Mental Illness Bullying

I would like to make it more aware and would like to ask for someone to do something about the bullying of people with mental illness in League of Legends. I have told people that I am sorry because I have a mental illness and they will continue to group as a team and bully me and then call me a term that I do not wish to repeat and then they 4-man report me. How are people with any type of mental illness supposed to play this game if they get shamed for being who they are and then they get banned for an unfair 4-man report. I have not been banned before but I have had friends banned for the exact reason. I just would like for something to be done about it. Thank you.

People are jerks and will latch onto anything person you tell them. You have absolutely no reason whatsoever to ever tell anyone in League that you have a mental illness. You don't owe anyone an explanation.

Riot can not take up the duty of being anyone's therapist, or protecting any group more than any other. They want all players to be free of toxicity in League. Report the assholes after game and don't concern yourself with them.

I do not think that Riot allows bullying in any way, much less towards mental people. Please mute and report them towards the end. A 4 man or a 9 man report, it doesn't matter how many people report you if you did nothing wrong. Do not talk back, simply mute. You can also play the game with everyone muted.

Banned for what? Unfair 4 man reports? There are no 'unfair' reports. One report or 9 reports, doesn't matter. They must have said something or lashed back which resulted in a punishment.

4 man report do nothing to you if you did nothing wrong You can't simply get banned for being reported, you get banned for breaking the rules and getting reported

And what more do you want riot to do about it? They are already punishing toxic players

You shouldn't worry about getting reported if you haven't done anything wrong as false reports get tossed out.

Now the next question is whether you know what is considered "wrong".

just dont tell anyone you have a mental illness? People are assholes who will use anything they can against you. But you don't have to give them the ooportunity. Idk, I wouldn't ever tell any stranger in a video game i suffer from depression? Because why?? It's straight up unnecessary. If you cant deal with anyone flming you, just mute all from the beginning and play your game, like i dont get whats the problem
