Should i have done otherwise...

Note: this is a sensetive topic regarding disrespect towards religion from players ingame, nothing extreme but some people might get offended.

So earlier today I was playing a casual game of league. Our bot Lucian was fed and was destroying everyone. Appearently the enemy Varus (who will go unnamed for obvious reasons) got tilted and said spmething very offensive towards our adc in /all chat. He said "Nik rabak" which in arabic means "Fu*k your God".

Obviously the offence flew right above our adc's head (him not knowing arabic and all) and since i doubt that the report system would pick up what he said i replyed with "Varus ma te7terem nafsak" which means "Varus you better respect yourself" basically telling him that he better watch his tone. Just because he is speaking in a foreign language it doesn't mean that it's ok to say offensive things, and disrespecting religion is no small thing.

Quick note: SInce the arabic keyboard isn't compatible with lol ingame arabs usually type what the words would sound in arabic using the english alphabet (the 7 represents a letter which doesn't exist in the eng. language, it's just used because it looks similar to ح).

Now my intention was to give him like a warning showing him that there are peope here understanding what he's saying and that he should watch his language and be done with it, if he continued with his behaviour i'd report him and that would be it, but to my surprise Varus replied to me in english.

He asked in what i assume is a sarcastic way "are you a triggered muslim?". I honestl didn't plan on replying but him shoing that he's capable of the eng language our adc got curious and asked what the meaning of Varus's offence was which i felt obligated to tell him. The offence was directed towards him after all, not telling him felt wrong. (Btw props to Lucian for keeping his cool and simply replying with "that's not nice", if you happen to read this you have my respect).

Ofc my beleifs have nothing to do with me replying to him, i simply said "no, i'm just a friendly respectful player not appreciating your behaviour"

And just when things seemd to get to a conclusion out of nowhere Varus started saying offensive things like "Jesus is gay", "Religions are evil" further disrespecting not just christians and muslims but every religion there is, it got so annoying that even his teammates typed in /all chat saying that noone cares about his opinion when it came to religion. Everyone simply wanted him to shut up. And when he got threatened with getting reported he simply lagues daying "you think a stupid robot would understand or care lolol"

Ofc i reported him there's no questioning that, but that's not why i'm writing this. After the game was over I couldn't help but feel guilty for translating the offence to or adc. By simply ignoring it all nothing would have happened, yet i felt that by not telling him I'd be the one disrespecting him even further.

There's no humor when it comes to disrespecting others beleifs and ignoring the thing all together fet wrong. And nowing what the report system is capable of doing and i strongly believe that arabic sounding english isn't detectabe there's no doubt why Carus simply laughed at the idea of getting reported (which is an issue by itself but that's beyond the point).

DId I do the right thing? should i have translated the offence, should i have lied to varus or should i have just stayed shut? What would have done differently?

If you have read all the way thrugh i appreciate it alot. I know it's somewhat of a long read but i felt that putting this out there was necessary and didn't want to leave anything out.
