Valorant

People have been reporting me non-stop and I've been banned twice already for what. The game is a good game, but it should fixed. I only got 1 day back into the game but got banned and I did nothing.

Insane
January 5, 2023

Thank you riot games, you made up for every toxic player, every bug, every painful moment in my 7 years of league "enjoyment". Just before the end of Season 12 your FLaWLeSs matckmaking, your beautiful company and game intruduced me to someone unbelievable. You deserve my 5 starts, keep it up.

A disgusting experience... Everybody flames you, but if you flame them you get chat restricted.

Most of the champions are broken as $#*! (ex.: Aatrox 2/11 and 2 items can easily kill the ADC 9/2 with two items and 2 more champs + broken healing)

Garen tank, with negative score, is deleting the ADC with just a combo and the ADC it's almost full set.

Jax and Sett are overpowered with one item. You can't stand against them.

You can't even motivate your actions because you don't have a chat window where you can write something. You simply need to click "I understand". Typical as in communism. They said: "We want you to be stupid. No matter what, you need to say YES SIR".

If I could I would have given them 0.2 stars.

The game can be fun, but it needs to fixed.

Go to Hell, Riot Games!

P.S.: I'll sell my shares bought at Riot Blockchain in the near future.

Recently had an experience with customer service regarding league of legends that was not resolved. My account was unable to be restored after getting transferred to a different backup email (not one of my emails but someone who had my information).

Once the client is installed, it does not come with uninstall, requires special third party programs to uninstall and still leaves a ton of logs and keys. It is basically made to stick to your system and can't be fully removed. Its a good thing that I have just booted a fresh operative system since I now have to wipe everything (and we are talking 100% wipe with no beckups, I will lose files since I plan to treat it like a virus it is).
Giving this piece of sh1t one star is sickening as much as their spyware client is!

Fu(k you Riot, you (unts! Eat a fat one!

I have been playing this Game since 2013. SInce then i have had 4 accounts banned for "violating community guidelines in chat". When submitting a ticket and asking for the exact wording that violated such standards I'm met with " we can't disclose that information". For instance my last match, Top lane made the comment " pls dont feed" as he goes 1/5. Al that was said was " ok 1/5 lol". He responds with verbal abuse and flames the entire game. But I get reported and perma banned for say "ok 1/5"? Riot wonders why they are dropping off and this is the reason. They have Created a Community of toxic people who throw a fit and cry over the smallest things. I will not be making another account. I wouldn't recommend anyone downloading or even making purchases in this game. Save it for something more worthwhile. League has another 2 years at most before they become a relic. Was Fun for the first 3 years now its like watching a dumpster fire. -4/10 wouldn't recommend. If I could leave no stars that would still be to good of a rating for this sorry excuse for an organization.

Piece of trash
September 12, 2022

Easily the stupidest and most unhelpful company there is, unreasonable bans, $#*!ty servers, and specifically for league, easily the worst con artist of a $#*!ing game there is, no tech support what so ever and I was banned for 14 days for saying "GG", by far the dumbest $#*!ing company alive.

Kys my $#*!
September 9, 2022

This company is a piece of dog $#*!, I beg you, please, do not start playing any of games, that are hosted by Ma Huateng and bros. You will face a very $#*!ty balance, bad community, stupid teammates, absolutely useless premades, you will start spending money on skins, that cannot be sold separately, you can sell them only by selling your account. The best part of games like Valorant and League Of Lox is their balance section. Riot games really wants you to kys, so, won't even try to add any logical sense to their updates. They do not give any $#*! about really important things, all they can do - is fixing self-report bug. Of course, i'm very thankful for that, but, you know, I do not thing this was the main problem of those games. I do not want to talk about this absolutely cringe community, but, I must admit, I'am a part of it, because, you cannot just quit those games, yeah... But yeah, about the community - this community is not the worst, no no, the worst are the dota 2 players, but, sometimes, LOL community can be even more annoying, stupid, and cringe. Valorant community is compiled of stupid fabric workers, even more stupid and annoying kids, and, of course, the last but VERY not least, sweaty $#*! jobless clowns, who can spend all their day playing this bull$#*!.
Of course, you are not getting at least decent teammates. Thanks to the dog$#*! balance, at least one guy in your team will throw, because he's lower rank or hands from $#*!. So, yeah, and, do not forget about one exact player - TavoMamaStora. If you will see him in your lobby, you must know, that he is very good player, top 8% in this game, has very good aim, unbelievable strats, very fluent mindset, and, of course, he's very friendly.
So, if you are not playing with him in party - don't play it at all. Merci, Adios.

My daughter began playing this game a few months ago. She plays probably a few times on the weekend, anyways today on labor day she was flooded by 3 different players wishing rape on her. She got suspended for reporting the players while the other 3 players wishing rape on her didn't receive a single penalty. As a father i don't feel comfortable with rape comments towards my underage daughter and i don't think any person with a brain would think that's acceptable. Anyways we uninstalled league of legends since it seems to be run by riot games a pro rape company to minors.

I wanna talk specifically about League of Legends, one of their "best" games. The entire gaming LP and ranked system is rigged to keep you down. Its 100% flawed. Their system for restricting chats and eventual permanent banning of players accounts is not focused on helping others improve, but also to keep you down so you'll make multiple accounts, become addicted and continue playing. You are just clickbait to them and your attention is their product. Screw Riot. I'm done.

SYCKE! :D I was joking.
Riot is one of the worst company in the world right now, but most of people are actually perfectly fit for this type of games.
Let me explain.
The world is a cancerous place that honestly just need to destroy humans as soon as possible, and riots perfectly represents humans. They are a cancer, and everyday, there is a hope that actual cancer kills their CEO, employees, players and their families:)
Every time they make a change to the game, or add a new game, they do it with the explicit intention of making people addicted to their $#*!, and hopefully get some money out of it. There is absolutely no interest in making fun games, all they want is to be the most representative of the ugliest and most horrible parts of human soul.
I can just hope that as many people as possible are putting efforts in praying that anybody who works for them dies of a slow and painful death, most excruciating, with most suffering coming from see who they love dying first, and taking in all of their pain.
Maybe they can even hope for salvation a little bit, to make their plunge into desperation as deep as possible.

I cannot even describe how bad this game has become over the last 5 years it's unbeliavable. All that this stupid $#*! company cares about now is leeching your own money for some goofy $#*! cosmetics and not fixing the real problems in the game and client itself. It doesn't matter how much the community complains or does in hope they fix this it will never work because the higher-ups of this company don't care about the community but only the money they are receiving to this seriously bad and addicting piece of $#*! game

People are constantly banned for small banter. In what competitive environment where you're allowed to communicate with the opposition can you justify banning players for arguing. That doubles when considering how it's a team game. It's ridiculous considering how big this company is. The support system is just the tip of the iceberg of the problems with this game developer.

Terrible company. They don't care at all about their playerbase. It's almost as if they are purposely trying to make their games horrible. I have a working theory that they only employ people with brain damage.

RIOT is a FRAUD
July 19, 2022

This so called top game developer RIOT is only of the most worst game company. DECEITFUL, RACKETEERING, DEFALCATOR, MONEY SUCKING MAGGETS... trolls everywhere ruining game throughout the season never gets banned. BOTS in ranked there used to be 1 bots now after the maintanence there is bot bots involved in every game. 100% game 100% bots... These incompetent third grade game company riot are very good at imposing banns and penalty to those people who are innocent. They disrespect normal players who wants to have good time playing.

They put trolls and bots in ranked to make us lose LP and make sure player remain below...
And sends feedback as if they are going to do anything about the opinions.
RIOT company is a fraud company... DOnt spend a penny to this trickery... not a single trolls nor bots account gets punished. Remains untouched.
I wish this company gets a law suit for deceiving and involving in tampering hacking bots and trolls in ranked.
The developers of RIOT. Fraud i guess your life and lives of your family is running smooth and lavish with the money you earned from trickery deceiving... HATS OFF

All you see in this game is ni**er this and that, go kill yourself and so on. Riot does nothing to stop this, riot is so lazy in fact the people trolling you and calling you names can actually report you, you will get banned even though you have said nothing. I have tested this on 7, yes fking 7 accounts where both teams are muted, get to the end of the game to see some kid raging at me for no reason then im banned. This community is a rotten trash panda community and tbh they should be taken off the gaming platform entirely. Ive added hundreds of names to a list that have gone on for 30 min in a game saying nothing but ni**er this and "go kill yourself", they are still active and playing to this day. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY IN ANY WAY.

Only a company so in love with themselves would be so utterly incompetent at developing a game whilst simultaneously developing a culture of degrading women and even molesting them! They are completely self obsessed and believe because they make loads of money, they must be doing something right! I truly hope every high ranking member of this company rots in prison for the rest of their lives whilst they perform felacio on the nation of china. They refuse criticism, they ban contractors from their events simply for speaking their minds. They are truly and honestly the absolute worst kind of people that could ever run a company.
