what i learned from my first ever chat restriction

kaellidor·5/23/2019, 9:44:39 AM·4 votes·4,890 views

Ive played league since the release of quinn (season 3) and ive never been chat restricted, banned or otherwise punished. its pretty rare id say for someone whos played as long as me to never have a scuffle with the riot behavior squad. I acquired this restriction in a debacle between a fellow summoner and have learned from the experience a few things.

  1. You must adopt C*ckold mentality. you are not allowed to defend yourself if someone flames you, especially flaming them back
  2. You have to take it in the *ss with a smile and let them ruin your experience. talking back would ruin theirs! just let them get all the satisfaction.
  3. Riot doesn't care who started it. you are both going to the principles office and getting sent home.
  4. Muting wont stop them from inting because you wont ff.

Pretty fun let me tell you. Guess ill just not defend myself anymore... or go the T1 treatment and make a ton of accounts and try and ruin as many peoples day as possible. Only time will tell.

Edit: might come off as a complain post about me getting punished but im fine with my light sentencing its more about the question of standing up and whether its right or wrong to do so.

edit 2: just had another game where 3 people flamed each other i wasnt involved. basically lost the game because of it. no one got banned. why? 2 afks and 3 flamers. hows that different than my situation? the answer it isnt. its worse because someone afked and no punishment was delt.

  1. you are not allowed to defend yourself if someone flames you, especially flaming them back

As KFCeytron said; you're allowed to defend yourself through using the Mute Feature. Flaming people back != defending yourself, and frankly, I don't understand why people feel the need to "defend themselves" by flaming back against random people they don't know in a videogame.

  1. You have to take it with a smile and let them ruin your experience. talking back would ruin theirs! just let them get all the satisfaction.

Technically speaking, it's a lose/lose situation. In your eyes, they either get the satisfaction of laying into someone playing meek, or they get the satisfaction of knowing that you're easy pickings to provoke and start a flame war with.

But, I've learned that, when it comes to a flamer or troll; the most painful wound you could inflict is to ignore them. Don't mention them, don't give them the time of day, don't even acknowledge their existence; that hurts them much, much more than flaming does.

  1. Riot doesn't care who started it.

And they have no reason to. Flame wars only detract from the game, making it that much easier for your opponents to beat you since you're so preoccupied with fighting the wrong team, and in many cases, you and the other flamer are ruining the game for at least 1-3 other teammates.

Flaming helps nothing, and is wholly detrimental, so...Yeah. Of course Riot doesn't care who started it. It doesn't belong in their game, so anyone who participates gets the gavel.

Muting wont stop them from inting because you wont ff.

Neither will flaming.

What's your point?

There's a difference between defending yourself and counter-attacking. Counter attack will get you punished (as well

There's a difference between defending yourself and counter-attacking. Counter-attack is still an attack.

  1. You have to take it in the *ss with a smile and let them ruin your experience. talking back would ruin theirs! just let them get all the satisfaction.

Why do you have to let it get to you? If you don't let it get to you, nothing is going in your *ss.

  1. Riot doesn't care who started it. you are both going to the principles office and getting sent home.

This is correct

  1. Muting wont stop them from inting because you wont ff.

Let's be real, how often does inting happen? My experience, not very often. So are you sure you aren't accusing of people for inting when they really aren't?

Pretty fun let me tell you. Guess ill just not defend myself anymore... or go the T1 treatment and make a ton of accounts and try and ruin as many peoples day as possible. Only time will tell.

Well, you sure are allowed to do as you please. You'll probably find yourself enjoying things more if you were to play another game.

You are allowed to defend yourself. The way to defend yourself is muting the offending player. This protects you from seeing any of their chat, so it's 100% effective. Flaming back is not defensive but offensive, and usually just results in getting flamed even harder, so it actually has negative value as a defensive measure.

Yes, Riot doesn't care who started it. Most people learn this concept in grade school or earlier.

Muting stops the flame. If they start inting, report them for that as well.

There is no justification or practical purpose for engaging in punishable behaviors in LoL.

You can defend yourself all the way as long as you don't break the rules or get rude. A lot of people mislead counterflame as a solid way to defend themselves or have serious problems making a point without belittling the other player.

  1. You have to take it in the *ss with a smile and let them ruin your experience. talking back would ruin theirs! just let them get all the satisfaction.

You have to consider that you are not alone in a private chat with the flamer - your whole team and even the enemy team suffers from your discussion. Not paying attention to the actual gameplay, ruining the mood of the team and so much more have an impact on your teammates.

  1. Riot doesn't care who started it. you are both going to the principles office and getting sent home.

Yeah - just because someone broke the rules first doesn't mean you have a freepass to break them aswell.

you can defend your self without resulting to attacking back, dont act like the kid who says [but he did it first!!] be the bigger man and explain whatever the problem was or ignore them

  1. You have to take it in the *ss with a smile and let them ruin your experience. talking back would ruin theirs! just let them get all the satisfaction.

idk what are you talking about exactly , but if they are breaking the rule ya know you can report them and punish them, and frankly players who enjoy ruining others game want a reaction anyway so ya if you flame them you give them the fun they want...

  1. Riot doesn't care who started it. you are both going to the principles office and getting sent home.

yes and even in school he started it does not matter either if both cross the line [will at least the one i was in]

  1. Muting wont stop them from inting because you wont ff.

and flaming will stop them from inting anyhow? if anything i managed to stop a guy from inting by ignoring him, and stoped a guy from trolling by using nice words.
