Do people forget what the report system is for, nowadays? WDYT?

I don't know about you guys, but after my games I'm noticing more people are getting reported than usual because someone hasn't been doing as well as they'd like in games. But what makes matters worse is when people will defend a toxic attitude because they "carried the game" and it's made me think that I don't think enough people realize what the report system is actually for and I feel like this should be properly covered before a player starts reporting someone.

When we have people like Nightblue calling his fuck-buddy to get another player banned or ChaseShaco highlighting a serious problem with win traders in higher ranks, it doesn't help that we already have a flawed report system and it's gradually getting more contaminated with people who clearly have no idea how the report system works or what it's even used for beyond getting accounts punished, and it's shit like this that makes matters needlessly difficult.

Now I get it, this could be hyperbole and I could be concerned over nothing and I seriously hope that's the case, hell for all I know, the system might have an easy time skimming through bluster like: Devils Avocado: "He called me a wee lil bitch :(" SoansLeftBittie: "Fcker didnt heal onec" Yasuo 4 Lyfe: "He banned Yasuo!" Yasuo 4 Lyfe: "He took Yasuo!" Yasuo 4 Lyfe: "Cheating! Wind shield should block turret projectiles!" Rivenside Mothertrucker: "He's a Yasuo player"

But to all you people who don't get it, here's a newsflash: Just because you might be killing it in a game, does not mean you're warranted a bitch pass.

most players don't report because they feel that the system does nothing about a player that has been reported

since they believe (despite us or riot saying otherwise) that one report should equal "hey you guys need to punish this account for x"?

so when they see the player they reported hours or even days later still playing the game; it frustrates them

now yes i'm aware there are things that riot will punish a person for with just one report; but those are just a small margin of reports

how can you tell how many people are getting reported short of being a riot employee? Lots of people will claim they are going to report someone but no way to know if they actually do report. Odds are the people who complain the most are also the most lazy and can't be bothered filling out a report
