it's really really dumb, what they're doing...
However, this celebration has been marred by a disgusting trend of toxic behaviour from members of the community. Outraged by the skin's $500 price tag, these players have taken to banning Ahri in games, sabotaging matches, and harassing those who purchase the new skin or play Ahri. This behaviour is not only disgraceful but also undermines the positive and inclusive spirit that the League of Legends community strives to uphold.
Toxic Behavior
The recent actions of some players to ban Ahri in games, grief, throw matches, and harass others who enjoy the new skin are reprehensible. These behaviours do nothing to harm Riot Games but significantly impact regular players who simply wish to enjoy their favourite champion. This toxic behaviour creates a hostile environment that detracts from the enjoyment and camaraderie of the game.
In light of these events, the director of the renowned Ahri fan club, Ahrism, has said in an announcement:
"These False Ahri Mains, these traitors, now spread vile propaganda with one aim: to ban Ahri. They gather like a plague, spreading their hateful ideology, planning to sabotage others' games, and fraudulently report any of our people who play Ahri. They seek to poison not only themselves but also the broader champion communities, pitting them all against us. This hateful attack cannot and will not be tolerated."
A popular Ahri streamer, who wishes to remain anonymous, has also commented on the situation:
"I was like- I feel it's stupid- Not gonna lie, it's really really dumb, what they're doing... Like people online and stuff. And I'm sure it's gonna end in like ... a month or so, people are definitely gonna forget about it. But people always talk ... and when it actually happens they don't care."
Disgusting Actions from r/AhriMains
It is disheartening to see the community's anger over Riot Games' pricing being misdirected towards regular players. Instead of addressing the issue constructively, these players have chosen to create a toxic environment by targeting and harassing those who simply want to enjoy the new skin. This behaviour only serves to divide the community and detract from the overall gaming experience
The situation is exacerbated by the toxic environment in r/AhriMains. Even their leader, Canti, has openly encouraged bullying and harassment of members who purchase the new skin, blatantly violating his own rules. This hypocrisy and toxic behavior from a community leader are particularly troubling, as it sets a harmful precedent and further alienates regular players who just want to enjoy the game.
Adding to this, there are dozens of rule-breaking posts on r/AhriMains that are not being removed out of spite. This inaction from the moderators shows a clear bias and fosters an environment where toxicity is not only tolerated but encouraged.
It's crucial for the community to channel their frustrations in a way that promotes positive change rather than fostering hostility. By uniting in constructive dialogue and providing feedback to Riot Games, players can effectively communicate their concerns without harming fellow gamers.
Are you secretly H1tler this speech sounded very familiar.
