I mean, I don't really know if I show my point here but, if he was somehow Toxic and Riot hasn't done anything why are many accounts there who were, Sexists, Racists, offensive and discriminate banned ? Riot Games is going down isn't it ?
Why can no-one on the boards use the search function? There's been about a hundred of these threads made.
Real life toxicity is not the same as in-game toxicity. You want them to be treated the same, maybe require all players to provide riot their social media accounts and ban you for what you say on social media?
Do you know what's happening behind the scenes at Riot? Can you guarantee that there are no HR processes going on at the moment that we don't know about to discipline him? Just because he hasn't been openly fired yet doesn't mean that it won't happen or that he won't get some other disciplinary measure. These things don't happen overnight. And even if nothing happens, yes that's disappointing from Riot but it still has nothing to do with the in-game system.
By your logic whenever a police officer breaks the law everyone in prison should be released instantly.
CRY
Riot doesn't hold its employees to the same standard as the players who are keeping their game alive.
If you are moderately toxic for MANY games, you'll go through the chat restrictions first.
Encouraging others to die will get someone a 14-day ban, but that doesn't happen on first offense either. As we've all seen, we have reported hate speech and they didn't immediately get punished.
So if we are going to use ingame policies against what he said, it will at max get him a 14-day ban.
Which if you are applying ingame policies to real life, it will be a suspension without pay.
You still dont get your permabanned accounts back.
Because there are different standards for customers vs employees.
This is the case with most businesses.
Caveat: usually the standards are more stringent for the company employee than for the customer (think: must wait until item has been on clearance for 24 hours before it can be purchased by a store employee) but in some cases there are standards which are less strict (dealer discounts on automobiles, deep discounts on floor modles or scartch & dent products, stock options, etc).
Also, if a Riot employee is toxic in game they'll be subject to in-game sanctions, and if they are toxic in the job field there are disciplinary sanction. They don't necessarily go hand in hand.
A guy could be great and kind in the game, and a terrible employee who never shows up for work on time and always has a bad attitude.
Likewise, a person could be an oustanding and intelligent employee and be total jerk in the game.
Each action will have its own consequence - and depending on the company there might even be overlap.
this, this is the worst
