Report button.

Should it be removed? It seems to me a majority of toxicity in games begins with that one aggravating word - "Report". Someone goes down 0-3 early? "Reported for feeding." That one word is the bane of ranked games and I truly feel the button should go away. It shouldn't be that easy to report someone. I believe Riot should introduce a slightly more complicated system that would require actual -effort- to be put into reports because, let's face it, those kids that are lazy and want to sling reports around just because someone had a bad game aren't going to do so if there's actual effort involved.

For example!

I go 0-3 early in a game in mid lane. I get behind in farm. Not because I'm intentionally feeding or trolling but because I'm against an opponent who has an advantage. My ADC says 'reported for feeding'. We lose the game and at the post-game screen he looks over and sees that nifty little report button and clicks it and reports me for 'intentionally feeding' when I simply wasn't. Too easy.

Let's imagine that same scenario except after the game ends and he clicks the report button a form comes up in the LoL-Client. A form that asks for his account name, summoner name, name of the offending player, what the offending player did, why it impacted the game in a negative comment and what he/she thinks should be done to the offender.

This individual is most likely just going to skip it entirely because he/she is guided by a malicious and bad attitude and by this time he/she has calmed down enough to realize, hey, this report is stupid. Move on.

Thoughts?

It fosters this community of reports that shouldn't even be in the game anyway. If Riot had GMs patrolling the games for toxicity and just punished it immediately on seeing it, there would be far less.
