@Meddler Lost a promo game because RIOT needed me to know that a random guy/gal has been punished.

Edit: Or @Lyte, whatever.

Last game I reported a toxic player after the game and queued again for another ranked. I was in champion selection, thinking which champion I want to play. There is like 6-7 seconds left and I'm gonna pick my champion when the message pops "A player you've reported has been punished words words la la la pew twang pwe". It took my by surprise and I had little time to react. I close hastily the pop-up but I have no time to choose a champion and I'm kicked out of the game. I just entered promo with a free win token. I guess now I have a free loss token too.

I like the fact that you get those pop-ups so you feel your reports are useful, but please don't let them appear in the middle of a champion selection. I have better things to think about in that moment than the fact that someone I don't and I will never know has been chat restricted. Do it so it can only appear when you are not in a game. Even if it hasn't cost me the game, those few seconds you get distracted may mean you don't choose the best champion for your team or you forget to change the runes.

This is up there with the loading screen message that warns you that your connection is lost and requires you to click the button to reattempt, but only appears in the background behind the loading screen itself.

This is Meddler's problem...how? This is Lyte's department more then anything.

I understand you're upset, but Meddler can't help you here.

That's why you don't wait till the last second to pick a champion...

I honestly wish that happened to me, i don't even care about the LP loss or promo loss, but the amount of people i report EVERYDAY and nothing happens... no pop up. i would even give up my whole rank to see that message pop up. i would go back to bronze 5 or even unranked. but yeah, doesn't matter how many i report or how toxic they are never seen that message pop up.

I understand that you didn't like it and it shouldn't pop-up in-lobby, but.... I'd stay it's still worth it. summoner 11

When none of your reported players have been punished.
