Got suspension for an name that's offensive "due to historical context". Like wtf, I got no warning. That's so unfair. I would have glady changed it but apparently people are easily offended and rito doesn't care to give warnings.
Aneirin11 votesThe warning was in the ToS you agreed to when you created your account.
xi. Selecting a Summoner name that is falsely indicative of an association with Riot Games, contains personally identifying information, or that is offensive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable.
Chermorg4 votesI will also point out that, generally speaking, players are given a free name change upon login and sent an email explaining their old name was unacceptable.
If a player chooses to choose another offensive name (or the same one), they will likely be banned. Next time don't play with fire if you don't want burned - @OP
TheEvilQueen1354 voteswhy would you even pick that name... i'm glad to see they actually do punish for names though, i've reported a fair number
Silent Gravity3 votesIf this is the new name you chose, then you're courting a permaban for not listening to the warning they gave.
I suggest changing it to something else.
Arammus3 votesfinally riot starts to punish ppl for these names. i do feel like a 14day ban right away for that name is a bit hardcore but yea at least they do shit!
Rouxful1 votesOn a side note what if your name is Hitler..? I am not trying to be funny legit. Like you can not argue my name is " racial slur inserted here " but Hitler was a name prior to the infamous slaughterer.
sweetrules1 votesTo be accurate, Hitler was his last name. Adolf Hitler. I feel bad for anyone whose last name is Hitler though.

This is true but in Trevor Noah's book he claims that kids he knew growing up were named things such as Hitler because their parents saw them as powerful people, and did not realize the full extent of what the people did
Umbral Regent3 votesxi. Selecting a Summoner name that...contains personally identifying information...
Ignoring the infamous man who gave the surname its negative connotation, the ToU warns against creating a Summoner name that contains identifying information like that.

While that may be true, it is not enforced in that regard. If my name was Tom and my ign was Tom atoe and it followed your reasoning then I would also get ban. I believe they mean things such as full name, DOB, and other more personal Identifiers
Umbral Regent1 votesIt's certainly likely that that's the intent, agreed. Though, in my opinion, it never hurts to be more cautious. Even the smallest sliver of information can be enough for people to abuse, as it were.
Rouxful1 votesI do not believe that he should have this name as a joke however! I was just going on a tangent
HolyJellyMate1 votesRules are rules kid. Why would you even choose that name lolol? This is 100% your fault, now enjoy your 2 weeks.
