I’m another player who is extremely skeptical about the reporting system. However, I don’t think that a player should be banned by being reported in a single game, as sometimes your teammates don’t understand the game, and report you for doing the right thing (like trying to soak exp, so you wouldn’t be at a talent disadvantage, while your team tries to take 4v5 fights without you).
I’ve also once had this game where my team was composed of absolute potatoes. They were just dying all the time early game, and they were not helping with objectives and defending. So I started suiciding - I just wanted the game to end faster. I did get reported, by both my and the enemy team. In the end I had 12 deaths. But I wonder did our Tyrande also get reported, as she had 10 deaths, without suiciding on purpose. Or did our Chromie get reported, who had less damage than me (while I was suiciding for half of the game).
I mean… I didn’t ruin their game with my actions, I just shortened the suffering caused by them. Cases such as this shouldn’t be punishable.
I also sometimes tend to swear, but not “targeting” my teammates. Like yesterday I had this game, where enemy Illidan was really vexing me, and was always on me when possible. And there was this moment where I used an ability that was supposed to get him off of me, but it passed through him, without affecting him, while he was jumping behind me. So I did say !%#$ing Illidan. But that’s not offending anyone (that can read it), it’s simply expressing my frustration.
So while I do think that actions should be taken when players are being reported, I also don’t think punishment should be automatic, and each case should be reviewed and judged by a person.
The N word is actually the official way to call black men in some languages, and usually when people with such native language use it, they simply mean “black man”, and don’t mean anything offensive. It’s simply cultural difference.
So just using it, without any offending context shouldn’t be punishable.
In fact, in my language, literally saying “black man” sounds stupid (and people don’t use it). But there is a way to say “black” (man) which is quite disrespectful.
she took. So its not from Valoraint, its not in LOL its not in Dota2… Where oh where are these gaming nervana’s you speak of.
so report and move on, people on the internet think they can get away with it because anonymity grants them a form of immunity.
