Riot supports racism

RoG Vahn·12/25/2015, 3:05:29 AM·3 votes·1,374 views

I just got banned after asking person A to report person B for being racist to multiple people on both teams.

Riot either needs to fix their priorities or stop being openly racist.

either way im finished with league and have decided to send in a complaint with the BBB and I will take further action if necessary. enjoy your games everyone and have fun i guess.

Asking for reports is not an acceptable behaviour. Your ban has nothing to do with racism.

Just saw your name, so I think you should re-live the meme that you used to spammed on tons of my threads, and believe me, this exactly describes on how Riot would want to view on your behavior right now ;)

One form of harassment can not be traded for another. You are breaking the rules for asking others to report. They are breaking the rules by being racist. Both are wrong and punished the same way. I encourage you to find an alternative to breaking the rules when you want to stop someone else from breaking the rules. You can report, mute, post a generic thread without naming anyone, submit a support ticket, stop buying riot points (indirect way to get attention is for their sales to drop). While I agree you were right to stand up for equality, you were wrong for how you did it. Asking others to report someone is harassment, there are much better ways to fight this and many tools in place to help. Final thought, did you know if 1 person or 9 report someone it is given an equal amount of attention? Even if no one else was gonna report them and you successfully got everyone to report them it would not get them banned any quicker than just you reporting them, and leaves yourself open to punishments for harassment.

Sounds legit so far. I honestly hope the other guy gets punished eventually too.

Riot either needs to fix their priorities or stop being openly racist.

Riot has stated on SEVERAL occasions that racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, are not tolerated in any way. You getting banned for asking for reports would have happened regardless of whether your target was racist or not.

either way im finished with league and have decided to send in a complaint with the BBB and I will take further action if necessary. enjoy your games everyone and have fun i guess.

I'm sorry that this caused you to leave League of Legends behind, but filing complaints will accomplish nothing. Riot's rules about asking for reports has been clearly stated multiple times, and that is the reason you were banned. If you assault a racist in real life, you won't be absolved of the crime just because they were a racist. You'd still be going to jail. The same principle applies here. Your threat of further action is pointless, unwarranted, and empty.

I'm again sorry things went this way for you, but you brought it upon yourself by trying to fight infraction with infraction.

Have a good night, and have a merry Christmas.

You must have said the "report this guy" sentence more than once, cz that's just plain annoying, and will get you punished.

Btw, was it a 14 days ban or perma?

RoG Vahn12/25/2015, 3:15:05 AM2 votes

so asking for reports is more of a priority than somebody being a racist to other people. That is one of the reasons I am finished with this game.

Riot has an army of lawyers (like most major corporations) to deal with morons that try to sue them over petty bullshit.

It's like trying to cut metal with your dick. It just won't go well for you.

Stop lying, I bet you use "report" as one of your harassing tool. http://www.auplod.com/u/uopadl6d63e.png

I actually have to agree. Riot doesnt give a fuck about people behaving racist. I know that I am toxic myself but id never attack somebody because of his nationality. Being called Hitler every 2nd Game just coz u r German without the person that does it being punished just sucks..... there is a reason why people quit this game more and more often and its not patching wrong.
