Do report comments actually do anything?

Since the report system is automated does anyone actually read the comments that are put with them or is it just there to make players feel like something will actually be done while their report is funneled into a machine?

the report system itself doesnt work at all. you have people running around ruining the game by trolling and spewing hate with every sentence but they never get banned. in fact its the people who are getting trolled or being hated on who are more likely to get banned.

Reports are mostly there to make you feel less angry after someone rages at you, trolls or throws a game. They don't seem to do much beyond that.

So Lyte gets to sit in his office and jack off after taking away one of the greatest report systems to ever exist and the average player is left with a broken system that bans on a whim...... great. Too bad I can't report Lyte. Also, inb4 Lyte shows up in this thread, shows of bunch of my toxic chat logs out of context instead of actually defending himself or making a valid point, and leaves(if past Lyte posts are any indication of his behavior).

All you have to do is get a person to rage at you a little without you raging, get people to report them, there logs get scanned, they get ban. Ez

I don't think the report comments are actually read, I just played a game with two toxic players, someone accuse the other player of sucking so I decide to play defensive on a forced role as support bottom lane and refuse to play aggro because this person went afk for 10 seconds, and auto locked, they ask me in game why I was doing it, I told them it was because of what they were saying at champion select.

Anyways after the game Riven reports me who was toxic at the end game screen, and I just report both players for two things.

1.) ADC did not communicate anything properly 2.) False reports

getting a warning for no reason at all because playing defensive on a turret to avoid feeding the enemy should not be a report worthy offense.

I just assume the report system doesn't do anything. I've never gotten a positive conformation that someone I reported was banned, which is the only thing that would make me feel like the report system does anything.

Reports do nothing but ban the people who try to fight against trolls and toxic players etc.

I really wish the report system dished out a bunch more punishment to the people who deserve it but unfortunately it isn't built that way

do you think that if we recorded the games and sent them in the comments anything would be done? Maybe they already have this ability to see the game, but if they don't I feel like it might make reports easier.... oh wait. A machine won't care, thanks Lyte. And it would probably turn around and ban you for witch hunting too

they have access to post-game chat and maybe the actually game chat but I'm not sure about that

doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is the number of reports, so if you get matched up with 3 trolls u are screwed

Comments - with the Tribunal down - seem to "flag" games for manual reviews. This is particularly useful for pre- and post-game toxicity, since those logs are (still) stored separately, and can't be seen by the Reform System.
