I just got a 14 day for saying some things. Deserved, yes. Was it worth it, to tell that toxic player off? Yes. Will that toxic player I flamed get punished, no. Is it fair? No. Do I have to deal with it, yep. Could I have responded differently, probably. But toxicity breeds toxicity, and choosing to be toxic through in game actions can tilt good people to the brink of becoming a monster. which is what happenend to me. Being stuck in a game with someone toxic, not being able to leave, the toxic person not surrendering, and then because I open my mouth, because I'm so pissed at the audacity of this asshole to do what he did in game, lead me to break. This is the only fucking game I've played that cares more about what people say, than what they actually do. And Riot has created a culture of people who just report you because of the language instead of wheteher or not you are right or wrong. Even though there is a mute option and a language filter. Why fucking have those things if you are still going to punish people for saying things, because instead of being muted or filtering their messages you chose to listen and be offended just so you could feel like a good person for reporting someone over some words.
My main point is context. Riot doesn't care about context. They see a bad word and are like, that person is the problem, when really it took the actions of another to drive most people to the point where they say something bannable.
I never care what people say cause its just words and they dont know me, but when you commit toxic actions (not words) in game, I will flame the shit out of you. And if you flame me first, you have opened yourself up to being equally flamed.
