What does the ''Unskilled player'' report option even do? RIOT PLEASE ANSWER THIS

HERESINCE MAOKAI··3 votes·1,828 views

Every now and then I get the occasional 0/20/0 potatoes in my team who never listen to the team calls and just wonder off and die. I always report for negative attitude just cause the unskilled player report doesnt do shit. Can there be a real penalty that will prevent me from getting matched with the same people again?

Nothing. It literally doesn't do a single thing lol. It is there as a vent for your frustrations, nothing more.

This is peculiar, because I've always heard that if you get enough of these reports, it'll drop your MMR.

if you get enough reports for being unskilled, it would eman a lot of people reported you after losing a lot of games, which means your mmr drops anyways.

i think its just a filter mechanism to sort out a lot of reports that were just done out of frustration over lost games.

No lol. It literally doesn't do a single thing. Much like reporting someone for intentionally feeding. The only reports that actually even go to rito are verbal abuse, offensive language, and negative attitude.

"This does not affect ranked matchmaking or players ranked Elo/MMR"

i really hope it affects mmr. cuz i tend to reporyt people as unskilled if they were unskilled but did nothing wrong, didnt flame, maybe even apologised after game.

unskilled, but did nothing wrong? if player is doing everything right, he's damn faker.

i mean did nothing wrong in different meaning. you know, didnt flame, didnt blame, were friendly and tried the best. why people here are tend to see everything trough their own glasses.

Friendly player who are trying to play his best will listen to advices, will build right items and will play correct. Right items, right played -> cant be unskilled. No flame, but don't listen to advices -> Refusing to communicate.

Imho player that you described can't be unskilled.

well, it can. i dont say he is unskilled in general. he may be unskilled in the level he plays, but be skilled in another. so i reporting in a hope they wll get more favourable opponents for them. but i didnt know it doesnt affect a shit. i am unskilled against diamond but skilled against bronze. well, maybe i expressed myself wrong, but thats how i understand that report :) maybe i was wrong

May be. This report option is too subjective.

It's noob bait. riot said "it doesn't put them into the punish system but does give us statistics that we might do something with someday" rito.

that was para phrased a little but is pretty close to exactly what they've said about it.

All it does is allow the reporting player to vent. There are no consequences to being reported for unskilled.

Nothing dangerous for reported player. This option is made for fixing matchmaking system.

It actually drops your MMR a bit in normals, not sure if the same goes for ranked, guessing it isn't the same because people could just drop everyone's MMR for no reason.
