Fact: There isn't a single thing you can say in game that is worse than Inting/AFKing/Trolling.

You can't hit a button to stop someone from quitting the game. You can't hit a button to stop someone from running it down. You can't hit a button to stop someone from saying "Nah, I don't want to win" and AFK farming until you lose because he had a bad day is a rotten sociopath who likes to feel like he has power.

It doesn't matter how vile, twisted, or bigoted your chat is, it isn't even 1% as bad as intentionally losing the game. Get off your high horse.

If you decide you don't like your team because they're flaming, so you AFK farm until your team loses an otherwise winnable game, you deserve to be permabanned for first offense.

There should be absolutely no second chances for trolling, no exceptions.

While your overall premise is fine, this is not.

At the end of the day, this is just a video game. If someone trolls you, you lose a match in a video game. Yeah, it sucks, but trust me, there are things people can put in chat that are way worse than just losing a video game. People threatening graphic violence onto your family for example(i've had this happen to me before). People saying they will murder you and actually sending a pizza to your house to let you know they have your address(also happened to me when gaming before).

While i understand your point, someone who is negative or verbally abusive imo is a far worse experience than someone just throwing the game. And lets be real here, someone intentionally throwing is probably being negative or abusive as well. These usually arent mutually exclusive.

Lol i agree with you, but its obviously a subjective opinion, not a fact. It may be your own personal truth, but its not a universal truth.

The mute button =/= a get out of jail free card and is meant to be a band-aid solution at most. Not only that but the time one spends flaming others (and the mute button doesn't prevent them from typing btw) is the time they're not spending playing the game itself. Trolling is already punished more severely than regular chat related offenses (hate speech, death wishes and the like aside) but is harder to detect and prove intent for than chat related offenses are. Yes we all wish that gameplay offenses were punished more frequently but since Riot wants to avoid false positives as much as possible this is unfortunately what we have to work with.

You can disagree but if a person is only interested in harassing others in chat rather than playing the game then multiplayer online games are not for them.

P.S. Before you say it Riot already tried perma-mutes in the past in the form of infinitely scaling chat restrictions and it just caused an increase in gameplay related offenses since people who couldn't grief via chat did so via gameplay instead. Both are problems and both deserve punishments, which includes permabans if the offender won't stop ruining the experience of others despite multiple chances given.

Whereas I don't disagree about the premise. It doesn't justify your actions regardless and this is quite the childish argument.

True since the player has the power to mute. Player doesn't have the power to make someone stop inting

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words leave deep emotional scars that require years of therapy to overcome.

Did I get the saying right?

Marshbouy7/14/2019, 1:11:20 AM1 votes

This but unironically.

I'd rather have someone spamming the N-word in chat than an int feeder any day of the week, but both should be punished.

But it's pretty clear that OP is one of those "hate speech doesn't exist" types, so uh, oof.

Relativity is no excuse for degenerates to be degenerates.

People who constantly flame and trash the game chat are spending more time chatting than playing the game. What's the difference between afk-flaming people, and actual afk?

Relative.
