If you're suggesting there should be a mid-game report option, no, there shouldn't be. We don't need players afk'ing while they write up a report. If they forget to report after the match then it must've not been that important, and like a big piece said, it's likely someone else reported severe behavior anyway so it won't really matter if you personally weren't able to/forgot most of the time.

Now if there was an option to report players on your Recently Played list in the event the game crashed, or you did forget, or the servers went offline etc., I think that would be a much better alternative to handling the issue you seek to fix without causing in-game problems.

this is why the game wont ever improve. your forced to sit in a game thats lsot with an asshole for another 10-30 mins at least, ive had 1h 20m games with this, and this joke here will silence you to prevent any kind of traction from happening to get a movemtn to adress these tpyes of issues.

deepterrornami

how

the

fuck

did you come to mid game report.

last i checked they could just put it in with the match history made available through riots own cleint and they can add a forgot to report thats only valid for x amount of time time.

you take things way way way way way to literally some people dont have working screen shot functions or record there games for the support tickets

deepterrornami how the fuck did you come to mid game report?

Because of 40% of his post said this;

because you have to wait till post game

That says he has an issue with waiting to report, which means he wants to report immediately when the offenses occur (which would be during the match). Hence, "mid-game report".

this is why the game wont ever improve...this joke here will silence you

Now, I didn't shut him down at all. I examined the issue, took his proposition, and made an alternate proposal which I believe will not only serve the same purpose but would do it in a manner that will not disrupt the game further. Your suggestion that it should be done from the Match History page is perfectly fine too.

his post is a sentence long he never specified when he wanted the ability to report and if you look at the title the specific point isnt so much when but that he forgot because you can only do it in the post game screen which due to frustration he in a rushed mannered closed prematurely you flipping moron god how i hate idiots. how you make my head hurt.

Please; if you're going to have a disagreement or debate, keep it civil! If the post gets too negative without any constructive comments or criticism, it will have to be locked. <3

With that being said, I've been upset and tilted to the point I forget to report and just hightail out of the lobby as soon as possible. I feel yall.

and this is why i made my post about how you mods are so low in quality. you seem afraid to disagree with your colleagues or reprimand them i just hope wuks can explain to me why 2 mods let a third break the very rules they are required to enforce due to their position as mods.

Honestly, they're constructively sharing an opinion. If you have a way to respectfully counter that opinion, go for it! I encourage showing different points of view. The way you are interpreting us trying to be constructive and have a conversation; you see as us shutting voices down. There is no threats against banning people except for if the conversation turns from constructive to insulting, the thread will be locked.

making a shit post because your moving to fast and made a fundamental misunderstanding in the post isnt a constructive criticism as a mod you should know better then to rush like that. it is true people forget it happens the constancy and frequency im seeing is not acceptable.

you are a mod you are in a position of authority where you can administer bans. their are plenty of sheep far dumber far lazier then you that will see your post and come in right behind you doing far worse due to your simple mistake.

Again; I don't see how insults are constructive and assisting in your point at all. I see where you may think we were possibly misunderstanding something, but that doesn't in any way mean anyone was shitposting, nor does it mean we do not take our jobs seriously.

Soon he'll learn that on the Boards, reporting/censorship works much faster than in League, typically.

A question unrelated to the discussion at hand: What does a Warden do on boards?

Joxcab1 votes

They help manage behavior and stuff. They're basically mini moderators.

ModAttysu The Poro2 votes

I'm glad you asked! A PB Warden is a volunteer moderator responsible for fostering a positive environment on the Player Behavior board. Like the Arbiters we assist people with information pertaining to the in-game punishment systems, counsel players on how they can improve their behavior and react in a more positive way to the negativity of others, and act as a mediator on the boards by getting in front of inappropriate or disruptive posts through visible moderation which includes locking or deleting posts and talking directly to those involved.

If you ever need to speak with us directly, hit us up on the Moderation Discord here!

Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, the passage of time for me only runs in one direction, so waiting means I'm anticipating an event in the future, and if I don't want to wait that means I want to do it before then; therefore, if I don't want to wait for the post game to report, it means I'd like to report him before the game ends.

Thanks for your patience summoner, I look forward to our conversations in the future!

Brascus4 votes

You know the victory/defeat splash, add some honor/report buttons there instead of at the post game lobby. Sometimes I leave the lobby instantly just so I don't have to read whatever jargon some geniuses think of next.

Edit:

I actually really dislike pre and post game lobby, pre is just dread that you're going to get 'that' team mate, post game everyones measuring their insecurities. Though recently I've gotten some pretty chill team mates lately, the kind that laugh off mistakes, though I'm finding more ragers in bot games, it's weird.

What about a "flag for report" marker that pops the report screen up automatically after game, even if you skip post game chat

Deep Terror Nami4 votes

That seems acceptable. Just a red flag button on the Scoreboard.

THE D1C1 votes

That's all it needs to be, I guess we could make it a bit better, the Flag could also mute/mute ping automatically(a prereq to reporting if it's not bad enough to mute it shouldn't be reported anyways). After being flamed and called a "n*****" I don't want to read chat and/or see his/her/their pings anyways, obviously had nothing productive contribute.

Edit: /her/their

zPOOPz1 votes

I'm not sure it's a good idea to include an auto-mute all. There are many times where i get a flamer my games, but he is still trying to win and still properly pinging danger and on the way and such and calling out objectives properly.

Also many a time when someone flame someone else on the team and the one who got flamed muted the flamer and it ended there after the flamer realized the flammee can no longer see his text. The game resumed normally with the flamee not able to see the flamer text but both communicated normally, just not with each other. No need for mute or ping mute from the other 3 players.

edit: probably not being too clear. In all cases of a flamer on my team, whether I am the one being flamed or not, I will report (or "flag" in this context) the flamer. It does not mean I want to auto-mute the flamer. That decision should be manually decided by me. Muting certainly is not a pre-req for me to report anyone.

THE D1C1 votes

I am not saying the auto mute has to remain for the remander of the game even, but take my given scenario. I jungle right so I am used to the flame, for me when it's:

GG Jungle didn't camp stupid n* ping ping ping n* ping ping ping ??????????? stupid n*

One button = win

Also usually (because communication is key to victory) I usually unmute once said flamer has calmed down a little and I feel safe from tilt.

RacoonHunter3 votes

there NEEDS to be something.. either that or riot should actually fucking punish people. I just reported a player who in the POST GAME CHAT called me some very hateful things while I was reporting them for their in game content. Nothing.

Hell, I've reported SEVERAL players over the past two weeks who have been very hateful/intentionally afk/feeding etc. and riot has not done anything with these reports. no "thank you for your report, that player has been punished" etc. NOTHING.

Hell, there's times in PRE GAME that people are VERY toxic and yet, you are FORCED to sit through it in pre game AND in game where they can and will continue to be toxic, causing yourself to get increasingly angry at them and ruining the game for you. It's kinda dumb that you have to suffer through the toxicity before you can report the player, or dodge and sit there and wait 5-20 minutes to not even DEAL with that toxic player.

Electro5221 votes

If a player is that bad, to where you feel they should be banned on the spot, it's best to send in a support ticket. An in game report goes through a system, and for the player to be suspended or banned, they need quite a few reports in a short period of time. Sometimes, you have those players burst out rarely, which leads to less reports over the same period of time, so the system doesn't react as quickly. Though, sending in a support ticket has Riot do a manual review of the situation, which could lead to a ban with just one report.

Elikain1 votes

I think that the most important part is that you're not fuming with rage that much so that there's no room for reason. Everyone can get frustrated, even to the point of infinite salt but if reporting a certain player is important because he legit caused a loss on purpose, then it stands to reason to not black out from rage that you quit the end game screen before finishing your business.

I make it a point to report people i want myself and not rely on someone else's goodwill. That way i'm sure i did what i could've done for everyone involved.

crippler382 votes

I believe that the option would be fine to add so long as a comment box is not added, instead just the checkbox of 'toxic, afk, blah'.

A comment box also would be workable because I doubt anyone will go into great detail in the middle of a game.

Option is not necessary, but the option can be done quite easily.

Gluck2 votes

There's an easy solution to that. Make it a simple one click of a button "report this player" (in tab next to player icon) followed by a prompt AT POST GAME SCREEN for: Report choices, Report cancellation option (x), and text insertion.

This would be pretty easy to implement imho as it wouldn't require any extra coding of a report system into in-game, simply a trigger to bring up report menu on a specified clicked player upon post-game at the end of the match.

THE D1C2 votes

Yeah Exactly what I said

Hella Kaiser1 votes

we might want to use the 50 seconds we have to wait after death for something, no?

Deep Terror Nami4 votes

Tbh you should be observing the fight and making plans when you're dead. Will there be times that there really is no harm in filing a report in the middle of the match? Sure, of course there will. However, there will also be many times where you won't have that opportunity, but people will be distracted from the game and do it anyway.

Hella Kaiser1 votes

Aced oh, they're goin for baron... too bad i still have to wait 47 seconds...

and if you're already tilted by your allies flaming you, you won't bother planning and stuff... you just want the game to end. i know it's not what you should do, but we're humans and if someone has been flaming you for the last 40 minutes and refuses to surrender, you can't think straight... you're too concentrated on not flaming back!

but hey... i used the in-game reports of hots, and they don't impact the game. also i rarelly write the extra info in reports...

and i'm starting to lose hope on the report system... the message that tell you that one of your reports has been suspended/banned should pop up more often.

Ambient Snow1 votes

Its comments like this that make me wonder if you guys play the game?

I mean seriously

" If you're suggesting there should be a mid-game report option, no, there shouldn't be. We don't need players afk'ing while they write up a report"

umm Seriously? how long do you think it takes to write up a single report on some usually a single report takes like what.. 10-20 seconds? to select what the offender has done. Heck you would think this would be a GREAT idea cause you can then have a TIME stamp of when the report happened instead of having to replay or re pull a entire games chat log..

I mean if some one takes longer then 30sec to 1min to write a report (ESPECIALLY with the limitations you guys put in the type field) then some thing seriously isn't right.

But I agree with the original poster. Why not have a mid game chat aside from the stupid excuse of we don't want people afking for 20 sec to write a report?

I don't know how many times I'm so frustrated from trolls that I end up just wanting the game to be over so I can just Rapidly click play again just to get out of the soon to be toxic and rage filled After game chat logs from that person.

Deep Terror Nami3 votes

So you're ok with players going afk in your games? I guess the lower elo you go the less it matters, but I absolutely care and the vast majority of players don't like people idling when they can be doing something to help them win.

Ambient Snow2 votes

nice rip on my elo. Classy

But again you miss the point. If some one goes afk for 30 seconds to select " feeds, or Hate speech, or abusive language" And then type " User is being constantly offensive " that shouldn't take more then I dunno 10-15 seconds.

I can report faster then it takes one death timer to count down, Or faster then it takes my one character to walk from base to a tower. no one should be afk for excessive amounts of time to type a report. also, I would love to report people at the start of a game during that 2 min set up for people who are racist and hate speeching in side champion select that you have to sit through.

But its good to see that even the Blue's have blown up Ego's cause of ranking status.

Deep Terror Nami3 votes

This has nothing to do with rank, the vast majority of players do not want to see afk's in their game whether it has a huge impact or not.

no one should be afk for excessive amounts of time to type a report.

10 seconds is excessive, play the game and report later.

Ambient Snow2 votes

umm you're dead longer then 10 seconds at points in the game.

but kk Close minded is close minded and trying to converse is about as fun as having a conversation with a wall.

so what evs.

Deep Terror Nami3 votes

This isn't about the potential for players to make time for it without interfering with the game, it's about the inevitability that players will frequently stop and do this when they shouldn't. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to worry about that, but unfortunately that's not how life is.

Ambient Snow2 votes

Deep, its going to be ok. let it go.

Honestly as I said, you're close minded. so trying to justify your remark is pointless. you've already invalidated your conversation with me the moment you said

" I guess the lower elo you go the less it matters"

That just proves, that you dismissed my opinion because i'm as you put " lower Elo" which is kind of sad cuase you would expect more open mindedness form Arbiter instead of resorting to childish Elo shaming.

So its what ev's. As I pointed out it's like talking to a wall so i'm done.

so I bid you Adieu

Deep Terror Nami2 votes

Honestly, there should be an option for honoring people after the postgame screen as well. So many times I've had a great teammate/opponent that I want to honor, but I forget to do it in the post game screen because I click Play Again immediatly.
