Can we all just give a big round of applause for Rhojin?

Ok, I'm sorry, but after discovering this guy, I had to post this.

I was going through my Red Tracker when I see this Rhojin guy. Never heard of him, decided to see what he was all about.

My god. He's quite incredible. Let me tell you all about him.

Okay, so first, off, his title. "Player Behavior Specialist". That's legitimately a badass title. Basically, it's "garbageman." He takes out the trash, he does.

Basically, when people are crying that they screamed at their team 10 games in a row and are wondering why they got banned, Rhojin is there for you.

He's there to hold your hand. He's going to tell you why everything in your life is wrong. He will sit down next to you, smile at you, and genuinely tell you why everything in your life is wrong.

And then you try to fight with him.

And that's when Rhojin evolves.

He evolves into something else.

He evolves into Mega Rhojin.

It's like Mega Gnar, but it's Rhojin.

He stomps his victims with precision, the likes never before seen on this earth.

Chat logs. The blatant statement of facts. Small amounts of sarcasm. It's just brilliant. He shoots these people down with missiles of mass destruction. On each missile, however, there is a word. And what does his missile salvo spell?

"Have a nice day."

If his victims only knew what sort of holy retribution their whining would bring down upon them, maybe they would've thought twice.

I can't remember specifically, but were you the one who, on a "why was I suspended" thread, upgraded someone's 14 day ban to a perma after looking at the logs? If it was you, I salute you.

Replace hero with "smite" and we have a clearer vision.

Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade. And I fully applaud anyone who works on that team for the shi+ slinging they have to endure.

But

In what way is Rhojin's Smites different from... Say..... Lyte? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give credit to that group, rather than an individual at this point?

(Notice: I haven't read any of Rhojin's posts other than the one here.)

HighH13 votes

because Rhojin takes a more direct and open approach. He'll straight up come to your post on the boards and smite you down with unrelenting conviction and even if you don't see the errors of your ways,he'll be there to tell you you're wrong. He wants you to know you deserved this ban and it ain't changing and all of it is on display for us. He won't be silent and tell everyone THIS GUY GOT BANNEDsummoner 11 summoner 14 every few months. He's always there,always watching,waiting. For the next fool to make his post on why he should get his account back. Then when it's gained enough down votes. There he is. Rhojin our savior.He doesn't work in the shadows(which btw isn't bad if you're still doing your job) he's in the open. A beacon of hope for all of us to remember and know that Riot cares.

back in my day we dident have these fancy boards to go complain on, you just reformed lol.... ill never have the privledge these new toxic players do and get shot down. jks aside thx for the heads up on my mentality rito i question myself daily.[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

This is so cringe-worthy... what are gaming communities coming to...

IcyPepper7 votes

Well, its a good thing we have this rioter to smite the worse ones, eh?

FearEngineer4 votes

I just don't understand how we got here. That there are appreciable amounts of people who come to the boards to gleefully post to the effect of 'OMG YOU ARE SO TOXIC, BYE BYE REKT' and that somehow these off-putting community celebration threads are becoming both consistent and... are viewed as positive?

I'm just not getting it personally. This high-five we-are-justice stuff makes me barf a little in my mouth.

I guess I grew up playing games where shit talk in a game was just... talk. This stuff where 'the good guys' come to group up on the forum and then take aggressive stances and crack jokes about peoples real life thoughts and feelings seems... weird.

Uiraya5 votes

Shitty people learning that their previously thought normal behavior is actually shitty IS a positive, though.

FearEngineer3 votes

Their previously thought normal behavior was just that-- previously thought normal. So a lot of people are understandably frustrated because they don't understand why they are the 'bad guy.'

Now that being said, wanting to maintain a minimum amount of civility in games and creating a community standard is definitely a good goal, I'm not arguing against that.

What I fail to see is how threads where droves of 'upstanding members of the league community' come to make snarky one-liners and antagonize punished players is a positive part of that process.

Your reply is fairly indicative of the mentality I'm talking about-- you seem to feel confident, vindicated even--- in the assumption that people who are being punished for spouting a bunch of bs trash talk in a video game (mind you, in a world where trash talk in video games is exceedingly common and often expected as part of the experience) are 'shitty people'.

Tryhard Mittens3 votes

If I could add my two cents.

When I was growing up and playing console games, I'd be playing against my friends, telling them they were garbage, and I would load up the trash talk.

When I was on sports teams I would tell my teammates that I was going to outperform them, and we'd make jokes and do a little friendly trash talk. (I'm going to stomp x player so bad he'll look like your face, etc).

When I played Call of Duty, I would trash talk the enemy team in the lobby.

I think the above examples are fine as far as trash talk goes. However, what you end up with in league is strangers telling their own team about how bad they are, and then asking the enemy team to make fun of them as well. It isn't friendly trash talk and banter, it is deflecting and being bitter. If you are so damn perfect, and you are far superior to your teammates, why do you have the same mmr?

You wouldn't be on a basketball team and have a teammate miss a shot and tell them they are a stupid piece of shit that deserves to get cancer...would you? Why would you ever put down a teammate like that?

People can sit around all day and say the league community is too sensitive, but they aren't recognizing that they are attacking their OWN TEAM. I don't think you should be punished for trash talking the enemy team a bit, but if you can't get along with people on your own team, then go play a different game.

Edit: I just want to say this isn't aimed at the person I replied to, but explains what I think acceptable trash talk is and where I think the disconnect comes from.

"If you go out and meet one asshole, you've met an asshole. If you go out and everyone is an asshole, you're the asshole."

Trash talking is not exceedingly common, expected, nor desirable. I probably come across an asshole in less than 1 out of every 10 games, but when they do show up they often do so in force. When those people then come to the forums and lie about their behavior to get sympathy from... very optimistic people, wasting the time and good faith of the Riot staff who take the time to go over their case on the microscopic chance* they were punished mistakenly, yeah, there's vindication, and celebration, because I don't want those people to be playing this game. I don't want to play with those people.

*To my knowledge exactly one case has been overturned, and that was a very odd case of a player (very vigorously) flaming himself, which, frankly is pretty damn annoying and if a player is doing it every game they probably should be made to stop.

Trash talking is not exceedingly common, expected, nor desirable.

In gaming? I would give a definite yes to the first two.

Nothing else you said has anything directly to do with the point I am failing to make, so... okay?

I honestly really love reading Rhojin's responses. They are accurately, curt(like me) and straight to the point. They are customized to what the rules actually are but also his view on it, rather the stereotypical copy and paste responses you get from submitting tickets.

He finds flaws, he fixes them.

If something wasn't a flaw, he tell you why. We need more ppl like him. Also a shout out to Grlee(i think that how you spell it) he's also a really amazing Rioter when it comes to Player behavior.

I do think banning people is mandatory. but I feel like it should be in stages. I mean tbh. ban for 1 week to 1 month to 3 months to a year to perma.

Astôlfo2 votes

Or, it's already in stages. 2 weeks -> perma. And before that, you have chat restrictions.
