CandyIandman··6 votes·677 views

Trolling doesn't fit into any report category so can we have that option please?

Verbal Abuse- Negative attitude if they don't say anything then what? Unskilled- ya because like that does anything and if they are trolling it's on purpose Refusing to communicate- when was the last time anyone was punished for that? Leaving Afk- you can troll without afking

I mean none of these effect trolls and that's why they get away with it, just stay quiet don't say anything and troll your team and your safe.

Trolling isn't a report option because it is vague as to the point of being meaningless, everyone has a different definition of what being a 'troll' entails which makes it useless as a means of defining behavior.

And even if everyone agreed that trolling meant something specific, for example a troll being someone who is doing something to intentionally antagonize their own teammates, even then it is to vague as it does not show how the person was being antagonistic. Were they talking to people in chat? Feeding kills? Purposely avoiding fights and never helping toward any victory conditions? And even then how well can you determine that what they are doing is their intentions as opposed to your interpretation of their intentions?

Trolling is such a catch all phrase that it simply is not helpful as a report option, if you want to report someone you should be able to define a specific behavior that person was doing that is the cause of your report. If you can't do this and have to fall back saying they were 'trolls' and that is why they should be punished then personally I wouldn't give your report any credence.

i agree!!!! its beyond verbal abuse and other toxic behaviors. id rather have 30 verbal abusive people than one jackass whos going around trolling on purpose.

I've said that from day one, I'd rather have a bunch of toxic people on my team that I can easily mute then to have a troll/afk on my team. But the majority of league and Riot seem to think that they shouldn't have to use a mute option.. This community and company lacks 0 common sense.

The report system got a small rework on the PBE. From what I understand it is more clear and allows multiple offenses, although it's not final. Wait till that comes to live to suggest any further changes :)

And yet.. You DIDNT give me a definition that can be coded to be auto-detected by the client.

i an a group of buddies routinely "troll" Friday nights (in normals). And by "troll" I mean that our picks are WAY off-meta. But in game we do play to win (and usually DO win). I can give specifics if you like... which according to your NON-definition of "trolling". would probably get us perma-banned??

There are thousands of ways to troll, be more specific in what evidence you want.

I cant. If you want to punish something (automatically)... you first have to IDENTIFY it. Please tell me how to do that.

Also keep in mind that a) Off meta picks are NOT punishable and b) Intentional feeding is already a punishable offense that is now automatically handled.

But you aren't Riot, so why would I waste my time telling you specifics or answers.. I'd rather do it with someone who matters.

Then I guess you should have marked your thread as @Riot or @SomeRiotEmployeeWhoMatters
