This NEEDS to be addressed by RIOT. There are literally like 5 threads about this very case, hundreds of responses and thousands of views.

We need an official position. Is spamming /laugh or /joke bannable? TELL US RIOT. EASE THE SUSPENSE!!!

The point is not to troll, but to point out that there is a wide variety of thought on this topic about what actions are reportable.

If spamming taunt emotes is the fallback to verbal trashtalk for toxic summoners is it banworthy?
kk thx for confirming my question.

stupidity confirmed.

Wow. I can't believe someone actually got banned for using a feature in the game. This is why I no longer spend money on this game. Afraid of being banned for nothing and losing all of my time and money. I've never been warned, and I'm not a dick in games, so I'm sure I'm safe. But shyt like this scares me.

There is a large variance between what people think is ok and what is not...basically a grey area.

On one hand, emote taunts are a part of the game. On the other hand if they are used to get under someones skin is it really any different from various forms of trash talking? Some people think GG noobs shows unsportsmanlike conduct. Others think trash talking is a legitimate strategy and way of playing the game.

I am actually not arguing for either point here. I am just pointing out that this is something not everyone will agree on.
Sure you can report him. Your reports mean less over time, however, when they don't agree with the majority. There's not really a grey area at all. You simply feel it should be ok to have fun at another's expense.

I have yet to see a single pro team, in the middle of the match either type, or stand up and just talk **** to the other team non-stop. Funny how they can get to the pinnacle of the game, and not resort to in game trash talk and spam. If you need to rely on trash talk, maybe you should drop it and focus on your own skill and level of play.

I didn't miss your point. Your point was completely moronic that I couldn't respond to it seriously. I see no correlation between a Singed playing his character the way he feels is best to win the game for the team as opposed to "SPAMMING EMOTE" because spamming emote will win the game for the team of course.

No there isn't. Use your common sense, There is no grey area. I have over 800+ games and have yet to land in the tribunal. NOT Acting like a dickwad + using common sense is a good combination. Try it, it works.

You are starting to deviate from the point. That is, spamming in any form is annoying. Spamming emotes is no exception and is no way a form of trash talk.

That's because others have formed their own personal code and obviously do not agree with the Summoner's Code. GG NOOBS violates code #6. Prior to partaking in the tribunal, judges are asked to agree to make judgments based on the summoner's code. Therefore, we are not to judge based on our own personal code. If I were to judge based on my own personal code, I would have pardoned more than half of the cases.

I really wish the QQ about this case would go away. At this point, its obvious that GD is just looking for something to whine about.

Here is the bottom line: ANYTHING, and I do mean ANYTHING, that is done repeatedly for the sole purpose of irritating everyone else in the game, even one's on team mates is toxic behavior and banworthy. The fact that emotes are a "feature" of the game is completely irrelevant. You know what else is a feature of the game? Chat.

"OMG RIOT I CANT BELIEVE I GOT BANNED FOR TYPING INSULTS AND OBSCENITIES INTO CHAT WHEN CHAT IS A FEATURE OF THE GAME HURRRRR DUUURRRRRR."

The guy deserved his ban. Period.
