Notification When action is taken against a report player.

RebornDominator·Mar 14, 2015·90 votes·4,201 views

Reported* While playing another game, cough Dota 2 cough , i reported someone for communication abuse (not false) and a few minutes after the game i was notified action was taken against the player and i feel like i actually did something in making the community a better place. Please add this to LoL so we know we are helping rid the community of these type of people.

P.S. I sound stupid, dont I

EDIT: please refrain from downvoted due to me mentioning Dota 2 EDIT 2: How Dota 2 has it that you have only a certain amount of reports until refreshed, If the reported player had action taken against them, you would receive the report token back, along with the notification

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Would it go against privacy if it didnt specify the punishment or the player?

I actually do like this idea. It is kind of a mystery wondering if that toxic ADC of yours who called you a (excuse the language) "fucking bitch" "worthless whore" "stupid fucking dumbass who doesn't even ward" was punished for their actions. It would be nice if a message like the following was displayed in your notifications when you logged in:

Greetings summoner! We would like to notify you that your report against bestadc3857 for Verbal Abuse has been accepted, and that action has been taken against this person. Thank you for making League of Legends a better and safer place for all!

-Tribunal

That would be a good thing to have once Tribunal is back up (did they really see cases that fast? Because if action is taken even the next week, I honestly don't care). I doubt we'll see it till then, though, as I would think there aren't enough Rioters to personally hand out punishments to people who deserve them that are flagged by their automated tools.

I have weird feeling that Riot tries to protect all kinds of "bad players". They've removed tribunal They've disabled option to see who dodged

It's like protecting spoiled brats..

Because they don't care about improving the community. All games eventually turn on their most dedicated, hardcore player base in order to keep on masses of baddie fodder and influxes of fresh cash. You have to keep mass appeal.

Which is why we have a report system that is built entirely on punishing players who get mad at other, often newer and younger players, but pays no attention to the these kinds of players who make other players so frustrated that they lash out.

Let's just continue to address the symptom (Angry Players) and let the cause of the problem (Bads and Trolls) do whatever they want because they know they won't get in trouble as long as they keep their chat clean.

Riot's stance is, 'look we want everyone to play this game. Either put up with all the bullshit a large player base creates and be nice, or we can mute your chat and ultimately ban you for "justice" because buddy we can't have you turning off the easily offended from playing. We need max players for max cash, bro.'

Unfortunately, I completely agree with your post and how the game is being handled right now. It's not really fair for seasoned players to have to deal with the toxicity that plagues most of our games.

For example, I recently played a premade with three other friends, so our fifth was someone random. Sadly he was not playing very well (I'm not saying there's anything wrong with bad skill, but I'm going to explain the wrong in how he handled the situation). He began to call out our support - which caused another one of us to say, hey man back off. Immediately following this guy jumped on us "Oh you're a duo" "I smell a duo" "premade trash." And so, he decided to intentionally feed the other team, "I'm going to ruin your game you trash premade."

This turned into 20 minutes of him running straight down mid lane feeding the other team. For a really stupid reason. Of course, the four of us reported him, but unfortunately we know in the back of our minds this is going to probably go completely unnoticed. So a group of friends can't play a game together without some random who decides to ruin it for us and get away with it. So it would be really nice if we knew that some sort of justice was being taken care of.

The problem is that most people would actually not get punished.

Silents429Mar 14, 20154 votes

Then people would just complain on the forums when they don't get told if the person was dealt with.

Just report and move on, you won't ever see the player again, it doesn't matter what happens to them.

"Just report and move on, you won't ever see the player again, it doesn't matter what happens to them."

Not true. Played with a guy that went 'support' Twisted Fate and stole cs, roamed to each lane taking cs and then suiciding mid lane because we weren't losing fast enough. I had him on my team for 3 consecutive games. Then, I had that same guy do the same thing two days later but I stopped playing after one match. I, and everyone else in the match, reported him. Reports don't guarantee you won't play with then again.

"Reports don't guarantee you won't play with then again.Reports don't guarantee you won't play with then again." That's not even what he said! Don't misinterpret what people say, especially when there is nothing to interpret.

Also, that is the only instance where you would ever be matched again. And what else would you expect to happen, obviously you should have waited 15 seconds if you didn't want to play with him again.

With how toxicity is being handled these days im sure riot would only toss in an automated message as soon as you report and wash their hands of it lol. Most people are too afraid to speak in in summoners rift anymore cause any negative comment (be it constructive criticism or just a small disagreement) earns you that automated "you were reported" message from some butthurt child.

JugglaJMar 15, 20151 votes

This is entirely true, I don't understand the down votes.

Damorion215Mar 15, 20154 votes

Holy shit, this makes me actually want to play DOTA 2! XD Only problem that if this was implemented into LoL, would be the report token system, because there are just way too many people that need to be reported. Like, how many tokens do you get? The number of those needing to be reported probably exceeds that of how many tokens you have. Plus, you don't really know if any action would be taken considering how faulty and broken Riot's logic is when it comes to matters like this.

DezellMar 14, 20153 votes

"Action has been taken against a player you reported, thank you for helping the game" or some shit. No name or specifics but would let me know Riot is actually paying attention to reports. It would also let me know when someone might be bothering ME but they're found to be operating within the rules, so I'd know to not report as much.

Sona PingMar 15, 20151 votes

{quoted}

but would let me know Riot is actually paying attention to reports.

Nah, people would complain just as much about there being "just some automated system that ignores your reports", if not more, if you did present them with form messages about their reports.

When i asked for this on the eu forums, i got downvoted to oblivion .

Glad to know that people in here think a bit more rational than those back there .

RoyaiChaosMar 14, 20152 votes

A lot of people have single toxic games with plenty of fine ones. It's possible that you encountered one of these cases. You really can't tell whether someone truly deserves to be banned or not based on one game. Everyone has bad days here they get a little more ragey than they should.

Of course, there's a limit. There are some things you shouldn't say no matter how bad your day was.

TheShinxMar 15, 20152 votes

Sad thing is, riot will not disclose any information about action taken place. when the Tribunal was up, you knew if a player was warned, ban, perma ban, but not to the extent of Riot knows. Perma ban is explanatory of itself. Perma Ban. but the ban/Warning can vary.

Yeah but... mmm...

OrokiyamMar 15, 20151 votes

Implement reports token right now! I would pay for this to be implemented! Right now this game is just a report fest, people are just reporting everyone left and right for no reasons. If you put a limit on how much reports they can do per day/weeks I think this game will be a better place.

rtbf211279518Mar 15, 20151 votes

Uhm...I hate to shoot down a great idea, but they can't actually disclose that information because of privacy reasons. I had a rioteer review a game I played a while ago for toxicity (thanks again ScornedNymph), and he/she told me this:

"We will investigate your report and take any actions we feel are necessary. Please keep in mind; we cannot disclose any disciplinary actions that may be taken due to privacy reasons."

Although, it'd be pretty cool if the reporting system was a little bit better.

JugglaJMar 15, 20151 votes

They could easily change the privacy rules to allow it by changing the Terms & Conditions, yeah sure no one reads them, but it would protect their butts from some entitled jack-ass suing them.

"Greetings Summoner,

I wanted to let you know that a player you reported, guyWhoHurtYourFeelings, has recently been reviewed for Verbal Abuse.

Your comment "fkn ashoel tol me that building ap on riven was retarded. fuk him idot need ban for toxic" was very helpful to us and we appreciate your role in improving the League of Legends community.

See you on the rift, Riot responseBot"

Astrox3Mar 15, 20151 votes

That would be one of the only things that could make me hate playing this game a lot less

Snow TaradienMar 16, 20151 votes

Dawngate did this and also had a "Karma" system wherein you could be given a karma upvote at the end of the game similar to getting honored, and it would increase your destiny (IP) reward for the game you played. Meaning the game REWARDED you for being a good person rather than just giving you a dinky little tag on your icon.

It fostered a good community. Its a good idea imo.
