Game 1 Subject 5: Succ Subject 5: Wat Subject 5: Y Subject 5: Ty %%%%% Subject 5: Wolf camp Subject 5: Idk why an early game eve would attack an early game Shaco %%%%% Subject 5: k. Subject 5: XDDD Subject 5: I ganked for you and you did legit nothing so Subject 5: =L Subject 5: Bot is responsive tho %%%%% Subject 5: We need somebody to get sword Subject 5: ? Subject 5: Uhm lol Subject 5: Uhm lol Subject 5: gg

So I wasn't exactly being toxic, I remember the game going like this:

I was Eve, didn't want to gank but my team was spam pinging me. Shaco was talking shit in global chat, so I responded with: "Idk why an early game eve would attack an early game Shaco %%%%%." My bot lane got stomped on and fed about 15 kills, they blamed it on me because I couldn't gank for them while being 2 levels down. (Eve)

I ended up muting them, and just playing some more games without even thinking of this being a problem. (Let's be real here, even the boondocks makes fun of people like this.)

So my feedback to this ban: Honestly, I fucking laughed. Like, I couldn't keep the snickering down in my public discord. This is a bot mistake, right? I know that the word %%%%% is a hot spot for bots, just seems like a duo took advantage of the way that the bot responds to reports and I got nipped. That's pretty much my only explanation, because I don't think any human being could be responsible for this.

What about your pre-game chat? And the fact that this is a trend for you in almost all of your game, pre-game lobbies and post-game lobbies.

Pre-game: How many %%%%%%s does it take to make a %%%%%%, have a %%%%%%? But you need to have a %%%%%% to make the other 2 %%%%%%s have a %%%%%% But you need to have another one to make sure that the %%%%%% doesn't steal the other 2 %%%%%%s baby for rans I'm an expert on %%%%%%s

Racism - We aren't cool with it.

So yeah, any kind of racial slur (including those that are "lessened" by attempting to remove things such as the "hard r" or "hard t") is unacceptable in League. Those terms are highly offensive and the vast majority of the League community, as well as the plurality of the general population, considers them to be unacceptable in virtually all contexts. Of those contexts where it is acceptable to use such language, none of them include anything in a video game.

TLDR: Racial slurs are never acceptable in League. For any reason.

Its a racist comment whether it was said in a negative way to/at/about someone or not.

Man my wife would have a field day with you. And not in a good way either. Lemme ask ya man, are you black? If not, did you have a black friend who gave you a pass? Even if they did, that doesn't mean you can just run around saying it. In a game setting, no matter how mature, no company will accept racial slurs being thrown around at strangers.

In a work environment, you aren't going to run around using that word least you find yourself in the fast lane to unemployment.

You can't just go saying things like that because you want to, that isn't how the world works. I'm a white guy, 30 years old, with a black wife. You gain an interesting perspective on life married to someone of another race.

Let me see if I can say it like she did. That particular word, was used as a form of oppression during the slave period. It was used to demean and bring down the spirit of our dark skinned brothers and sisters. Their use of it now, is their way of taking it as their own. For another race to use it, is equivalent of making it appear as if they (black people) are still worth as much as they were back then.

Again, can't remember everything correctly about what she said, but the point remains is that it isn't okay to be throwing it around, especially so if your reasoning is that the game is boring and it is your way of making it exciting.

You aren't making the game exciting... You're just being a racist ass.

Riot is retarded for banning people for saying the n word, because it really isn't offensive they only use bots to ban. The bots don't even look at the context of how it was used. Retarded af... Also it's freedom of speech and you can say whatever you want, if somebody is offended mute them. Also %%%%% is even racist, the hard r is.

Lol I don't think you should use the boondocks as a reference. You say "even" boondocks made fun of it, as if the boondocks is a fucking kid show. It's adult humor, made for adults. (Well, probably targets teens too, but hell, I was watching porn as a teen, and that's obviously not supposed to be targeted at teens) what I'm saying is, it's an edgy show. In game, under Riots rules, I don't know why you would think being edgy is safe. Maybe you should play a grown up game like you said, or you know, not play games at all if you're so grown up.

You really gotta learn to determine what is appropriate to say in what environments. That hood shit isn't popular everywhere. It may be in your environment, but when you step out of your environment (i.e. into Riot PC land) you have to adjust.

Anyways, now you know. All you gotta do is not use that one term (I'm sure you know the other terms you can't use, but you don't seem to be about using hate speech, you just love that ghetto talk). Just think of it as a learning experience and come back exactly the same, minus one word. If you're too bitter over this, I would totally understand. I've been banned on these forums for some real stupid shit, and it's hard not to be bitter. But it's just a forum, idc. If it was in game bans, then I'd be pissed.
