In spring i noticed that in account transfer screen the icon of russia region includes not just russia, but also post soviet countries such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and others. I wrote to League of Legends support about this and said that i don’t like that my country is associated with terrorist country, but after long discussion support only said that all they can do is to forward my thoughts as feedback to the appropriate team. I belived that Riot might change somthing, but the days went and russia continued to commit genocide in Ukraine and nothing changed. Now when NATO and European parlament declered russia as terrorism support state, i decided wrote to Riot support again. I got the same answer, but this time i asked if i can reach someone from design team directly. Riot support replayed that there is no way to directly contact someone, but this time offered to try post my feedback on other platforms and maybe it will reach someone. So this is why I’m writing this post:
Evryone who supports Ukraine in this war, everyone whos country escaped from soviet union and who don’t want that their home be asociated with terrorist country who is committing genocide in Ukraine, shere these maps and these observations as much as possible and maybe Riot will see this and will take actions to remove soviet union map from their servers icons.

Russians dont even play league, only dota 2.. if you’re associated with league in russia you’re considered feminine. Might get bullied too

Karoce battlefield 2042 yra rusu botai su lietuviskais vardais xDD
Nes amerikonijoj su užjūrio istorija šiek tiek problematiška 🙂 Neretai ir krepšininkai lietuviai būna pristatomi kaip gimę ubagų susivienijimo sesijos respublikoj (ussr)
It’s not even about the war, why the fuck are we coupled with russia?
The server is CIS, not Russia only. In the olden days of yore lithuanians were supposed to play on this CIS server. That’s how GG.EU happened – a lithuanian team went to LoL world championship as a wildcard representing CIS region.
Later on, baltic states got their own regional league that was part of EU Masters circuit. Baltic league has been disbanded and merged into Polish regional. I guess being part of the regional league means that at least the e-sports division recognises baltic players as part of europe, not cis.
Georgia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan got off lightly here.
Eyo whatthefuck
in season3 lithuanian teams could compete in russian league (gaminggear got to worlds through this), later they changed rules to only CIS region teams, but i guess forgot to change icon since nobody really pays much attention to it.
Nu nes kitiems, ne-europiečiams, yra giliai pochui tokios šalys kaip mūsų. Tokia realybė.
Ot sūkos. Reik varyt į jų server’į intint.
