Bring back the "Report for Unskilled".

VyperSilly··152 votes·5,507 views

This was the most used report I selected in game because it was mostly true that most players were unskilled and it doesn't do any harm in the end to report someone for unskilled but it makes you feel better than just falsifying a report on other subjects.

And also helped Riot attempt to identify issues with matchmaking/MMR.

Keep in mind that "Report for Unskilled" could never, ever result in someone getting punished or flagged in any way.

Everyone reports one another for unskilled. How does that help identify matchmaking problems?????????

Everyone reports for everything right now. How does that help identify toxicity problems??????

only 12 year olds actually do that

nobody else cares enough to go out of their way to click on the report button then click a checkbox and then send report

too much effort to spend on some whining entitled kid nobody really cares about

i mean let's be honest here, how many times do you actually use report?

Arakadia28 votes

I think it would be appreciated if people would stop assuming that because your younger, your an obnoxious, whining, entitled, kid who rages. Tbh, alot of older people didn't grow up. And its easy to assume things about them too, even if its not true.

Yeah, seriously, statements like that only show that the person hasn't actually encountered an adult even once in their life.

Spoofghoul1 votes

well apparently im wrong them people do care what some sad guy in a basement somewhere 3 countries over thinks about them

but for me i mostly ignore the obnoxious people

and rarely report anyone since i often don't care about their opinion since i wont have to deal with them again anyway

if they are really really annoying ill report them just so someone else doesn't have to deal with them but most of the time it aint worth they just blurt out nonsense cos they a little tilted so what who cares i dont, and neither should anyone else

personally i think it's sad when people instantly rush to the report button and rage report everyone because someone hurt their feelings a little

it's the goddamn internet

it's some dude 1000 miles away having a shitty day and he took it out on you, is that really worth your time to read and respond too?

apparently it seems a lot of people think that is the case they get all upset and tilted themselves over it and for what? that dude has already forgotten about it but the rest of you are running around butthurt and ruining everyone else's day

no grown up person lets someone like that ruin their day they don't care they know better, And this has nothing to do with age The ''12 year old entitled butthurt baby" refers to anyone acting like it whether they are actually 12 or 40 years old, So i wasn't referring about children but about anyone acting like a butthurt child

Its like two clicks. I think its worth it, especially considering that its not always juts "a bad day".

that dude has already forgotten about it

And thats the problem. He ruined your game, maybe tilted you enough to stop playing, and he doesn't care. He can demoralize you, and leave, and your saying thats okay. From my understanding, you think its okay for someone to flame as much as they want, because they can just leave. It doesn't matter to the flamer because they can just walk away and forget about it, but it did matter to the person who got flamed.

no grown up person lets someone like that ruin their day they don't care they know better,

Some adults, never grew up, some adults don't think before they act, and some adults don't know better.

Is this really worth the time? TL;DR.

Kek whenever my friends and I play with each other we all used to report each other for unskilled. Now we just spam question mark ping and "boosted/toxic" when one of us makes a boosted play.

I knew no one was going to get banned for it, but I legitimately thought it gave Riot data points to improve matchmaking, so that's why I used it. League's matchmaking is god awful.

Captain Aishi3 votes

and strangely enough it started being this damn terrible since that report option went away... (wasn't amazing before, but nowhere near what it's become these past two seasons)

RocketRelm3 votes

To be fair, I'm not actually sure it even gave riot any usable data. Sure, there are those instances where you get a legit boosted bronze in D5 to report, but much more often it's "Waaah, this person had a below-average game!", "Waah, I died 4 times at 15 minutes, it's THIS person's fault who hasn't died once!", "Waaah, this person picked a champion I didn't like! So trash!"

With so much 'clutter data', it was probably impossible for Riot to actually meaningfully use the data, and implementing the system probably took effort than the non-existent benefit they got out of it due to such clutter.

How often certain players are reported for it can be a useful statistic.

I was always told that "report for unskilled" didn't do anything. It was just a way for you to vent your anger. Didn't stop me from using it though.

Not true at all. Back when this was a report option I used it on a guy in 3 games in a row (No.. I did not duo with him). It is an empty report that does literally nothing. A player can not be punished for not being skilled at the game.

theArtifacts10 votes

Yeah let's bring back a reporting option that does nothing but serve your need to complain that someone didn't do as well as their enemy. Every game requires a winner and a loser. Perhaps you need to learn to not be such a sore loser.

YUp, I Would use it just to make myself feel better after a really bad game. NOw thats its gone some games feel like depressing endless spiral of anger and sadness with no hope of escapesummoner 3 , NOt even winning makes it feel better. ALl you can really do is make a angry boards post that's just going to be down voted into oblivion which may or may not make the situation worse.

OneMustFall7 votes

So people can spam the shit out of it after game they lose? Completely pointless. Everyone thinks they're teammates are trash after a bad game and would rather worry about their teammates poor play than their own. This just reinforces that negative behavior and contributes to a toxic environment.

Mechakaiser6 votes

If you can't accept that some players aren't good, that not everybody dedicates the same amount as you to this GAME (yeah, LoL is a Game, keep that in mind), then you are the one that should get reported. Some people suck and will suck forever, yet the keep playing, you see frustración in this fact, I see... Beauty

HollowMimic6 votes

So, new players cannot exist in a game? Or sm cannot have a bad game? How old are you again?

Shifue Draven4 votes

Honestly this would be nice but i know it would be abused to as it's all case by case considering most do not know how jungling works and expects that everyone should gank at lvl 3 and act as a non stop gank and expects you to gank when you are across the map. I can already see issues here. granted it's not like a ban would come etc but i can see stuff like this clogging up the metrics bad.

Weasel Kensei3 votes

Its not super common, but not so uncommon that it cant happen more than once in a single day that I have to support an ADC annoyed with me for taking their farm...

And by taking farm theyre complaining about my use ofitem 3302 because they dont actually know what it is. In ranked no less. Then after you explain it, they still keep fighting you for the cannon minion.

To many ignorant people in the game. How many do you think would use it to report a tanky support for using Relicshiled cause theyre taking CS "UGH, taking my minions, SO UNSKILLED!"

I'm already sick of people saying "gg, report ____ for feeding" after they die twice without getting a kill.

Weasel Kensei3 votes

In one of my prievious matches I had a Lux with Deathfire Touch.

I asked them why they didnt have Thunderlords.

They told me it didnt work for her... This was in a ranked match. This assclown also told me I need to learn how to support, while they were 1/6/1, and I was a moron.

Thats why unskilled went away. People were so fuking noob and ignorant of the game that they THOUGHT OTHER PEOPLE WERE WORSE THAN THEM!

That Lux, and my ADC, were potato as fuck. Still if they had the option they would probably have reported me for unskilled because they were butthurt baddie dipshits. The Lux spent multiple sentences, inarticulate ones with no substance, assuring me that Thunderlords doesnt work on Lux and that there was never a reason for Bard to be comming up the river toward mid...

That player has access to an unskilled button? I dont fucking think so.

There are thousands of these idiots. For every one proper use of the report, there will be twenty or more reports on you because you didnt follow through on some moronic tower dive at level one.

Blåbæret5 votes

Nothing wrong with Deathfire on Lux FYI.

Weasel Kensei5 votes

I could give you a complex breakdown of why its inferior in every way on her compared to TLD. I will give you a brief explanation.

The window in which Lux can burst a target down is 2 seconds. If she lands her Q, she launches E, taps R, then sets off E. Also any aa she can manage.

If she has say 200 AP (this will bear out to be true of any AP value) in 2 seconds she will get 12.5% of her AP as bonus DFT damage, or in this case 25+8 over 4 seconds, then shortened to 2 seconds for AoE ability, dealing 33 divided by 2 coming out to 16.5 bonus damage.

That same AP value for... we will lowball her level at just 6, minimum for her ult. 200 AP she procs TLD with that combo and gets 10% of her AP for 20+10 (base) +60 (10/level) or 90 bonus damage added to her burst combo.

The DFT may be slightly more helpful for driving your opponet out of lane with E spam, and do a bit more damage in teamfights, but TLD helps her kill her opponet. In lane she only needs to hit with an ability and an aa to proc TLD giving her significant damage to add to her passive. Why is it so good? TLD IS HER PASSIVE! She hits you with an ability, she can proc her passive now with an aa, and it will do 10+10/level + 20% of AP.

Lux's poke pattern works with DFT yes, but her combo excels with TLD.

Kingnewgameplus4 votes

Even her poke pattern is better with tld because e-auto procs it.

RavenMagus2 votes

Better poke in lane, worse poke afterwards

DFT isn't terrible on lux, but it's a tradeoff

Kingnewgameplus1 votes

After lane your not looking to poke, your looking to burst. I know dft isn't bad on her but I just think tld vastly outclasses it because of how easily she can proc it, especially since her R procs passive. Its like taking grasp on poppy. I mean, it works but courage is just so, so much better.

Weasel Kensei1 votes

I agree. Another math breakdown.

Late game Lux in teamfights with 600 AP (we will assume shes level 18 with that much AP).

Stats on keystones with 600 AP:

DFT 8+150 for 158 damage over 4 seconds, reduced to 2 seconds for AoE abilities.

This means if she were to land and E on ALL 5 enemies that would deal (158 divided by 2 is 79 and 79 times 5 is) 395 damage for her keystone DFT.

TLD is (10/level) 180+60 for 240 damage, which actually can AoE but we will disregard that.

To compare to DFT, Lux needs to get that 79 damage/target on at least 3 targets in a teamfight, then wait 2 seconds, for the damage to become equal to TLD upfront damage. Or wait 6 seconds with two more ability cast to reapply the DFT damage on one opponent.

Of course that extra damage may mean the difference between a marksman, mage, assassin living long enough to kill you or another carry... I mean its just 2 seconds you have to wait is all. TLD improves Lux 1v1 considerably, and in teamfights that last long enough to do less damage than DFT you have to ask will TLD put an enemy down faster so they lose carry damage output in said teamfight?

It was never a question of can DFT WORK on Lux. It was a question of why are you trying to slowly kill people with a nuker? DFT is my go to on Brand. Every match its DFT, Brand passive, and Liandrys Torment; 3 DoTs suck it!!

Also people need to remember what started this line of discussion is that I asked someone why they didnt have TLD on a Lux. They didnt respond with "Well based on my match up my best shot is to poke them out of lane and reduce kill pressure on myself. So I took DFT. Its a play style preference also." NO, they didnt say any of that. They said "Thunderlords doesnt work on Lux." That is fucking stupid. A matter of preference, meh, ok, fear of the match up so changing approach, fine. TLD DOESNT WORK ON LUX!? No, thats just dumb, and someone that dumb doesnt need access to a button to label others unskilled because theyre too dumb to use it properly.

RavenMagus1 votes

That's mostly true.

When you're in a siege situation, though, you're mostly poking again.

But that honestly happens rather rarely these days - it's usually a full blown teamfight followed by swift tower taking, and if there happens to be a tower already there then one team just ignores it and dives the other.

In theory, if you got into more of a poke oriented game, DFT would actually be (situationally) better. But that hardly happens these days, and you're better off just nuking with TLD.

well for my playstyle dft works 10x better on lux

tested out both and had more success with dft

Yeah, I had a friend Who started to Play Ziggs in every fucking Lane when patch 6.24 came out, cause he said that Tower FB gave a tremendous snowball, luckily he got banned for "troll", like the idiot he is, right?

Weasel Kensei2 votes

Well, I cant see "your friends" Ziggs statistics, but I have to assume he was DOING IT IN EVERy LANE, and regardless of pick order and surprise his team ended up without an ADC and that "snowball" melted.

Often when a player picks off meta stuff, and WINS with it... people dont report. I have to assume he made a few to many games "SURPRISE WE HAVE 4 AP CHAMPS NOW" and those people were mad about that surprise that destroyed the overall comp.

But no, Im sure he got banned cause all that early snowballing leading into wins made so many people mad...

I hope you're not like that ingame, you'd have worse problems to worry about.

We already had that. It didn't work. Why don't we try something new, like "Report for being too skilled" It might be fun =)

its good for anti toxicity, because if someone is really tilted at someone else, they can report them for unskilled rather than inting when they werent

The thing is, this report was only used to improve matchmaking, not to get people punished.

That being said, that isn't a bad thing.
