Report options (Griefing: Trolling)

RogerRabbot··10 votes·548 views

Far too often in League players encounter people who will straight up troll you. They say they're gunna troll in champ select and they're not lying. It's pretty common and was a huge thing when the ultimate bravery fad hit. Adding a report troll option would fill the hole in the report system as none of the other options really seem all that fit for this kind of negative behavior. Not only would having the option be there for players when this sort of thing does happen, just having the option in game to report someone for actually just being a troll would discourage some people from doing it in the first place.

Trolling not only stops you from having fun, but your entire team and makes people more likely to stop playing after a while. This often leads to surrender at 20 games which is just a waste of four peoples time. More often than not, if one person trolls and starts to feed or sits in your lane taking farm and exp the rest of your team will simply give up. You might run into the few that will try to win no matter what is happening but they seem few and far between.

But that's all I got for the reporting options, they're great expect for the fact that trolls really seem to go unpunished and it's starting to really ruin my experience and I'm sure plenty of others too. Side note, not 100% sure if this kind of thing has already been posted about but please Rito, we need this!

I think "spamming" is kinda related to troll stuffs.

But you know, sometimes I just wanna play AP Ashe (or Alistar, or Leona, etc.) I have every intention of winning, and will do my absolute best to help the team, but I'm gonna have fun with it. Does that count as trolling?

If you aren't in ranked or are practiced enough with it you win 50% of your games with it in ranked over more than 10 games I'm definitely down with it. If you play ranked on something you win 1/50 games on, I don't care if it defines the meta as best meta choice ever, it is still trolling bc clearly it is a role you aren't good at. (Hence why I don't play adc. My team is better off with me playing double bruiser bot or like karthus or something bot.)

It's very clear when people are trolling versus playing something abnormal and trying to do well. Varus mid? Seems troll but if he does well that's not a troll. Picking Graves into Nasus top in a ranked game. That seems a lot like trolling. Riot has a pretty good tribunal system and the troll report will follow those same guidelines.

It sure is annoying when that one guy tries to claim the minions for himself when ownership goes to the last hit.

Yet another way for you to report and Riot to ignore you. Never the less..... upvote.
