Riot is doing a terrible job of dealing with racist slurs and racist users in the game...

I have been dealing with so many racist players lately, it is comical at this point. There are some people who just screams at me saying "go back to arabistan" just by hearing my accent. The funny thing is that I am not even Arab...

As a game developer, I myself know how easy it is to deal racial slurs in chat communications. Riot is solely responsible for not creating a system and punishing these players. You will only lose more players this way!

Edit: I have been exposed different types of racism all around the world. Getting a thick skin or muting them, however, is not the solution. This is a competitive game where communication is one of the biggest keys to both winning and enjoying the game. That's why Riot has to enforce what people can say or cannot say in their games.

I do not even want to answer to the dude who said "well, if you are a game developer, do it yourself". Clearly a teenager who knows nothing about how any kind of software product works...

My point in this post is not to find a solution from you guys. It is just to point out a big problem in this game and, maybe possibly, let Riot hear my voice. Thanks for upvoting the post.
