Does reporting players even work? Is there a point?

I am starting to feel like there is no point in reporting people who intentionally help the enemy team. It seems like Riot just does not care. Even worse, it seems the players do not care unless it happens to be someone on their team. I am most likely going to just quit playing this game because of all the trolls and negative players. THis post is probably going to get trolled and hated because, well, that is what League of Legends players do best. Peace

No reporting system is instant. Eventually people get banned.

Short term, it doesn't directly help you get less trolls, but it slowly helps getting rid of them so others don't need to.

Have you seen all the qq rant threds on here from people getting banned/chat restricted for being toxic? The reproting system works but just because you don't get the gratification of seeing it happen doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

There are some people that think with the Tribunal system down, that there is no consequences to trolling and that reporting does nothing.

The truth is the Tribunal simply gave out minor punishments and the major punishments such as a ban has always been handled by Riot internal.

I think that when the Tribunal system was active, it made people more worried about their behavior and conscience that someone might read what they wrote and judge them on it. Now that it is offline, people feel it gives them a free pass and aren't worried about social ridicule.

I don't go on the boards too much, but it seems like every other game I play someone is just trying to ruin the experience for no reason. These are long games, and it's not very fun to play 45 minutes with someone bent on making that 45 minutes terrible for you. You'd expect that behavior to stop when you get to ranked but it doesn't.

I suppose I will have more faith in the reports and continue doing them when necessary. Thank you for the input guys.

It works I hardly talk in chat because people get so angry and some people get. Well some how I was ban from chatting in game for 30 games. It does not bother me as I use Skype anyway when playing with my friends. It did suck when people would ask me a question and I couldn't answer them, so who knows maybe I got reported some games for not communicating with my team. lol The system is broken there is a lot of work to be done it's just right now the only way to get ban is over a corse of time and who knows how long it takes. I been playing this game since is came out and had no trouble till last year. People just report to report if they don't win every game.
