Am I allowed to curse in-game using the chat feature?

So, if I say the f-word, would I get banned for it? Same with the n-word, I am not completely black but I am 64% black according to my mom. Would it be considered as hate speech? I've seen chatlogs with a lot of cuss words so I'm not sure if I am allowed to use it, even so, I've seen people curse a lot and not get banned so I'm quite confuzzled.

Cursing as in stuff like: Fuck, Shit, etc to a degree is fine.

Racial and homophobic slurs are definitely a no go. The community over the years has come to the decision that they are not tolerated.

You are allowed to curse, but you aren't allowed to insult.

"Fucking christ I screwed up badly there" Is allowed. Riot knows games can get heated so they generally don't care about this one.

"Fuck you you idiot you ruined that play" Is not.

People that dislike cursing can turn on the chat filter, insulting is against the rules. Also racial slurs got no place regardless of situation.

You can curse, just don't target somebody and harass them.

You can't use hate speech. Doesn't matter who you yourself are, nobody knows that information and you don't know who you're talking to anyway.

Cursing is good, hate speech and harassment is bad if you don't know the difference best avoid both

If you harass people via cursing then cursing is bad ex: Fuck off you trash ass carry, report this fucker, etc Simply saying: Shit, fuck, damn alone is not an issue

Damn, I fucked that shit up, is entirely fine :D

it's the context that you need to watch.

But beside that, a little bit of pottymouth isn't bad.

Using ANY racial slurs/terms...don't. a BIG F**KING 'DO NOT!' and especially don't target a player using those terms.
