Bigotry in League

Dear Riot games,

Can you please actually do something about the active bigotry in your game? I can't make it through 2-3 games without running into someone with a slur in their name or saying something in chat. I report them every time i see them but i'm kinda getting the feeling that it does absolutely nothing. These people should be permabanned not given a warning or a free name change. The world is a crappy enough place as it is why do i also need to come home to this bs?

Riot cannot preemptively prevent people from being assholes. This is one of the things that there's zero-tolerance for, if you report them for slurs in chat or in name, they're going to get punished or have a name changed forced.

This is a prime example of "outrage culture." It's not a good look. Don't do it. You're looking for something to be pissed about and putting it on Riot to fix the world. That's not their job. Not everything can happen instantly. Be glad you're not a bigoted piece of shit and move on.

I could also come up with half a dozen reasons why your summoner name is sexist horseshit. Worshiping female genitals in your League user name and then coming here clutching your pearls when others behave poorly? Get out of here, dude.

First off, yeah, your name is skirting the line, so it does come across as hypocritical of you to complain about other peoples' names.

Also, we're not going to have a discussion about the details of why that name is acceptable or unacceptable.

I'm locking this thread while I clean it. It may be unlocked, it might not.

Youre not coming home to this bs. Youre choosing to interact online with millions of strangers. Youre gonna see things that offend you. No one is forcing it into your home.
