing.. What's worse is Riot gives them the power to abuse the report system 24/7 with their stupidity since all reported punishments are automated because Riot is to lazy to see if that report is actually justified.

Welp time to go spend more money on a Blizz game and uninstall this game for another 6 months.

In my experience Bronze isn't just a tier, it's a mentality. I've met players that were Bronze that played on a Gold+ level, but didn't want to grind the time to get higher rankings, but I've played with Plat players, that flame, rage, belittle, to compensate for when they make a bad play... which in my opinion is a Bronze mentality.

Like saying "I got reported for calling someone Bronze" - the fact is you didn't, you got reported for calling someone Bronze as an insult. Calling someone an APE is actually correct as genetically we do align very closely with apes, that doesn't mean you should walk up to a peace office and call them an Ape with a Gun.... even though it's 100% correct.

Good luck on whatever Blizz game you're looking at.

If you see somebody with a peg leg, you don't call them a cripple.

Context matters.

That's all there is to it.

While it's easy to say "why is everyone else bad and I'm the only one good", however what one should actually do is admitting that they're also a part of the human race and are just as stupid as everyone else.

You know,if you get banned then its not just because of this one report,it means that you get reported rather often,which is certainly not without reason.

I honestly don't give two shits what people have to say.. Riot rewards morons and morons defend it. No other game has a more shitty report system and no other game basically tells you to kiss your team mates ass or get suspended for it.. and even then you can get suspended for no saying a single word in game.

Don't believe me Give me 10 games and i'll have you suspended in those 10 games.

calling you the son of your mother, even if its 100% true, could be a dire insult! you just never know.

when you chose to type those words of yours, did you mean for them to have a positive or a negative impact? because if you meant it negative (and we all -including yourself- know that it was meant as an insult) why would you be surprised about a report? that is a direct consequence of your action. It was perfectly predictable, yet you chose to do it anyways.

and now you come here afterwards and cry about it?!

ps: arent you the "smart" dude who complained about leaverbuster, even though its pretty much obvious that the problem lies with your system and setup rather than the client?
