After many sleepless days and nights it happened, i was blessed with a 2 week ban after sh*t talking in a game. Somebody at riot must have quite the sensitive side cause thats dumb. I will never understand why something like that is punishable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjzgbZL12VI ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ old dunkey call back oi oi
Because other players play League to have fun, not watch you flame them.
yeeeee boi, now if you keep using chat after your 14 day ban you will get a perma. So you use the mute button or dont use chat at all. Youre on thin ice remember that.
Also to that video, doesnt matter if you Promote the game, have seniority from being there since day 1 or even spend too much $$$ on it, it doesnt exclude you from the punishment systems
The only bs moment I can think of is the streamer Tyler1 who was visually and verbally toxic, he got his perma undone, idk how but that just dint make sense.
But in MAJORITY cases ( 98%) even if you promote or stream game they still wont care, doesnt exempt you from rules
Using that Dunkey video to try to support your argument is pretty much admitting defeat since it's a known fact that he lied in it, which Lyte proved back when he still worked at Riot. To quote Lyte:
What do you think about vgdunkey's ban?
It's really unfortunate. Many Rioters love Dunkey's content, and I've unloaded my share of "Not even close babyyyyy" jokes around the office; however, we really can't show favoritism to someone just because they are a pro or a known content creator. This isn't really a debate about whether trashtalking is OK or not OK in games; we've talked a lot in the past about how we're OK with players bantering with their friends but you should be careful when interacting with strangers who may not understand your intentions--especially if you're using hate speech or slurs. We have a zero tolerance policy against hate speech, racism, homophobia, and sexism and that policy stands whether you're a random player, a pro player, or a Youtube celebrity.
This also really wasn't a case about intentional feeders and whether it's OK to be toxic towards other toxic players--there wasn't even a Malphite in the game that got him banned and either way, retaliation just isn't OK because it makes the experience worse for everyone else in the game.
We know that players have been asking us to be more aggressive against intentional feeders for awhile, and it has taken us a bit longer than we'd like. We do consider gameplay toxicity just as serious as verbal toxicity, and are launching a new Intentional Feeder Detection system in 5.18 that can ban feeders within 15 minutes of matches. We're starting with conservative settings to make sure the system would not ban players for having the rare bad game, even if it was a 0-10 type of bad game but this is a great first step to aggressively tackling intentional feeders.
At the end of the day, this incident sucks for everyone. We respect that Dunkey hasn't posted his Reform Card, and I'm not going to post it either. Best wishes to him in the future.
