First off I posted this already but accidentally deleted because was trying to edit post but accidentally deleted. So i apologize!

I played a game of solo queue and was the support of a user <Removed>. In game we did not have a good laning phase and we argued with each other entire game on what we thought was wrong, but at no time did either of us verbally attack each other so I did not feel there was a reason to report and we also won the game, after i left lobby I got a friend request from this user who then told me to "End Yourself" and then sent me a physical threat stating my location, but no time in game or out of it did i state where I was. Here is a picture of what was said <Removed> and here is a picture of the game <Removed>

After comments in previous post I realize he could google my username and find things that trace to my full name and city, but it still doesn't make it okay.

As multiple people already told you, just google your summoner name and you find your location (eg. on Twitter).

Hey,

Your thread is fine as asking how to deal with things like this is allowed on the Boards. However, naming and shaming another poster, even a toxic one, is not permitted. We players cannot do anything about it so posting the name of the player only serves the purpose of inciting a witch hunt against him. Since Name and Shame is a violation of the Universal Rules, I've gone ahead and edited out the name and images.

Regarding the subject, I'm sorry that someone did that to you and it is always unnerving to have someone say things like that and appear to know your location. I would report this incident and player to Riot via a report ticket and be sure to include those images of the toxicity in with your report. If you are concerned that this threat is real and that the user does know your location, I would report it to your local authorities.

If anyone has questions about this edit, please come to the Moderation Discord or create a discussion on Discuss the Boards.

Thanks
