Want to rage about your latest loss? Use the QQ thread. If you whine in GD, you'll get warned. ===== + Show Spoiler +If your [Stream] thread was moved to the general TL Stream subforum (aka SC stream land), find your thread and PM it to me and I'll move it back to LoL territory. I can argue with staff that moving a non-SC thread into a SC subforum is just asking for that thread to get buried.
- Neo, Dec. 15 2011, 6:33 KST I have admin approval. I'll be moving LoL streams back to the subforum. Stream name will be based on Summoner name. - Neo 7:07 KST |

If somebody picks a role in Q before you and you pick it anyway you deserve to banned, especially if you follow them around the entire game and troll them and ruin the game for every one else. It's one of the reasons the league community is garbage. I think it is fair. Unless you think random solo queu'er's are better than pros at their prospective roles... why wouldn't you put the best players in the best carrying roles? idk man. You don't have to be a better jungler than Saint to make it the obvious position for you to play though. Say I magically became good at this game and played jungle up to 2k. If I get into a game with Saint it doesn't make sense for me to suddenly switch over to something else. He might be the better jungler, but his off role is stronger than my off role so it's a net gain for me to jungle over him. If he really wanted to win he could give me tips on how I can improve while we play the game and I'd probably listen to him since he's one of the best junglers in NA. Of course, he'd probably just spam about how bad I am the entire game because the pro league players are mostly douchebags. I dunno, I'd rather have a terrible solo top and SV jungling than an average jungler and a slightly above average solo top.
Or Saint could help me out and make me a slightly above average jungler by giving me tips during the game.

Well at least this means I'll be able to see him feed at DotA 2 \o/ He's been trolling in various amounts for more than one game.

Well at least this means I'll be able to see him feed at DotA 2 \o/ I can probably count 100 games where SV has been complete asshat. It's not just 1 game.
the real question is where is his chance to be pardoned at tribunal x)

He did wrong, conversely, Riot handle this poorly in an amazing fashion. I can't agree with treating streamers in a better or stricter fashion then a normal player unless they are being sponsored by Riot I just can't agree with this circumvention of the system they themselves set up. They are undermining the very system they support. I can't abide by that it just feels dirty to me as I really do support the Tribunal and it's way of handling things the fact this happens undermines my belief of such things.
For four days of banning a "troll" riot has handed out a thousand new threads and posters against the tribunal. Real big mishap.

Saint was actually trying with his jungles, he was just trying to entertain.
Yet the people who are legitly being assholes still exist. "I don't support, switch or we double AD"
If they banned those guys like they banned Saint I would be fine, but they show up AT LEAST 1 in every 10 games. Where are da banz???
Also, Chaox banned from forums for no reason Zzzz but that's *exactly* what he got banned for. Had nothing to do with trying to jungle unusual champions. -Player A says he wants to jungle and picks lee sin, (he is higher in the queue order) -SV says "no I am jungling" and locks in trundle after lee has already picked -SV follows A around all game in jungle, sniping last hits, (and missing a lot of them to boot) -SV also whining about it all game If that's not "I don't do role _____, switch or I afk/feed/troll", then wtf is it? He wanted to jungle, someone else had already picked it, so he picks jungle anyway and trolls this kid (not to mention the rest of the team, two underfed jungles competing for farm, and a solo bot vayne due to no support pick) That is *exactly* what's wrong with solo q, and the LoL community in general. We get posts on TL here all the time complaining about the jerk who called top and threatened to AFK if he didn't get it. How is a famous streamer doing exactly that any different?
i think this is more or less where i was trying to get to. well said
edit: regarding tribunal: i've always seen it as being a method for riot to filter out the enormous number of reports that they get. NOT as a true law/trial system

And I am a firm believer that pro players should be judged harder than some random guy. Why? Cause they are the pros. If it's your job you have no right to complain if you get a legit ban even if it is for a minor infraction. People keep crying out for professionalism, but want their pros pampered. Want to make a better scene? Play hardball. Pros think they are better than you? Ban them. Pros think they can act however they want? Ban them. Riot needs to take less shit, aswell as ofc learning how to run a simple tournament (-.-, why riot why can't you do this simple thing). My dream is when every single E-sport team have a manager that doesn't play, only then can we see som actual improvement.

Because it is inconsitant. Even at relatively high ELO's every other friggen game has someone who does the exact same bullshit.
SV does it once and it is a four day ban? Like a quarter of the players I get matched up with in ranked should have four day bans then...
|
So then complain that they don't do it more often, not that SV got banned for doing it once. You can't argue for harsher punishment but say it's unfair to ban someone for what you want more harshly enforced.

It's the difference between being fair and being just. You obviously can't ban all the people trolling. So when a high-profile player trolls on stream, do you do the just thing and ban him for doing wrong, or do you do the fair thing and let him be handled through the same process as the other trolls (and get punished at the same totally unreliable rate)?

why did chaox's main get banned?

It's not somehow unfair or unjust to ban him faster than normal. He has 5k+ people watching him at any given time, which is a hell of a lot of people getting influenced by him trolling. Quick ban nips that trickle-down real fast.

That is how you run a buisness.

I disagree, the people watching saint's stream are currently not playing the game. They're not gonna then go into a game and mimic what he did right away. However, if someone trolls you in your game, that frustration is more likely to cause you to troll next game than if you saw it on saint's stream.

Sure it is, mostly because the standard had been set already. How is it fair to set a line and then supersede it whenever the hell you want? Is random justice really justice at all?
Plus, I actually enjoyed this trolling.
-.-

Streaming himself playing lol and winning tourneys is. Riot has no word to say on this and has no reason te by harsher on pros.

and no one has a right to Tribunal. it's not a justice system where you get tried by your peers, it's a way for Riot to lighten the load on their staff. yes, a lot of people get away with stuff because the system is crappy. but it's like the difference between vandalizing something late at night with no one around, and doing it in broad daylight in front of the cop. in the first case you'll probably get away with it, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get punished in the second case.

So in essence, he gets punished because among all the streamers that are currently online, he got unlucky that a Rioter was watching his stream and felt strongly enough to go and ban him.
I don't disagree with the spirit of holding high-profile streamers to higher standards, but I do disagree with being wishy-washy about it. If they really are going to make a big deal about holding streamers to higher standards, then they should formalize said standards and enforce them, rather than just using the idea of it to ban high Elo streamers seemingly on a whim.
