Can someone being purposefully degrading and rude be banned?

SomethinAbnormal··2 votes·1,754 views

I just played this ranked game against on of the worst players ever. He played Jax. After winning late against my losing bot lane he bm'ed for the rest of the game. Taunting people with their winrate and other garbage. He insulted many, not using any wrong words I think, but the way he used them were the worst. Told us to surrender, or that it wasn't worth the fight. I didn't get involved until late in the game where I told him to keep talking. Unfortunately I have trouble addressing since I am coming off of a ban and would not like a perm ban. This means I'm afraid to tell him that he is a scummy player that the community does not need. In the end the worse I said was that he was a "Jerk" and "scum" and if I get banned for that but he doesn't get banned I have lost faith in this community. Anyway, I really think that bming and other such rude behavior needs to be stopped. Riot says that "90% of players know its a competitive environment and that everyone needs to be treated with respect" but if this is the case then we have to stop the rudeness of the community. Anyway time to get off my soapbox. I hope there can be some discussion about this. For now I cri item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070 item 3070

To answer the title: Yes.

In regards to forum rules: please remove the players name as it goes against No Name and Shame.

Involving punishment: if you reported him, his logs will be reviewed. You may not get a notification if he was punished. Punishment could be a chat restriction.

I'm just worried that I will get banned for my actions even though they were accurate. And I'll take the name down

Calling a fat person fat is accurate, doesn't make it right though. In the future, consider muting them and report post game.

The issue is that muting them and reporting just isn't an answer. I have not gotten a notification about a punishment so I can only assume that he has not been punished. If that is the case more people are going to be hurt and attacked by this guy until he does something "toxic" enough to warrant a ban. Choosing to ignore them in game by muting doesn't solve the issue, and reporting apparently doesn't either.

P.S. Not assuming gender just using "he" as a general term

Obviously they are a nuclear attack submarine. How dare you not assume that about their gender. /s

Anyways, back to the matter at hand. Why do you feel it isn't an answer? If it is because of tge lack of notifcation, I'll go ahead and tell you that the notification system for the IFS is bloody horrible. That is something even Riot acknowledges and supposedly has some sort of plan to implement eventually (based off information from Tantrum in response to "Monthly Status/Report Cards").

Now, you have posted on this sub board. You were upset when you did so (I presume), but have you gotten a chance to look around it some more? I know you have been on the boards before, but when we have a goal we may not always explore (except in open world rpgs). There are plenty examples of light toxicity that receive punishment.

Let's look at an example: We both have "toxic" bars (like Tryn's fury or Kled's Courage for Skaarl.) Both of us started at 0. I frequently blame the team or "fight back" when stuff goes sideways. Nothing too extreme, but enough that I get 10 toxicity for my bar every game. You are usually chill, maybe a light bm here and there. Nothing that actively makes your toxicity bar fill. We get in a game together and for whatever reason, you snap. You are just going off on our team like no tomorrow. Enough so at the end when you are reported, you gain 50 toxicity for your bar. Now I strike back and argue with you. Telling you off for being a jerk. Etc... At the end, I get my 10 toxicity again. This time though, I get a punishment with it. I was at 90 toxicity when the gamr started and just hit 100 which gives me a punishment. You were worse though, but I frequently had trouble; even when that was just retaliating.

Any sorts of negativity are against the policy of League of Legends, regardless of any situation. When reported, you'll get flagged. If you do it consistently, you'll get a penalty. There are 4 tiers.

  • 10-game Chat Restriction
  • 25-game Chat Restriction
  • 14-day Ban
  • Permaban

The only time you can trigger a ban by chat is using something against zero-tolerance policy. Racial Slurs or homophobic slurs etc. But if you continue to insult them, regardless if they started it or not, or for whatever reason, you'll get flagged and you'll eventually get penalized to the point you'll eventually get banned.

You're not going to convince someone like that to stop being like that in one game. My favorite remedy - go the opposite direction. "Oh my gosh Jax, you clever fiend, I just love you so much". At first they'll try to turn it back on you to trigger you, but when it doesn't work the chat generally slows down.

Or they get way too into it and slip into your DMs. That's the danger with the move. You win some, you lose some.

I just pull a Kakeshi and go "Sorry, did you say something?"
