I think that you shouldn't get perma banned for anything that you write in your chat because it has almost no difference in the game. My personal toughts on requierments for perma bans should be either you are a cheater or elo boost. Those things affect games! Not what you wrote in chat to some guy how bad he is or something like that! So i think that RIOT should revisit their system.
You're entitled to your opinion, but trash talking, flaming, and other chat-related offenses do have a tangible impact on the game. They drop morale and make everyone play worse because of - potentially - just one person's negativity.
That doesn't mean that chat-related offenses and gameplay-related offenses are treated the same, mind. Chat-related offenses often simply climb the punishment ladder from 10-game Chat Restrict, 25-game Chat Restrict, 14-day Ban, & Permaban, whereas gameplay-related offenses skip the chat restrictions entirely, putting players right on the verge of a permaban once their foul play has been verified.
And, again - you think that chat toxicity and flaming and all that other nonsense doesn't affect the game, but it does. Toxicity negatively impacts games, whether you can see the effects or not.
That said, their system is fine. Flawed - and needing quite a few QOL tweaks and the like, but ultimately fine. It serves the community, and the community wants nothing to do with toxic players, trolls, cheaters, or feeders.
My friend got around 7 perma bans all because he was "flaming". After thousands of hours that he spent on this game and almost 1k dollars RIOT just thinks that it is fair to ban him. NO it is not!!! First of all you should be able to write and say anything you want as it is one of our human rights! But your system clearly does not support it! Therefor you are violating our human rights. Let's take a example.
Yes, it is fair. It may not be in the smaller scale - between you and him, it certainly isn't fair - but to the community at large, it is fair. The community doesn't want to deal with toxic assholes spewing hate at other people, and I'm sorry to say this, but - 7 accounts banned for flaming kinda tells me your friend is more than an asshole.
If he can't compose himself properly, then he shouldn't be playing League. It doesn't matter how many hours he's played, how much money he's dropped on the account, the rules clearly state what isn't allowed, flaming being one of them. That your friend ignored those rules through Seven accounts, which would be Twenty-Seven separate warnings (7 10-games, 7 25-games, 7 14-days, 6 permabans) shows that he either has zero sense of self-control, or is completely deluded thinking that what he says is okay.
First of all you should be able to write and say anything you want as it is one of our human rights!
Oh, boy. This schtick again. Yadda-yadda-yadda, Freedom of Speech, it's the same old song and dance.
Freedom of Speech does not equal Freedom of Consequence. You still have your Freedom of Speech intact, even if Riot bans you. They're not the government, and League of Legends is their private domain which they hold full control over. If they see you breaking their rules, "freedom of speech" is not going to save you from the impending meeting of their boot and your ass.
Now, with that tired nonsense out of the way, we can move on.
How would you feel if you came to a coffee shop. And you order a regular coffee. But that coffe ehas a strange taste. Then you realise that she gave you the wrong coffee. You go to the counter. Ask for a new coffee. But they say to you you can't have it.
Well, if we're going to be realistic here, if your coffee has a strange taste (implying you've had regular coffee before), the first thing any civil person would do is go up to the counter and ask if what they were given was regular coffee. If it wasn't, you can ask for a new one or a refund (store policies may differ, and it is entirely possible you could be told neither were options), and you can continue from there.
Hypothetical outcomes include: 1. A refund is made, 2. Drink is exchanged for what was asked for, formal apologies made, 3. Neither are options, so you kinda just have to deal with it. Buying a new coffee is still an option.
So you go to review the coffee shop online. You say to them that their coffee is thrash,that it's always too sweat or too bitter.
That's a melodramatic step that only a temperamental jerk would take. Sure, writing a negative review may do something, but it's not going to change the coffee (if it is what you ordered), and surely to god if your coffee is bitter, you can ask for sweetener or something like that. But to just up and say "MY COFFEE WAS STRANGE, THIS COFFEE SHOP IS TRASH" is just...Really, sorely immature.
But you still want to go to that coffee place because your friends hang out there. But the owner says: Sorry, you wrote a bad review so you can't enter anymore. You are officialy banned from my coffee shop!
Pffft. Come on, seriously? Banned from a coffee shop for a bad review? (I mean, sure, if you go the immature route and say the coffee shop is trash because you didn't like the one cup you got, they could pretty much bar access to the shop if they know you're going to be a dick about it.)
Negative reviews happen, and if the coffee shop otherwise has a wealth of good reviews, one negative one (particularly if it's well-composed and not just a temper tantrum) wouldn't ban you for it.
Honestly, the whole analogy is pretty absurd, I'm not even going to bother with the last bit. The analogy would be closer to being correct if it was more like this:
"You go into a coffee shop routinely, but every day you keep arguing and shouting at other customers. Naturally, the coffee shop owner kicks you out and bars access to the shop, regardless of whether or not you have friends who go there or if you've spent money there."
Routinely spewing hate and flaming people is liable to get you kicked out of the coffee shop, just like it is in League of Legends.
And I think that is how some of my friends feel,myself included, and probably every other player that was banned for "toxicity".
And they can feel that way all they want. If they've been banned for toxicity, they've had upwards of three chances to shape up, and they wasted them all. We don't want to deal with them, so if they come back and haven't wisened up, haven't stopped being toxic, they're just going to get banned all over again.
So I'm calling out every major RIOT employee to speak to me or anyone who was involved in such a thing!!!
Uhhuh. Good luck with that, I think the most in the way of Riot response you'd get here is Tantram, and even then, I doubt he'd really have anything to say that the community hasn't already. Not to say he couldn't, but there isn't really much to be said about this "issue".
Also the people who tend to get banned are those hardcore gamers who spend countless of hours on your game!! And i think that is not the right way to repay them!!!
Are you suggesting that players who spend a lot of time playing League of Legends should be exempt from the rules? Even if they're the worst, most toxic players who ruin everyone's matches with their filth-spewing, unnecessary hatred? Potentially trolls, intentional feeders, and other such players, too?
Hardcore or not, the rules apply to everyone. Nobody is exempt. I don't care if you're in Challenger, have Mastery 7 on every single Champion, and have played since the game's birth, you play by the rules, or not at all.
