[@pointyheadYT]

Don't blame them. Its the same with all game companies. I play mtg arena and a few months ago, after an update, a huge bugg was found. Probably one of the worst game-altering buggs I've seen in a competitive online game. A certain cheap equipment in the game, thats supposed to only do 3 dmg to the opponent, suddenly started doing infinite damage and one-shoting people out of nowhere. The game company WoTC instead of actually fixing the bug, decided that they'd rather ban the hundreds of players who happened to abuse it, which is crazy to me. You have to understand that a lot of those players have sunk thousands of hours and a lot of money into the game. Yet they'd now lose their accounts for a bugg a lot of them only tried out for fun.

[@batchynator]

@@pointyheadYT Some of these bugs have been in the game for a long time, the water walking ryze bug was a simple fix, but they just didn't bother fixing it, they just said that pros cannot use that rune, even though, without the bug, it's the best rune to use on ryze for that slot.

[@darkin1484]

There is a rule in the riot playbook that does not allow ryze to run waterwalking in pro play. Reason is, there was a bug where him getting ap resulted in him getting mana and mana resulting in him getting ap. That infinite loop caused him to gain power and essentially be vastly stronger because the code was not limited to a single loop. Several players got warnings for running it and not knowing about it :) Idk about fines tho. Several EU mids including Nemesis were and Jiizuke were warned for it tho :D

Unless the rules stated that "dont take advantage of the bug" then you can do whatever as long as you don't take advantage of it.

[@ggwp638BC]

The funniest thing about Vaevictus is that all of the girls were, in fact, sup mains. If you went to their stats back in the day, they were all playing support. They were also a team made at the last second including Plat players because the brand had the spot in the tournament but didn't have the players for the team itself, so they made an "all female" team with whoever was up for grabs - which is in fact quite disrespectful to the other pro players who take that as their career. Since the team didn't know what to ban against them, as none of the girls had any prior pro experience or had ever met them in SoloQ, they just looked up their mains and banned them. It was literally their only valid strategy and they got punished for it.

[@torrxknight2064]

That makes so much sense. "Noooo, you can't cripple the other team's ability to play by banning their mains!!" If you have a game with well over 100 champions, you can't have a good excuse to only main 1 or 2. What would you do if they ban them all? Lose? They exposed a weakness the other team had and wanted to use it to its fullest. They were there to WIN, not to "give them a fighting chance", which is sorta sexist to assume the all female team is incapable of winning or greatly hindered by a 5 support ban. They were playing with pros, and pros overcome challenges and adapt, which I guess Riot assumed the females were not capable of. Thanks for putting the story in the comments!

There a few instances where i strongly believe that an accidental mistake, like forgetting smite should not result in such a severe punishment. Basically if the shoe fits or if the crime fits the bill. They may have made a simple mistake, but that doesn't mean they should be treated as if they broke the law and got fined in a court of law. After seeing several incidents of companies abusing players of their being instances of unfair online rules or ridiculous punishments over simple mistakes or no justifiable reason at all, even some users being allowed to get away with causing trouble, i need to say gaming communities and companies should not be allowed to make their own rules at this point. It's becoming too chaotic and there needs to be a proper order to ensure that no one gets treated unfairly and proper justice is served. They all should be forced to follow a universal set of rules that guarantees fairness for both sides without bias no matter the company or online setting. If the player breaks a rule, then they are fairly punished, but if the company breaks a rule, they run the risk being blacklisted internationally, ex. product distribution suspended for a specified amount of time.

That being said, there is literally nothing against doing that, and if anything that type of behavior should be encouraged. It makes stories, and frankly I stopped watching esports, for good stories simply don't exist anymore. Like how epic would it be, if you did 5 target bans towards one player saying "this is all you got and your useless without it" just for that same team to get a revenge win and stomp. Or lets say they lose, but train hard and come back ten matches later and crush the people who called them trash. In sports you need good stories. So making a rule that you can't trash talk the enemy team through the form of target banning, or skipping bans is stupid.

Not to even mention, when you see the hosts PAUSE the game, that alone tells you they have the ability to issue commands to the server when they want, as they are NOT some 11th player connected to the server, they are the host and can tell the server to issue a pause like you see in this very video, just like when you're in practice tool giving yourself gold, thats literally you just issuing a command to the practice tool sever you are connected to to give you gold.
