Fighting back against Flamers.

So, I read a post about a guy who got banned for fighting back against a flamer. I dont know the exact nature of that situation, but it still reminds me of Riots policy on it.

Here is my problem with that policy.

If I'm getting harassed by some ignorant manchild, that has the mental awareness of a stump, I'm not just going to sit there and take it. And here is why

The reports wont fucking work. YES I gurantee they won't. Out of all the sacks of shits I've played with that treated people like garbage, or were horrible fucking people, I've got maybe 3 notifications saying some action was taken. Wopty fucking do.

Meanwhile I get temp banned 6 months ago for intentional feeding 1 fucking game out of the literal thousand I played that season. No matter I was one of the first to hit honor 4 because I was so fucking friendly in game.

Back to the point. I should be aloud to tell some stupid ft to fuck off for being a condescending c* ser. I need the group to acknowledge that that little f***t has no control over the team with his negativity. It works 100% of the time. Fight fire with fire.

anyway I take this shit very seriously. No one should be forced to deal with other people bull shit.

If you fight back, with the intention of being an asshole, thats a different story though.

Reports do work. Sadly you only get a notification if your report triggered the punishment. A flaw Tantram even dislikes.

If that is truly the presence of mind they are in, are they worth the time and possible account punishments?

Should just play like the ally team is all Ai; can't be let down if we don't expect anything.

I hate to burst your bubble, but your words are not as cutting and biting as you think, and probably just going to make the guy even more mad and self righteous.

just mute them

and the punishment system CLEARLY works if you're getting punished for inting when you rage and forced to sensor that homophobic slur. If the OP of the other thread was punished, why wouldn't any flamer be? The system scans for words, you won't always get a notification.

That may be a life philosophy you have, but it'll get you in trouble with League.
