Punishment System

Can we talk about the reporting system and the inability to honor the enemies?

First off, The bad about the reporting system what exactly is punishable and how much does someone have to be reported before any (if any) action is taken against a person, the only three I am aware of are "chat muted" "player suspended" and "perma banned". If some fucking dickhead in my game is 0/7 13 minutes in, and he refuses to stop being toxic or is braindead and can't communicate or understand pings what am I supposed to do with him? What is there to do when someone on your team is dedicated to losing the game** and **tilting teammates.

Second, I miss being able to honor my enemies. It was the best form of sportsman ship I have EVER seen in a game. The only game im aware of that is popular and has this is overwatch (and its a bit of a secret to get to the screen to honor them). Sometimes fuck yeah, that yasuo/zed outplayed the shit outta me and I gotta hand it to him. Its not even the players being toxic anymore its all this champion cockiness that seems to be coming out of nowhere which BTW first appeared with the Fire Elemental Lux Skin. I liked it more when you had to CHOOSE to taunt and not have champions blabbering the fuck on about what an easy kill that was, or HoW cOuLd I hAvE dIeD.

The issue with honoring enemies is that people end up trading honor for honor, honor for reports, things like that. I miss it too, but encouraging people to look for honorable behavior in their teammates is very good at encouraging cameraderie and reducing toxicity.

First, you're supposed to report them. If theyre truly dedicated to losing, the only recourse you have, is to report them as griefing. As far as how many reports it takes to get a review, its just one. Im sure Riot has to go through many bogus reports from the report-happy playerbase before they get to your report though (remember 0/7 at 14 minutes isnt automatically against the rules). Not sure how much info youre seeking about it, but the punishment tiers are 10game chat restrict, 25 game chat restrict, 14 day ban, permaban. Gameplay offenses are automatically escalated to a 14 day ban, and eggregious chat offenses like "hate speech" and encouraging self harm, are also escalated to 14 day bans. You can look up any further information.

Second, I agree. I miss honorable opponent mentions.
