Riot Employees letting friends verbally abuse?

I just played a game where the opposing team had a riot employee on it, and when I asked him a question (admittedly I had a snarky, sarcastic tone), his friend called me a bitch and then just decided to keep verbally abusing me. The Riot employee THEN proceeded to tell me to watch my language instead, when I never even used any offensive language. I told him I hoped he'd tell his friend to watch his verbal abuse, but he completely ignored me.

So verbal abuse is okay with Riot when an employee allows friends to do it? Is this really how this game is now?

I mean, it's not like Riot Employees are saints or anything, they can act wrongly too you know.

Just treat him like a normal person: Is he a dick? Report him, Is he not a dick? Don't. Simple eh?

Did you report him?

1: submit a ticket 2: attach screenshot (the ones that you DID take right? RIGHT? RIGHT? 3: ?? 4: profit.

really this is the first thing you should have done, and hopefully you did because if it really is a riot employee then it really should be brought to the company itself first to verify this because even if this isn't enough to have any serious disciplinary action taken against them, then it will at least be something to make note of on their record and could possibly be something for the company to consider looking into as far as all their employees go.

Also, Riot is a company composed of many employees and individuals. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few in there that are not as great as the rest of them. Every company has a few of these and hopefully they won't let a few bad apples ruin their reputation.

Hopefully though if it indeed was a riot employee then they did tell their friend to be quiet and if indeed the friend did not shush after being told so then they had disciplinary action taken on their account.

This is a very inappropriate thing to be posting on the forums.

Snapshot it and send it to Riot in a support ticket.

Just goes to show you that the people who blow smoke up your ass about how positive and nice you are supposed to be in games are actually assholes themselves with asshole friends. He should be fucking fired. If a regular person can get their account banned that they spent untold amounts of money on, he should fucking be fired. This is exactly why no one respects the summoners code. RIOT IS SELECTIVE ABOUT WHO IT PUNISHES. If I don't fucking flame people nonstop for 10 games, I can pretty much say anything I want to someone in a game and if you dont' screenshot it and send it to support, nothing is going to happen. I can get irritated in a game and just afk. And if I haven't afked in about 20 games guess what.....It wont mean shit. People troll their accounts from plat all the way to bronze by intent feeding etc, and have to make forum posts about it to get banned. And now the icing on the cake....actual people from RIot, engaged in fuckery. It's like a cop pulling one of his buddies over for a DUI and then letting him go. Or like a cop riding shotgun with one of his buddies while they drive drunk. Not okay.

I also love how everyone just automatically assumes you are lying as if no one from Riot would ever show any favoritism towards a friend or relative who was being a dick in game with them. To them....Riot and all their affiliates are the symbol of perfection. I know South Koreans are fond of this game, but it feels like NORTH Korea more often than not.
