League of Legends is rated T for TEEN which NEEDS to mean that anyword that you find in PG-13 movies you could find in this game.

rated T guidelines based on profanity vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

> If you're sensitive to profanity, and to words like "st" specifically, then Teen-rated games are not going to be safe territory. While you won't ever hear "fk" (or any variations of it) in a Teen game, unless it's bleeped-out as it is in UFC Undisputed, you will hear plenty of words like "a**," "btch," "ps," "dn," body part terms like "d**k," and "tts", and variations on cuss words that include "hell" or references to god.

I believe that we should follow the rated T guideline if anything b/c the current system is broken as bitch (in the rated T Guideline)

> With the current system of the reporting system and banning system it is EXTREMELY vague in fact according to the summoners code anything at all that is negative is a 100% viable reason to get reported. IT STATES TO HAVE GOOD FEEDBACK BUT MAKES IT VERY CLEAR IT HAS TO BE POSITIVE ONLY

> so if you get a teammate who runs down mid while spamming his laugh and other emoji(tyler1 is that you) and says oops lag which you respond by saying "your a poop mc fart" according to the summoners code on this date you have made an infraction and at risk of bans,restrictions etc. (riot i know that i said poop mc fart but please don't ban me)

If you have any suggestions or just like my idea to have behavior base on rated T guidelines and not based on anything negative please help out. Thanks!

League of Legends the Game is rated T for it's game content. However, it specifically states that online interactions are not rated by the ESRB. Therefore your example of language use does not apply to its T rating due to that fact.

"Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB" - Warns those who intend to play the game online about possible exposure to chat (text, audio, video) or other types of user-generated content (e.g., maps, skins) that have not been considered in the ESRB rating assignment.

The game content (characters, environment, voice lines, etc) are rated T for Teen, but the online interactions never have a rating. Which is why a lot of games always have that disclaimer of "Online Interactions not Rated by the ESRB".

This also applies to the Instant Feedback system. It does not judge behavior based on the ESRB rating for Teen. That is irrelevant. It judges behavior based on what you violated from the Summoner's Code based on report feedback. Mostly this is due to behaviors such as in-game taunting; harassment, offensive remarks, intentionally feeding, etc.

The ESRB rating has nothing to do with how the Instant Feedback system works, nor should it since language and human interaction are ever-evolving and impossible to give a precise "Rating".

You are under the (mistaken) impression that the problem is the swear words. It really isn't.

Because he's laying a trap, and you don't have to feed the trolls. Negative chat will lead to more negativity in the actual game. I don't agree that I'm not supposed to talk back if someone is trash talking people in the chat, because it does matter who started and you can see it in the chat, not like it's 2 kids fighting outside with no proof of who started, but hey, these are the rules. If you want to play game X, you follow the rules of game X, or pick game Y.

I totally agree with you, the league busted and targets players who use "No no words" rather than trying to focus on those players who ruin the game by feeding and or trolling
