The article in the post is written by Richard Lewis. He is really out to slam the /r/leagueoflegends mods whenever possible and a huge source of drama by himself.

[–]ghostgnomeONE MORE MOD REJECTED 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (59子コメント)

I am honestly surprised he's still not banned from /r/lol or even shadowbanned. This is not the first time he's been involved in drama, promoted witch hunts against the mods or disrupted the league sub.

[–]Csemmert 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Someone said Richard posted the same article on KIA, and Richard said that he was banned from /r/lol

[–]TehAlpacalypseShekels for my shilling 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

He did post the same article on KiA here. Richard usually butts heads with the mods but since he is the most recognized eSports Journalist besides /u/Thooorin_2 he has a bit of clout.

lol, even KiA is tired of RL's shit.

[–]lenaro 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (5子コメント)

He is banned from the sub. He was constantly harassing users, and even apparently dug through someone's post history to find them talking about suicide, just to use that against them.

He's a real piece of shit.

[–]tehSlothman 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (41子コメント)

I can't believe the /r/lol mods haven't banned him too. Every thread about one of his articles has at least five comments of his deleted by mods for personal attacks against people criticising his work, usually him calling them retards, and there are always many more borderline comments left up where he's still being a manchild. He really needs to learn to deal with social media and how to demonstrate some professionalism hehehe

[–]OverlordLork 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (39子コメント)

They finally did, a few days ago. This comment goes into detail about it. Not surprising that Lewis comes out a few days later with a conspiracy piece against the mod team.

[–]tehSlothman 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh wow I'm surprised I miss that. Jesus, that was crossing the line even for him. Glad they finally stopped his toxic crap.

Being told by KIA to cut back on the rhetoric and maybe try stalking people less is no mean feat. That's like having the KKK be embarrassed by your racism.

[–]bingren 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's the world's biggest perpetrator of the obnoxious "I'm not an asshole, I'm just honest, unlike all of those corporate whores!" shtick.

Every socially-capable adult learned the difference between polite, tactful honesty and insulting, inflammatory speech at the age of 14.

[–]jaynay1 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think he'll be shadow banned for this ordeal. He threatened to doxx KT and a couple of other mods, which is 100% a shadow ban.

[–]Jaraxo 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Unfortunately not.

He threatened to dox me a while back when I was a mod of r/leagueoflegends and we didn't even ban him from the sub. Instead he was "talked down" by another mod and nothing more happened.

Some of the mods there were that scared of upsetting richard and therefore creating more drama and risking themselves being doxed, that they let him get away with threatening to dox one of their own.

I'm glad he now seems to have been permabanned, even it did come months, if not years too late. I recall specific times where we had the votes in a modmail chain to ban him but the top mod didn't allow us to, and another time where we even went through a full internal discussion and vote on the topic that should have resulted in him being banned but a bureaucratic loophole was used to get around it. We (the general mod team) weren't allowed to contact or talk to Richard, only the top mod and one other mod were. Despite on several occasions the team wanting to and having the internal votes to ban him, the top mod wouldn't allow us to, or would stall discussion for a day or so until we moved onto something else, for reasons unexplained. I suspect that ultimately they were scared of the potential drama and doxxing of themselves.

Regular Joe could call someone a faggot, get warned, then do it again and get banned. A third time resulting a in a permaban. Richard threatens to dox and is continually toxic and gets nothing. He continues and continues and barely gets a warning. It tooks months of arguing and votes to get him to just that first ban.

This ban, if it is perma (and it should be, it's his second ban) didn't come soon enough.

[–]BuckeyeSundae 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

This is all true (give or take). Though I never intentionally stalled anything, I did prohibit mods from talking to or taking action on Richard until I could personally review what was going down. It was one of the few instances, due to our unique experiences with Richard, where I didn't think many of us could have reasonably unbiased views toward someone who had--frankly--abused us as much as Richard had by that point (and to be fair, initially we gave as good as we got). We were trying to move forward trying to give Richard a fresh chance, and I wanted to be sure we weren't poisoning that effort by bringing old battles back up over and over.

The ban is a permaban for persistent abuse. Normally I wouldn't be inclined to confirm that sort of thing, but Richard made it public himself so I figure that's in the public eye now. The WTFast story and more impending stories like it targeting us are no doubt retribution for that "unfair" action.

[–]KarlGeld 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

produce the evidence then

[–]fomorian 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You're the mod that stepped down recently, right? You mentioned not playing the game as a reason to leave back then, but did this whole drama with Richard have any impact on your decision?

[–]Jaraxo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was, and Richard didn't affect my decision in the slightest. By that point he'd already received his first ban in the subreddit, months after my interest in the game had started to decline.

[–]RockettheMinifig 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think it would help the mods by banning a person who promotes a witch hunt against the mods, for writing an article about how they shut down a video for witch-hunting that didn't insight a witch hunt, claiming it in-sighted a witch hunt.

It would then just turn into a battle of the mods versus him, a lose-lose-lose situation.

[–]SporkV 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

RLewis does everything in his power to tear down riot/ r/lol, dudes a immature manchild at best. which is a shame, because when he(rarely) does a piece that isnt borderline slander/whining, it's usually pretty good.

RL and Thoorin are probably the most recognized writers for LoL and they're both extremely unprofessional, RL attacking anyone personally that comments negatively on his articles and Thoorin spewing racist rants against polish people and several (maybe just Regi) League players.

[–]HipChaffBagPaid in shekels and Bill Shorten Zingers 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wait, wait, wait... you can be racist towards Poles? As a Pole, I'm shocked by that. Sure, we had to deal with Nazis (although as subgroup of Slavs), but besides that? Only "Polish death camps" come to mind.

I can finally claim oppression, I'm not as useless as I thought! Yay!

[–]bingren 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Pretty much. I managed to stomach reading Thoorin's work quite a bit longer than RL's because he's a better journalist and somewhat less of a massive asshole, but after the Polish debacle I stopped following him too. It's incredible how petty, narcissistic, and thin-skinned the two of them are. I would give anything for an in-depth LoL journalist that wasn't a raging manchild. Travis is a cool guy but he doesn't do the investigative/analysis stuff that I crave.

Can someone please define 'unprofessional' in this context. As far as I can tell they're not outright lying and therefore they act well within their bounds as journalists.

Not saying he should have done that, but how exactly is that him being unprofessional as a journalist?

[–]lolthr0w8008135 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (14子コメント)

He responded to someone mocking his journalism by linking a thread the guy made in which he confessed suicidal thoughts to make fun of him. He claims he didn't read that part.

He used that exact same account to post his dailydot story to KIA.

pls, the less people that know the better :c

I've never heard of this gnarsies guy but looking at how he talked to the mods and the comments he's choosing to reply to it's pretty clear he's encouraging drama here rather than trying to actually get his video unbanned. It doesn't help that this kind of software objectively does lower ping for some people (me included) and he's trying to paint it like it never works.

[–]bearjuaniweak dependent white man 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

you think I'm kidding, AD malzahar is ridiculous. Fully buffed your voidlings have 150% of your bonus AD and 1.5 attack speed, and you can have 2 of them out at once. If you have 300AD and you ult someone you can do like 2k physical damage to them through voidlings. You're basically yorick but with a silence and a supression, plus a metric fuckton of magic damage on top of your physical damage.

[–]SamWhite 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

No, I'm well aware. Good in the jungle apparently. While AD LeBlanc sounds like a joke, I once saw someone in ARAM devastate with her. I have no idea how.

[–]SamWhite 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm guessing it's far from optimal, even with the CC/positioning potential, and rather it was just because the person playing it was shithot. As far as I can remember it was something like Muramana-botrk, maybe a sheen item. It was a while back.

How on earth does adding extraneous travel distance lower your ping? It should do the opposite.

[–]bearjuaniweak dependent white man 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (4子コメント)

because it doesn't necessarily add extra distance if the route it was going to take isn't the shortest. Say your ISP routes traffic through 5 different exchanges but the vpn somehow skips 2 through 4 and goes in a straight line instead, you get a more direct route with less delays so your ping is lower in the end. Your ISP isn't always giving you the quickest possible route just because it would be nigh on impossible to do that when there's so much data to move.

This is my favorite Richard Lewis quote, from a few months back:

Sorry, it's the job of the intellectually capable to correct those less fortunate otherwise they become the dominant driving force in any discussion.

My second favorite is probably... this one, from the same thread. edit: direct link

someone: Professional journalism at its finest.
RL: What has this got to do with journalism?
someone: The part where you're a journalist?
RL: Well, if we're always at work, can I take this opportunity to ask you for a Big Mac and fries?

[–]Frosty2200 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

"No need to ask for salt with those fries." that got me. I was going to say I can sense the NaCl is strong with this one but well played other user, well played.

He is even here defending himself.... I'm now waiting for two things 1) him to say something to us O.o and 2) the ban from this sub, since you know, the drama is about him and caused by his comments so that violates a pretty main rule here.
