Why is the Profanity Filter On even when Disabled?

Seriously, why is this? I thought it was Enabled by Default for a reason. Now whenever i say something using swear words, offensive or not, it gets filtered like **** this. Wth is this, League of Kindergarten? Those who Disable it Disable it for a reason.

Now words like "Fuck" and "Bitch" or "Shit" get instantly filtered. I mean why? I'd understand if N*gger or something like that was but just regular swears? Really? They're not only used for insults you know. "Son of a bitch , fucking fail flashed that bs thick wall." or just "Shit, i wasted my Ult." or "Fucking Ignite" etc etc are not insults. Or did the demographic for League players show mostly 12 - 14 year olds as of recent?

Look, i know it may sound "barbaric" and "primitive" to ask for this "feature" to get removed but a lot of people express themselves better like this. If someone uses it for insults, they get punished by Riot's logic. Also, i don't like people who pretend like they never swear. It's a completely natural thing. Or at least remove the "Profanity Filter" option entirely then as we don't really have a choice at the moment.

It's just bugged, and no they aren't going to disable it entirely as a workaround. I think you'll survive using less aggressive language for a little while.

Try swapping clients (legacy to beta or vice versa) and disabling the filter there, then going back.

You still can "express yourself" it just gets filtered.

And believe it or not, there are people who don't swear and haven't said a single profane word.

Becuase profanity like so many things isn't "natural" like you claim. Nobody's born knowing those words.

Like so many things it's a habit. A learned behavior that some people simply find nothing wrong with. Doesn't make it natural or necessary for proper expression.

I had this problem as well, log into one of the clients, enable then disable it, then log into the other, enable then disable it, fixed it for me, maybe you just have to enable/disable it on the new client and the legacy one doesn't do shit.

And on the topic of the language feature, it's funny how this game even has one, then Riot goes ahead and makes these splash arts: http://lolwp.com/wp-content/uploads/Kitty-Kat-Katarina-Updated.jpg http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Janna_0.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pm0eilOIjl8/ULWnMLQu1FI/AAAAAAAAKjc/n9RyQ2cilh0/s1600/Leblanc_Splash_0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5mUq9Zd.jpg http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Evelynn_0.jpg http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Akali_0.jpg

AND THEN ELEMENTALIST LUX JUST SAYS DAMMIT: https://youtu.be/qtTkEcJRsbM?t=23

Really, even 12 year old kids are synonymous with the words: "I fucked your mom", IDK who's not perfectly fine with "bad words" in game.
