League of Legends Code of Conduct
As we continue to build League of Legends with our global community, we ask all community members to agree to the expectations outlined here. This Code of Conduct for League of Legends is supplemental to the Riot Games Terms of Service, which you must agree to before being allowed into any Riot game.
Commit to Competition
League of Legends is a thrilling competitive experience when everyone shows up to win. To have meaningful stakes in every match, conditions must be fair for all players. We believe that fairness means games are free from cheating, misuse of game systems, and all forms of harassment and behavior that prevent any player from playing their best.
Showing up to win doesn't mean restricting yourself to playing what's meta.Trying something new is a valid way to play—as long as you're still supporting your team and making an effort to win. Keep in mind this extends to your teammates: Even if you disagree with their playstyle, give them a chance and focus on winning as a team.
In cases where a player consistently fails to uphold this commitment to competition, we'll take action to protect the rest of the community and encourage that player to reform their behavior. As such, our warnings and penalties aim to address the specifics of disruptive behavior rather than being overly punitive or restrictive.
Behavior Expectations
To foster an environment that lives up to the values above, we expect every member of the community to commit to the following behaviors:
BEHAVIORS THE COMMUNITY REJECTS
Comms Abuse
Offensive language, hateful speech, sexual harassment
Cheating
Third party exploits, hacks, bug abuse, account sharing, account boosting
Offensive or Inappropriate Names
Player names, account names, group names
Intent to Lose - Leaving the Game/AFK
Disconnecting, AFKing, idling, refusing to play
Intent to Lose - In Game Behaviors
Intentional feeding, in-game harassment, sabotage
Threats
Out-of-game physical harm, emotional abuse, doxxing, bullying
Consequences
If you violate the expectations described here, we may restrict your privileges or access to features in our games. Restrictions serve to shield the community from future disruption, and provide an opportunity to reflect on the behavior that led to the restriction. We strive to provide a path to reform, but not at the expense of protecting the rest of the community. We also strive to restrict based on the disruption caused, and to avoid action that is needlessly punitive or harsh.
Consequences for violating the Code of Conduct can include (but are not limited to):
- Loss of the ability to use in-game communication systems
- Restrictions or additional requirements to access experiences such as Ranked queues
- Restricted access to social systems and features in any of Riot’s games
- Removal of rewards or content found to be obtained inappropriately
- Temporary or indefinite suspension from League of Legends, or all of Riot’s games.
