Ever since the new banning system was implemented I have had little to no reason to go about my normal way of hating, flaming and insulting out of boredom because I know i'll just be muted, reported and then dealt with immediately after the game instead of getting a random ban sometimes a month or two later.

I have various mental illnesses and live on Disability. I'm basically a failure of a person who can't work or go to school, or do anything besides play League and browse the internet. I would take out my boredom and frustration with the world on literally anyone I came in contact with because nothing ever happened when I did so. Until now anyway. Now I started to realize how my words and actions affect people.

I know it's pathetic that it takes a threat of a real ban for me to realize this, but it is what it is. I suppose that's why I'm disabled among other things (namely 6 mental illnesses, Schizo/Aspergers/Anxiety/Depression/Intermittent Explosive Disorder/Rapid Cycling Bipolar)

It wasn't until this system was implemented that I realized how fucked up I was being towards people, not only in game but in person. My therapist and friends have noticed a significant positive change as of a few days ago.

I just wanted to thank Riot and Lyte personally for showing me the error in my ways.

So you don't work, and you stay at home raging at people on the internet? I'm fucking paying for you to live? I'm starting to dislike this country more and more every day.

What did I fucking tell you about swearing?

God damn it. Learn to be polite.

If you have a mental illness... the internet probably isn't a safe place to be.

jesus fucking christ... the hate on this board is real. I have depression (moderate), and i cant imagine how it must feel to be this guy. He's trying to get a job, and it's not his fault that he has mental illness. There is no "cure" for a lot of these things... dont talk about what u dont know

CynicalGiant, congrats man. Coming back from being toxic in League is like quitting smoking(not that i know what that's like but i have a pretty good guess), except like 10x worse. Welcome to rebirth, we accept you as you come.

Welcome back, brother.

At least you're aknowledging that you've done wrong, and it seems to be working in your favor. Good luck with your therapist and writing, I hope it works out for you

Honestly, buddy, kudos to you. I get how difficult it is to work through mental illness. Good on you for never giving up, and actually listening when people are trying to help. Most important first steps, in my opinion. Way to go.

This won't happen overnight so don't get mad at yourself for being toxic the next couple of days if someone pushes your buttons.

I have Asperger's and live on disability too. But...you don't see me flaming and raging. I don't have all that other shit though.

Is medical marijuana legal in your state? Look into getting a weed card.

Proud of your reform, Cynical

I'll think twice now about asking if the person flaming me is retarded. I promise to make it sound more sweet. Glad you came around it but did all of those mental illnesses really cause you not to think about other people?
