I just got 14 day banned again, and feel like im closer to another banned account. I have had 2 accounts banned from this frustrating game.

The level of frustration compared to other games where you can leave to escape the frustration is what makes others so sensitive to trash talk.

I'm going to dive deep into this so strap in.

I used to play StarCraft 2 back in the day, trash talked ALOT, and i mean really bad slurs and things that would not allow me to be a public figure kinda stuff. It was a healthy stress release that made you feel superior to the other play. Now you get used to getting trash talked equally, if you can't take it don't dish it, its a game.

Now these are 2 very different games, you can leave at any time during a SC2 game. Compare that to a league game. If you have a bad game, you cant just leave, you are stuck there with you're allies "?" pinging you, and telling you how crap you are at the game.

In sc2, you can come back, but in league, the games are pretty well predetermined 2-4 players get fed and depending on how good the players are, they can carry. But if you get to the 0-5 point, you can only hope you're allies carry, and if they are flaming you, you seriously question why you are wasting you're time with a stupid electronic game on the internet.

TL;DR SC2 doesnt give stalkhome syndrome and make you grind new accounts for more and pay more RP for rune pages....

If you have a bad game, you cant just leave, you are stuck there with you're allies "?" pinging you, and telling you how crap you are at the game.

You can leave in some scenarios, though.

You're not forced to play any game, it might be breaking the rules but your mental health should always come above all else. If you're_that_ tilted and frustrated with a game and you understand the potential consequences, ultimately it's your decision to walk away and you have the ability to do so. Plenty of games are like this. (Overwatch, Battlefield, SF5, CS:GO, etc.)

IIRC some Rioters have even confirmed that you're allowed to leave in extreme cases (like when your four teammates are legitimately, keyword: legitimately inting and will not forfeit) although I need to re-find that source.

League of Legends is a MOBA, so just by design it has to hold players accountable for leaving games midway through when ~9 other people have committed to it.

(Going to assume this is "f-g" and "fa-got", but correct me if I'm wrong.)

First and foremost, homophobic slurs have no place in League, even if your intent wasn't to offend someone it's still classified as a zero-tolerance phrase.

Secondly, you shouldn't play while you're intoxicated. Not only is it disruptive to your teammates (since a drunk teammate is usually less effective than a sober one) but it also inhibits and impairs your judgment.

No game does that. You are choosing to continue to play and spend money on League.

and yeah the main point of contention is the actually word its become too taboo, kinda like niger(the country) is. but no1 actually says it anymore. Worlds gone too PC man

And i know the argument: "children can see this, its bad." And i say this: no 10 year old today that has access to the internet will be corrupt by anything i say.

You cant save the children.

Excuse me, but no. It has nothing to do with children or political correctness.

It has to do with the fact that this is a video game. For enjoyment. And the enjoyment of 4 others is more important than your enjoyment.

Stop being selfish.

Literally nobody has a problem with the word Niger when used in it's correct context.

Obviously yes, if you try to make a joke or insult surrounding that word, people aren't going to take kindly to it.

And i know the argument: "children can see this, its bad." And i say this: no 10 year old today that has access to the internet will be corrupt by anything i say.

It has nothing to do with "PC" culture or protecting children, most people just don't want to see the word "f-g" used in any context.

Also, as someone with gay friends who have spoken about this same topic intimately: why should we permit the use of that word? It's a word rooted in hate with a very troubled history, people have been ripped away from their homes and murdered for being "f-gs" in addition to still facing discrimination to this day. There's zero reason to use the word other than to offend someone, "gay" (in it's correct context) accomplishes the same thing and is much less aggressive.

There's a difference between "PC culture" and "not being a jerk."

It's a hateful word and takes nearly zero effort to remove it from your vocabulary.

Do not spread that you can leave if they are legitimately inting. I was just banned for 2 weeks because of an inting player. I provided legitimate proof and the moderators removed it due to "name shaming".

1 - I specifically said:

(like when your four teammates are legitimately, keyword: legitimately inting and will not forfeit)

I did not say that you could leave when one player was inting. Huge difference.

2 - I prefaced that statement with "If I recall correctly:" and specifically said "although I still need to re-find that source." Which, admittedly I still haven't done, but my point is that I'm not actively encouraging people to go out and AFK at the drop of a hat.

3 - You were banned because of toxicity, not due to leaving or inting. So the comment about your removal and punishment really has no bearing on my post.

With VIDEO proof of him inting my ban has not been overturned and I highly doubt it will be. Meanwhile the inting player is playing a game right now and his last 3 games were 15 minute games where he had 15+ deaths.

Yes, and it will not be overturned because flaming is not condoned by Riot in any way, shape, or form. They're very transparent about this fact.

You should've also know this already considering you had prior punishments.

..Removed by Moderation..

Moral of the story OP: Don't do that. Be the bigger person.

If you have had 2 perma bans already, and now a 14 day ban again Maybe you should learn how to respect the rules and the other players Homphobic slurs etc have no place in league

If someone is flaming you, mute them and report them when the game ends

And riot isn't forcing you to play the game. Riot actually doesn't want you to play the game anymore, because you are toxic And you don't have to buy rune pages with RP

btw its Stockholm syndrome and yes i agree its infuriating that your forced to play a game that have teammates to ping question marks on you.

Baka Red1 votes

Ping spam can be avoided by using ping mute. Additionally you can use report in the post-game lobby (not that I believe Riot actually punishes people for ping spam, but I report, because they should).

Ah, you posted your chat logs, and it has 2 instances of homophobic slurs. Not acceptable anywhere, in a video game or otherwise. Ban totally deserved.
