Reporting a player for harassment is re·dun·dant. There is a mute button and pings that can be used to communicate.
The PROBLEM behind this is that the reporting system is automated now and there is no Tribunal. This means no one physically looks over anything that happens. You can report players for NO REASON AT ALL. You can walk into a game and literally put all 9 players in the game on mute and STILL get reported. There is no such thing as "report accuracy". You can go into every game and report all players for anything you like and never hold back.
If everything I said above is untrue, then there should be a way to see what's going on. I had a bad day today at work. How close am I to being banned? If my electricity goes out tonight because of this storm outside, am I going to be suspended/banned from League for AFK or should I go play a different game?
Another long PROBLEM this game has had for a very long time is the amount of pings players use. You can mute someone and even block them from y our friends list and a player can STILL spam pings like a 4yr old for an ENTIRE 60min game. There isn't even an option in the report player dropbox list to report someone for it. It says "Report player for Spamming" but I did reviews for the tribunal; I know they dont look at the amount of pings someone spams. They looked at how much damage you dealt to champions, the amount of healing you did and what your FINAL build looked like and lets not forget the important part: THOSE BIG BAD MEAN BAD WORDS YOU SAID THAT NOBODY KNEW HOW TO BLOCK FROM THEIR SCREEN. You could go all game long with 6 different pair of boots and at the end of the game, sell them and buy a couple of legit items.
