It's actually hilarious how soft League players are

It's borderline incredible that you people who report everyone every game, are able to make it through life being such a fragile person. And as for riot, I cannot begin to comprehend how you can run a video game... ON THE INTERNET.... and ban people for flaming? or even TALKING. I've been banned on multiple occasions for simply saying "Ff". This isn't elementary school.

There's a common conception that anonymity justifies toxicity. I feel this is a flawed viewpoint.

Do you enjoy being verbally harassed by strangers at the supermarket, movie theater, golf course, or what have you? Is that a fun experience for you? Most people would say no. Riot (and other companies like Blizzard, which rolled out new system for Overwatch) are cracking down on this behavior because the fact that it traditionally HAS been accepted in online gaming doesn't mean that it SHOULD be accepted in online gaming. Accepting a standard of abuse is not a good idea for a community: it makes players not feel comfortable with leisure time spent on your product.

The mute button does exist, but it exists as a shield to safeguard against toxic behavior rather than a blinder to enable it. If I have a Riot shield, for example, that's not an invitation to throw stones at me: just a way to prevent injury if you choose to do so. The onus of good behavioral choice is still on you, as is the punishment associates with your actions: I can just ensure I have a way to not be overly harmed by your decisions.

Real strength is found in living up to your values. It takes no effort to be callous or mean. In fact, "that's just the way the world works" is nothing more than a cheap excuse... a fragility, if you will. :)

No, this isn't elementary school, it's real life where people are expected to act like adults and don't have the patience to deal with your bullshit.

Given your summoner name and this post, I imagine that you are, in fact, a pinnacle of the community and have been banned unjustly for fair, non-inflammatory, constructive comments.

I find it interesting you think it's your right to flame and be toxic, if a game is or has an online and multi-player.

I also find it hilarious, that when you know saying certain word, phrase, triggers a report, you continue to say them. Whether you should or shouldn't say them is a moot point.

Instead of adjusting your behavior, you instead insult people who don't agree and think like you.

Kind of sad.

If you're being an ass, I don't want to deal with your shit. If you aren't, I'm not going to bother you. It's that simple.

This has got to be the most coincidental post I have ever seen. And it's given me a good laugh.

"REPORT!!!" as if you're going to get a fucking reward? I can't imagine being a adult/borderline adult, and reporting someone on a video game becuase a dude half way across the world from me said something mean. There's a fucking mute button, use it.
