Why is it a crime to get mad in game?

I would keep posting in my last thread but apparently because I was making progress with ONE member of the crew and NOT everyone available it got locked by a bADMIN. Aside from this picture being a more fitting logo for Riot these days,

Why is it so acceptable to have player guidelines that allow Riot to selectively punish the victims of trolls/inters without punishing the inters? Whats so hard about simply having a "competitive" section where reports for verbal abuse physicaly dont exsist while then having a section for "4 fun" players who would rather selfishly play for themselves over their teammates?

Why force conflicting ideologies to "ban" each other due to conflict rather than simply have them separated?

You get banned for being an ass. You can be competitive without being an ass.

If you went to mini golf and constantly yelled "fuck you" and "deez nuts" at your opponents, they'd kick you out. Not because they are fascist, but because they have a business to run and no one likes having you around.

Don’t use pictures without knowing the context.

It’s made in response to Cowsep’s current issues with Riot Korea, centered in SOUTH Korea. The flag is a joke likening Riot KR to North Korea.

But riot does punish inters and trolls, it just takes longer to do so. by retaliating at them you become a flamer, which is also punishable. Youre no longer the "victim" at that point, but rather the aggressor. 2 wrongs dont make it right.

Also a seperate queue like that is esentially the player opting into toxicity, which riot is strictly against in any way or form.

Having a competitive spirit isn't the same as being verbally abusive. Like... at all. Being competitive is actually a healthy thing. Losing your shit when your team doesn't do well and establishing a pattern of abusive behavior toward your peers is NOT healthy. Abusive behavior is not and should not be excused just because you want to win « « extra hard » ». Players who want to use ranked as an excuse to be abusive don't deserve their own queue. They deserve to be removed from the community.

Calling people who want to play a GAME for FUN selfish has got to be one of the most ass backwards pieces of logic I've seen in a long time. It is a video game. Its entire purpose is to be utilized for fun with the only exception being if your income and livelihood relies on you playing it as your job. Ranked exists for players of any skill to see where they fall on the ladder. That doesn't mean players should stop playing for fun just because a game counts towards their position on that ladder.

You're not a professional. You're not master or challenger. You're silver. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But don't act like players who want to play for FUN are somehow the reason people have bad games or that "for fun" players are impacting your income or livelihood. It's not. And you selfishly demanding a separate queue so you can be abusive without consequences is, quite frankly, hilarious.

I get a message saying that someone was penalized like every ten games, I also report more than I probably should, but they still get penalized. Sometimes my teammate was just doing poorly and then got triggered by me asking them to trade lanes and decided to mute me because they expected me to get toxic then missed me enemy missing pinging my midlaner
