League of Legends Competition Ruling

Player: Christian Rivera / IWillDominate
Date of Ruling: 12.03.12
Subject: Suspension; Violations of Summoner’s Code


Facts:
Recently, IWillDominate was brought before the Tribunal for consideration of a permanent ban. The majority of players voted to punish and today the Riot player behavior team has approved the ban after review of the case.

IWillDominate has been in Tribunal nine times and punished eight times, including the most recent permanent ban. He has a persistent record of in-game harassment, verbal abuse, offensive language and negative attitude.

Despite the punishments and official warnings, his harassment score has risen more than 30% from early August to the present date, placing him at the top of the list of North American pro players and among the worst 0.7% of all North American players.

There also have been repeated incidents of similar behavior outside the game.


Relevant Rules:
The Summoner's Code establishes the standards of behavior for all League of Legends players.


Analysis:
IWillDominate has consistently engaged in behavior which violates the letter and spirit of the Summoner’s Code.

His persistent tendency to engage in verbal abuse and insults, his lack of cordial demeanor, and his treatment of less-skilled players is unacceptable for any player, especially a high-profile professional player who has a regular opportunity to lead the community by example.


Ruling:
IWillDominate has violated the letter and spirit of the Summoner’s Code in a systematic fashion.


Penalties:
IWillDominate is ineligible to play in the League of Legends Championship Series for a period of one year. This suspension shall commence immediately.

In addition, all other existing known accounts used by IWillDominate are permanently banned.


Basically this is the hot news that everyone is talking about. Seems like it needed it's own thread as it's pretty big news.

Edit: Neo's stance on the issue after talking with several Riot heads. No comment on players' union.

At least it will scare other professional players into behaving better in solo-queue

Wow, that's really intense.

It's a shame for Dignitas, who I feel was just getting into a fairly solid groove.

I applaud riot for this move and my respect level for them went up a ton. I've seen people on reddit defending him and saying riot has too much power and ruined his life. No, riot didn't ruin his life. He ruined his own life. He was warned 8 times and never changed. His case was totally preventable if you know he could control himself and act like a mannered and decent human being. He chose not to and got punished for it like he deserved. This is 100% on him and him alone.

Does this really need it's own thread? Seems like a waste when most people will forget about it in a few days or so. Now if you made the title less about one person, and more about the idea of banning professional players, you might have more of a separate thread worthy topic

And this is why having Riot controll all tournaments is not a good idea They have way too much leverage over their "pro-scene" it is really disturbing.

They have too much power in the game that they created and maintain? Okay then...

it's pretty clear this guy was a douchebag and he deserved his bad. I don't know how this has anything to do with riot having "too much power". If TLO was acting like a douchebag constantly I'm sure TL would step up and make him stop and eventually Blizz might step up.

This is the only instance where even our Dota-troll-mainstay implenia is right.

Given the insane amount of trolling and shit talk that goes on in high elo games, IWD must have been fucking awful to actually get reported enough to go to Tribunal nine times.

You're wrong.

His Main account and all of his smurfs may be done "for life" due to not ever being unbanned, but he can make another account for a "fresh" start. He stated in his reddit thread that his dreams of being a professional league of legends player isn't over, and that when the year suspension is up he hopes to return to the competitive scene, and until then will be solo queing to keep up his mechanics and to work on his behavior.

He stated he would continue to play League, try to keep up with the best and re-enter the pro scene as soon as Riot allows him.

Never let it be said the Tribunal does nothing.

Gamers in general need to realize that being a gaping asshole is not a right. Seems like a legit punishment, 8 warnings and all.

I don't see why Riot had to make a public announcement about banning him.
