hello! I just cleared (nearly) all the replies to my old pinned, so I'm starting a new one. as part of that, I passed along ~150 potential inting cases to the team. thank you very much for your help in improving our detections.

if you want to make sure that I see something you send me, please make it a reply to this or link to it here. I can't make any promises that I’ll see or reply to all of this quickly (I try to enjoy my weekends too, I have a full time job, etc), but I'll do my best.

some tips to help me help you: if you include more information, i will be more likely to reply to your thing. please don't post random screenshots of people flaming you in DMs, I won't be able to do anything about that, just send those straight to player support. and if you want me to report your bug, please reproduce it in practice tool.

thank you all!

The Thresh drop for 2XKO is a good example of what can be done if things aren't leaked. If you give teams the space, they'll cook and make it a moment. If some doofus just posts it on their YouTube channel for clout, it takes all the air out of the room.

@afraidofwomen51 @rileymoding one of the hard parts of making rules is figuring out all the edge cases and how acceptable various tradeoffs actually are

“just ban X/just HWID ban X” is rarely a tidy and downside-free solution or we would do it by now

@devostitu @rileymoding thank goodness there are so many positive examples of what full drug decriminalization does for peoples' health and social outcomes

@Rodd22121 @drythex @rileymoding "eh, just spray and pray [that you don't hit too many thousands of actual human beings who have accounts with memories and time and money invested]" is not an attitude that would get you very far in our job interview process tbh

[Drew Levin @drewlevin]

@rileymoding sorry, another issue: this functionally makes “let someone else play on your account, ever” a permaban that sometimes you are lucky enough to avoid.

[Drew Levin @drewlevin]

@rileymoding edge cases with your solution:
1. shared family computers
2. PC cafes

both are pretty intolerable

Just closed this out, tyvm to @xogremlyn (and friends)!

For anyone who was in Sydney for the Riftbound tournament this past weekend: I am interested in getting a metal Jhin. If you have one and would be willing to sell it, hit me up!

@TheRealJuzzo1 @trickstabbed “u need to be shot” is against our rules because it advocates for violence against other players, so I’m describing the principle and inviting you to clarify whether you disagree with the principle or the application of the principle to the phrase in question

[Drew Levin @drewlevin]

@soIariaaaaa wait a minute 34 unique accounts on hardware hmmmmmmmm these are all yours surely

[Drew Levin @drewlevin]

@soIariaaaaa Again, I understand and sympathize with your frustration. I had two games with deeply frustrating teammates last night. But your reactions are your choice, and you have chosen to make a habit of doing deeply antisocial things - not just pings, but chat too - when frustrated.

[Drew Levin @drewlevin]

@feathercrayons @soIariaaaaa “mute them, evaluate the game through the lens of the rest of your team being interested in helping you win, don’t rely on them in the future, and refocus on making your best play in each moment of the rest of the game”

@Rodd22121 @Splorpss <0.0001%

[Drew Levin @drewlevin]

@TheRealJuzzo1 @trickstabbed do you believe that players should be allowed to advocate for the appropriateness of violence against other players irl?
