A vague "kill yourself"

Uriel·Mar 9, 2019·26 votes·13,952 views

So last game I didn't have one of my best games as adc, my support played too aggressive and gave them two early kills, where I failed to be able to make up for the lead the enemy had gotten. We ended up losing, the inevitable outcome.

Though in that game, our midlaner started being quite offensive, eventually just roasting the support with "when we're done with this game, you need to reconsider whether it's anything worth for you to be alive."

Like, whoa, that's some rather heavy flame to drop on somebody like that. But isn't that outrightly banable? Since it's saying "go kill yourself", but just in different words?

"kys" type comments are picked up by the system. Something like that wouldn't really be captured by the program, I'm pretty sure. If you report it, it helps some. It's not a perfect system.

What happens when someone tells you to kill yourself and you and your duo report but riot does nothing. I don’t understand how 2 people report for it and nothing happens. Smh

From what I understand, more than one person reporting doesn't really do anything. It's just the system reading over what the person said and if it doesn't pick it up, or if they're in really good standing beforehand (basically honor level 3 or above) then they probably won't get banned or anything.

Interesting... wait no... the other thing... who cares?

People get angry playing league, mute them, move on.

I think you don't understand it, saying things like that is very childish and weak.... and people who say it must be punished from my perspective, if these people keep ruining games for the other players they encounter, league becomes a toxic mess (I know it already is but it doesn't have to get worse).. :)

I don't understand. You're calling people "childish and weak" for name calling in a video game. I am guessing you are trying to be ironic.

First you're name calling them for calling you names, and the names that you're calling them would mostly apply to people who take seriously what a random no-faced stranger on the internet has to say about them.

Except that's not name calling, that's telling someone to kill themself. It's a garbage thing to say and players that do should be punished for it. That's all there is to it.

that's telling someone to kill themselves.

What kys actually comes down to in the context of League is this: The sum total of your entire life is null and void because you are bad at League of Legends. That in and of itself is extremely serious.

Saying to people they need to end their lives or kill them selves idc tbh, is absolutely not name calling

THERE IS A MUTE BUTTON. IF YOU DON'T MUTE SOMEBODY YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THEN YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROBLEM.

Totally Worth ItMar 11, 20192 votes

Ok Corki since it's rather clear you don't understand the problem how bout we put in this context. Suppose I say something to you and you (in a far weaker mental state) actually decide to end your own life. Am I absolved from my actions because "you didn't hit the mute button"? Because if I'm reading this correctly, you're basically saying that because you didn't mute me (for whatever reason) then you deciding to kill yourself is your problem and I'm completely absolved of all wrong doing.

If I'm right (and I actually am right), this is horrible. Think before you speak, my guy.

Looks like a 14 day ban. You should send a ticket to riot support so they can investigate. The report bot probably won't pick up on things like that. I opened a ticket and it took them 5 days to ban an inter that ran it down in my ranked game.

Either a mod or rioter once told me to kys. Received a log in or account change request that didn't come from me and the code was N5KYS. This was right after receiving warnings and a short ban from the boards so I doubt it is a coincidence.

Consider it a badge of honor that my discourse peeved someone from riot off that much.

ParavozikchoochoMar 10, 20192 votes

There are bunch of kys walkarounds. Actually there is a good short substitute of it, which for some reason still not considered by the system.

Gay4Jay4Mar 11, 20192 votes

Good lord, you kids are soft these days.... Press mute and the problem is solved.

Totally Worth ItMar 11, 20192 votes

Pressing mute is only a stop-gap measure. This kind of toxicity needs to be punished, but the system is still relatively ineffective at catching comments which are basically saying "kys".

mlgpepe666Mar 17, 20191 votes

Dude what???, so if i get this right. If someone says to you that you need to END YOUR OWN LIFE, you just mute them? i think you are only trying to act though here buddy and even if you really do mute them and move on, i think YOU are the weak one here, you just let this be said to you?. things like this needs to be punished

It definitely is banable, but the system looks for keywords and if what the person said does not contain those it probably won't get picked up on. If he gets reported often a riot employee will look into his behavior and hit him with the ban hammer though.

While saying "kys" is easily detectable, the system needs to be all Shakespear to understand human metaphors.

Riot will need to create a system that's sentient to understand such a thing.

Although, a report might be worth a shot, but sending a ticket is the best solution since a rioter can see it and investigate it rather than the system.

Same thought exactly.

Would be cool to fight a T800. But I'd probably die. Actually, I'd die for sure.

This one time I was playing with my premade, a Sivir on our team told him to "get a rope". We both reported this however the instant feedback msg didn't pop up :// I'm assuming they didn't even look into it
