Foreign Language Insults

Hello,

From the last board I posted and the boards I've read, I think I got a bit of better understanding about the whole honor/ban system and the toxic behaviors eligible so thank you to whoever contributed to my last board. But it also sparked up a question from a previous experience I had before.

Around a month or two ago, my friends and I ran into a five-men premade enemy team in a normal draft game. They were all Koreans and they were also VERY toxic. After few words back and forth, they figured out that we were Koreans too then they started insulting us whenever they scored a kill. But instead of using the normal English curses/slurs, they used English alphabets to spell out Korean words to sexually harass my friends.

For example, one of them said, "(insert name here)ya, boji bbalara" which is equivalent to "Suck my p###y, (insert name here)." And there were many variations of this that continued on until the end of the game.

[sg-ahri-1] It's disgusting.

I've submitted a ticket discussing about these players and their behavior, asking if their actions were eligible for a punishment and well, Riot having this policy where they cannot share about punishments to other players, they told me that they couldn't share the info but they did tell me that they had filters that were able to catch these non-English slurs.

Now I doubted, because sometimes the filters aren't even to catch some English curses/swears if they were spelled differently. So I figured that these English-Korean insults were going to be even harder to catch.

Do any of you guys know if Riot can actually catch these people and serve the deserved punishments? (because from what I've experienced/witnessed, Riot has 0 tolerance policy when it comes to racial/homophobic slurs and I'm not sure about if they are able to punish these players for sexual harassments)

I don't condone what they did, but...

why didn't your team mute them at first insult if it's so disgusting?

There are Riot supported regions on every continent aside from Africa. Even where there is not a Riot supported region, there are many Riot offices around the world.

The IFS is universal. While the exact logic differs between regions to account for cultural differences, they certainly can use data of confirmed slurs/etc to train other region's. And that is what they do - the IFS supports any language officially supported by Riot, and likely multiple other common languages as well.

Well it caught mine when I said cuck once after being flamed all game and dished out a permaban for it on my second infraction. Ive never had issues with reports on the Chinese server and the report system is stricter than you think. Not like it matters overall. The fact is people get mad when they're insulted, and its really up to you at the end of the day to just mute all, unfortunately. Mute all, dont reply to anything, communicate through pings, and you'll likely have less toxicity issues. If people flame in end of game screen report them, type out what they said and why it upset you. Riot does their best I guess.
