Why is saying KYS not a bannable offence? WTF RIOT.

OK i've been playing ARURF this weekend and in 4 out of 8 games, i've been told to KYS (2 of them in games we were winning), reported all of them, and none of those have given a feedback report saying this player was even chat banned. Why the hell is this not an instant ban? This is NOT acceptable behavior, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. This should result in an instant ban.... PERIOD. Oh and thanks for turning URF into a total clown fiesta with this ARAM style crap. Granted I'm still having fun, but CLEARLY a lot of people aren't.

You are over dramatic...why wouldn't you just mute them and even if you don't mute them why would you care what people are saying to you. You just can't let them get to you. Also just mute someone the second they make you scrunch your nose or even if they make your mood change from happy to slightly angry.

just means your report was not their final report. Does not mean they were not punished

This question gets asked weekly, if not multiple times a week. The answer is that it's not OK and never has been. Make sure you report the player and the system will handle it.

For reference, if someone says something like that on the Boards, we're directed to remove it with a 7 day suspension on the first offense. If they do it again after that, they're permanently suspended from the Boards. Riot takes this seriously.

The system is INCREDIBLY draconian.

What? it's under unsportsmanlike "Chat" The report system...[slayer-jinx-unamused]

So in a game where you literally KILL each other, you cannot ask anybody to kill themselves. A game where if certain champions kill themselves, they are actually rewarded by proccing a unique passive (Sion, Kog'maw, Karthus). I'm sorry if I find it a little troubling that people are so genuinely upset by this. I can understand being a little miffed, but a one and done ban is absurd. I did not even realize this was a punishable offense until recently because of how many times I have been told to kill myself by others in this game, but I've never complained about it. Maybe it should be a guaranteed chat ban for a week or something to get the message across, but I think a lot of people are blowing this way out of proportion, and this is coming from somebody who has struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts who also has friends and family that have struggled with the same problems.

I don't think they need to inform every single person who reported someone. However, a compromise could be if they kept the last 5-10 reports a person makes on file and sent notifications to them. I think it would increase the visibility of the report system working without overloading players or the delivery system.

It is, but only sometimes. There is no real consistency that is probably the result of Riot's trademark spaghetti code.
