Question on slurs and such stuff

Lunar Balance··1 votes·334 views

So today I was playing a game of Kassadin and I accidentally killed my Ezreal jg's blue buff and he called me the n word, although with a period between them. I know this seems like a stupid question, but would that period help him avoid the system?

That really depends on how the system was built. You can use something that just looks for the letters next to each other like some companies use, but in that case you end up with situations where you can't type words that are in the game due to chat filters (like Kassadin being blocked because it contains "ass").

Riot isn't normally very keen on showing us how their systems work, if only because they know us too well and don't want us finding every loophole, but the answer to your question is really that it depends.

Well assuming they use a machine learning model to classify slurs, with a big enough sample size it could naively learn and single out slurs, which luckily the sample size should be sufficient given the size of the player base, could then be used in the IFS.

Wouldnt be hard to design and implement theoretically but it would need to be very accurate removing false positives/negatives, learning from non-false report flags etc before its considered viable as a system.
