Remember Dunkey?
Remember his video about quitting league? https://youtu.be/VjzgbZL12VI
It only has 9 million views.
I still am blown away by how childish Riot is as a company. When he asked to be unbanned to finish his video, being such a huge promoter of the game for years, they responded "nope, you're toxic".
Heaven forbid they have any class and at least say something like "Thank you for all of the work you have done on Youtube. We appreciate it but unfortunately we will not unban you...."
NOW, lets talk about perception. When Dunkey gets 9 million views from a video where he explicitly says that banning people for shit talking is stupid and the ROOT cause of the toxicity is the GAME itself, he gets praise and upvoted.
When a nobody idiot like myself who mains Aatrox says the same thing on the board, I get down voted into oblivion. However, I stand with Dunkey on this, and my view of this was always the same before I ever heard of Dunkey.
I will say it again--it shouldn't matter what you say in the game. 1) no one forces you to play B) no one forces you to have chat on III) no one forces to you not mute the player who says things you don't like.
Grow the fuck up. Its a game, the point of the game IS THE GAME. Not trying to micro manage peoples personalities and homogenize us into little drones who all play nice. Fuck that and fuck you.
Riot wants less toxic people. What a joke. They slap us in the face daily with their horseshit customer service and idiotic changes to the game. They take a huge fucking break right before season 8, which will debut not balanced at all. They bombard us with dumbfuck changes to champions, while leaving their pet favorites always strong. But worst of all, which is manifested in the game where now any CC kills you and everyone, even tanks, are bursting people down in seconds is....
...CHANGES TO THE GAME THAT TRY TO CATER TO THE MASSES DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY AREN'T THE HARDCORE PLAYERS WHO WILL STAY FOR THE LONG TERM. The way league used to be is what made the game. But for a few extra bucks Riot is happy to take a steaming shit on the faces of the players who have been here for years. Who cares about fun, or good game play right? As long as things are flashy and shit players can feel like they are good, THAT'S what matters right?
Instead of banning players for language, can we please ban most of the development team for dumb fuck ideas? Scratch that, I bet you its only 2 or 3 assholes with over inflated egos who want to cram their idiot ideas down the throats of the players. Egos inflated because they have equated monetary success with their ideas. Of course, that is nonsense BECAUSE...
a)large customer base due to entry into market at the right time 2)addictive game means that players keep playing despite massive flaws iii)Less competition in the online gaming world when Riot rose to power Four) Suck a dick Riot.
