Intentionally masking hate speech with misspellings

I am curious how the automated punishment system works in cases where players are intentionally misspelling a word to (try to) avoid the system.

For example, in my most recent game, an ally used the word "%%%oot" several times. I think the intention is pretty clear. I reported him for hate speech, but I know this is a mostly automated system. Would love to hear Rioter feedback/be linked to something from them that talks about how often they update the system to catch intentionally misspelled words.

Thanks!

As you can see from the censored part in your post, the automated system works pretty well at finding intentional misspellings

MFW You are just trying to figure out what you can get away with.
