Attention League of Legend Players!

Braum Hi everyone. I wanted to talk to you about players that are ruining our League of Legends with hurtful words and unsportsmanlike conduct. Now I haven't played LoL for a long time, but I know that in any game be it real or virtual nobody likes a jerk who thinks they can say whatever they want or do whatever they think they can do that hurts people mentally or physically. That's just being a bully, and no one likes those. Bullies are selfish, have no social skills, and blame all their problems on good people. This abuse can be equivalent to actual pain (as web MD will say). Some may harm themselves because of this harassment by cutting, burning, or beating themselves. People commit suicide because of bullying. You wouldn't kill a child, would you? Or a parent or a grandparent? Cyber bullying does that, and I would never want that blood on my hands. No one wants that. A pal of mine said when I talked to him about this issue "oh well no parent or grandparent ever plays LoL." Do you know that for sure? I sure don't and unless you're psychic you don't know either.
We play games to have fun, make friends, and share in the joy of being a part of a community not to be tortured by abusive players that have no sense of what is right or wrong. One of the reasons I put Braum on the top of this page is because he embodies friendship and peace. He protects, works, and cares for others. That is what we should strive for every day. I know Riot Games has been trying to solve this problem with reporting and banning, but that can only do so much.Some people may say that those "weak" people need to "suck it up and deal with it" or "Get tough skin." Not everyone has the same mental strength as the person next to them. Some may say "just mute them or stop playing the game." Well, that just means the bullies have won. You have given up. That doesn't seem fair that they can do that and all you can do is run away with your tail tucked between your legs. And what about before the game starts? Can't report players during that moment and once they say what they want to say they can disband the game and you won't hear about them while they continue doing the same thing to someone else.We need to come together as a community and figure out a way to keep offensive players out. I'm sure if the community puts their heads together we can figure something out. If you have any ideas of your own, please comment or post about this issue. Mark 12:31"Love your neighbor as yourself"item 3028 . Spread the word that we won't take the bullying anymore!

This was a great parody thread.

I enjoyed reading.

Theoretically, rito has access to all of the "bullies" personal information not excluding their names, IP addresses, and (if they dig hard enough) their real life addresses. Thus, couldn't they just send all the info to the cops and get them arrested if they really wanted to solve the problem?

Some may harm themselves because of this harassment by cutting, burning, or beating themselves.

Those who do that do it regardless of online Alistar .

People commit suicide because of Alistar . You wouldn't kill a child, would you? Or a parent or a grandparent? Cyber Alistar does that, and I would never want that blood on my hands.

Grandparents playing League? I wanna see that. But I think you are overreacting a lot.

"oh well no parent or grandparent ever plays LoL." Do you know that for sure? I sure don't and unless you're psychic you don't know either.

Saying it happens because you can't prove otherwise its the worst kind of fallacy that exists.

Some may say "just mute them or stop playing the game." Well, that just means the bullies have won.

You can't change others, but you can change how you react to them. People are going to be jerks always on the internet but you could just stop being a pussy about it.

Tbh if you kill yourself because someone said something mean to you over a video game then maybe, just a thought, you shouldnt be playing league. (Let alone be on the internet)

I'm pretty sure freedom of speech protects you from punishment because of telling someone to kill themselves

If you really want to understand and know the truth...Yes, if you tell someone to kill them self's in my state in front of a police officer, (I've asked many) It is up to the discretion of the police to charge you with, don't know the term but 'threatening someone'. Punishable by law.

I asked the same cops if done on a video game, and if someone actually threatens to go 'Kill someone or their family' ..All replied the same way! Report to the company of the game, and if you feel the threat was real call local, they will look into it. __

So, here is your answer where I live! I just would Not recommend doing such things. Not just because typing it is such a Jerk move and against the rules.

Great read and yes I agree toxic kids who have been neglected by their parents and not taught right from wrong are ruining this game! I feel extremely sorry for them because they only mask that pain by trying to hurt others. And it's just that a mask! A fake one at that! I think an IP ban should be placed for those who are toxic and or a tier out side of ranked or any Q's now that they can go at each other in.

I would vote to have GM's in game to help battle this! And an instant ban option for those admins, if the action is justified.

Even the trolls in here are horrible but the thing is they don't bug me I feel sorry for them that they use this game to baby sit them and their angers in life.

The false logic and lack of legal expertise in these comments and post is STAGGERING.
