@riot Adelaidde Skyhart Banning
I'm curious about this. I agree with what Mickey C is saying here. I don't think I need to say anything about proof, it's all in the video. I'd Like to hear what you have to say about this.

I mean I kinda agree to what he is saying, but from Riots standpoint I don't know what that employee is thinking.
I'm officially gonna play Singed support as my one and only main until Riot public's apologize to this guy.
I feel bad for him, got to plat with smite singed supp, forced to play exhaust ghost cause of the threat, and now dropped to gold
EDIT: I linked videos of Aphromoo doing these things that aren't showing up.
Aphromoo counterjungling. Ban him.
Aphromoo condoning support roaming. Ban him.
Aphromoo making off meta decisions as a support. Ban him.
I think you get my point.
I think what this guy is doing is great. Let him play his game his way as a member of the team. I often disagree with people's playstyles and champion selections. Do I get to report them and get them banned too?
Bad Riot, Bad. I'm very disappointed in you.
This is pretty much it.
The issue is that this being a bannable offense implies that the community (or those four players you're playing with) get to decide what you can play and what you can pick, no matter what your intentions are for playing. This guy was not intentionally feeding, didn't have a negative attitude, didn't verbally abuse teammates or use racial slurs; hell, you can't even pin him down for "refusing to communicate" - unless Riot's definition of this includes "giving up what you want to do and what could help you actually win the game for sake of your teammates' wishes which may or may not be right."
I am interested in seeing another rioter's version of the story; maybe they can word it better for their side. But as it stands, it seems the community can arbitrarily stifle creativity with threat of permanent bans, which would make the game a lot less interesting to play since you'd have to follow a bunch of rules of "how to play the game." Part of the fun of a game is being able to be unique and accomplish your goals in your own way, which is why there's stuff like items in this game that give different effects based on what you feel will help you.
But this "case" may result in the stifling of this creativity based on what's "good" in the game, and you're only safe if you do what everyone else is doing. That's not much fun at all.
