Broken Reporting System

Just saying I just got out of a hide and seek match. I was on a side of two versus the 5 friends. Most everyone knows the rules of hide and seek and they decided to break the rules repeatedly. We preceded to tell them that it is sad that one cannot come enjoy a simple game of hide and seek because of trolls. We ff at 15 minutes because it is pointless to keep trying to play the game with that many trolls. Now I am withdrawing myself from playing hide and seek all together but I just wanted to post what I observed. It is easy to abuse the reporting system because 5 friends can sync versus two people via hide and seek and report both players on the same thing. I believe Riot should investigate that instead of sending me a automated message reprimanding me for not doing anything wrong.

TL;DR 5 friends can sync to wrongly report someone abusing the system entirely.

Actually, 5 people in a premade reporting you has no more weight than 1 person.

Actually, if you get 5 reports against you in a single game, it's no different than getting only one report. Multiple reports in a single game have the same exact weight as a single report when it comes to actual punishment. Riot made sure to do this so that premade parties don't have too much power over single players.

The message, on the other hand, is something different. Unless anything about it has changed, all it is is an automated message that serves to let you know that your account has received a spike in the number of reports you've received in recent games, and I don't think it takes into account false reports at all. It's not an actual punishment at all.
