Racism in league club names

Kuroshix·11/1/2017, 4:19:36 AM·12 votes·2,169 views

I have encountered two groups this week while playing s.r drat pick and both were KKK affiliated, both groups knew what they were doing was wrong and hurtful and just changed the name after the game as over like they didn't do anything. one group had even taunted me that riot wont doing anything but request a name change. I do not feel like that is enough of repercussion for such actions. I am a african american girl who just wants to come home after school and enjoy league. I just want to forget the things that are going on in this world for a few hours and have fun. and these insensitive people are stealing that from me and other p.o.c they encounter on the rift. I beg of you please do not overlook this matter.

did they make something with 3 K words just to have the KKK tag? probably. But you can't go banning every "Karate Kid Kings" just cause the words happen to be KKK.

you shouldnt care about things like that ... there are alot of ignorant people out there a lot of people who enjoy harming others in anyway and it doesnt end in one race they are in all races white black brown asian ... truth is you shouldnt be heart by anyone calling you black .. you should be proud of who you are and as a white man or woman wont mind being called white you shouldnt either ... if you mind it you are giving them the power and ability to abuse you and you accepting that there is something wrong with being black ...

pity the people who have done nothing with their life and the only thing they have to be proud of is the skin of their color because someone with that same color did something meaning full ... these people only deserve that much

My friends club tag was 3/5ths, I had to get him to change it because I didn't agree with it. I do think that they need to at least have a report system in place that lets you report things like this from the client.

Riot isn't interested in improving player experience except in enabling trolls and bottom-tier people to continue what they're doing as long as they keep getting money from it.

Racism in club names? They allow racism in SUMMONER NAMES. There's one on the NA server named "league of %%%%s". Even after reporting, Riot decided this name was appropriate. It's not tacit allowance, it's active acceptance of racism, hatred, and people acting their absolute worst on the Internet.

Unfortunately, the bottom line for Riot is the money they can get from these people, not a positive experience for people playing their game. Businesses will tolerate all sorts of awful things as long as they come out with a profit.

Edit: immediately after posting, it actually censored the summoner name that I typed. But they refuse to do the same thing in name creation. How wonderful.

You're honestly such a fucking loser Jesus christ you are the reason I get banned pussies who can't take criticism and get offended so easily I am BLACK and i don't get offended by any of this shit. Just another pussy who probably goes 0 and 20 and then reports when they get flamed lmao

Honestly I'm surprised I can still see club tags that are offensive and Riot hasn't let us report them yet.
