I am an avid follower fo the Red Tracker, and it just warms my heart to see Lyte's posts. I've been in the gamer community for years, and it's become an exercise in developing a thick skin and trying to ignore the slurs thrown about like candy. I've been disappointed by one of the servers of a game I used to play, who was strict with slurs until one day they were like 'homophobic slurs are fine actually, people use them all the time so it's really silly to ban them in the first place', which felt like a slap to the face. And here I read the Red Tracker daily and see Lyte just refusing to cave in to the entitlement of the toxic portion of the player base. That makes me feel that, instead of being forgotten or grudgingly tolerated, people like me matter to Riot, that we are just as important to them as anybody else.

So thank you, Lyte and co., for working hard to make a safer and less toxic community for everyone to play in.

You, sir, wrote aloud what I think silently.

While nice, i really dont see what the need for this is. I mean its common sense. in general just dont be a dick to others. some people dont care until its too late, or even then they'll just make a new account and continue the process, or worse at a much more harsh way because it doesnt matter to them! All in all i really dont see how its helping when we still see it much more common in games now a day.

I used to feel Lyte cared about us. Then he released the new Leaverbuster and made me convinced that he doesn't care about most of us.... for the most part I do agree with most of his initiatives and goals, but I don't think he actually wants most of us to be a part of LoL anymore.
