I received a death threat from a post I made here in Player Behavior

So a couple days ago I posted about an encounter I had during ranked where my team had a Nunu ADC who was purposely inting and said he wanted to get demoted to Iron IV. (https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/ZjZAMeBV-inting-player-nunu-adc-said-he-wants-to-get-demoted-to-iron-iv)

Today when I logged into League of Legends I had a friend request from someone. I didn't recognize the summoner name, so I looked him up on op.gg. I saw he was Gold IV (I am Silver IV right now). So then I thought oh cool maybe he's from the forums and added me and wants to group or help me out in my climbing through ranked. So I added him.

About 30 minutes later I am playing a ranked game and he starts to send me direct messages while I'm in a game. First he starts sending me my own sentences from that forum post here. So I was like "uh, yeah, that's my post." And then he starts asking me me why do I play league if I am stuck in silver. I was like "hey man I just play for fun. I like to play and I am trying to get better..."

Then he starts spamming that I am wasting my time if I am in Silver IV and I shouldn't be playing at all. I was like "haha you're funny", trying to play it cool, but I was getting a weird vibe.

And then it got dark.

He started saying that he can track my ip and that I am going to meet him very soon. He said that I don't deserve to live and insinuated that he is going to kill me.

All because of my forum post here about someone inting.

Meanwhile I am trying to play ADC Jinx in a ranked game and not be rattled by this guy, who I can't block now because I'm in a game. Ahh!

And then he ended the conversation by telling me that he has 22 accounts and if I try to report him for threatening to kill me then he will create 6 more accounts to harass me. He said something like "cut one head off and 6 more will grow back". I was like "haha you're fun".

Ugh.

I made sure to grab some screen shots of the crazy stuff he was saying and after the match (I still managed to win!) submitted it in a ticket. Riot still hasn't responded.

I know the forum rules and will not say the screen name of the person. And I also know that he might see this post.

Basically, long story short -- now I know not to add random people who send me friend requests. [slayer-jinx-wink]

To be honest I am still freaked out and hope Riot takes action soon.

You're fine, unless he has access to Riot's direct servers, he cant track your ip. You have nothing to worry about, just some troll trying to fuck with ya. Thats some xbox shit right there lol

I guess if he is that pissed off to send you a death threat , it means that ur report worked and he certainly got a ban :o

Send in a support ticket, they will be able to help you as best as possible

Edit. did not see that you already have done that. they will get back to you within 1-2 days most likely

So when I logged into the game today I had 5 friend requests. Including from some of the people here supposedly trying to "apologize".

I deleted them all. I'm not going to open myself up to that kind of harassment in a goddamn video game I play for fun.

I appreciate all the comments and am glad for the opinions that the messages were just empty threats from an angry kid.
