Can Telling People to Kill Themselves Automatically be Worth a Punishment?

Çhåryzård·4/18/2017, 3:02:23 AM·44 votes·3,719 views

"Kill yourself" and "kys" have no purpose and no need to be said unless the person saying it is trying to be the most toxic asshole they can.

Same goes for racial and homophobic slurs.

There's no place for it, if the chat logs show the person is being toxic and using these to seriously attack another teammate they should receive a punishment right there imo. Don't let them continue on for multiple games pulling that garbage with a new set of people each time.

Like, there's a difference between telling people "oh you suck gg" and "uninstall the game, you're autistic, kill yourself"

Neither should be said but one of those is very obviously being said by someone who really wants to make sure you feel like trash. I can deal with the "you suck", but when people start telling others to kill themselves and start calling people autistic and all these slurs I get mad and wonder why they're still playing this game.

Yes, it's possible to be punished and even escalated multiple tiers for saying that. Most of the time you see someone escalated multiple tiers straight to a ban it's because of that or repeated hate speech.

Jesus christ, it's not like anyone has gone killing himself already because of LoL...

I can see someone saying "kill yourself" in a situation where someone gets horribly caught on the wrong side of the map and should die to a tower to avoid giving over any kills/assists.

Telling people to kill themselves is necessity when playing aram. Cause i always get the Lux who wants to go 45/0/32 only to lose the game cause they don't realize not spending 12k gold hurts the team.

We don't need an additional level of special-snowflake sensitivity being brought to league.

What next? Auto-bans for people building weird builds, or playing off-meta champs? Better yet, why even have a chat? Or you know what, we should just make league an OFFLINE game, so there's no social interaction whatsoever!

Show off your skins to them bots, in your 1+4bots vs 5bots matches! Stupid snowflakes.

You're way too sensitive. Just mute them you don't have to come and cry on the boards about it, you're not going to change anything. I don't know why people get so butt hurt about being told to kys it's a pretty generalized thing to say at this point.

You = blue side Ashe at bot lane tier 2 outer turret alone 20 seconds after trading your support's life for double kill on enemy bot lane

"Enemy team has slain the dragon"

Me: dude the rest of their team are closing in. Please kill yourself before it's too late.

... -punished after game-

P.S. ops, I just realized ppl above me have already mentioned my point. Btw kys is also used as kiss your sister, those who didn't watch rush's stream probably don't know about it, though.

Ah. The only time I ever use the phrase "KYS" is when people int my promos. When I say int I mean literally run it down mid because they're terrible people ruining everyone's game for no reason.

If you're racist, homophobic, or use a life threat you will automatically be moved to tier 3. (14 Day suspension)

Totally agree with this Charyzard. I can already think of a system for riot to implement the punishment system.

"Kys" is up there with a high offense/crime "You suck" is misdemeanor

High offense is something that seriously offends the player in any way irl, a high offense would strike the person with a "OMG he's real about this" to an "It's just a game." And it is on top of that VERY serious.

Offense Some offensive conduct towards a player or group. Directly or indirectly it's going to count as: Offense. Ex: Dude you seriously never played this game before you deserved to lost.

And the rest I'll leave for later. At like 6pm But anyways toodles.

Also... wasn't the tribunal so useful in these matters...

If you tell someone "kys" and it affects them, then maybe they should just go ahead with it. Letting words offend you is the weakest thing you can do.
