For those of you wondering why you got banned for repeating or talking back to your "offenders," read this. Please.

Take this scenario: Someone robs you. You get hurt, but you try and fight back. Maybe push them away, get your stuff back. Nothing wrong with that.

But it turns into you being the criminal rather than the victim as soon as you think you have the right to kick them down, injure them severely, and rob them back. Pushing someone away to get them to stop or something is fine, but when you push it far enough to try and just do what you wanted them banned for, that's bad.

The difference between self-defense in the real world and "self-defense" in a League of Legends match is that in the real world, there isn't a magic button you can press to prevent their fist from impacting your face. In League, there is a mute button if you don't want to read what someone is typing.

That would actually be legal in most states.

If I knocked out someone who tried to rob me, I'm pretty sure it would fall under self defense.

On the other hand, let's go into this example:

Someone threatens to kill you or burn your house down - In real life, the police would investigate that person and take the threat very seriously.

If someone threatens to you kill you or burn your house down in league of legends - Riot says play on!

Did you get the idea for this post from today's episode of Barney or Full House? Just curious.
