People Shouldn't Be Allowed to Talk Like This in Pre/Post-Game Chat

http://imgur.com/b1VTg7c It's common knowledge that pre- and post-game chat are not taken into consideration when it comes to player behaviour evaluation, and sometimes you get people who take advantage of that and can get quite nasty in these lobbies. Shouldn't they be punished? It's the same deal as in-game verbal abuse.

It's common knowledge but it's also false, as Lyte himself has pointed out on these boards. (Sorry, don't have the link handy.) So just report and move on.

You can't report in champ select, but you can send a support ticket and I'm pretty sure they can still retrieve it

If that was true, then I would definitely gotten one of those messages stating the player I reported has been banned. Cause I've reported multiple people who said some horrendous crap in champ select that would have triggered the auto check system for sure.

People Shouldn't Be Allowed to Talk Like

People should be 'allowed' to do whatever they want. The consequences that will follow are something else entirely.

This is not 1984, no matter how badly you leftist/feminist types want the "Safe space" argument to work.

Not necessarilly. The "player has been punished" popup only shows to the player who filed the last report prior to the player getting banned. And people typically don't get banned for one game, unless they're _extremely _toxic. So your report was probably valid and counted towards a future punishment, unless they turned things around and started acting decent.

These are old but I have seen Lyte say the same thing in the last couple of months:

Neither of those actually say that the pre and post game chats go into the filters for the automated system. And for good reason. The automated system wasn't around back then. All those posts really mean is that Riot is capable of recording pre and post game chat, not that they actually do anything about it.

honestly they should eliminate chat & reporting from the game all together . other games do this and have better communities because of it riot just likes dishing out punishments and reselling the same shit to people

When I was growing up people had tougher skins. Someone said something like this to you and you shrugged it off. This would not be a problem if the culture changed. Because a PC culture came to the forefront due to "sensitivity issues" literally EVERYTHING became offensive. That is dumb.

However people jump into a game, SPAM 40 times that they are calling "ADC" and then they go MID. Now Riot, you can enforce the summoners code all you want but having dealt out judgement in the tribunal, NO ONE HAS PROOF OF TROLLING / GRIEFING in game. People can report it all they want but the chat logs offer little evidence. Unless Riot starts recording ALL the games and actually seeing the AS Frozen Mallet Varus Mid somehow managing to shoot him self in his face mid, and actually do something about it, maybe Riot needs to chill out on the discipline for language and tell the community to thicken up their skin. Sticks and stones break bones but words actually dont hurt, grow up people.

If you think this is bad go say hello to the other MOBA communities. They are about as Toxic as Toxic can get. Dont kid yourselves LoL is still one of the most respectful MOBA environments you can be in, dont believe me go play a round of HoN, you will feel like you need to shower afterward having to deal with those people. League cleaned up the community about three years ago and it stayed relatively clean but you do get bad apples every so often.

Can you not move on with your life afterward? Do their opinions mean that much to you?

In addition to the tryhards that give that much grief to the player that is not so great at the game...

You will never be Froggen or Doublelift. You never even stood a chance. The fates never considered you for that greatness. So dont kid yourselves thinking that one newbie ruined your PERFECT season. You want to scream and curse someone out that bad even though you are not that good yourself. You are living a lie. Your father was right, you will never amount to anything, so dont give other people grief because you are unhappy with your station in life. And yes I would like fries with that order.
