Riot sides with bullies

This organization clearly has no sympathy for sufferers of autism spectrum disorders nor do they care how we react to verbal abuse. I do not initiate abuse yet get punished for responding to horrible verbal abuse. As far as I'm concerned riot tends to side with the bullies against the victim due to bullies ganging up and reporting in mass. Thank you for making me feel bullied and persecuted for my disorder by only punishing me and not my bullies. Feel free to print out the text of both sides showing how abusive yi was. If you only print out one side it takes out context. Anyhow this isn't the first time I've been punished when I have either been polite or responded to constant abuse. If more than one person reports you riot tends to take the bullies side and punish. Yet if they use homophobic comments against me I see them playing still without issues.

Don't insult them back, instead mute them and report after the game is done.

Judging by how agressive the system is atm, they will get banned in no time for insults regarding autism and homophia.

Riot is not siding with bullies. When you engage with them and argue, you are crossing the line to their side.

Mute, report, and move on.

Just so you know, they system treats multiple reports in a single game exactly the same as if it were one single report. Riot has ALWAYS done this to make sure that premade parties don't have more power over a single person.

Premade false reports of 3+ are the worst

I'm not just referring to this incident but the times I've been mass reported for not going whatever role the team decided I must go and rudely demands I do or the reports I've gotten for taking a non-conventional jg choice.

I don't know why this is getting so many downvotes, the system doesn't really work 100% of the time. There have times where I have been ranked banned just for talking. "BUT HOW, IT HAS TO HAPPEN IN MULTIPLE GAMES." In a game where everyone is a butthurt angry teenager who just wants to win, tell me how many times you've heard "REPORT BLANK" out of the last 10 ranked games you've played? Because for me it's roughly 8/10. People always want someone to blame. And if you irritate them, it doesn't matter how you did it, but they report you for verbal and move on.

Ok but we don't know what you said.......so don't think autism gets you freebees.

You can't use your condition to excuse treating others poorly... If that's the case, what's the argument against institutionalizing anyone with any mild mental disorder?

No. If you want to be treated as a equal part of society, then you have to conform to the same standards as everyone else.

Sidenote: you don't actually know if your bullies were punished or not, so quit acting like you do.

If you feel you need to respond, you may want to think about muting everyone as part of your game set up. It's not perfect, but it's a tool you can use to help keep yourself out of trouble.

Riot doesn't side with bullies, but there is only limited tolerance for responding. Telling a bully to knock it off once? Fine. Reminding them to just play? Great. But getting into an argument with them and returning insults or threatening to report them? That's when it shifts into "Two wrongs don't make a right" territory.

the amount of reports dont matter, you only get punished if your chatlogs say your toxic or insulting.

Nucleophilic atk5/29/2015, 11:43:27 PM1 votes

Just mute them. I'm not sure why you think you should get special treatment.

Amusing how much negativity this post gets rated. I wonder how many read it first.
