People that spend money Vs. people that don't spend money on league

heres my thoughts, riot has nothing in place to protect someone that have spent 1000's of dollars on league buying all the skins wards chromas emotes etc, and then you get people that just make multiple free accounts so they can have fun trolling people and making them upset. I believe a lot of this dynamic causes a strain on the reporting system because it's so flawed you can't get banned if you know what bans you in the algorithm. and we don't have any punishments that can actually fix the problem at the source the person themselves we can't come up with a way to reduce hatred, just look at these boards its people that fee all the same wayl they have been unfairly judged by a algorithm that clearly is letting games like fortnite take it over, mean while tyler one being toxic teaching these kids how to be the opposite of the riot standard but they endorse him sending mixed messages and we allll wonder while people like fortnite now over league how the mighty have fallen and this has been being said if they don't do something someone else is going to step, league is just another old dying game at the end of it's life cycle unless they decide to actually listen to their players maybe go back to their roots and make a game that the player were to "riot" for they jut gonna riot league and demand they get off their high horse and listen

Wait, so spending money on something doesn’t give you the right to break the rules?

Almost like this isn’t a corrupt government but a first world business.

It makes me really sad that anyone is stuck feeling this way. It's a pretty terrible feeling.

Thanks to ignorance or misinformation or whatever... some people really don't understand the big picture and they cling to stories that reinforce their victim complex... like the big bad Riot is out to get them and fuck them over.

The system isn't set up to unfairly ban anyone. On the rare occasion that a ban happens by mistake, Riot Support is there to undo it (I know, it happened to my account before). A lot of the people who claim 'unfair ban' aren't really worried that their ban happened in error... they're mad because they broke the rules in response to someone else breaking the rules instead of just muting. Another player flaming or being toxic doesn't mean it's okay for you to also do those things back at them. So players get punished for it and are salty.

Your Freedom of Speech™ is never threatened by Riot. All Freedom of Speech™ guarantees you is that you cannot be imprisoned by your government for voicing your opinions - with rare exceptions. You can do or say whatever you want to Riot, about Riot, and in Riot's game. You will never be imprisoned for it. Riot, however, doesn't have to put up with your shit and can choose to deny you further service.

Also it's worth noting that the staff on the boards are volunteers and are not being paid by Riot to do anything. They put their time and effort into the boards because they care about having a place where the community can come together, not because they want to silence naysayers.

I understand that you're angry... apparently about a whole heck of a lot. But I think you'd benefit from some genuine conversations with people in the community to gain a better perspective. A lot of what you're claiming would be rage-inducing if it were accurate at all. Riot isn't out to get you. It isn't intentionally letting other games get more popular. It doesn't endorse Tyler1 even in the slightest, as far as I'm aware. All they did was unban him. If i'm wrong, please correct me and show me some proof. And lastly, not being in the top views on Twitch isn't an indicator that a game is dying. There are hundreds of thriving games that aren't top on twitch for a myriad of reasons. Riot has been around for a decade, and they'll continue for many years to come regardless of twitch views.

why would they need to protect those whom are toxic, regardless of whether they spent money or not?

You keep talking about laws and standards in America. Tell me, in America, do people have right to evict someone from their property if they want to? Do restaurants, cafes, strip clubs have right to deny access or to remove from their property anyone they want? Do you have right to kick someone out of your house? If you build a pool in your backyard do you have right to deny access to it to anyone you want? And to remove anyone u want from it? You are not only one who have rights. Riot have rights too.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

This is your "freedom of speech". Your first amendment right. Riot isnt part of congress. It doesnt apply to them in the slightest.

the funniest thing about this is about 3 months ago i said league was gonna lose their top spot in popularity because of the community they foster and literally fortnite, pubg, even dota2 the list just goes on all of them doing better but nooooooo im just mad and i don't know what im talking about i don't have a bachelors in business admin or a video game design certificate, im just another little punk like all the other little punks on here running their mouths according to riot none of us no what we are talking about because riot is always right and all their moderators they hire on here just ban your post even though this is america riot must not believe in freedom of speech. i understand you shouldn't start or antagonize fights but when you blur the lines of debate to your antagonizing people because you don't say what we believe turns into communism

So what I'm hearing is you should spend money on a game you already love, only to expect to be treated better than others? What the actual heck- are you delusional? Are you alright? Do you understand that you've literally agreed to the same rules as people who have put only 1 minute and zero dollars into this game right?
