Can we bring back the "Unskilled Player" report?

Yes, I had a game where an Ashe fed a ton, and single-handedly cost us the game.

Yes, it could have simply been a "bad game" for him/her.

However, there were certain things that he simply could not or did not do, tactically and strategically, that players in Gold are expected to be able to do; he never stutter-stepped, never did anything except shove lane, and had Auto Attack turned on for all I know, the way she laned.

I'm all for bad games. I have bad games. I don't mind when people have bad games. But sometimes, their actual ability to play mechanically and strategically does not match where they're placed in the system. I know there may be lots of false reports, but I liked the idea of having a special option to mark a player as "unskilled," not as a derogatory remark, but simply as a "this person needs more practice to be at this level" kind of deal. I'm not trying to silently criticise people when I report them for "unskilled player," but those people do make the game much less fun for 4 other people on a team.

"Unskilled player" so far as I know did nothing other than act as a placebo for elitist players that feel someone on their team wasn't up to snuff. Skill is relative. You're Gold IV, so realistically anyone higher rank should be able to report you in every single game as being "unskilled" because you aren't as highly ranked, therefore lacking proof, that you're better.
