Suicide Prevention **Implement Ban System**

kiingslay··3 votes·1,086 views

Riot,

Something has got to give about the toxicity of players.... It is the worst in ranked games specifically (probably because the games mean more than "norms") but I have had 2 people in one day tell me to go kill myself. They are lucky I'm not that kind of person but what if I was....what if I was on my last straw. I had had the worst day and nothing was going my way and I felt like there was nowhere else to turn than my "friends" on LoL and thats the last thing that ended my night and I did it... I killed myself because someone out of the thousand of players made me feel that bad.

I don't know how you could fix this all I'm asking is to brain storm something. Maybe have it so that if you tell someone to kill themselves that their account gets reset to 0 and they have 0 champions and they get banned for 6 months from playing the game. Maybe mail a letter to the home (maybe they are children) and get the word out that this is happening in games and that something needs to be done. Make it so serious that they won't even think to say it because suicide is such a serious thing. If police found out that that's what happened and found out who those players were then they could probably be charged with involuntary manslaughter or cyberbullying I suppose.. I don't know, I'm not by any means a professional of law. As an adult woman that plays this amazing and fun game; **Something has to happen. **

I think the phrases such as kys are on the same level as hate speech. Both of these forms of harassment call for escalated punishments. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm fairly certain kys is on the same level.

Don't worry i got a 14 ban for saying kys to my buddy. I think they already have one.

so did that persuade you to not say it again? or was 14 days not long enough to learn your lesson? A lot of people (kids, adults, teens) play this game because it allows them to escape the World they live in... I know a lot of different people in a lot of different situations. When something like LoL that is fun and if they are passionate enough about it is something they really enjoy then it can really hurt someone. Especially if they are anti-social and the internet is where they feel safe to open up. I know all the hate speech all of you are going to post on this discussion but I'm tired of being bullied and while it doesn't hurt me --- I know how hurt other people have felt over it and have stopped playing the game and that's not fair...

If you are on the level that a "kys" will actually make you do it, turn off chat.

I wish people could do that and not get offended, but the chat is for communication with your team as in strategies or any play.

Well actually if you are on the level that "kys" will actually make you do it, you shouldnt even be on the internet lol

Well saying KYS is a threat (you can see that on my 14 day ban post)and really bad since i got a perms ban, people dont like getting offended and if riot didn't have a ban system for blocking this offensive things people would complain.

Warhammer Titan1 votes

Well yeah just a personal suggestion.

that doesnt even make sense

I'd flip it around. People who tell others to kys in a video game should not be on the internet.

You can't turn off chat at the end of the game... and like someone else said "the chat is for communication with your team" If all they are doing is being toxic and telling me to "kys" then I'm 1, not going to play the game to my full potential. 2, not care if we win or lose whether it's ranked or not and 3, it ruins the game for the whole team BECAUSE of 1&2...

Yeah telling someone to go kys is bad sure, but If losing a league game was the last straw you have different problem. Plus I don't think riot should try to control speech so harshly that if you say it once insta ban or try effect people's real life for what they say in a game.

lol, I feel like getting a perma or a 14 day ban is like a kys from riot since you cant play your favorite game.

I hate to tell you but League of Legends is far from a safe space.. A large percentage of the community is toxic and they cannot just ban em all. Some people turn in to respectable players and some turn in to Tyler1. The best solution I can give you is the one that I use. Maximize the size of your chat window scale... Hit enter and grab the corner of it. Then move it all the way dow to the bottom right corner out of your sight. FOllowing this go bqackk in to options and minimize the size of it. Now disregard chat and use pings. Congrats , Your LoL time should now be far more enjoyable !

I don't consider LoL players my "friends". It takes some time, but as one adult woman to another, you just have to grown thicker skin. Especially as a support or jungle. You learn to /mute all. Pings are plenty communication. Chat is a privilege you can take away from your team mates. I completely get the endgame chat thing. The best you can do is report them and specify that the inappropriate talk was in endgame chat, screenshot, and then ask for a Rioter and show them the screencap. I actually was suicidal for a long time. After getting the help I needed though, I've simply learned the mute whoever is being a shit. There are people in the world who want me alive and talking. If that "team mate" is gonna tell me to kill myself, then I will be vocally dead to them. And never help them again (or try not to). No more ganks, no more heals, no more chat. They better act like you all need each other. You know the saying about "not knowing what you had until its gone" or something like that. Hope he bought health regen/wards.
