Why is diablo blocked by chat filter but not devil, Satan, or Lucifer?

They even made a skin called Little Devil Teemo. Who actually finds "diablo" to be offensive but not the other 3? I discovered that it is blocked when I was trying to talk about the game, Diablo 3.

Diablo can be used in a somewhat vulgar manner in Spanish. It's sorta like saying 'hell' if you drop it somewhere by itself.

Satan is actually blocked too.

Fun fact: Dio is also banned for some reason

Easy.

The first one is a reference to a demonic king of hell. The other 3 are alternative titles for Teemo.

Lucifer means Angel of light. The other 2, Satan is blocked, they probably block specific names of evil gods. But Lucifer is still ok... appatently.

The last three are synonyms with Teemo ; can't block champ names ofc.

You can't even say "idiot." I was trying to say that I had an idiot Kayn build but it censored it.

The build isn't that idiotic though.

Good question*[slayer-jinx-wink]*

Because DIABLO is a publicity stun of a game.

The chat filter is totaly bugged, it blocks some series of meaningless numbers as well.

Because Spanish is master language.

It might be used as an insult in spanish or italian speaking countries? not sure. Alternatively, it could be that it is muted from a previous Riot rule of censorship on religious matters that has since changed, but the filter wasn't updated

Satan is blocked by the chat filter I always get bleeped when I refer to teemo's true name.
