Really?

This is ridiculous, I have just been "permanently suspended" by Riot games. Why? Because I got really salty a number of times. Why? Because my team (in my opinion) were playing like idiots, or just didn't care, fed, trolled ETC. Does Riot care? No. Because to them, they see someone hitting that report button to call for mommy and they just slap us on the ass because they don't want to deal with it. They want to just allow people to get away with a gold star and trophies because of their effort, they don't care about making this a legit hardcore game; unless it makes them money. League of Legends has something pretty great built into it, it's called a "mute button" that EVERYONE can use. But instead of using that mute button people argue with you, or they yell back or just cry because A) they don't know about it, or B) they would rather report you and just let you get banned. This is pathetic, childish and ridiculous. Instead of allowing other players the power of removing someones League profile from the game and actually ruining their time, effort and the money that they have spent on that account GET RID OF THE REPORTING SYSTEM. If anyone is reading this and has ever had a problem with someone in game MUTE them it's fast easy and effective. What is your reporting going to do? It's not going to change anything when you're already in the game, it's not gonna change your win/loss ratio, and it's surely not going to change the their attitude. Get over it, mute them and get on with your day.

[slayer-pantheon-popcorn] thanks for the salt dude. Needed it for my popcorn. Bye (waves)

If someone is forced to mute you, you've already caused damage. Reporting isn't to protect them, it's to prevent you from causing problems for other people in the future. Share your reform card?

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

But the thing is that reporting doesn't help anyone's situation. Think about how people get when they are already angry and a bit salty and then oh look my chat has been restricted....now I can't even communicate calm and orderly like Riot wants me to, now I only have 5 messages every so often. Please tell me how that helps the people in future games. Another instance is the account suspension, what is that doing? All that is doing is pissing the people off more and more because someone got their feelings hurt in game, you're making them waste time and valuable money because you are choosing to report someone for something that could have been ignored,controlled or just talked about. There is really no reason for a reporting system in this game other than the occasional troll. The ESRB doesn't rate online games purely based upon the context "online" gaming. There are thousands and millions of players across the world from every background and country. ESRB doesn't rate online games because they know it's not right to take these things away from them. Granted these people (including me) need to cool down sometimes but hey, maybe we're having a bad day and the team isn't helping. Honesty is the best policy right? So let's take that into account in the video game. If you don't like what they say, don't argue back and don't report just mute and move on man. Mute and move on.

why dont chu just not talk to them, use the mute button yourself, and do what you just said to do instead of getting banned? x'D

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Well that won't change the in game things going on. And trust me I have tried that, I have even just said almost nothing at all. I have gotten reported for saying " Dude can you please stop fucking running in 1v4 and dying man". Do you really think that's reportable? People take advatange of the system and it's ridiculous..

Illiad2 votes

You need to learn that some people just dont care, so you have to just not care about them, and wait til the next lobby, trolls arent forever, just cross another bridge my friend.

It helps the people in your future games that have to deal with your behavior.

Think about how people get when they are already angry and a bit salty and then oh look my chat has been restricted....now I can't even communicate calm and orderly like Riot wants me to, now I only have 5 messages every so often.

How exactly was your behavior calm and orderly if it got you restricted? This is why I asked for your reform card. I seriously doubt it was anything of the sort. You can't abuse chat then get upset you lose the ability to use it in the manner it was intended for.

ESRB doesn't rate online games because they know it's not right to take these things away from them.

I don't think you understand what the rating is for. No rating does not mean there are no rules. I suggest reading over the Terms of Use and the Summoner's Code; you have agreed to these conditions many, many times. They are not unreasonable.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes
  1. No, all reporting does is taking away the things that, that player has worked towards. How does rage in chat affect people on that scale? Raging in chat accomplishes nothing, but it also doesn't really affect anything else, wanna know why? Because even when you mute someone they can still ping and communicate on the map, so why report someone? Why go to the level of reporting someone because what they typed in game. Did what they say really offend you that much, did it really hurt your feelings that bad? I really don't understand what it is about this community that has such a hard on about in game chat, this generation is so hypersensitive it's ridiculous. Grow a back bone.

  2. My point is that, if im getting reported and Riot limits my chat....how is that helping ANYONE, I am now restricted in my chat so I can no longer communicate as effectively or even sometimes at all if you use all your chat. IF they want you to improve your behavior that's not a way to do it. In fact I don't think Riot should be trying to have the power of changing peoples "attitudes". It's their attitude, their personality, they have no right in changing it.

  3. No, you're missing MY point. My point is that the ESRB does not rate online video games because they KNOW that everyone is gonna be cursing, saying dumb shit or just pissing you off. They do not make a rating and most games do not care about 'reporting' their online community because they already know it solves nothing.

Now to end this, have you ever actually tried muting someone or talking to them about the way they're acting? That's the way it should be handled we are all (mostly) adults even if sometimes we don't act like it. Everyone keeps saying "well try and calm down, dont be toxic just work it out". How about everyone takes their own advice on a different accord. How about you talk to the people raging, talk to the people trolling and try to work something out, if that doesn't work mute them. Not everything has to be reported because your feelings are hurt.

Deep Terror Nami5 votes

Sorry you feel this way. This is why you are no longer welcome in this community. If you ever have a change of heart, you are free to create a new account and try again. Good luck.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

I am no longer welcome because I voice my opinion? Because I feel like you gotta let some steam out or maybe say something that you have been holding back? If im getting taken out and not "welcome" because of what I type that is ridiculous and this community needs to start looking at themselves as a whole. It's completely baffling how many people think that it's justified because they don't want to deal with it any other way. Your feelings get hurt, hit the report button; are your teammates feeding? Hit that report buttton! How can you justify that, please tell me.

McAnnex2 votes

I think the thing you are missing is that reports only matter if they are legitimate. Riot actually reviews your logs to see if the reports are justified. In your case, they were and you were punished. Take your own advice and just deal with it. Man up, acknowledge that you are unable or unwilling to keep your composure during a video game and are creating a negative experience for others. You break the rules, you get punished... it's simple.

EvilDustMan6 votes

I KNEW I RECOGNIZED YOU. You were that asshole Shen I had to play with and that I got punished. And you got banned. Oh sweet jimney Christmas. Let me sit here and soak in the feeling.

Match link?

It was 4 months ago, I did a cursory look but I'm not going to dig through every match.

EvilDustMan5 votes

You had three warnings. You made the conscious decision not to stop when you were told you would be banned for it.

Korillo4 votes

Hi, your suspension has nothing to do with anyone but yourself. Your suspension is based entirely on your in game behaviour, and your behaviour alone. Obviously you did not get this message with your multiple warnings, so I guess they permanently suspended you. If you cannot understand that you are the issue here, then this game was likely never for you to begin with.

{quoted}

What is your reporting going to do?

It gets players like yourself removed from the game.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Hi, it actually has to do with everyone that click the 'report player' button. They are saying that this player is ruining this game for me, that this player is going to ruin the game for everyone else. How do they know that? How do they know that this might just be a bad day, or maybe they just act like this because that's how they are. You are playing with how many people on LoL? Do you honestly think that everyone is going to act the same and compliant just because Riot tells them to? If anything most people just hide their anger because they are scared of momma Riot coming down with the report system. There's a mute button in the game for a REASON and people need to stop running to the report button before trying to A) talk to the player raging, trolling ETC, or B) MUTE THEM.

If they are reporting you, it is because of your behaviour and yours alone. A player reporting you cannot get you suspended, only your behaviour gets you suspended. If someone reports you, it simply notifies riots system that the reported player may be a problem.

False reports have no impact, so if you were suspended it's because YOU were not adhering to the summoner's code. So putting the blame on other people is a complete cop-out and until you realize that you are the problem here you will never improve.

Here are a list of things that do not excuse toxic behaviour:

  • Having a bad day
  • Having bad teammates
  • Responding to other player's toxicity
  • Literally nothing. Nothing excuses toxic behaviour. It is never the correct answer, it is never the correct response, and it is never excusable.

The mute button is there so people do not have to be forced to continue listening to toxic players. The report button is there to let Riot know that these players should be removed from the game. It appears they made the correct decision when they permanently suspended your account, as you clearly do not get the message that Riot and fellow LoL players have been trying to send you.

"Because to them, they see someone hitting that report button to call for mommy"

As soon as you posted this u lost all credibility. U are just upset that others are handling situation properly while u are incapable of doing so. If someone is toxic in any way, only proper solution is to report him after game. Its not childish, its mature. Just because u got salty, doesnt mean u need to be douche to other people. Mute is just so specific person wouldnt be annoyed by you. Report and getting you banned spares entire community of dealing with you.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Please explain how I am wrong. Players see something wrong, or hear something they don't like an automatically hit that report button. Please, please tell how that is doing something "properly". Man I really can't wait till some point in this community a change is made because this entire thread is proving my point. Everyone is so whiny, trying to justify their own words and reasoning. It's like every time I see a post or see a message it's like having a little sibling running to your parents because they want you to get in trouble. I don't know if you have had siblings but they will cry for nothing just to get you in trouble, and none of you are any different. If you are, please explain I would love to hear it.

Illiad2 votes

Instead of questioning everything, try reading it, and understand it for yourself, We are telling you why the bans went through towards you, and you are just complaining more and more, why were you banned and not us? its your mindset, you challenge players with a reasonable response to you and yet you dont seem to understand that you were banned because of your behavior, i know you are upset, but maybe this will wake you up.

Well if report was valid and person got punished, then whatever they thought was wrong, was actually wrong. If someone breaks rules, you report him, its simple. If he didnt break rules he wont get punished, if he did break them in any way, he will get punished. Its not that "everyone is whiny". Everyone just got fed up with all the toxic crap coming from some players. You need to lose that mentality "only kids are snitches". Thats now how it works. This is huge community with rules. Everyone is presented those rules when making account, everyone has to accept them if they want to play. YOU accepted those rules. You accepted that you wont be toxic or negative in any way towards anyone for any reason. This is not your middle school where you prank someone and expect he wont tell of you so he wouldnt be called "kid" or "snitch". Grow up already and accept responsibility for your actions. If you sign a "contract" , you MUST abide by it. Or you will be removed.

Tell me this. You start working for a huge company, good salary, good hours, everything great. You are given contract. Now you notice in contract there is section for conflicts between colleagues. It says "If you for any reason get in conflict,argument, fight" with another colleague you will be disciplined and in some cases fired. If you are being harassed by colleague , you must inform manager/supervisor". Now few weeks after you started, colleague starts insulting you, harassing you, maybe even hits you. What will you do? Will you insult back, fight back and get fired. Or will you do things by the contract, talk to people in charge of that , keep job, and get rid of abusive colleague?

You need to learn how to not care as much as the people you seem to hate, because they dont get banned :) goodbye toxic player, hope to see you after rehab

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Well you see, snide comments like yours are a reportable offense in-game are they not? "See you after rehab"? Ah yes I see your clear and concise judgment and argument is quite valid. Thank you for your 2 cents, it's players with your attitude that get people banned.

Illiad2 votes

you need an attitude adjustment because you just get offended by the littlest thing, instead of listening to what i just said, you got butthurt and instead of changing your behavior, btw you are banned, not me, you are choosing to challenge me, im gonna go play a game of league, wanna join me? oh wait ;)

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

This is what's confusing me with you buddy, you come in here wanting to sit on your throne of being a higher person because you're "not banned" yet you're talking like a narcissistic A-hole and trying to rub things in my face. That is something people get banned for in game and you're just proving my point of this community. People like me and i'm sure there are more, are sick of people taking advantage of the report system. I'm sure if I just pinged too many times you would report me.

Illiad2 votes

im rubbing it in your face because you dont really get that you need an attitude adjustment, so im just laughing at you :P if you actually showed some sort of change in character beyond omg im so butthurt im Banned because i cant handle other players behavior. i would try to help you realize your mistakes (sort of like here :) ) and act as a positive face in the match because its a game, not something to take seriously. like my taunting, just learn. to. get. over. it. :)

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Tetsu you are taking this to a WHOOOOLE new level of douche. There is no mute button on here man, I have to deal with you posting to my thread. But listen, I have already said that I try to talk to people and be a "nice" person and not "toxic" but hey things don't work out and I get salty, but how are things different from that than what you are doing right now? If anything right now you are being an "internet bully" and I could report you for being one. You're taunting me, being sarcastic and why? I have not don't anything towards you and I have not even been agressive towards you im trying to work with you. You are just like the people I play with in League that have reported me. You act like sny little children and tease people and then as soon as someone else does it "IM TELLING MOMMY" Please grow up and just go enjoy your game, thank you :D

Illiad2 votes

you wont adjust your behavior, ive tried, even gave you something you could brush off on or even joke about, but nope, poor little lost soul is taking this so seriously x'D cya around, hope on your new account you dont take things as seriously as you have these posts.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Wait, wait, wait. You just said that you're joking and gave me something I can "brush off" how come you can say that for what you say. You're saying that your teasing and prodding is completely fine, please justify how it's different than me getting reported. You're being a sny little arse in this thread and you think it's justified? Why because YOU said it? Please justify how are you different than me.

Illiad2 votes

well, first is that Im not banned, i can still keep on keeping on like i will after i forget about this post. Second is i dont give people any hassle in game, at all, ever, in fact im rather adaptive and will laugh alongside the jokers where i come from, and i enjoy the game as a whole instead of getting angry at every little thing people say to me, whatever your buffer room is isnt even in the same game as the general community needs to survive. And yeah, since i said it, since you chose to post it and continue to reply to me, im gonna continue giving you reasons that you refuse to comprehend until you either get it through your thick skull, or just stop replying to logic.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Lol you still haven't answered my question, please do :D and actually put some "logic" in there.

u talk too much .. but your post is great for us since we know the reports is working

here's my advice delete the chat button

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Well why can't the people that are upset with me ingame delete theirs? I see no harm in that. If what im doing is really bringing you that much harm just delete it right? Is that what you're saying, just delete the chat or anything for that matter that gives me a hard time. Maybe I should delete the dishes because I dont want to deal with them either. If only life was that easy, and I think that's another thing people need to understand. When people get mad at you in real life, or start shit you can't delete them, that's illegal. Not everyone deserves a trophy and golden star, people need to start realizing that.

Let me know how that mute button works out for you in real life when you treat someone poorly and you either lose your job, get pounded, lose friends.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Listen that's the kind of attitude that plagues this community. It is an online video game correct? I'm not "losing my job" or "getting pounded" and why can't I mute someone in real life? It doesn't exist. But it DOES exist in game where it should be utilized and seen as a better a new way to combat salty sailors, rather than running the Riot police because someone hurt your feelings.

Illiad1 votes

You ran into Riot police because you chose to be toxic, not because anything to do with the mute button, you approached the situation wrong ( literally just guessing you didnt try to help the players just yelled at them, no advice, no positive re-enforcement, just toxicity) and got reported, and it would have been alot of reports because one match where you get maybe like 3 is not ban worthy, constant poor behavior is ban worthy. good day sir.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

No know listen, I try my best to try and alleviate the situations and just be a more laxed player. Sometimes it doesn't work like that. For example the other day we had a Soraka running into the team and 1v3'ing, feeding their team. I tried reasoning with them saying "it's fine let's try again" or "Please stop doing that man" but they either just don't listen or they even rage at me because they "know what they're doing stfu"....Did I report them? No, I just told them that they are playing like an asshole and carried on with my game. IN GAME CHAT should not be a reportable offense. There is a button BUILT IN to stop you from seeing certain players text. If you don't want to hear what they have to say click it.

Illiad1 votes

learn to be above the toxicity, act as a role model, remember its just a game :p people trolling is annoying but it isnt something that should effect you psychologically

Stardew Valley1 votes

You have to understand that you will not always have a good team. There will of course be people who are extremely bad, but that doesn't mean you have to be toxic to them. Don't expect them to mute you, people rarely mute. If you can't be nice just keep your mouth shut and they won't have anything to report about you.

DeathsAdvocate951 votes

Oh of course I understand that, but the people in this thread and the entire League community as a whole has to understand that the mute button is there for a reason and should be used FIRST before other actions are taken. Every single time I get pissed off and turn saucy I calm down for the first couple times and try to work with the team, trust me. I understand there are bad players, new players and pro players I don't care who i'm with. My problem is when those players don't want to listen and then yell at you first. Honestly most of the encounters with people that I rage at is me throwing the first punch, usually the player either gets frustrated with me because they want to do things their way or they don't want to listen which is fine. Again that leads me right back to my prior argument of the 'mute button' if you don't want to hear someone mute them don't report because Riot police will ban them, that's childish and just irresponsible as community gamer.

Stardew Valley2 votes

The best way to avoid trouble is basically not typing anything. If they yell at you first, ignore them or better yet, YOU mute them. Trust me i've always had that one teammate yelling "report this guy and that guy" While everyone else in the team is just quiet. In the end we all end up reporting the guy yelling. Problem with these people is that they think they're right. Just ignore these types of people and you'll be fine. Unless you're one of these people.

Alright I see that nobody wants to see any sort of actual view on things and just want to say that I am a bad person. Everyone gets mad, everyone rages get the fuck over it and mute me or the next guy that yells at you. You say that there is a reason for me to get banned, so why can't you see that maybe there is a reason i'm raging towards you. Im an honest person, im not gonna sit back and let you play like a fucking idiot after i've tried to deal with you like an adult. If you aren't going to be sincere about it and try to fix the reason that im mad then you're a fucking idiot and im gonna call you one. Everyone on this thread is the reason that I and the people that rage in this game do what they do. All of you bicker and whine and probably get yelled at on the daily for the shit you try to pull online. So, before I go I just wanna personally say to all of you "Fuck you" with all of my heart. Grow up and get over it people, people get mad, people say shit and that's what happens every fucking day online. Welcome to the real world kids, everyone has emotions.
