Club names need to be monitored

In the past week I've played with players with various offensive club names, ones that include but are not limited to racial slurs, homophobic slurs, and other culturally insensitive material.

Unfortunately, there is no "Inappropriate club name" report button, and as far as I've been led to understand, the monitoring algorithm for reporting does not consider club names at all. Doesn't even look at them.

Riot, you should not be providing a system for people to have a workaround to offensive summoner names. Club names should be monitored and/or reportable.

I'll also append that summoner names like N1gah D1k and other similar summoner names currently seem to pass the constraints for summoner name check, which is pretty ridiculous. I'm a computer science major and I can tell you from personal experience with coding that this is not a hard thing to prevent. Quite elementary, actually.

Honestly though I also see so many club tags that would get you reported if they were in your name

Gbay99, a well known YouTuber got a club name "tits". Not acceptable? Guess he's in trouble.
