So I was permabanned for talking shit about riot and other players. However I do see how what I did was so bad they took me out the game. You sell your game as intense competitive action packed multiplayer game riot but the second someone acts competitive you act like this is Pokémon and you cant name your diglett dicklet. I understand a majority of the game base and the company have ever competed in an ACTUAL competitive environment such as sports and even things like chess. In these sports and activities your can say shit about another person!! I am a wrestler and I always look in the other guys eyes and mess with their head or me and a teammate will walk by them talking about a fucking painful ass move I want to try out and guess what. IM NOT KICKED OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT! because it is normal for people who are put in a COMPETETITIVE environment to size each other up and try to assert dominance. so riot or somone explain to me the logic.

P,S I don't care about getting banned probably the best thing that has happened to me the game was turning into shit and now I have a reason to never go back

You can be competitive and not shit-talk other people. If a pro NFL player came out and said "oh yeah, such-and-such is a bad player, I hope their mom gets cancer and dies" you can bet there would be consequences. People aren't as sensitive as you make them out to be, your attitude is just far worse than talking about a painful move you want to try.

Fun facT: In most team sports "talking shit" during a game can get your punished for unsportsmanlike behaviour.

And I mean, seriously, you cite chess? One quick check for tournament chess rules: Players should not distract or annoy their competitor in any way. If you shit talk during a game in a chess tournament, you will not just get punished, you can get straight up disqualified. That's the equivalent of banning you while you are still in-game.

Bro, nothing ruins the game more than a. Feeders, b. Trollers in Ranked games (Let's be honest, if you're hardcore ranked, having fun in normals is a little fun), or c. Flamers, Toxic players, or your "shit-talkers". Talking shit doesn't make you competitive, it makes you an asshole. And the "I understand a majority of the game base and the company have ever competed in an ACTUAL competitive environment such as sports and even things like chess" bit, you actually believe that several grown men and women, who have competed in various school activities since who knows when, had to compete to get into good colleges, and compete with other highly qualified individuals for a job at Riot Games, have never been in an actual competitive environment?

You can't win in wrestling without playing head games and belittling people? What a crutch.

Toxic is, what Riot says is toxic. Nothing more, nothing less. Deal with it or gtfo.

Friendly banter is one thing, but verbal harassment is another. If you got punished for "trash talking" another player then most likely its because your "banter" crossed the line into verbal harassment. Post your entire unedited Reform Card if you want to discuss your ban.

Bro just stop playing league. It is legit the worst community because of how strict they are on what you say in chat. Talking shit is a normal part of anything competitive. If you allow yourself to become offended by my shit talking (especially when there is a mute button you monkey) GROW. THE. FUCK. UP. The adult world is full of people constantly talking down to you. If yall cant handle when a lil boy talks shit to you through a computer, then enjoy working the line at McDonalds because that's all your pansy ass is going to be able to mentally handle. Go ahead and down vote ya bunch of soft liberals
