Thank you! Any chance I get to see the results? I'm so curious!
No word on that yet! We still have to do a lot of work internally before we decide something like that, but I definitely feel super happy about the way we went about it seeing a community effort with a similar approach :)
Hey OP, I wanted to say that you did a great job with this! The visualization is super clean and easy to read and the questions you asked were on point. I'm an analyst on our Player Dynamics team and have a survey out right now that has a number of parallels to yours. Great work!
Move on insinuates there is a place to move on to. Where? From the OP:
it’s a pretty commonplace thing on EUNE but these two flamers were extraordinarily abusive.
When you tell someone who regularly faces abuse to move on from one instance and on to the next, and on to the one after that, it creates a dynamic where the abused party is told to keep trying new lunch tables rather than any number of tables making room for them.
Perhaps the misunderstanding is because Riot's on-the-tin philosophy is inclusivity, not "remediating chat restrictions for women." They likely want every player to enjoy every feature of the game they maintain.
On to personal snippets:
If you learn how to not take words so personal
If only it was personal, at least then the problem would be specific enough to not experience as often. This wasn't incited over a personal matter, it started because of a username and its underlying, implied identity.
This is also another 'move on' situation. What should she take it as? A joke? A compliment? Banter? Another example of those wily EUNE boys being boys? I would suggest the notion that it is less healthy to repress feelings of extreme discomfort over something a person said to you, trying to fit a template of the "can't phase me' archetype, than it is to just be upset at upsetting things.
Further more seems to me like additionally pursuing this even after simply reporting is a bit vindictive behavior which is also not really good for ones health.
Wanting a solution better than "report them and move on" is not vindictive. Especially when the OP even feels like this: "I’m sure they keep doing it each game they spot a female player." There are so many other motives OP could have for reaching out than 'revenge' or 'being validated.'
I was just curious why you think that advising someone to take care of their own health is not helpful advice?
You're conflating one philosophy for self-help as the only solution, when there is no clear & discrete solution. That is why support is so important, to uplift sufferers while everyone works together to figure out how the fuck to solve this misogynistic mess. The mode suggested by 'move on' is toxically individualistic and pertains to the notion that you are somehow responsible for the stones thrown at your own identity.
Perhaps dumb fucking gamers being vile should be treated as a real issue and not a support ticket? That gets close, I feel, to what MoriGrl is putting across.
Yeah. I had something similar to this and deleted it because I was frustrated. But this, too.

The question the OP was asking was “how do I report someone in all the ways I can for behaving really, really badly in game?” That’s a perfectly reasonable question, and not “vindictive” at all. She had a really bad experience, she wants to make sure it gets brought to someones’s attention in all the ways it can. Filing a Player Support ticket because someone treated you especially badly is in no way bad for your health. I’m not suggesting she should vindictively hold onto this forever, I am saying that “just move on” is not the right answer to the question she was asking. “File a support ticket” is.
Read moreHey, just wanted to hop in here because some of the comments are pretty upsetting. The best thing you can do here, as someone else said, is to file a ticket through the Support website. There should be a place where you can upload screenshots and reporting at the end of game shouldn’t prevent you from doing so. If you are having trouble doing that, please PM me and I’ll help walk you through it.
My Reddit name is the same as my in game name so I encounter this kind of behavior pretty often (was... not worse, but different, before I also had Riot in my name). You are absolutely within your rights to report this person and also to be upset by this. No one should have to go through this and just resign themselves to it because “that’s how games are,” in League or any other game. This kind of stuff feels awful and “ignore it” and “move on” are not helpful advice here. I hear you.
Read moreHey! I'm the person who works at Riot who was in charge of this survey. First of all, thanks so much for taking the time to respond - we do consider this survey very serious and important, you're correct.
The other person who responded was correct - this is standard procedure for asking questions. The demographics section of the survey is based on a few things, including the U.S. Census and some more global, inclusive practices around collecting demographic data. If your concern is that the actual term being used here is offensive in some way, that might be a problem with localization - please let me know if you think there's a more appropriate term to be using. I'd like to understand your exact concern and see if I'm able to address it. Thanks again!
ETA: The other part of the conversation above is also correct. The reason we're asking those demographic questions is so we can understand the different experiences that different kinds of people have in the game. This lets us look at...
Read morecongratulations on your wedding, you two look so happy together! it's always so, so nice to hear stories about how games bring people together. i hope that league and other games you play continue to bring you lots of happy moments with your friends. if i were an artist i'd draw you a picture but i am not so i offer you this simple heart: <3

Here it is, my magnum opus:
DEMACIA, AT DAYBREAK
The sun begins to rise, its rays cutting through the morning haze. The smell of bread fills the air as bakers prepare to open their shops. Children began to wake for school. And in a courtyard in Demacia's capital city, one man in commoner's clothing practiced maneuvers with a greatsword, while another in full plate offers suggestions, adjusts his posture, demonstrates with his own weapon.
After a particularly challenging set of exercises, the smaller man lowered his sword and leaned on it, breathing hard. He wiped the sweat from his brow, and smiled at the man in plate. "Well, what do you think?"
"It may not feel this way, but your form is beginning to improve, my friend," said Garen, watching the man in front of him attentively. "Though maybe not as much as I'd expect. Have you been practicing daily?"
"I've been trying," said the smaller man, with a hint of a whine. "It's difficult, with so much going on right now. I don't al...

sadly, this bot is banned from the subreddit, as I found out whenever i tried to tag it in response to every single one of cactopus’s posts for a day. however, i will do it myself, since i aspire to be the most player focused memer in the world:

do not do this
?
does the purple hair imply that kai'sa is the mother? do kai'sa's void powers cancel yasuo's wind powers (no wind in a vacuum) or do the opposing forces join and empower them? is there a word for when children are born in runeterra without any of their parents' extraordinary powers, similar to squibs in Harry Potter? if kai'sa is the mother, shouldn't they have four kids, and what will the final two be named?
I just woke up. 6000 upvotes . Divine sword skin where
