3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The sheer fact that this shit is still going on is exactly why I won't get into ANYTHING that Riot puts out. Their playerbase is fucking Vile, even in comparison to fuckin Valve's playerbase; and they've been talking about FOR YEARS trying to detoxify their playerbase. It never works. It categorically never fucking takes; the people Riot bans will come back on a new smurf, and then just start only stacking up in discord calls so they can still be as shitty and vile as they always were, just now it's under a log that Riot can't police.

It's not worth how bad the problem has gotten. They could've nipped this shit in the bud all the way back during Season 2 of League ranked; and they didn't, and Riot player toxicity has been metastasizing into this ever since.
