An idea for a report system revamp.

I think most people that play this game alot agree that the report system as is is broken. People are getting through for doing ridiculous shit thats actually trolling, and people are getting punished for inane things that didn't actually effect anyone elses game. It seems like the main thing riot got wrong with their report system for the game, was making it so easy and convenient to report. If the community was a small one and people reported infrequently this wouldn't have been a problem, but they get flooded by this huge playerbase reporting everyone in their games that didn't carry them.

But what if riot made it harder to report people, so there'd be some hoops to go through to make sure you actually mean it, and aren't just mad about a lost game? And then with the dramatically smaller pool of reports to go through, they could have an actual person look at what happened and decide on the outcome.

My biggest complaint about leagues report system is I don't think an algorithm should ever be able to give a player anything more than a chat restriction. But I think this would be a good solution to their current "not working so well" system, that is chat restricting/suspending players for what are basically glitches in the system. Leaving the game in a state that the only kind of safe thing you can do is not talk, which is fine to say for ranked, but in norms alot of people like to fk around in chat which I think should be fine if its not toxic.
