Unskilled Player

Hagrids Double ··3 votes·504 views

I am actuallly slightly surprised when I saw that this is no longer an option when reporting someone. From what I have heard they removed it because it was / would be somewhat hard to judge. However, I have been in games with people that are lvl 30's and either have not figured out building paths or details like this and I guess sadly I have reported these people. Now it was not out of rage or spite of these people (we all have to start somewhere) I just feel that from experience everyone I have reported as being "unskilled" was done rightfully so. These people are still figuring out the game and should play with people that are in the same boat as them. Now granted I have raged at someone that could not preform and reported them as "unskilled" but these people usually talked alot of crap in the load in and then ended up being why we lost.

because it flooded the system with so many reports, that it was hard to judge the truth from just angry players. People have bad games from time to time, and sometimes when people have bad games, others will attack them. Thus they go rid of "unskilled players" because people abused it. To me I would rather report someone for trolling or something, I'm not gonna jump down someones throat for being unskilled.

There is no reason to have this option to report.

If you are grouped with this player then you are of the same skill lvl as them.

If you get better you will see less and less unskilled players because you are matched (or so they say) with people of your skill lvl.

You know we can click your name and see your match history, right?

Glass houses and all that...

Anyway, there's no reason for anyone to report unskilled because matchmaking does what it can to pair you with similarly skilled players. Furthermore, there's no reason YOU should be reporting ANYONE for unskilled play. (Or me, for that matter, but I'm not complaining about not being able to report people for playing as badly as I do.)

they should have kept it as a dummy report that does nothing. Now they just report everyone who goes negative with offensive language or intent feeding when they lose.

But they can look in the logs and see if that was the case and can Judge that.

Millions of reports on an everyday basis? You think they have a factory in china where thousands of people scan through every report?

IIRC, it was never actually an option since "Unskilled Player" reports didn't do anything.

It was just there to allow raging players to vent.

If the player were actually unskilled, then their MMR would eventually lower to the proper value.
