So im an avid league player. I have invested countless hours and money in doing such. I love this game. but what i DONT like is constant lashing out at me because of my ethnic background. Ive dealt with trolls, i had bad teams and ive lost games. but ive NEVER dealt with racial discrimination of this magnitude. i rarely report, but when i do, It for good cause. We lose games, i get that, so i dont report a player for having a bad game so with that being said, when i do report its usually when someone crossed the line. Rito is really streamline so when i report, I usually get a notification saying justice has been served and such but THIS time, the ONE time that i feel there is no room for this person to parttake in the joys of this game, i get nothing.... its been an few hours still nothing. My friend reported another one of our friends for telling him to Kys and he was permabanned in less then 5 min! so is this the message that you sending. that if a person is allowed to be bullied just because its racially targeted? if so then, id like my accounts that ive spent collectively 10k on over the course of 5 yrs fully refunded and i will no longer be playing league. I also wont be playing this game until something is done and yes, not that it matters. but i am an African American.

Hey guys, I've gone ahead and edited out the namedrops in this thread (including in the opening post's image). It's good to report stuff like that and honestly, I'm sure it will be dealt with with behavior such as that. Just try not to post player's names on the forums, as it is against the rules, specifically 'naming and shaming'. If you want to talk about board rules such as this one, or others, to moderators such as myself, or others, you're always welcome to join our discord.

Sorry you had to go through that honestly, but with that image... I'm sure the report will find its mark.

A few things: If your report is not the report that triggers the punishment, you won't get the notice. This doesn't mean that someone else didn't report the guy and he didn't get punished at all, it just means your report didn't trigger his punishment.

The automated reported is done by an automated system. Due to humans being able to warp the spelling of words in any way they see fit, the automated system may not immediately pick up on offensive language if odd spellings of the language hasn't been put into the system as a trigger word. It could take consistent reporting with this player's weird spelling, or even manual review in order to get a proper punishment for this player. This is why your "friend" who told another "friend" to KYS and got reported got punished - KYS is logged into the system as an instant trigger word. Adding extra "g"s or extra "r"s to the word you noted in your post will qualify as an odd spelling, and they might not be logged with that many extra letters as instant trigger words.

Your account cannot be refunded. This is stated in the Terms of Use that Riot doesn't issue refunds. If you are unhappy with other players in the games you're in, mute them IMMEDIATELY after they start on a path that you believe will lead to them using language that will offend you. This is what the mute function is for. There is absolutely no reason for you to keep exposing yourself to people who are offending you when you have the tools at your disposal to shut them off entirely.

Just curious, were these players attacking you because they knew you were African American? If so... how would they know? I have played for almost 8 years and have never had anyone I played with know my gender, sexual preference or race... so I am curious about stuff like this. I have seen threads in which people say they were harassed for being female. Do you just hop into your matches and announce it or something? Or were they saying this stuff with no knowledge of your race?

It is not acceptable either way. I am simply curious.

How long has enemy text been "red"?

I guess I haven't seen enemy text since I started muting everyone on both teams at the start of each match...
