So I guess everyone can just report for anything now a days huh?

"In game 3 you went a bit overboard with calling others noobs and nerds."

Like are you kidding me RIOT you can get reported for saying noob and nerd? like for real thats not even an offensive term. Hey but you know what riot, ill just do what you allow others to do. Ill just report everyone for any single word anyone says. Because apparently thats what you want a whole bunch of reports over nothing.

Good Job.

UPDATE: LOL are you kidding me. Welp ok ill do as you wish Ill report everyone for every single word.

However, to protect the other player's personal information we will not be able to share with you any action taken on their account after this point. I would like to ensure you that we will be investigating and taking any action we feel is necessary, so in the meantime please continue muting and reporting these players as this is the best way you can help us to track their behavior."

It's not that their word/phrase list is extreme -- it's how frequently you use those words and phrases.

If I call you a nerd once, that's one thing. If I spend 30 minutes calling you a nerd over and over and over, that's quite another.

Yes because every single second you're sitting there typing derogatory statements is seconds you're wasting not playing the game, not looking for info on the map, not looking at enemy lanes positions, or generally not focusing. If it doesnt help anyone theres no reason. if these people are as bad as you say, record them being bad and roast them on youtube but don't sit there and bring the game down with repetitive uninteresting bs.

Yeah because typing during a recall, or waiting for gold at the shop, or waiting to come back from dying is impacting my gameplay. I'll include this so you get the gist, EYEROLL x 1000. What you should start doing is applying your bizarre ideology to the world. Unless what you're doing is helping someone there is no reason...does that mean we should all quit playing video games and start volunteering all our time at homeless shelters? Roast them on Youtube, lol. Uninteresting to who, you? There's a mute button for a reason so if I feel like calling someone a nerd for 60 minutes I don't see why you can't click mute.

Hell no this is the community Riot has created and Im getting punished for it?? Like are you kidding me. If they are going to be so sensitive with their reports the should be 100% clear with what you can and can not say.

ZezockaryAug 7, 20171 votes

They are 100% clear on that matter. You cannot say anything negative. If you can't handle that then don't use the chat.

Are you like, daft or something? "Uninstall bitch"

That on top of spamming chat with meanie beanie stuff yeah a chat restriction is necessary because you are abusing your privilege to use the chat.

Like sorry if you think its 'sensitive" but really /youre/ the one having the coniption.

To be fair, I willingly acknowledge I'm a nerd. Nerds are passionate and (generally) intelligent for certain things. I take it to be a compliment. It's how you use the word that matters.

Well yes. This as well. And, conversely, someone screaming "You're a great person" in chat every other second is still being toxic, despite saying a generally positive message.

Ill just report everyone for any single word anyone says. Because apparently thats what you want a whole bunch of reports over nothing.

Here's the thing: the system is set up in such a way that this is entirely okay. Any of your reports that don't meet the community's standards for toxicity will just get thrown out. It can't affect your report weight - because that doesn't even exist any more.

If it is a valid report, you've just helped clean up the community. Easy-peasy.

Apparently stating out facts get people offended meanwhile others are saying to kill yourself smh.

Timethief49Aug 7, 20171 votes

Both gets people offended though. Also saying wow you suck is Not really stating facts. Saying wow you died x Times also doesn't help in any way.

I never say that to anyone I just say they are stubborn to listen/or to stop pointing at others mistakes and look at yourself first in order to climb.

They have it set to social justice warrior. Everything is racist, Nazi, fascist anymore. Players are even worse at the game and tissue paper thin skinned these days.

I miss the old days of league, less trolls least in my games, less withering flowers because words which are now more injury inducing than physical things and not related but part if the equation, less overloaded champions and items like duskblade.

Can't even give advice in a comical manner anymore, smdh.

dbmbroAug 7, 20171 votes

It's a complete joke now. Pretty sure sjw's and millennials (sad to say I'm one....) have completely taken over the company. There's a mute function for chat toxicity which is easily taken care of. But if you have a troll/feeder on your team, you're done for. Doesn't take a brain surgeon, or even a 1-year computer tech support guy, to figure out how to ban based on chat. All their chat looks for is key words and issues restrictions/bans. They don't have a clue how to filter out feeders or trolls.

That is exactly what I've been doing and I've been getting a lot more messages saying people have been punished. I guess I'm apart of the gestapo now, feels good man.

lol you wait for gold in the shop

SavageConcordiaAug 7, 20171 votes

Post your logs, any time people post crap like this it's their way of hiding how toxic they really were.

TheBurningAshesAug 7, 20171 votes

Just don't do it. If anything just say it out loud like what most people do. Things like calling Gargas a "FAT MAN" or "saying you wanna build a wall to keep yordles out of summoner's rift. . .especially teemos" are seen more of jokes by most players. Just don't be direct with any name calling.

P.S: I will build a wall to keep the yordles out!! with Anivia. . .

If you want to be salty and spiteful, go ahread and report everyone. Just remember that over time your report will no longer mean anything, and you may face a ban for abusing the system.

Calling someone a noob or nerd once is fine, especially if you are joking, just don't push it. I have a feeling that you indeed went a little overboard with your noob/nerd calling.

Normal if once or moderation(won't get you banned): just survives 2v1 gank by barely escaping through a sick outplay juke on LB: "later nerds" Not normal(the kind of thing that can very quickly get you punished): "F**king nerd loser, so trash get a life nerd".

Normal noob calling: just loses clown fiesta level 1 invade where every single player dies except for their vayne, the sole remaining player out of 10, who SOMEHOW secured a god damn penakill at level 1: "Damn we're all a bunch of noobs lol"

Punishment worthy reaction to that same scenario: "You all are total f**king noobs wow how did that happen you guys are so trash now vayne is going to eat us for breakfast, garbage noobs go uninstall bronzie filth".

You can use noob and nerd without being banned as long as you do so in heavy moderation, and usually jokingly. The word will not get you banned just from saying it jokingly once. It's how you use it and how often.

Also, would you mind posting logs so we can see for ourselves?

Imperial PandaaAug 7, 20171 votes

Your first part, with the report weight. That doesn't exist anymore. Automated system flags every game someone reports. Doesn't matter if someone gives 99 bad reports, if on the 100th it is a legit report, it still gets used.

TractAug 8, 20171 votes

I can find like 20 times where a Rioter referenced that it DOES exist within the past month.

Baka RedAug 10, 20171 votes

Would you be kind and show us one of those twenty cases for future reference? Thank you.

I haven't seen that kind of claim and I tend to read these boards a lot. Instead, I have seen this: Tantram

TractAug 11, 20171 votes

While I could dig through all of them, I don't think I need to; and this is why. On the Riot support website, updated very recently (late July, much more recent than that Tamtram post):

"WILL MY ACCOUNT GET PUNISHED FOR BEING REPORTED WHEN I DID NOTHING WRONG? This is unlikely, as reports are only one piece of the puzzle. While they are important to bringing games to our attention the system still gauges the behavior in game before punishments are issued. Also, players who consistently make false reports against others diminishes the value of that player's report and renders them meaningless."

Your move.

Baka RedAug 11, 20171 votes

Thank you for the answer. It seems that either the Rioter who wrote that is unaware that report weight does not exists, or that things have changed since Tantram wrote the thing I linked. It seems that we need to get clarification about that matter from a Rioter, so I guess I will attempt to get one. Here. Of course I won't hold my breath while we wait for Riot's response, but we might get one, maybe.
