After getting many "unskilled" reports, you supposedly lose some MMR so matchmaking can better place you. Otherwise it's just a placebo report for salty players. It will never result in a punishment.

Haven't heard of the former statement happening, but that isn't a terrible idea, as for the latter, I've heard it doesn't ever end in punishment but that matchmaking will avoid placing them with you in the future.

Yep, this is it exactly. You lose some MMR, however if you're not actually unskilled the system will re-correct you back to the MMR you are supposed to have.

According to Lyte, the unskilled report was used to test the matchmaking algorithm - it helped detect discrepancies in the system. Currently, it effectively does nothing. It's also one of the report options that will likely be removed when they rework them.

Well, when you go 0/10 in a lane when you have the hard counter to your opponent, you probably don't need to be at that MMR. That option doesn't get you banned, it just gets your MMR re-evaluated.
