My summoner name is(was?) "Grape". I log in today to play a bit on my day off and before anything else I am being forced to change it. I understand the system may have auto-flagged it (for what I can assume is an offensive containing word- to some) but come on. This is a name I have had for years, known by friends and recognized by rivals alike. Never had an issue with anyone for my name- its a fruit.. something so simple, pure and innocent this is silly really, you would have to scrabble my name to get it to mean anything more. I hope it wasn't reported by someone who somehow took it the wrong way, or just to spite me. As far as reactions I get nothing but people laughing or complimenting me about it if they even notice- I cannot recall a single instance where my username has generated any type of negativity rito.. can a Grape live?

I’d submit a support ticket, that one should be obviously okay.

I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with Riot when reviewing usernames

Be sure to write a ticket, I think it may be a mistake.

Their system might be going a bit too far now, as it obviously has "rape" in it kind of like the word "grass" cannot be used in game as a name because it has the word "ass" in it. Definitely might want to try a ticket and fight for that :)

Just following the example of the "Icecoon" name: If you take away G from your name, it becomes "rape" which is not nice.

So please stop trying to make elaborate lies about your name, we all know it's G-Rape, whatever it wants to be, and it's clearly offensive towards, uhm, somebody...

Just take the name change and move on, it's pointless to argue with SJW bullshit...

PS.: Of course you can try a support ticket, but there are mostly bots working....

am btw.. i will be the one to point that this ban might have a logical reason behind it.. and i think op is quite aware of it..

specifically, grape is used in some other context, besides the fruit.. kai.

is it lame? yes. are humans lame? yes. does r34 exist? yes.

still..

this is on par with the idea that i could have the summoner name "blackcadilac" and be flagged for racism lol

Bring back the grape if that was truly his name.

MessyStuff4/17/2019, 3:27:21 AM1 votes

I hate grapes(allergic), but otherwise this name should be ok. It has the word "rape" in it, but seriously, it's a goddamn fruit.

Someone got mad about grape soda apparently.

Remember, grape is no laughing matter.

you should be allowed to keep your name. they had years to catch it and if they didn't then oh well. they can't do it now.

I mean i basically took part of my username from a bunch of fellows who enjoyed raiding, pillaging and ....forced sexual encounters in addition to exploring and trading..,......which in hindsight wasnt the smartest thing the several years younger me came up with.

I am actually kinda amazed it has gone by this long really....

And yet here we are with the system hitting just about anything else :P
