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.
ModThe Djinn18 votesThere'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.

This is very well said.
It's not about being soft or whatever. Fact is is you're not suppose to talk a certain way and you definitely wouldn't rage at people in person because of little frustration would you?
Just because you lost your cool and got punished doesn't mean it was because the other person is soft. You got punished for something you knew was agaimst leagues rules. If you raged in a store to the store owner he has the right to kick you out. Is he soft? No, he just doesnt have to deal with your crap amd he definitely doesn't want his other customers to deal with you.
Instead of being worried about how "soft" people are you could grow up because grown ups dpnt rage at other people

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.
RookPusher8 votesYeah, it's not elementary school. Act like a fucking adult.
5 Dollar Holler5 votesGiven 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.
RookPusher2 votesRight? Who names themselves that unless you just found out about the word. When i'm naming myself for a videogame, I never think "this seems to reasonably sum up my favorite part of the game"
Firethorn1 votesLMFAO ahaha you just made my day xD

La Belle Sauvage2 votesI 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.
Weathered2 votesIf 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.
EvilDustMan2 votesYes, let us take you seriously, "Sweaty Clitoris".
noname1123311 votes"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.
ModPeriscope4 votesSome people like to win, which usually involves minimizing distractions. A mute button doesn't excuse your behavior. If your behavior is harming worthwhile communication in game, then yes, you should be punished.
Xidphel1 votesI can't imagine you being anything more than a child with your attitude and name.
La Belle Sauvage5 votesYou can say the same of you as well; I can't imagine being toxic over a video game, you should grow up.
The reward is potentially not being on a 5 man team with someone who shares your shitty attitude.
Primaquarius3 votesThe reward is one less of you in my games, I'll take it
