So if you go around calling people F%%%%ts or the N word. Or any other form of Racial or Homophobic slur. Expect to be permanently banned by Riot even for a first offense. Such words are insanely offensive and have no place in this community. So please refrain from using them, in any setting even jokingly with friends in chat.

Why do you let words on the internet hurt you so much? .... seriously you only empower those words to cause pain.

I mean they don't offend me. %%%got doesn't offend my gay friend either. I think what people should really learn is how to mute people and get over it.

Only in the politically correct pussified world we live in today is this actually a thread.

Makes me sad, honestly.

An angry student walks up to his teacher, in class and challenges him to a duel. Shouting insults, "You're an old fool! You have no strength left! I will strike you down in one blow." But the teacher ignored him, and continued with his lesson, and when class was over the student left defeated and deflated with nothing. Another student approached the teacher when all the other students were gone and said, "Teacher, why did you not take his challenge, why did you let him insult you?"

The teacher responded, "If someone brings you a gift and you do not take it, To whom does it belong?" The student thought about it, and replied, "It belongs to the one who offered it." The teacher said, "It is the same with envy and insults: If you refuse to accept them, they belong to the one who offered them."

Don't accept the toxic remarks other summoners make. Do not even respond to them. Anything offered and rejected, belongs to the person offering it.

You have NO power over others actions. Only power over how you react to them. If you ignore and do not respond to those who use words like the OP mentioned, then in the end, they are calling THEMSELVES those words. While it may be hurtful to HEAR, or SEE, you can remove the power from the words TOWARDS yourself and give it back to them. The old "I'm Rubber you're glue", that you all heard in elementary school was taught to you for a reason. That reason, is because it really does have power. It is the power of your own mind.

I fully agree, the words the OP mentioned are hurtful and people should not use them, and you are welcome to report them after the match. But getting your feelings hurt and acting like YOU are a victim because someone used those WORDS, on the safety of the internet, is in itself, just as childish and JUST AS WRONG. And I myself am a gay man, whose two closest friends are gay black men. And neither one of them EVER gets offended when those two words the OP mentioned are used.

The point I am trying to make is this, and it is fairly simple. TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT!

Uhm, it's not a matter of how offensive it is, no one cares about that. It's a matter of entertaining a culture. If you use racism and homophobia as random insults, you entertain the idea that being black/whatever or homosexual/whatever is a wrong thing. And that can't be let happen. But the petty feelings of a guy who got insulted don't matter so much, or else it'd have the same punishment as other flaming.

It's not but what you do in the comfort of allied chat in your five man premade is legit none od your business.

Legit we call each other way worse shit in our five man premades. I hope.rito doesn't start banning people randomly with no reports, just based on the words used. It's all about the context.

Except Riot doesn't ban people for first time offenses using those words. It's nice to say but in reality people use the word "%%%got" in tons of games and don't get punished.
