- No Personal Attacks: Do not insult, personally attack, or tell other people to hurt themselves or others. "The other guy started it" or "I was just joking" is not justification for insulting other users. Hate speech is prohibited. Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and other discriminatory speech will be removed. [Full description](https://reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_no_personal_attacks)
- All Claims Require Evidence: News on information unavailable or inaccessible to the wider public requires sources. Claims about or against distinct entities must have sources or proof supporting them and present them in an unbiased manner. Falsification of evidence will be dealt with severely. [Full Description](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_claims_require_evidence)
- No Excessively Sexual or Violent Content/No NSFW: Pornographic content, smut, or other content that is racier than in-game depictions is not allowed. Content that depicts gratuitous and graphic physical violence or gore is not allowed. When linking to NSFW subreddits or websites mark them as NSFW. [Full Description](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_no_excessively_sexual_or_violent_content)
- Don't Discuss or Advertise Cheats or Exploits: DO NOT: Advertise buying, selling, trading, sharing, or giving away of League of Legends accounts. Advertise buying or selling of boosting services, win trading, or leveling bots. Advertise or discuss scripting or exploits of the game, code, or where to find them. Discuss or post content showing how to use hacks or disallowed third party programs. [Full description](https://reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_don.27t_share_how_to_cheat)
- Posts Must Be Directly Related To League of Legends: Posts must focus on and be directly related to League of Legends: the game, the league community (fanart, cosplay, fanfiction, etc), and league esports. For posts related to personalities and esports, the content must focus on players/orgs interactions with the game and not their lives outside of it. [Full description](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_must_be_directly_related_to_league_of_legends)
- Specific restricted content (see rules for list): Short jokes, puns, or similar posts are not allowed. Longer, humorous content and relevant satire are allowed. All text submissions must have a minimum 100 characters in the body text. Posts that only consist of short title references like "Title", "^", etc will be removed. No tech support or account-related support requests/questions. This includes posts about personal bans. [Full description](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_specific_content_restrictions)
- Don't Address Individuals or Distinct Entities: This subreddit is here for users to communicate with each other and not just pass a message to an organization or individual without involving a major subset of the community. Posts must be made so that any user can participate in the discussion in a relevant manner. As such, you cannot directly address individuals, entities, or organizations in the entirety of posts made. [Full description](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_don.27t_address_individuals)
- Feature Suggestions: Feature suggestions regarding what should or should not be in the game are allowed, provided they aren't directly addressing Riot or using titles leading to a "Yes, No" answer that can only be replied in an official manner by Riot. As such, using wording like "Can we have X" or similar is not allowed. Feature suggestions must also be at least 250 characters in length.
- Personal Stories under 500 characters: Personal stories must follow our relevancy rules and exceed 500 characters in length. Sob stories and rant posts are not allowed. "Rants" are defined as hyperbolic, acerbic, or otherwise inflammatory expressions of dissatisfaction.
- Spoilers have to be tagged: Spoilers for the results of professional games are not allowed in titles for 24 hours following the match. Posts that contain spoilers in the body must have the spoiler tag. In the case of Bo3/Bo5 games in a tournament setting the spoiler rule will be lifted on the next day when either team begins their next game.
- Esports Content Restrictions: LEC, LCS, and major international event live discussion threads will be stickied automatically at the start of a game day. [Full description](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules/#wiki_esports_content_restrictions)
- No Vague or Misleading Titles: Vague, contextless, memetic, or inaccurate titles are not allowed. Titles should represent or describe the content of a post. Single word titles or titles that are majority capital letters are not allowed. Text posts must have a minimum of 100 characters that accurately describe the content of the post. Irrelevant content and text posts that are just links will be removed. [Full description](https://reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules#wiki_titles_require_context)
- Short duration content belongs in a text post: Short duration content can only be submitted in a text post. This includes: * All images and GIFs, excluding infographics. * Videos under 15 seconds. * Tweets are only allowed in a text post containing at least 250 characters. * Direct links to Reddit comments. [Full Description](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/wiki/subredditrules/#wiki_short_duration_content_belongs_in_a_text_post)
- Reposts: A post may be considered a repost if it covers the topic from nearly the same angle as existing posts. Frequently asked questions and topics will be removed. Please use the search function. Posts will no longer count as a repost at 1 month for posts over 300 upvotes and 1 week for posts between 50 and 300 upvotes. Please note that when multiple people attempt to post the same content in a short period, we may approve the one with the most traction and remove others.
Works well
- A text post of at least 100 characters sharing a genuine observation about the game, with a clear descriptive title
- A feature suggestion of at least 250 characters framed so any user can discuss it, without addressing Riot or using a yes or no title
- A sourced discussion post about league esports that focuses on how players or orgs interact with the game
- A text post wrapping an image, GIF, or short video with enough context in the body to stand on its own
- A text post of at least 250 characters that shares and discusses a relevant tweet, rather than linking it directly
Avoid
- Posting anything that buys, sells, trades, shares, or gives away League of Legends accounts, which the rules ban outright
- Advertising boosting services, win trading, or leveling bots, which falls under “Don't Discuss or Advertise Cheats or Exploits”
- Posting about scripting, exploits, hacks, or disallowed third party programs in any way
- Submitting a text post with a body under 100 characters, which gets removed under “Specific restricted content (see rules for list)”
- Writing a vague, memetic, single word, or mostly capital letter title, which breaks “No Vague or Misleading Titles”
- Posting an image, GIF, video under 15 seconds, or tweet as a direct link instead of inside a text post with at least 250 characters for tweets, which breaks “Short duration content belongs in a text post”
What r/leagueoflegends Is For
This is a subreddit devoted to the game League of Legends, and that focus shapes every rule here. People come to talk about the game itself, the community around it, things like fanart, cosplay, and fanfiction, and league esports. The rules even spell out that esports and personality content has to focus on how players and orgs interact with the game, not their lives outside of it. This is a big general gaming community, not a business hangout, so anyone posting here needs to show up as a player or fan first. The rules also show a community that cares about quality, with minimum character counts, evidence requirements, and strict title standards.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Start with “Posts Must Be Directly Related To League of Legends”, because anything you post has to sit squarely on the game, the league community, or league esports. “All Claims Require Evidence” matters if you ever want to cite numbers, trends, or news, so bring sources. “No Vague or Misleading Titles” will kill your post fast if your title is short, memetic, or unclear, and text posts need a minimum of 100 characters describing the content. “Specific restricted content (see rules for list)” adds more format traps, like the 100 character minimum for text bodies and a ban on short jokes and tech support posts. “Short duration content belongs in a text post” means images, GIFs, videos under 15 seconds, and tweets have to go inside a text post, and tweets need at least 250 characters around them. “Don't Address Individuals or Distinct Entities” stops you from writing a post aimed at one company or person, so frame anything you share as a discussion any user can join. “Feature Suggestions” is interesting, because suggestions are allowed, but they cannot directly address Riot or use wording like “Can we have X”, and they must be at least 250 characters. “Don't Discuss or Advertise Cheats or Exploits” is the hard wall for anything touching accounts, boosting, or third party programs. “Reposts” matters too, because frequently asked topics get removed, so search before you post.
What To Post
If you build something for gamers, the honest path here is to contribute as a community member, not a marketer. A good post is directly about League of Legends, has a clear descriptive title, and has a text body of at least 100 characters that actually explains the content. If you share data or make claims, back them with sources, because the evidence rule is strict. If you want to float an idea, write it as a feature suggestion of at least 250 characters that any user can discuss, without addressing Riot directly or using a yes or no title. Images, GIFs, and short videos belong inside a text post, not as bare links. Whatever you share, search the sub first to make sure it is not a repost, and frame it so the whole community can join the discussion.
What To Avoid
The clearest way to get removed is posting something not directly related to the game, so leave your general marketing content at home. Never post about buying, selling, trading, sharing, or giving away accounts, and never touch boosting services, win trading, leveling bots, scripting, exploits, or hacks, because that rule is absolute. Do not post claims without sources, especially news or claims about distinct entities. Avoid vague titles, single word titles, and titles in mostly capital letters. Do not post short jokes, puns, tech support requests, or account related support questions, including posts about personal bans. Do not write a post addressed to Riot or any individual or organization, and skip the “Can we have X” style feature request titles. Keep personal stories over 500 characters and keep them free of ranting or inflammatory language. Do not put esports results in your titles for 24 hours after a match, and tag spoilers in the body. Do not repost topics from nearly the same angle as existing posts, and use the search function first. Finally, remember that images, GIFs, short videos, and tweets only belong inside text posts.
