I was recently harassed by a person who I don't want to name because I don't want to be that guy who names and shames them, but I felt very hurt by what everyone said. I was harassed by a player who was playing Janna and called me words like Bitch, Pussy, etc. I also was flamed by about everyone on the team. Janna also mentioned that I was a kid and that I obviously get bullied at school (and yes I do get bullied because of either the way I look or the way I present myself). I don't feel safe knowing that players like this are in league of legends. Its hard enough to deal with this stress in real life, but know in game. I don't even know if I can play this game anymore. I'm not saying that everyone in the game deserves a punishment, but at least it will make me feel a bit more secure about playing League of Legends if at least the Janna got a punishment for harassing me. janna's ign: <removed by moderation>

... You said you didn't want to break the name and shame rule, and then go break the name and shame rule. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Mute in game. Report post game. Move on.

I edited out the name of from your discussion, per the naming and shaming rule (that you're aware of).

If you reported them in the post game, that should suffice for having their behavior looked into. You can also submit a support ticket.

If you have any questions about this moderation, feel free to reach out to us in the Boards Discord.

Wait what? You just said you did not want to name the player, but you ended up naming the player? [zombie-brand-mindblown]

While I understand how bullying affects people, I was bullied in school myself, you unfortunately can't play online games with other people expecting to not get people that will be rude for no reason. It's unfortunately just how it is.

All you can do is mute, report, and move on.

I suggest taking a short break after getting people like that. It gives you a chance to calm down, and makes it less likely to get those people again.

What did force you to care about them? What did force you to not mute them? You literally had 0 reason to take them serious and feel bad about what they said. If you are this easily hurt by a stranger's words, why don't you mute them at start or at least when they said the first thing you do not like. You have all the power to stop these people, yet you chose to listen to them and get upset.

I don't feel safe knowing that players like this are in league of legends.

Did the scientist invent something, so you can slap somebody through the internet? If not, why don't you feel safe? Nobody can hurt you through the internet....

I don't even know if I can play this game anymore.

If you don't enjoy it, you don't have to play it. Go try out other similar games, HoTS, Dota2, Smite there are plenty of good games out there. Also, you can start the game with /mute all if you really cant take a stranger's words.

I guess you came to the Boards hoping to get catered, but it's YOUR OWN mentality what made you hurt yourself. Learn to not give a fck about other people if you are not forced to.
