So..... can you get punished for saying certain names?

Apparently, I have seen some people who are toxic use these words constantly. -Bronzers -Boosted animal -Silverado -> Dunno why the f*** people use car names for silvers -Insects -Are you Lee Sin (Pointing out you are blind) -You must be Jax (Pointing out that you have 3 fingers = Bad at using skills) And so on

What's the verdict?

I think calling people Bronze and boosted are reportable. They're directed at your skill and meant to insult.

Ima try using just three fingers next game.

The verdict is that you're punished for insulting/abusing other players.

Calling someone "Bronze" or "Boosted" is usually another way of calling them bad, which isn't the sort of polite behavior expected of a player. In general any sort of name-calling that has negative connotations is probably punishable to a greater or lesser extent depending on the names in question.

The verdict is that you won't be banned or any of those by themselves. What you'll be banned for is the quantity of those comments in chat, and the percentage of your chat that was negative. However, references that cannot be understood (the Jax one is a wtf moment) you will most likely not be punished for. Usually there is a myriad of insults in a line harassing a particular player or players that gets people in trouble.

I have honestly never heard those before. Haha. I mean they should be technically fine but please do not use them in a negative way towards your team or the enemy team :c

The problem with policing name calling is that if the name is purely descriptive a new name with the same meaning will appear. Many people in bronze will joke:

"We're bronze V for life"

"Bronze for life"

"Just having fun in bronze"
