Name Change required?

So I have had the name Thornmail Condom for a few years. Just recently have been troll reported by other players who. How is my name in any shape or form an inappropriate name? Are we so sensitive to something everyone has seen in sex education by the time they are in 5th grade? I think League needs to reevaluate their system, as a long time player its becoming increasingly unfair to our community. Yes it may be just a name change but we are catering to the wrong people here.

The implication is that it is a condom made of thornmail. If you can't see how a condom made of thornmail is both overly sexual and overly gruesome I really don't know how to explain it.

For what it's worth, I find the name hilarious.

Riot probably wants to keep any sexual implications out of our names, understandably, but in this case it's unfortunate.

I sincerely doubt someone has seen or even THOUGHT of something so sexist and macabre until LONG after leaving middle school. The name change was entirely justified.

You can always submit a support ticket asking if the name would be okay. If it is, ask if they would change it back since you had been forced into a name change.

yeah i got permabanned because some newer players didn't like my criticism of their macro. i agree that riot is catering to the wrong people and the system is unfair.

The real question is, would Thornmail Diaphragm be a problem as well? Or are we sexists?

Holy shit theyre teaching elementary school children about condoms now?! Wow. I remember we didnt have sex ed till middle school... but im out of touch.

I am sure every 13 year old has heard of or know what a condom is. How old does one have to be to play League anyway? Besides, they see way more offensive words in just the chat box alone.

I think the name is hilarious too!

Well... technically it references sex, so I guess it's unlikely they'll undo that decision. But yeah, I agree that forcing a name change from that is a bit overboard. Frankly, if people that are older than 13 (or their parents) get offended at the mention of a condom that's symptomatic of a much worse problem.

On a less serious note... would using a thornmail condom still count as safe sex? Because it really doesn't sound safe.

But on a bigger note it was an opportunity to get a free name change and name it after my twitch channel so joke is on them insert self promote here absolutely not haha!

Because children play this game and they don't want millions of children googling Condom then asking their parents about it.

Simple.
