Post-game lobby standards

Archon X·11/6/2015, 12:17:08 PM·1 votes·401 views

So I think I'm pretty clear on what can and can't be said in-game, as far as being toxic, or rude to the enemy team, etc.

However, what are the standards in post-game? Can you argue with allies and the enemy team? Not saying "you're a scrub" etc, but perhaps placing significant blame on a player for the loss, as well as criticizing their champion choice and/or build? I've been reported for verbal abuse in post-game and while I think that I would probably get a violation if I had said those things during a game in /all, it is my understanding that post-game lobby standards are a bit more lax?

Also not referring to things that are never acceptable irrespective of context, such as hate speech, telling someone to commit suicide, etc..

The standard for post chat is exactly the same as it is in game. Personally I don't care what happens in post chat, I can leave whenever I want so unless someone is racist or something I am not likely to report them for it. I imagine that I am not alone in that. Many people leave right away so just on that you are less likely to be reported for w/e you say.

I would think most players would consider post game chat more laid-back, I'm not sure that I agree though. If you want to talk in a constructive way and the other players stays to listen no problem.

If all you want to do is bash them for pick, build, skill well then I think that takes it to another level, and should be reported and punished. If you don't want to make friends that's fine but why waste time after a game to belittle a person who you may never play with again.

There is a saying:

Their is his side Of the story and there is her side and the Truth somewhere in the middle.

but he was arguing back to me, so it was completely mutual

Since I have no desire to argue with you about something that could happen to most I'll just say Being that it was a mutual disagreement won't preclude either of you for punishment if it comes down to it.

Archon X, in the nicest way I can say it, I feel like you know how to toe the line and are on the aggressive side of things which may lead to some discipline you don't really want or need. So, I hope you can keep your in-game typing as neutral as you reply to me. And Thanks for this. :)

Oh, almost forgot...So did anyone official chime in on if post game chat is subject to the same rules as in game ?

I'd like to point out something that I have had a hard time verbalizing-- right now and since OP seems civil I will try and make a point, without pointing a finger at anyone:

So you said,

belittle is kind of a strong word

Under the circumstance of this conversation I will agree. Here is the thing though...You could have went a different way and went full board negative on me. In this context, I can tell you I meant no offensive nor was I implying you make nasty comments, only that some people do.

So, if you had taken it the wrong way we could be in the middle of an argument that neither of us wished to start. I summit to anyone reading this is why Riot doesn't support talking back to the bully. This is a good example of how comments could go off into jerkdom.

It turns into insult slinging and total fights that players don't want in the game, OP Thanks for being a good sport about it. And I think SmokeAlmonds answered well, as He/She usually does :)

In all honesty, after seeing your behavior here on the forums, I'm not at all surprised someone like yourself gets reported for verbal abuse. Now if only the moderators would actually start doing their job...
