Riots policy on player behavior

Katukissa··1 votes·1,191 views

Does anyone have any clue why Riot is currently having such a tight rope over any "negativity" in-game?

This is what I got from player support; As far as I saw into your account there are still instances of toxicity:

[20:23] Goodbye 13900ip (Pantheon): we have lucian who isnt even trying

[9:32] Goodbye 13900ip (Fizz): i needed it [10:05] Goodbye 13900ip (Fizz): and you died with it. .....

20:02] Goodbye 13900ip (Sion): kassa doesnt know the basics of farm

[28:09] [All] Goodbye 13900ip (Sion): i dont really understand why we dont surr earlier

[31:02] Goodbye 13900ip (Kha'Zix): its impossible to win with zero tanks and zero teamplay

[7:32] Goodbye 13900ip (Pantheon): that was awful

Can somebody tell me why player support is pointing out that im blaming and arguing in teamchat over toneless statements. I really think they are over reaction by a large marging. Those comments are very ambigous comments which is extremely hard to tell are they negative or not, hence it is a text chat. In voice-chat that could be to make accurate prediction by the tone of the voice but hence text chat is lacking that I seriously think Riot has gone too far.

There's a proper way to say anything, is what most people believe. My issue with Riot's handling of Player Behavior is that the rules are so ambigious and open that you won't understand a proper interpretation until after you've been punished. You wouldn't ever think that a statement such as "I think they're trolling" is punishable, but it is.

I think Riot doesn't realize how much collateral damage they are doing to the game. I am muting everyone when the game starts. Even tho this is what same supporter said in the same message; "Muting everyone from the beginning creates an inferior gaming experience as the player can't communicate with his teammates. "

He is true on that but having language policing as high as North Korea does then there is absolutely no other way.

Thing is, selecting "Mute all" isn't something Riot itself suggests--it's a player thing. Riot simply says to mute people who are negative, and DON'T resort to mudslinging. Like my first comment said, there's a nice way to say anything. If you're being nice and they're still being toxic, just leave it alone and mute them. Don't even tell them you are, just do it.

I feel like that chat logs in question are missing other posted statements. It seems as though some other possibly negative comments are being left out.

I have screenshot of Riot's reply and those are only the sentences the player support gave me.

This looks more like an explanation as to why you haven't been rising in honor - not a punishment. Have you been punished, and if so, with what level of punishment?

These logs certainly aren't examples of honorable behavior, and if they are very frequent could certainly result in a punishment. All of these are examples of you berating your team and blaming for a loss - not acceptable uses of in game chat.

I have had 2 weeks bans so next will be permanent ones. I am just wondering hence I have completely stopped flaming and being toxic. I just wanted to ask how I am progressing and why after 7 months I haven't got my honor back :/ I asked support and they informed me that I am pretty far still since they think that I am blaming and arguing when all Im saying is basic statements which do not add negativity to the game or atleast shouldn't with a common sense.

All I think is that Riot has gone from bad to worse on handling their community. If they would want to make impact on toxicity of the league community going North Korea punishment style isn't the way in 21th centuary. (I study business and economics).

Those are all statements that add negativity to the game. Some are solely insulting, some of them are downright rude, and others are harassing your teammates.

I have to disagree because if someone is saying to me with 30 cs at 30mins mark in a ranked game that I don't know how to farm I don't see it as a big issue. Also I focus on getting negative comments about my playstyle rather than positive. Why? Because if you focus on only positive feedback and ignore the negative one you can't get better.
