Dear Riot,
I do not appreciate the fact that some of your players see autism as an insult and are willing to go as far as to tell other players to kill themselves. Depression and autism are real problems. The last thing that anyone needs is someone belittling these problems. I implore you to take another look at your reporting tickets and take the appropriate action. October is also depression awareness month so please remember that you're not alone. Thank you.
Hauling Ashe2 votesWhile I agree that autism shouldn't be an insult and that "kys" should be grounds for a review of some sort, the reason autism has become a popular insult on the web is because a lot of users with bad behavior like to fall back on the excuse of being autistic. I have seen this in several communities, and after a while, you start to expect it and autism sadly becomes a joke in itself.
Please don't take this as justification of the insult, nor as me accusing you of using autism as a crutch. I do not know what autism is like on a personal level, but I do struggle with depression myself and can see your point of view. However, I also feel like the autistic element needed to be addressed because in most cases it's not just a baseless insult. There really are people with no dignity who will spam the autism excuse for all it's worth and get away with murder.
scazzman2 votesIve brought this up a million times. Saying that autism related insults should be treated the same as kys or other hate speech. As far as i know. Its chat restrictable.but doesn't carry the same weight as racial or homophobic slurs

Not true.

Likely due to seasonal affective disorder.
Cute Poro1 votesSadly it's not just in league where this is an issue, it's pretty much everywhere all over the internet. But, I understand what you're saying and I'm sure Riot does their best to deal with the people who use it as an insult towards others.

Lylos1 votesIf only these players were around when this game had real toxicity. Calling someone autistic is probably the most minor insult in this game.
