| Subject: Ugh: Riot urges 'League of Legends' pros to keep quiet on 'sensitive' issues Sat Oct 12, 2019 8:24 pm | |
| It doesn't want a repeat of Blizzard's Hong Kong incident.
Riot is trying to keep its hands clean after Blizzard banned a pro player for supporting Hong Kong protests on-camera. The League of Legends developer's esports head John Needham has issued a statement saying that Riot has "reminded" pro players and hosts to avoid discussing "sensitive issues" during broadcasts, including politics and religion. It argued that personal views should stay "separate" as there was no way they could be "fairly represented" in the space of a game tournament. There's not enough room for the patience and subtleties these subjects require, the studio said.
