Post-game Harassment

VagueHyperspace·Apr 3, 2016·2 votes·328 views

Hi all!

I think I'll explain first: I played a game where a player was intentionally feeding. Consequently, it got pretty ugly in chat. After the game, I reported the player. Once I left the lobby, the player who I reported spammed me with friend requests. Every time I declined it, they immediately sent another friend request. As of now, I'm ignoring them, but I feel like this is another form of harassment. I feel really anxious and uncomfortable about the whole situation. Has anyone else had experience with this kind of behavior? Is this something that the tribunal also moderates? Am I making mountains out of molehills?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Get into a game (customs is fine) and type /block [player name]. That should stop the harassment.

Either that or it will begone after he logs out.

Of course, if you are really uncomfortable with it, you can send it screen shots and send it to Riot Support with detailed descriptions on how much of those invites he is sending you.

Hi! I didn't know that I could work with Riot Support for help. If the player keeps it up, then I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you so much for your feedback!

on the same token, if someone on your friend's list / club chat says something rude enough that you want to report that, you can still screen shot it and send it over to Riot support.

but keep in mind that the most effective reporting method is still in the report buttons in the post game chat screen.

You can go to your friend list and at the bottom there is "Block List".

Just add that person's name onto that list!

Block list! Awesome! Thanks for pointing that out. :)

I always say if you are man enough to report and flame, you should be man enough to get that post-game chat rage. A good rule of thumb to live by is don't dish it out if you can't take it. Just because a trash permaban system saves you in this game doesn't mean it's a good idea for actually living your life.

Hi! I agree with you, if you're willing to dish it out, you should be ready for someone to dish it right back at you. I think that this was so strange to me because I didn't participate in the flaming and name calling. At one point, I pointed out that we have the option of muting the player, but that was the extent of my participation. If I had participated, then I don't believe that I would feel so anxious about this...thanks for your feedback!
