  1. Riot Games is only against small-streamer/no-name player toxicity. You can afk/verbally flame someone in chat instead of trying to win the game... as long as you're big enough. Or NightBlue3 for that matter.
  2. There is definitely corruption within the company, as if the numerous walk-outs and allegations of sexist conduct weren't enough, now even behavior specialists are guilty of favoritism and lack of accountability as the Rioter who inflicted the ban for a false offense has yet to be suspended/terminated. Also no word from Riot as of yet.

Stop financially supporting this company. Stop buying RP/merch/licensed products until they fix this. It's bad enough the state of the game is pretty shitty. Even worse how they treat you if you aren't in their elite circles.

  1. If you have actual video evidence (multiple cases as one game doesn't guarantee punishment) of someone reporting a streamer after a game please share. People seem to forget that no report means no review.

  2. Here is a Rioter commenting on the case involving the ban on the Teemo.

If you are afraif of links here:

Gonna piggy back off this comment to address a few things!

Riot will not ban a player for off meta-play; full stop. If you're curious on our thoughts about off meta play you can hear it straight from Meddler here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMAAfm095tg

This player in particular popped up on our radar a few weeks ago and we decided to not take action at that time because playing Teemo in this method is not against our rules.

However, after reviewing the continued reports we were receiving (from multiple sources) a pattern was forming where this targeted off meta behavior was occurring most often in games when the player was with a high profile streamer. If you want to play off meta, we think that's great! If you want to play off meta only to spite other players and reap the negative reactions and attention from their viewers while they are streaming then we don’t consider that a good faith use of off meta play.

Reporting players for trolling is not something only streamers have the power to do. I always encourage people to report through the client (obviously). But if you encounter a player that you think is behaving in a way to get around our systems then anyone can send us a ticket directly and we will investigate that situation. We won't take action if we can't determine a pattern of trolling or if we believe the player is making a good faith effort with their off meta play. But if we do see someone is consistently using off meta play as an excuse to troll people then we will intervene when we can.

Riot is just toxic from to top imo. Nothing's gonna change for players if they don't first treat their employees like human beings.

It's almost like a popular streamer getting attention to something is going to make people talk about it...which brings it to riot's attention faster. That's literally just how the Internet works.
