Homophobia

I played a game today where two people continually called me '%%%%%%' and thus made me reluctant to play. In fact I went in the other room to cry. I understand this is a online game but we need to immediately ban racism, sexism and homophobia. These ppl flaunted they will never get in trouble. Yet I get a 20 minute ban... Note they purposefully change spelling but hate is hate.. Not good guys...More hate here than on the street...

Riot takes racism and homophobia seriously, so make sure you report anyone acting that way. If they were changing the spelling to try and circumvent the system's filter, annotate that in the note section when you submit the report.

If you feel you need to, you can also ask Player Support to have a Player Behavior Specialist look into it personally by submitting a Support Ticket.

Your first option should be to mute people like that though, even if you are going to report them afterwards. Never respond to them in any way that might be considered toxic, because it often just makes the problem worse. Be better than them.

Well they're kind of slow.

Being gay is A-okay in NA (okay, parts of Mexico has to catch up, but USA just followed her sister Canada's footsteps), so using "faggit" nowadays is like using... certain words that should never be okay.

Screw them. They're just assholes.

Stay frosty, my friend. You're worth twenty of them.

It's funny, when I use the word ''faggot'' I never really use it as a homosexual slur. If you're an asshole and the word ''asshole'' isn't sufficient, I'll call a person a faggot lol.

But yeah, Mute button is usually the best way for you to deal with it. If it was severe enough prior to the mute you might want to report for verbal harrasment. Trust me, people DO get banned.
