Thank You Lyte

I know you get lots of hate for the recent bans but I want you to know that I appreciate the steps you are taking. Taking a hard line can be difficult but unless some one stands up, nothing will ever change. You have every right, as the curators of this game, to create the community that you want.

As much as I hated doing it, there was a long stretch of time where I would drag my chat off screen so I didn't have to be distracted by the negativity. I found I enjoyed League much more when I interacted only via ping. I completely understand getting frustrated, and being able to tell a player they are not pulling their weight is an important part of team play, however, some of the personal attacks I witnessed should never be acceptable.

I look forward to a league where hostile interactions are infrequent and sportsmanship is the norm.

My favorite thing Lyte did:

-Summoner starts a complaint thread because he was banned -Blames Lyte -Lyte publicly posts his chat history and destroys him

-Guy comes back and says he's been good -Lyte posts his chat history from that day -It was nothing but racial slurs and blaming his team. -Publicly rekt; +1 for Lyte

I have no idea how he goes through all those chat logs and doesn't just hate life.

Just looked up his posts. That was beautiful wreckage.

In conclusion: Lyte is too real, and doesn't need a PhD to demolish arguments.

Aye, the PB&J team are badasses.

Thanks from me too, Lyte. I won't claim that I've never been negative before (I'm still human), but I'm not an antagonist or an instigator. Most of all I'm sick of the homophobic remarks. There are a couple of people I keep hoping will get banned for repeatedly using gross/graphic language to harass their teammates, who casually mix in some homophobia for kicks. Unfortunately it looks like neither of them got even the 2-week ban, but I'm sure plenty of people similar to them did--so that's a win anyway.
