Guy adds me after a game where I played badly, and "Why don't you try slitting your wrist on stream, I'll donate and watch" is part of the conversation.

I send in a ticket.

"Hello Summoner,

I'm very sorry you had to deal with a player that said those awful things to you. I will take a look into this for you but due to our privacy policy, I will not be able to disclose any actions against another players account."

Ahh I see. So when you say "I cannot disclose any actions" what you really mean is you will take no action and throw out my ticket. Heck you might not even be human. You might be a robo-reply.

How is a statement like that not an automatic temporary ban? What if he actually made me kill myself? What if I was thinking "Yeah, you know what? There's a bunch of other online bullies I've been dealing with and I'd like to stream my death to them to ruin their lives. Why don't I go ahead and go through with it and add you to the fun and games?"

I'm not actually going to kill myself, so don't send the police to my house Rito. But I have been depressed in the past. And if someone was already thinking about streaming their death... A statement like that could push them over the edge and get them to actually do it. And I guess Riot doesn't care? Or maybe they hit him with a chat restriction with no context as to where it came from, which doesn't sound very useful (although I doubt my ticket was even read by a human, so probably not).

And this wasn't even spontaneous in-game rage. He added me after the game to say these things to me. It was cold and calculated. And he didn't just spontaneously say "kys." He went even further and gave me an actual method. Again, cold and calculated.

And he continues to play the game, without even a temporary break!

Everything that gets written by pm won't get you banned. It's called private message for a reason. Riot doesn't and should'nt even have access to that. It's your choice if you add random players.

  1. You opted in this conversation with accepting the friends request.
  2. Do not play bad!
  3. Who the fck cares about what others say on the internet, simply don't kill yourself if you don't want to.
  4. If you are mentally ill that you would kill yourself just becasue someone on the internet told you, then do not go on the internet. You are not able to distinguish between trolls and serious comments. The internet is not a place for you then. Go seek a therapist and when you are normal, then go and explore how asshole ppl can be. (But do NOT do it, if you cant handle it.)
  5. A chat offense should NEVER result in ban from the game. Chat offense should result in chat restriction, idk why you want more? (Sadly Rito does more, idk why....)

GROW SOME BALLS (just theoretically if you are a girl). Please dont be butthurt from everything.

Hmmm? Won't disclose means won't disclose. It doesn't mean that they wont do anything.

They have privacy rules they have to follow.

Well you could have said "No, thanks".

Private Messages are often held to a different standard because they are an opt-in experience. Ultimately, you don't have to accept their friend request and you can remove them at any time.
