Just had a troll on the enemy team

Now I know statistically speaking it's not an issue, but I always feel like something is a tad bit off when a blitzcrank with smite ghost and warlord's bloodlust building attack speed items and starting boots and 4 pots in the jungle with another jungler (ie he was supposed to support) can do this but fill chat with things like "Close game" and "Wp man you're so good" and not trigger a review. It's malicious intent using kind chat as a means to dodge the penalty in the system. He did not admit to anything in chat. I feel like the system won't be able to detect this kind of behavior because it is hidden. I'm posting this especially because it was on the enemy team, so that way it doesn't come across as me calling him a troll because he made me lose a game.

He won't dodge the penalty with "goody chat." The gameplay speaks for itself. The report system isn't dumb.

The report system isn't dumb.

Actually, it is. It cannot tell when people are trolling. Trolling is sometimes subjective afterall. There is virtually no chance that Blitzcrank gets punished by the automated system if he was using chat the way the OP described.

If OP reports the blitz, then it won't be overlooked. That the same for almost every reportable offense though.

A single report on that Blitz won't do anything at all. He would have to do be doing this very often in a high percentage of games for it to be manually reviewed.

Obviously... but it would still count and he wouldn't "dodge the penalty" as implied in the OP.

We've seen situations where employees review cases manually if the player in question receives larges amounts of reports but do not get hit by the automated system. The support singed/nunu cases.

While the verdict in that specific case can be argued, what it did show was even if they somehow find a crack in the automated system, they still throw a flag so that someone investigates further.

True! The best thing to do is report them for trolling and explain what they did in the message box provided. If you don't report them then yeah, little would be done.

I did report him. Many times, people on the enemy team aren't reported for trolling because "it's an easy win, we'll honor you for trolling" but I don't want them in my game, and when I win because of an enemy troll, I feel less like my rank is a true application of my skill, for better or for worse.
