Reporting Players and Their Consequences.

Rueciel·5/3/2015, 8:25:33 AM·1 votes·774 views

So for the last few days, i have been getting many more (intentionally) feeding players and trolls who's only goal is to ruin my ranked game experience for their amusement. I have been in 3 promo series in the last 2 days, and in ALL 3 series, i had a game with at least one (sometimes two) trolls in it.

When i say troll, i dont just mean 'a bad player' i mean literally, they came in WANTING to cause a loss. For some reason i get more of these players when i am in my promo series than when i am in a normal ranked game. Its as if the system throws me with people 5 ranks lower than me (where the trolls reside) and expects me to carry them, is that the test? I thought the promo test was supposed to put me in games with HIGHER elo players than myself and see if i can succeed, not the opposite.

Either way, i have had to do a lot of legit reporting lately, and i find it difficult to even get the majority of the players in the game to report the troll as well. The enemy team (who was just given a free win) is just happy to get a win, and if anything, they refuse to report the player because they commend them for giving them the win.

When i report a player i always try to write a description, and i always do it legitly. (I try not to report players just because i am upset.)

However, it would be REALLY nice if i could see what my actions are actually doing. Are these players i am reporting even being looked into? I feel like i am wasting my time. It would be really nice to get a message when i log in telling me "You know that guy you reported a month ago for so-and-so? He was just banned for a few weeks."

At the very LEAST, this would actually SHOW players that people ARE being banned/suspended, thus making believers of the players of the system. If we could actually see that our reports are doing something, then it would make us legitly report more often instead of just skipping the stat screen and letting them get away with their troll or extremely toxic behavior. I also have had many players troll (even one yesterday) who just say 'go ahead and report me after this game, i do this all the time and i have never been banned.' If players were to actually see for themselves that YES indeed, you will get banned if you disrupt ranked play purposely, then that would definitely scare some people into playing straight.

I was just in a game, moments ago, and our corki took mid, clarity, clairvoyence. I had my suspicions that it might be a troll, but i said nothing because i did not want to agitate anyone and i gave them the benefit of the doubt. After the game began, he instantly ran into midlane, let the turret hit him twice, and then waited for the enemy to come and kill him. And then he repeated that again, and again, and again until the game ended. I reported this player (the name was ninabow). And yet, somehow, i don't believe he or she will ever pay for these actions. They will probably just have a laugh and then do it again tomorrow.

Yeah it sucks but its the system you see ppl think (well most of them) like this:* Im gona say im gona report him but im not gona waste my time on that scrub, i wont ever play the game with him anyway so why should i even bother ? Im just gona get another troll and my report did nothing anyway*. And sense 90% of the ppl are thinking like that most ppl are not getting banned/suspended. If they just realized that if atleast 50% of them would start legit reporting most of the trolls would start playing seriously and the minor part will just get permabaned soner or later leaving you with a trol 1 in every 50 games....... But no ppl are to bussy reporting me :D why ? Cause im a kid i was born in 98 and im playing a game. What a terrible crime i have comitet oh my god shame on me. Even when i would win my lane, help others out and almost carry the mach id get reported for not being able to carry and coments from people like: * you were fed only cause you play that broken op easy champ you noob learn to play a real one if i was playing in your place i would have won the mach 20 minutes ago, omg you scrub fucking reported*. I can say for myself that cause of reports like these i have been banned from ranked for 70 games and chat suspended for 140 games in the last month. I dont even know what to do to make ppl understand that just cause im 17 years old doesnt mean i suck at the game...... Anyway i think that trying to make ppl understant is like talking to a brick wall honestly cause they just dont care, they think that they are always right no matter what n.n . We can only hope that ppl lower their ego alot. Well i wish you the best of luck in your ranked progresion hope you stop getting ppl like that. (if u see in the start of the game sum1 is trolling just leave, you lose your lp and are suspended for 5-15-30 mins but you dont lover you mmr wich means you get more lp when you win, in your case its hard to climb cause your mmr is geting constantly lovered n.n)

Pretty sure i can't just leave my game if i'm in my promo series. It will count as a loss.

I just played a game and this player Zickzhero had only joined to insult his team. didn't even play. just hung around base and called us every name in the book and im sure join another game right after ours just to screw his next team over. Why people would do this and waste their own time as well as others is beyond me but it would be really nice if we could stop people like this from playing.
