A friend of mine finally got punished.

It's weird posting about this, but I do hear a lot of people are frustrated with the punishment system. A lot of people think that punishment rarely goes around, just because they can't see it. Well, I'm posting here today because it's not true.

A friend of mine was toxic. If he/she felt like they were flamed, they wouldn't hesitate to go AFK at base, just walking around towers burning CD's, etc. Well, recently, justice finally prevailed. A chat restriction and Leaverbuster were swiftly delivered. And although they're still sort of toxic, even while serving the punishment, it has definitely toned down.

I'm obviously going to remain friends with said person, after all, League is just a game, however I never really reported this person in the past. It felt like a betrayal of friendship, and it just felt wrong. It still feels wrong to post this, but I doubt they'll ever see this.

Anyways, just a rant I guess.

Real friends will tell them they were in the wrong.

Its not being a rat, its about education of what is right / accepted by society.

It does place you in an awkward position. I've removed people from my buddy list who I just couldn't bring myself to support because of toxicity. I enjoyed playing with them but I found that I was more inclined to act inappropriately in games when they did to. I agree, it's not an indictment of you for being friends with them. It just puts you in an awkward place. Especially if you're friends with them outside of League.

Also, just an FYI. Walking around base, spamming cooldowns, or spamming dancing will still get detected by Riot's systems, I believe. Something you might want to pass along to your friend. Basically, Riot's code can detect which areas you've been in on the map and for how long. Thus even if you're just running circles around the Nexus, it'll still register that as potential AFK if someone reports you. It's not hard evidence, and thus requires more of it, but that's part of the process, I believe.

Being mad is called internet gaming

Afking at the base should be a fucking perma-ban and you should report that.
