You can't get banned for toxicity if you never communicate

That was removed!

They merely include it with other reasons. Refusing to communicate is griefing your team.

You can't be banned for refusing to communicate because people who /muteall don't get banned for refusing to communicate. Furthermore, people who can't understand the primary language in the game aren't banned for not being able to communicate.

Is this official policy now? Because if so, I will be typing /muteall every single game.

Additional update: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752984-Chat-Restrictions

#If I can't chat in-game, won't I be banned for failure to communicate? Players are never banned for not communicating through chat in-game. In fact, a large portion of games are completed with very few words being said at all. If you feel you need to communicate to your team, then you should use Smart Pings. Smart Pings will allow you to communicate all vital information much more quickly than typing. Smart Ping allows the following commands to be given: On My Way, Enemy Missing (MIA), Be Careful, and Assist Me.

What if you create the meme? It isn't a meme and yet you just made a meme.

I would proceed to say "mind blown" but...

You can't have your mind blown if you don't have a mind (sorry) http://media.lolusercontent.com/api/embedly/1/image/resize?url=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FkRJPNXP.png%3Fnoredirect&key=a45e967db0914c7fb472fd4381e6c85b&width=150

You can't be punished for toxicity when you aren't toxic

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4R7-x8VMAE9pQW.jpg

Most things that are "toxic" aren't toxic. A lot of the behavior that Riot considers toxic can be seen in abundancy in the forums, and sometimes, even in red posts.

ThèRedBaron2 votes

exactly, Rioters have shown themselves to be very toxic.

jaypiff4 votes

unfortunately you can. take myself for example. I am unable to play right now because I dodged a troll in champion select. So I am punished for his negative behavior

You mean you were punished for dodgin? Heavens no....

Limmie2 votes

You were punished for dodging, not for toxicity though.

That's not how the meme works. Take it down.

KVbqbFsC8e2 votes

The problem is Riot and this community mistake truth, facts, and reality with "toxicity".

AraMoOse7 votes

These are not mutually exclusive, you know... There are things which are true which it would be inappropriate to say in a public setting...

52B3UJZXZo2 votes

dude i got 5 game restriction because i told my toplaner to build armor/hp against darius and not glascanon ap....

and no,....i doesnt curse him or anything i said exatly this "dude its stupid to run full ap against darius, buy armor/hp" .....

but i called his build stupid.... and thats according to riot extremely offensive.

IcyPepper4 votes

"Alternate facts."

Show us the chat logs.

WoonStruck2 votes

I've gotten a warning before and all I ever do is suggest items/builds or mention strategic aspects of the game.

Some people are overly sensitive to criticism.

However, situations like that never lead to punishment, just warnings. Riot has systems in place that prevent false-positives from causing bans to come to fruition.


I agree with you. I think he's bullshitting.

IcyPepper1 votes

I believe you, though. There are some warnings from false positives from people who abuse the report system, but thankfully their report "weight" drops because of it.

ThèRedBaron3 votes

to think that riot is perfect and that NOBODY gets banned incorrectly is INCREDIBLY idealistic.

IcyPepper2 votes

This is true.

S0LST0RMER1 votes

don't listne to him he working fo skynet

IcyPepper1 votes

You know too much.

AraMoOse2 votes

Something does not need to be "extremely offensive" to be "something you shouldn't be telling people".

The example you give is a very good one. A civil person capable of social interactions would have been able to make the same comment without calling the person in question "stupid". There is 0 benefit to you or your team in speaking to teammates in this way, and there are plenty of disadvantages to doing so.

AIN'T NOWHERE IS SAFE, MAN!!!

ThèRedBaron1 votes

True, but not as many things as Riot, or most of the world think are too bad too say in public. Sometimes people are just blunt, its about time that people start realizing they exist. besides things are crossing the line, saying someone's build is stupid or what they did was bad is not toxic. It's being opinionated and blunt. If stuff that low key offends you that badly, you are playing the wrong game. Riot catering to people's lack of tolerance is not helping anything at all.

Everybody speaks of tolerance and yet shows none at all for those who speak differently than them. Words are just words, they literally can't hurt you unless you let them. That of course is on you.

Disclaimer: I'm not condoning certain slurs, those go to ideas beyond words can and will be hurtful to someone.

I personally don't say mean things to people, because its a game and I don't allow myself to get angry over something based on having fun, but when people do I don't care. For the most part they are letting off steam, and thats a good thing. If they bring that anger outside of the virtual world, the consequences could be much worse.

P.S. even if someone uses a slur against you online, don't let it bother you. Who honestly cares. Its someone you don't know who doesn't know you. That word means nothing coming from someone you don't know. If you let it get to you then the pain is on you. There is no reason to get physically upset by something virtual. Cyberbullying has become an epidemic because cyberbullies know it will get to people. If people grew thick skin none of these things would be issues. People would be happier

and happiness, is what truly matters.

sincerely,

Yes you can be banned. Why would Riot stop banning people if there were more toxic people?

Asterfix1 votes

Because it's a joke.

Wait I thought roll safe meme is supposed to not make sense

WoonStruck4 votes

Nah, its about not failing by avoiding the situations where you could fail in the first place.

Lord Galvatron1 votes

But how you avoid the situation has to be almost just as bad as the situation you were trying to avoid in the first place.

That's what makes it Roll Safe meme. Technically OP didn't use it correctly buttt %80-90 of the boards are normies so it really doesn't make a difference, and it's not like he completely butchered it. It's still funny and I still upvoted it.

WoonStruck1 votes

It depends; its pretty damn variable, but a lot of the better ones involve a massive failure as far as critical thinking goes.

The ones that don't are generally the ones I described, and those are far more common because they seem more relatable, and you know how all of the normies on Twitter/Facebook are.

h5LYF41Lam1 votes

you cant get banned for toxicity if you know riot punishes trolls.

Hallbuster1 votes

Banned for AFK, banned for invalid purchase order, banned for modifying game files, banned for playing outside of meta, banned for defending accusations without necessarily swearing or being outwardly offensive.

Asterfix2 votes

I had stopped playing for a year after my daughter was born, i got back on and had a 30 minute ban for queue dodging. I don't dodge queues unless someone utters the word "feed" in a threatening tone and i'm pretty sure 30 minutes had passed already.[zombie-brand-mindblown]
