I'm sorry that I lied riot.

A survey came up and asked if I enjoyed my last game and I said 'strongly agree' but I thought it would come up after every game so I stated the truth for that one game because I did have fun that game. I had fun because there were 9 other 'toxic' players in my game and everyone was having a blast. Everyone was calling each other cucks and we were all shakin each others d's after the game. I was told to suck ahri's dick. My support told braum to shove that OP sheild up his ass. Our lee sin kicked braum's sheild into braum's ass. The enemy blitzcrack brought teleport and only tele'd to deep wards and said that she was gonna fist us. It was great.

I lied because most games its just people spamming all chat "report x player for being x reason". Why can't we just go back to when the game was actually fun? When anyone could lightly criticize their teammates and not have that player afk in fountain just bitching all game about how they are morally superior than one another and can get "riots ban hammer" to ban whomever they want banned.

But u know, ban us for trying to have fun.

PS. Please don't misinterpret my post as thinking racism and saying 'kys' is cool; it fucking isn't. I'm just saying we should all try to light up a bit, these bans are getting ridiculous.

I miss the days of everyone being a "toxic" foul mouthed asshole in games. All the while still trying to win. It was an art and added a slightly odd commodore. You'd flame your team when they fucked up, praise them when they did something amazing. BM the enemy every chance you had because you damn well knew they were gonna do the same to you. At the end you'd all talk shit, laugh, and occasionally create a rivalry or friendship. Kids these days, report this/report that/my feelings/my sensitivities/ my autism...

I guess I've just always found it amusing and taken it with a light-hearted kinda jest. Sure some people go too far, or some resort to inting or ruining the game in other ways. They should be punished I guess.

If everyone is cool with it, then it's okay.

Here's the thing, though. You never know whether or not there's someone who is genuinely offended and remains quiet simply because they know that speaking up is routinely ineffective. They're going to report it, it's going to trigger a review, which leads to a justified ban.

Take me for example. The instant I see "cuck" or any of its variants, I'm muting that person and reporting them after the match. Full stop, no exceptions.

And me doing that will never be weakness or sensitivity. My free time is precious and I choose not to waste it on people like that, just as I never hesitate on calling people out for smoking in a restaurant. My advice to people who think this sort of talk is fun is that they should nourish it by restricting it to team chat in a 5-man or in games where the culture is okay with it.

League is not one of those games.

And I bet your ban notifications are pretty ineffective.

Like... why "cuck". Why do you give a shit? I get it, you think it's immature or something. But why report it? Like... why?

Rather the opposite.

Actually, I lied too. I shouldn't have made it seem as though my primary objection to the word was anything other than my belief that it represents what I consider one of the most cruel aspects of human nature.

In my experience, this form of "banter" is really used to maintain privilege and pecking orders. People use terms like n----r, f----t, c--t and cuck to remind people of their lack of status or agency, to keep them in their place. Yes, some groups have tried to reclaim and repurpose these terms,with mixed success. They're also used when the lessers aren't around to remind people of the consequences of defying the in-group.

So, I shouldn't have made it sound as though I was merely annoyed by the behavior. It's bullying and I don't tolerate it. Judging by how often I see the "someone you have reported has been punished" popup, it seems the community agrees with me.

Seems overly analytical for a game whose population is comprised mostly of socially inept, immature, basement dwellers.

Personally, I think having an adverse reaction to words only helps to strengthen their negative connotations. Words don't have any power that we don't give them. Just a simple imho.

The thing I never understand is that we've all got access to a mute all button. And even if you don't wanna mute all, you get to mute select individuals. So if you see your WHOLE team or game is having fun insulting one another, what makes you think "OMG HE JUST INSULTED HIS PREMADE AND THE PREMADE INSULTED BACK AND THEY'RE NOT TALKING TO ANYONE ELSE but let me report them anyways😁"

On my old account I got banned and in that chat history that Riot showed me, it was me talking smack to my premade WHILST CLEARLY telling everyone that it's only fun and games and that they're my premades in each chat history they showed(3), so unless it's sore losers who report the person, I don't understand why some of these bans are a big deal. People deserve to get banned but not when you're clearly having fun with friends. Is Riot Games supposed to be like a training camp or something and having fun with friends is only allowed over Skype?

If your team is cool with what you say, you won't get reported and you'll be fine.

What I'm asking people to remember is that ofttimes people will just stay quiet and report you, not the least of which reasons for doing so is that it's effective.

With regard to the "but you have a mute button" argument, life doesn't work that way. Neither does League. Just because someone can put an end to that incident doesn't make it okay to have been a jerk in the first place.

When you consider that things like this http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/q3LQpxWB-intentionally-disproportionate-match-ups-for-promotion-series might be going on, it becomes even more ridiculous to ban so quickly.

Our lee sin kicked braum's sheild into braum's ass.

Everyone else gets the good lee sins. My lee sin went support and then told me to stfu after I told him to go help mf who was struggling in a 1v2 bot lane instead of trying to tower dive a useless zed.

Ahh riot sent in the downvote goonies, classic.

Why do people think that riot sends down votes, and it's not just because their post is rubbish?

Hey, nice thread you got here sport. It would be such a shame if somebody were to... [cracks knuckles] downvote it.

Magical Player1 votes

Upvote matters? Downvote matters?

Your post brings nothing new towards this discussion Your topic of choice is nothing new IN fact it is under whelming You state a problem: Riot bans are too easy to get You state no solution: other than to "light up" which i assume means to lighten up Im not saying this isnt an important matter, but please bring more to the table than 2 short paragraphs that quite literally do nothing.

Ps. I do not care if you agree with me, this is my opinion

Sounds like you need to gather up people with that kind of mentality and play custom games with them. And I'm not trying to be condescending here, I'm giving you an honest advice based on my own experiences with custom games. If everyone is in on it's great, but you need to have enough social awareness to know that what's cool and good among like-minds isn't necessarily acceptable on a regular setting. Like, I really love black humor, but I don't go around people I just met telling dead baby jokes.

tl;dr make a toxic club and play customs with them
