I'll never understand our community

Why is it telling someone we can't tower dive with no minions at level 2-3 makes no sense toxic? That and because I wouldn't FF a player in my last match asked the other team to report me for being toxic/negative simply due to pointing out the obvious in a polite manner. I will never understand the players in our community as I rank up this lower account.

Where's the all mute all the time box?

Whether or not that statement would be toxic entirely depends on the manner in which you tell someone. You also don't need to worry about false reports, because if you didn't say anything worth punishing you will never be punished.

If you did receive a punishment you are curious about, I I would invite you to post your chat logs, so that I can help you figure out how to avoid additional punishments in the future.

Are you allowed to respond to this Djinn? Or did I put you on shaky ground as a moderator? jw. I don't want to jeopardize your position on the forums because of this discussion

Edit: Serious question. I'm not trying to taunt anyone

“At no point did I say chat should be removed” - I never said YOU did lol

Ok, I did answer your point, although now that I’m re reading my wording may not have been the best. (I apologize)

So I’ll just re-word my point we can go from there.

You can’t say “that phrase is offensive” and have it be universally accepted as true. So any rule about “don’t say that it hurts X persons feelings” will be subjective. So when Riot makes a generic rule of don’t offend people in chat with a few specific examples (racism, sexism) there will inherently be gray areas of application. I’m saying that’s bad, or at the very least illogical on Riot’s end. They don’t even universally apply this rule to all servers, so how is it logical to apply “chat rules” when players already had agency to answer it? You’ll never make a universal can/can’t say standard (slippery ain’t it? XD) so either remove chat or make mute the answer.

Man, y'all gave me a lot to read. I'll check it out when I get into bed and reply accordingly. Hopefully it's all productive debating.

Here's a good one for everyone trying to debate in a civil manner. When speaking directly with a support rep I was more or less instructed to only reply in a manner that would speak on the positive things someone did only. Trying to help them grow, as a player, with non-toxic grammar is frowned upon.

What? I'm sorry but what kind of soft/sad people have we become today? It's like the whole give everyone a participation medal thing but in chat I guess. I've always been a person that wants to bestow knowledge onto others in a positive light. When someone makes a poor play, then flames I try to explain where everything went wrong but always add that it's ok because we are supposed to learn non-stop to better ourselves.

I think my biggest issue is with the community controlled system. That in itself is beyond flawed. Context can't be decided by something that doesn't feel, like artificial intelligence. More so, people can take things as they want and it's not the intent of the person conveying their message. Especially if no foul language is used at all. To me, that's where the line should be drawn. If you're acting a fool and are corrected in a positive manner, then it should be just fine. However, if one is using hurtful language like calling someone an idiot I can understand it not being tolerated.

It just seems our 'filter' is intentionally overly sensitive. I'm not for bashing folks but I'm also not for coddling those who don't deserve it either.

Your post is toxic everything can be taken as toxic deal with it stop bitchin, maybe it's your overdramatic actions such as taking this much time writing a whole post on one toxic game like move on kid I myself am super toxic and I can tell you that if you ignored me or didn't take it so personally I would find no joy in it and stop being toxic.

Perhaps the RIOT wants to ban accounts.. in hopes people will recreate accounts and purchase more content. Seems far fetched, but i can't think of a single reason why they will not allow you to play the game without text communication if that is your preference (as a default) rather than opt-out once the team has talked shit to you. Feels.. like.. bait..
