We had a request for League of Legends Tribunal highlights, and SynCaine linked to a guildmate’s post. I clicked a few “warning” punishments from my case history, and this one stood out.
You can view Tribunal records even if you are not a logged-in LoL player, but just in case this link does not work for you, let me give you a transcript of what the reported player said in the first game. The below transcript, plus being reported 14 more times in 4 other games, will get you a warning. The language used is likely inappropriate for workplace reading, but then you are already at an online gaming blog.
The following edits out other players. [Updated to add a link explaining for people who thought “SMD” might be a piece of LoL jargon.]

This gets you a warning. My two potentially reasonable explanations for that are (1) this is below the average toxicity for LoL players; (2) the personality change at the 20-minute mark perhaps suggests that someone else was playing the account for the rest of the game, rather than the usual player.

Yeah, “my brother got my account details” is the oldest excuse in the book. I’d go with the first reasonable explanation.
But it happens mid-game, as if he had to leave and asked his roommate to finish the game for him. The first invitation to fellatio appears like the wolfman at the full moon.
Some drugs take a little bit of time to kick in?
People with severe personality disorders don’t pop out the bat-dung crazy 24/7… something on screen must have triggered the reaction…
What exactly did this unique snowflake get his warning for? Was it, the racism, the sexism, the homophobia or the atrocious spelling?
Or perhaps the profanity? It’s an embarrassment of riches in terms of a target-rich CSR opportunities.
You could hand that chat log out at training sessions for CSR in a ‘count the number of problems’ exercise…
Its like looking for Waldo in a room full of nothing but Waldo clones..
It’s not just gratuitously offensive, although it is that and then some. It’s flat-out weird. Is there some tradition of ethnic conflict between Taiwan and Mexico of which I was hitherto unaware?
And can you play LoL with the chat off?
I know of no conflict between Mexico and Taiwan. But I have seen people very often who launch into tirades suddenly pop out a ‘I’m a member of minority X so I’m allowed to be like this’ card, as if that was ok. They’re usually not…
Basically, playing somebody else’s race card.
@bhagpuss:
Actually, the /all chat is disabled by default… Yes, its that bad.
Seems like an upstanding fellow. English or gtfo. Pardon.
I don’t think you can fairly characterise what was in that chat log as English :)
The thoughts might be incoherent, but the text is remarkably legible English apart from some lightly masked profanity. It is strange that he felt free to type “dick” but “gay” needed masking. You know, in case actually saying “gay” would offend someone.
Rather have this guy than the Yi who RAN back to shop right after the teamfight.
There is this thing called mute. Not that I need it.
