Your reports system is flawed

For Carthage··3 votes·352 views

I enjoy how there's a "negative attitude" report option for if somebody isn't "positively contributing" to the environment of the game verbally.

Yet there is no option to report for a last pick person picking Pantheon for support, grabbing flash and ignite despite the request of his ADC that he is supposed to support being he at least take exhaust. This Pantheon then taking farm, hitting minions to make it difficult to get farm, repeatedly leaving the bot lane for minute on end to sit in mid - not just gank, sit in mid - borderline intentionally feeding the bottom lane, not communicating with the ADC in the slightest bit, and not even bothering to build any support items or invest in wards until the very end of the game as a token "look I bought a ward I must have been doing it all game" gesture.

And despite my support doing all of this the entire game, I am expected to just sit there and bare it. And then on top of that, not only must I simply deal with the fit-throwing support, I'm also completely unallowed to report him for any of this besides, at most, "refusing to communicate with the team", which you, Riot, don't do a thing about. And when your team starts being incredibly toxic towards you, you also aren't allowed to say anything back, you're not allowed to leave and remove yourself from the situation entirely, no - you must sit there. You must play the game. You must deal with your entire team putting you further behind on purpose and with them intentionally allowing the enemies to dogpile you without so much as an attempt to help. You must sit there and you must deal with it and there is absolutely not a thing you can do about it.

And yet I'm the one who gets to be reported for saying, "This guy isn't even trying to support me. What am I supposed to do?", with the reply coming from my mid - who has just given the enemy LeBlanc another kill - "Shut the fuck up" along with my top saying the same thing. And that report is the only one that will be conidered.

Your reports system is the most flawed piece of crap on the planet.

I just read the first few sentences and stopped. The ADC isn't the support's babysitter. The support doesn't have to take the spells that the ADC thinks they should/nor play the champ the ADC thinks they should.

No? Then I suppose you wouldn't mind if I were to go into your game, choose Heimer support, not build a support item, not build sightstone, continually attack your farm and take it, and constantly engage on the enemy just because while not saying a thing to you the entire game, right?

That's what you're saying. That's completely okay, correct?

No. I'm not talking about actually playing as a support. I'm talking about the champ and spell choices. That's all I'm talking about.

I main support your first 2 jobs are as follows ward and protect/zone/engage to help the adc farm and kill, at midgame it becomes ward more and engage/peele for team trying your best to keep the 2 carries alive. You sadly defend a troll and that's the biggest problem in game is that there are so many trolls defending each other. People trying to learn and get better get screwed

Wow. Where do I begin with how wrong this is? Support is not there to do whatever the hell they want, they're there to SUPPORT the ADC. In other words, if the ADC needs you to take Exhaust, you fucking take Exhaust. If they have Exhaust and need you to be the one with Heal, you fucking take Heal. ESPECIALLY if you're some turd playing Pantheon support, at the very least you can provide some CC and engage. On top of that, Ignite on a support has VERY few situations where it is good, and Pantheon support is NOT one of them.

Now if they're being a nitpicky dick, or flaming because you took, say, Teleport instead of Flash, yeah that's not cool. But asking for CC instead of a damage/killsteal spell is not babysitting.

No. Supports are there to help the team...not just the ADC. The support picks the champ and the spells that they believe will best help the team. The ADC does not get to control the support. If anything, the support should be in charge as they are the shot-callers in game.

And you're saying that ignite on a team with two other ignites is a wise choice? That that's "what's best for the team"? It's not just the ADC - the entire team would rather a support take exhaust because it has far more uses. The entire team would prefer that it not be a Pantheon support that's not building sightstone or anything else productive for a support. The entire tam actually agreed on this. And while you can't force somebody to play a particular champ or not to choose a particular champ, you sure as hell can't defend the person intentionally not doing their role.

While the report system obviously isn't perfect, I don't really think that this is proof that the report system is flawed. It's been known for a very long time that people can report you for anything at all. However, you should know that REPORTS DO NOT EQUAL BANS. Just because someone reported you does not mean that you are going to get banned.

I say anybody with over 100 reports should only play with other reported players on a dunce(haha you're a dousche) server
