Evidence that Riot Games conspires to silence critics and disregards integrity of game

League of Legends isn't perfect, no game is. Death recap doesn't work, hitboxes like Fizz's ult or Xerath's beam are dysfunctional, damage miscalculations exist, you can flash after taking a killing blow, and many more significant glitches. That's just the surface of which bugs exist, and dozens are fixed every patch, but that's not what this post is for.

When you criticize LoL, it leads to you getting chat restricted over and over again until you get banned. Riot Games manufactures their player base to remain in mass-denial of significant gameplay issues.

I love to feed. It's fun seeing people rage and say hilariously childish things all over a video game. And I also understand if you hate me for doing that, you should. BUT! You should pay attention to this, hating me and listening to this point are not mutually exclusive. I've fed for many, MANY games, and never faced a single punishment until I started talking about the game's glitches and bugs in game, criticizing the map design, or exposing the report system. This is the first time I've ever got suspended for any length of time, and it is due to my chat log, not my actual feeding. This is about my 4th chat restriction today alone, and my chat logs for each game are very similar. This has also been my WEAKEST feeding session yet. I only fed about 9 games this time, when previously I've fed for 20 game streaks and faced no penalty whatsoever. So it is solely my chat log that has caused this, not the feeding. And as stated in the screenshots I linked, I've said MUCH worse, depraved, homophobic, xenophobic, antisocial, psychotic, vicious and vitriolic stuff in games before.

"Gay as fuck" is about the worst thing I said in this chat log, and thats allegedly worthy of a 2 week ban..... well all the evidence point to a different reason. Riot typically doesn't care about that kind of language, that is how the majority of their community speaks, and as I mentioned earlier I've said far, far worse for a much longer period. The only thing I did different recently was critique the game. Instead of being banned for breaking Code of Conduct, I was banned for defaming Riot Games by talking shit on the map, champion mechanics, Riot Games itself and for exposing to other players that the report system very obviously isn't used to ban feeders but instead for Riot's financial purposes. I only started getting chat restricted and eventually banned once I started talking about specific examples of why certain champions are broken or glitched, why flash is glitched, critiquing the map, and finally talking about how the report system doesn't work since Riot is greedy and avoids banning accounts to maximize microtransactions.

I don't make this post as a plea for any kind of sympathy or to get my account unbanned, that's not the point at all. I just want to show all you fanboys who think this game is perfectly optimized for competitive play, that major bugs don't exist, that reporting feeders get them banned, or that Riot are some angels concerned with the integrity of their game, you have been mislead. Riot is more concerned with creating endless champions regardless of balance, skins regardless of animation synchronicity, and aesthetic revenue generating bullshit than fixing long standing issues with gameplay. And whats far worse, they engage in unscrupulous business tactics by attempting to shut up anyone who tries spreading that information.

We'll see how long this post lasts.

Gay as fuck

That's exactly what it was. Riot has a zero tolerance policy on hate speech (and calls to self harm but that's not involved in this case). A single instance will get you from nothing to a 14 day ban.

Why should Riot care what we say in a video game? IN A FREE TO PLAY GAME? this shit is soft as fuck. Meanwhile the people who FEED intentionally dont get hit with anything because "hehe bad game xD". This reporting system enables trolls and bad players to stay bad.

Riot cares because they don't want people driven away by a few bad apples. The game being free to play doesn't make a difference in that regard.

Intentional Feeders get 14 day bans the first time they're detected.

The reporting system doesn't enable bad players to stay bad any more than it enables good players to stay good.

I don't know. The whole reporting system needs an overhaul IMO.

I think the key words they ban for should be instant and in game shut down of all voice commands, block it and then serve punishment without the need of a report.

My point exactly, they're more concerned with making money than providing a good gaming experience. There is no reason I shouldn't be perma banned for feeding like I do, yet it hasn't ever come close to that in the years that I've been feeding. They'll keep me around, despite ruining everyone else's experience, because it makes them more money from my potential transactions. I've seen my first penalties ever in the last 2 days, and the only thing that had changed was my growing disgust with the inadequate game function and how much more I was mentioning it.

But that's not hate speech? When in that context was I discriminating against any group of people? The fact that that "gay" in this context is taken as an insult to a group of people and considered hate speech says far more about your own homophobias than mine.

But much more importantly, like I made a huge point of mentioning.... I've used a far more brutal vocabulary and described much more vicious and hateful things than this for years and it has literally never been an issue. Even during the times I was actually feeding. Only when discussion of Riot Games and League of Legends as a video game were added did any kind of repercussions begin to come my way, which is as of 48 hours now since my first ever chat restriction or suspension, the same 48 hours I started harping on how bad LoL is working in its current state.

Nice try.

Unless what you actually meant was "fun as fuck", you are using the word gay in a pejorative sense here. The implication is that it is a bad thing to be gay.

As for the whole "THIS IS A CONSPIRACY, i'm only being punished for speaking truth to power!", I think you need to take a cold shower...

hell, i was chat banned for defending myself against a premade 4 player that continually called my rhymes with bigger and maggot, and to KYS to me. I was banned 10 games chat.

Since then have played nearly 60 games and say nothing but thanks and still no rewards. its bs.

Friendly reminder of the difference between "defending yourself" and counter attacking. Muting is all you need to defend yourself. Raging at them is counter attacking. That's fine if what you want to do is drag yourself down with them. But that's what they want too.

Ya, that I get. But, trolls always win. The stuff they said at me and walk away free. I reported, nothing telling me that my report amounted to anything.

Drugoth2 votes

You won't be notified unless your report was the final straw in getting someone punished.

Dirty Bastard2 votes

ic so they would get more chances after the things said makes me laugh when I told them FU more than once I guess and I get banned, they would like to have me KYS though so completely acceptable and understood.

Notice the piling on of downvotes on very reasonable posts..... this is either Riot's work or their brainwashed fanboys doing their work for them, in denial that these things are true.

I can't read the logs. Too blurry when I try to zoom in on mobile. Probably not much better on desktop. Copy paste them?
