Petition for Marine (Adult) Mode while playing League of Legends

Very simply stated, I'd like to be able to play without worrying that my language will get me banned and I have no issue playing with others of a more "salty" variety.

I've been in the Marine Corps for about a year and a half and in my down time I really enjoy a game or two of League. In this culture every other word is a cuss word but none of them are meant rudely, it's just how we speak. I can understand and appreciate that many of the kids and young adults playing this can't handle and don't want to hear my language so can a new variation of the summoners code be made for adults that choose to use it? In my opinion this could be just for randoms so as not to split the ranked community. Another major benefit to having a mode like this would be a reduction of false abuse and harassment claims, a "cleaner" community for the regular crowd, and fewer people hearing harsher words that they'd not like to hear.

All i'd like to see in this mode are the removal of the option for verbal harassment and abuse claims. Because lets be honest, every time someone hears btch, fck, or *sshole, and don't like it, they use those two reports to punish that player. Some people might be asking why anyone needs to use those words, and i'm not saying they NEED to, but it happens and I think adults that can understand that and take it as humor shouldn't be punished.

I understand your intentions with this game mode but you also have to think about and take into account how people would abuse this. People wouldn't just use curse words. They'd berate others with insults and extreme toxicity that no human being should have to put up with. Of course you could just argue the fact that they don't have to play that game mode if they don't want to experience those types of things. Which is true, if someone didn't want to risk being subjected to those types of insults then they could just not play it. But then people would look at riot as a company, a company that chooses to "promote" in a way that level of toxic behavior. In this day and age where people are killing themselves over online bullying and where people are just more generally accepting and caring of one another for league to do a thing like that would be signing their own death certificate in social media. From a business standpoint this game mode you want will most likely never come out.

as a former US Navy Sailor I'd like to say, Fu ckin A. Also, I do think people in general are a little overly sensitive about stupid things (bet you thought I was going to say sh it but I restrained myself and said things instead :-) but seem to cower and pass on legitimate issues.

It would be nice to have a mode where I can use my sailor vocabulary without worrying about some kid reporting me for it. I actually have a rule of not cussing in chat but there are times I'd love to say "fu ck yea awesome job", or "I think the enemy team just pissed themselves". I don't usually insult someone and the Very Few times I have were only in response to constant harassment from a troll.

Basically though I don't really see a problem with cussing (true it tends to show a lower vocabulary and there for a lack of intelligence But it's a video game... I don't expect to meet gore vidal on the rift). So yea I'm in favor of a queue option that is adults only.
