this is getting ridiculous with the chat restrictions.
Before I start I want to acknowledge that my proximity to this situation might pollute my opinion just a little bit.
That being said, i literally can't get into a conversation with another player without being reported for toxicity any more. Which is fine, the internet is a big place. And everybody gets triggered by everything these days. But the fact that every single time i get into an argument with somebody I get a 10/25 game chat restriction is ridiculous. Below will be the posted logs that riot sent me from three different games where I got reported for toxicity. I'm curious to see everybody else's unfiltered opinion. I will add some brackets for clarification as riot only sent things that I said instead of the whole games logs.
On another note I do think you guys at riot go a little too far trying to play mommy and daddy to the league of legends player base. You guys do a great job making an amazing game, but I've already had 2 parents raise me for the past 23 years. It's not your job to try and steal their job. I'd like to think they did great considering i'm 23 and work at a good enough job to support 2 of myself with some pocket change to blow on riot points =P.
Game 1 psylome: who asked to jg psylome: i would have said no anyways. but for the record i got pulled off the computer during champion select psylome: BUT I WASN'T IGNORING YOU BRO psylome: GONNA GANK EDWARD UP TOP ALL DAY (this was a jax who asked to jungle, I got pulled away from the computer by my girlfriend for a spider. saw his message the last 3 seconds of champion select give or take) psylome: MAYBE NOT (he started feeding the new vlad. it happens. I should have banned him) psylome: its warded azir (tried to gank. it was warded. My bad) psylome: new vlad psylome: shoulda banned him psylome: but i think malz is worse honestly psylome: dude this lag is worse psylome: honestly you can't pix jax top unless you already know their top laner (Not talking smack! it's seriously dangerous to first pick jax these days) psylome: as you can see psylome: he's not very good at vlkad (talking trash on the enemy, trying to boost team morale) psylome: the champion is just OP psylome: waiit psylome: for minions to be at turret psylome: wtf psylome: jesus christ psylome: yeah jax psylome: your turrets gone psylome: stop going top (failed gank almost kills the both of us...@riot pls fix vlad) psylome: wu f psylome: lol psylome: as jax psylome: there's nothing he could have done psylome: his kit contains no counter play to your champion vlad (this is me defending jax in all chat, by the way i'm solo queued. i've never met any of these players)) psylome: bro psylome: jax psylome: dude i want you to succeed (he stole my red T.T) psylome: i can't have you with my red buff dude psylome: pretty worth! psylome: our team comp happens to be psylome: less than optimal psylome: but i think if i just get fed enough psylome: and you all buy MR psylome: we should be ok (trying to 1v5 as rengar. gotta boost team morale) psylome: WTF WAS THAT psylome: HE'S NOT EVEN FED (@rito, also please fix lucian) psylome: hell nah psylome: no me (me and azir debating who is going to carry this team) psylome: i'm the carry] psylome: no hourglasS? psylome: azir? psylome: why would you run away (probably where the game went sour. This is when ashe left me to die because i walked into a bush I didn't think was warded) psylome: i asked for help we could have had that easily psylome: it was fucking warded psylome: don't answer my question (at this point she's trolling me asking why i went into a bush that was warded. Again I obviously didn't know) psylome: with another question psylome: you look like a fuckin idiot when you do that (might be a little rude. But to be fair, answering someone's question with another question is disrespectful and makes you look bad) psylome: HOW WAS I GOING TO KNOW IT WAS WARDED psylome: this fucking ashe psylome: i can tell adc isn't your main role kid (this is a comeback to her "i can tell you don't jungle often if you don't know when something is warded) psylome: really psylome: because i have a nice shiny emote to debunk that psylome: she wants to lose psylome: i thought i left all the derankers in CSGO psylome: pls report ashe psylome: not as much as your mom kid (she called my mom a deranker or something? I don't remember exactly but the ashe barely spoke any english so this one was hard for me to understand in the first place) psylome: toxic psylome: nah psylome: fuck it psylome: let me out psylome: this ashe wants to lose psylome: oh and lets not forget the xerath support holy shit (xerath jumps in to defend his Ashe duo queue buddy. Which is fine I guess. psylome: i almost forogt psylome: probably duo'd psylome: next surrender vote i'm afking (I want it to be clear I literally never afk'd. I made the threat hoping they would let me out. I could understand this might be toxic) psylome: i'm literally reporting the both of you anyways psylome: so have fun with that psylome: trolling psylome: unskilled psylome: i have plenty kid psylome: later psylome: hold up (ok right here I waited in base for like 30g so i could buy my phantom dancer. he made a comment about how I afk'd and I was a kid) psylome: LOL psylome: THIS XERATH psylome: JUST CALLED ME psylome: A KID psylome: unlike you i'm old enough to have kids psylome: lol psylome: go fuck yourself xerath (Yeah. I guess. But by this point he's demonstrated far worse than me) psylome: you're toxic psylome: and this accounts going to get banned just like all the rest tyler1 (made a tyler1 joke) psylome: thank god psylome: report ashe and xerath psylome: toxic duo
Game 2 (For clarification this is another jungle rengar game. Which we won, Ryze claiming to be a smurf started flaming our mid laner for asking him to play a tank top lane) psylome: i don't know who shit in your oats this morning. but there's nothing wrong with offering advice that could assist in winning th psylome: which i'm HOPING is what you want anyways psylome: first of all. nobody complained psylome: the guy said psylome: "a tanky top might help" psylome: ty psylome: they denied the mark psylome: sorry luc psylome: is this a bloodraazor game? psylome: with vi and naut? psylome: yo stole the kill (me and azir were giving each other shit this game. Coincidentally both the first and second game I had an azir mid. I assure you all 3 of these games i'm solo queued) psylome: i stole ya blue psylome: oh yeah psylome: i uh psylome: needed blue for psylome: more AP psylome: could you be more useless? psylome: ? (me to ryze when i killed his enemy top laner and he farmed his creeps. Like literally the enemy died in the middle top bush. and the wave was at the next push in the lane. Could have just auto attacked for the assist, or the kill i wouldn't have cared. Fed Ryze OP) psylome: ok fair enough psylome: go for it psylome: your own elo must be too hard (Me to ryze again, he called me the worst rengar NA) psylome: so you need to smurf psylome: already gone psylome: botlane letting me make bad plays (me giving yet another bot lane that doesn't speak english. But this was just a joke I got a "jaja" from them in team chat) psylome: should have taken my keyboard from me psylome: vi lit psylome: should be able to take this dragon for free psylome: yo help me with dragon psylome: HELP psylome: THE JKUNGLER psylome: WITH DRAGON psylome: HELLO psylome: TEAM psylome: TEAM? psylome: Xd (Look I'm just saying if i'm spamming assist me pings and you're just basic attacking the turret? like come on that's not toxic is begging for help) psylome: yo i marked him psylome: kill him psylome: why you always take them psylome: WHAT I EVER DO TO YOU (me to azir. He's pretty far ahead) psylome: 1 minute psylome: on baron psylome: take herald psylome: wait psylome: wait psylome: wait psylome: azir psylome: wqait psylome: wait psylome: only 45 seconds psylome: to kill psylome: lets go psylome: CLOSE psylome: shit psylome: infernal psylome: they taking psylome: my bad psylome: %%%gots (directed at enemy team for taking dragon while we snatched baron. No i'm not a gay shamer) psylome: lol psylome: don't play the fucking abused girlfriend (me to azir/ryze, azir apologized to ryze for "complaining" in champion select. and I told him not to. I think anybody can see the justification here) psylome: this guys a shitbag (truly a shitbag) psylome: GG psylome: report ryze
Game 3 (This game I was playing ADC sivir. And I get put with a smurfing master yi.) psylome: oh shit psylome: my Q has an AP ratio psylome: goin AP psylome: bout to see h psylome: how much of a fraud psylome: yi is psylome: ty (I accidently took his krug) psylome: yo lol psylome: what do i level firstmy Q?

Although I don't play sivir much I still know the basics on her) psylome: kk psylome: ty psylome: bought a pink nami psylome: red dragon first psylome: fuckin KS'd (everything from here) psylome: lets get psylome: XDDDD psylome: let me take this krug psylome: omg psylome: reported psylome: boosted jungler psylome: didn't take dragon (to here, is directed at yi as a joke. Maybe too harsh. PRobably should have clarified. I don't think this guy learned english the right way either. But again whatever.) psylome: ah shit psylome: need 50 more g psylome: holy shit psylome: last hitting psylome: is fucking hard psylome: let me jungle yi psylome: nah i'ma need it psylome: i'm behind psylome: essence reaver is good? psylome: report trundle psylome: fuckin trolling (Trundle, trolling.

I would assume this player knows i'm joking) psylome: HOW DO I PLAY THIS CHAMPION psylome: DUDE DID YOU SEE ME psylome: I SPELL SHIELDED IT THOUGH psylome: sivir new counter to zed (btw sivir's E and nocturnes W block zed ult. Food for thought) psylome: that psylome: was gay psylome: please never repeat that joke though psylome: cass please psylome: please never repeate that psylome: SPELL SHIELD YOU FUCK (cass forgot to spellshield zeds ult =() psylome: how does it feel to know you're going to lose against a garbage ass ADC caitlyn (more trash talk directed at the enemy team) psylome: \this snake psylome: i know what i need psylome: a new snake psylome: FUCK psylome: STOP psylome: I DIE psylome: EVERY TIME psylome: cassiopeia is the kind of snake who demands shotgun and then gets stuck in the exhaust pipe of your car psylome: i'm not ulting to save you psylome: NAMI psylome: I FLASHED psylome: I ULT'D psylome: IF YOU FUCKING DIE (I ulted to save nami) psylome: get played (we got like 4 kills) psylome: i'll have my boosted ass jungler come kill you all (this should be clearly seen as a joke right?) psylome: dude psylome: i saved your life psylome: get played kid psylome: MORE LIKE psylome: FEELSFISHMAN (Uh. Cassiopeia killed fizz top i think) psylome: oh psylome: i don't have any life steal psylome: ? psylome: you're not my dad (Cass recommended BoRK, I made a joke) psylome: i'm actually (cass telling me who to kill, me simple explaining why i'm not going to follow that logic) psylome: going to psylome: attack the closest thing to me psylome: without extending far enough to die psylome: #feelsteleman psylome: close psylome: wtf psylome: dude your fish isn't latching onto yi (Some kind of possible bug with yi and fizz? Chum the waters literally failed to latch onto our yi at any point in this game) psylome: dw guys (I thought I could clean up but I ended up just throwing the match. Feelssnakeman) psylome: i'll clean it up psylome: dw guys psylome: i'm cleaning it up psylome: oh psylome: i was lagging psylome: or i would have cleaned it up psylome: boosted yi
So Obviously I had to reread all of this to make those small annotations. And if you wasted your time getting this far, thanks! After going through it all. Some things I said were definitely toxic or rude. But I want it to be clear I was a positive peter until somebody started being overly rude or mean. and in one of these games I wasn't toxic at all. simple trash talking between two team mates.
Now as far as being rude to the enemy team. I want it to be clear that I should be able to use whatever functions are in the game to assist my team with winning the match. And yes that includes the chat function. I never said anything racial or bashed any religions. The worst I did was call the enemy team %%%gots for taking the infernal drake. And if you're going to take that out of context then you're too sensitive to be on the internet in the first place. tilting your enemy is one of the best strategies for winning especially in solo queue. There are numerous ways to do that. be it through camping their lane, denying their jungle. Or just straight up telling them they suck in all chat. to say that's against the rules is honestly B.S.
But I made this post to get opinions from other players. I want to hear what you think. There's no way i'll change my behavior. the worst I've ever had it was a 25 game chat restriction and honestly that means nothing to me. Personally I see nothing wrong with the above chat logs other than the fact that I lost my temper in the first one.
