I had a family member of mine die to cancer but the pain she had was minimal which is pretty nice.
On the other hand wishing late stage gonorrhea or mental illness (the ones that make you stupid) sound even worse but people don't really mention those when looking for insults.

######I love this emoji
it is indeed punishable actually. it falls under verbal abuse. Wishing any form of real illnesses, harm or otherwise harrassing individuals is encounted as harrassment, verbal abuse and/or vulgar slurs and is often struck with either a chat restriction, a temporary or even a permanent ban, depending on how severely the convo as a whole went out and depending on how many punishments you have on a record so far.
You are, by ToS and by Community rules and guidelines, under all circumstances not allowed to wish ill upon another.
All forms of harrassment and offensive slurring falls under a Zero tolerance policy btw, meaning there is no acceptable reason or excuse for doing what you did. You can have whatever mentality behind your actions whatsoever, you can be bipolar and did it on an triggered accident for all thats cared. it won't make the punishment any less severe.
Back in 2012 my grandmother went to see the doctor for a checkup and he decided she needed more tests done. After those were done we found out she had stage 3 or stage 4 cancer, mostly in lungs. (She never smoked btw). She deteriorated during that summer and the entire time my grandfather(who also had cancer but it was more manageable due to being less severe and being found earlier) was a mess the entire time. By September of that year my grandmother was on her last legs and the cancer and the treatments pretty much destroyed her immune system. She passed away early that month from pneumonia which she had because of the cancer.
My grandfather never got over it and would often randomly break down. He passed away in early 2014 from what seems to be Natural Causes. But it probably really was from a "broken heart". Even early on while managing his cancer he still suffered because both my grandparents loved traveling and when home my grandfather loved working around their house and land out in the country. When he got his cancer the medicine and treatment made it much harder for him to do any of that and would often get "cabin fever"
My dad also found out he had cancer a year or so ago in his knee, though fortunately in that case it was found early and he's been cancer free for a while. Though the treatments were hard on him too and he's a bit less active now.
So yes wishing cancer on someone is an incredibly horrible thing to do and if I see anyone say something like that in game or anywhere else on the internet for that matter I immediately wish I could punch them through their monitor. Like my fist would literally fly out of their monitor and punch them right in the face. For the time being though, I guess I'll just have to settle with Riot making that one of their automatic 14 day "last warning" ban offenses.
Cancer is death. They're wishing death upon someone.
Need a Rioter to confirm...Is this the same as telling someone to kill themselves?
ie, is it going to get someone a PERM ban, or just a chat restriction?
mental illness? i dont have to wish that to anyone in this game, it feels like 95% of the ppl i meet alrdy are mentally ill.
I hope you step on Lego, have your Oreos break mid dunk and get stopped at every traffic light.
Permaban incoming kappa
You're an idiot.
Yes it's bad and shouldn't be done. I tend to report that when I see it.
The fact that you think cancer isn't painful shows how ignorant you are on the topic. I've had multiple people in my family die from cancer and they were all on heavy morphine towards the end. If your family member wasn't in pain then they were either lying to you or they were very, very lucky. Not only that but chemotherapy and radiation treatments are some of the worst things you can put your body through.
