How do false accusations work?

I recently finished a long game in which 3 members of my team falsely accused me of using the N-word, being racist, etc. I did not report them as they had done nothing else wrong, but they said they had reported me. Having them do this really ruined my game, and I am wondering if i should have reported them. I muted them for a short while, but could not shot-call as effectively. Thank you.

Well, provided that you didn't validate their claims or try to argue with them/with the enemy team about your innocence, their reports will mean nothing.

To answer your question(it's technically not really a question, but, y'know.); yeah, you probably should've. People who try to throw false accusations like that aren't welcome in League.

If you want to report them (despite having missed the opportunity to do so in the post-game lobby), you could always file a Support Ticket, just know that you won't be given any information as to whether or not they've been punished for it.

I hope (largely for your sake) that you didn't let them bait you into flaming or arguing, and I hope that the information presented proves helpful to you.

You can still be banned for something else, if you argued or insulted someone, even without the dreaded %%%%%%-word.

Reports do not stack. Report calling is a minor offence, you had to report them.

Consider not shotcalling and /mute all.

it doesn't matter how many people report you or how often it happens

if you do nothing wrong then there is no punishment

They can report you all they want, but false reports shouldn't affect you at all.

The Senate Confirmation Committee should invite Riot to the hearings.... they'll sort this whole business out between Dr Ford and Judge Kavanaugh once and for all. Give 'em all a chat ban.

(Can senators be permabanned?)
