Reporting Toxic, Abusive Players Does Nothing Anymore, Huh?

Honestly, does anyone else feel the same?

Let me set the stage for ya’s.

I played a game last night, in normal draft (I know, dumb idea) and at first things were going well. I tried saving my jungler who had got caught in river by my laner and their jungle. I got a double but he died though he didn’t seem to triggered by it. Fast forward to me roaming to the enemy jungle to, yet again, help my jungler who was attempting to steal the Aurelian sol jungle’s blue (who is of course near death while I’m a level 6 Diana; yummy). Yi goes to get the blue and I obviously am going to ult the Aurelion. Just as I kill him, Yi flashes from the blue buff to attempt to kill him. I’m thinking, ok if I knew he wanted that kill I wouldn’t have w’d as I e’d him. But of course now Yi is agitated and proceeds to tell me “I’m not helping you anymore” as if I’ve needed the help all game. Fast forward again to me roaming to the enemy jungle while Yi is taking the mountain drake. I see aurelion at chickens, pretty low again, so I think “eh, fuck it, I’ll send him to his fountain. All the while Yi spam pinging the dragon (objectives are important I know, but he clearly was able to solo since the other lanes were preoccupied).

Now this is where it gets wild y’all (as if Aurelion Sol jungle wasn’t wild enough).

After soloing the dragon, Yi proceeds to get pissy with me for not helping him. I said “you clearly were able to solo alone.” To which this guys response.

This guys response was....

“I had to smite!”

.........

My dude. You mean to tell me. That you had to use. A summoner spell that is required to secure objectives in the jungle? That. Is something I’ve never heard of.

Then of course you get the typical response. “Muted you whore.”

Then he goes on to tell the enemy team I’ve ks’d him all game and then the enemy team starts calling me out calling me a whore and a skank, etc etc etc. (yeah they were only trying to tilt me, I ignored it.)

Any who, long story short. How is that not ATLEAST chat restrict worthy? 14 day suspension? Honestly, I get this kinda stuff all the time, and personally I do not think it’s fair on the female community.
I. Freaking love this game. But why is it the community’s voice never heard when you report toxicity? I’ve reported people telling them to “kys”, people calling their teammates “mentally challenged” and plenty of other things. The mute button is great. I get it. But why should we have to mute people that could’ve been restricted in the first place.

Long post, I know, I just want to hear your all’s opinions on the matter.

Didn’t there used to be a like a tribunal thing where actual players decided on reports or something like that? Idk, I just got back into playing at like s6 I think.

I just made a post regarding this. I've heard some borderline criminal things be said in game; many involving hate speech and death threats, over the past three months I've returned to the game. Not a single notification was received that any of the reported players have been punished.

This approach Riot has towards toxicity recently has had me doubting my return.

It's possible he, and the others if you reported them, DID get at least a chat restriction if that is what they said, but you didn't get the notification for it. You're not likely to get the notification like you used to.

I believe a Red has said the reason for that was to prevent witch hunting? But I could be remembering wrong.

it you're talking results, it works just fine, i mean just glance at these boards

if you're talking some kind of instant-gratification every time you report someone you dont like, no not so much

That was a great story xD You made a pathetic story (on the League Boards no less) sound absolutely hilarious. I love your energy.

Getting called a whore and a skank tho? Really? I find it hard to believe that you "get that all the time," because in my ~5,000 games I've seen that kind of shit ONE single time and I stood up for her.

I really don't know what more you want them to do. If that player repeats similar behavior in multiple games, they will get chat restricted. I suppose you could chat restrict people for the first offense, but that would be overly harsh. And even if you did that, you'd still get players behaving like this, because this behavior needs to happen before they can be punished for it. Minority Report isn't real.

UPDATE:

Let’s not start arguments in the comments please. I was simply stating my story and sharing my disappointment in a part of the League community. Let’s all get along and be positive :)

Usually I just get punished for reporting by getting that same player on my team for the next couple games.
