Why do people care?

GamblerOfLives··2 votes·748 views

I'm really curious as do why people care about getting someone punished. Sure in the heat of the moment i would love for that particular guy to be banned. But if you ask me the next day, i would honeslty not give a fck about it.

Sure, i report sometimes when i am tilted and someone intentionally tries to throw the game or he is flaming and doesn;t shut up. But i honestly would not go the extra mile just to punish someone (like submitting a ticket)..Reason is simple : I don't care.

If the system catches you or not, it's whatever. I don't really care all that much.

I don't realy know why you guys care. It's just a game, that sometimes makes people tilt. Sometimes when i play league i just listen to music and do my own thing. People can flame do whatever they want. It really doesn;t bother me. And sometimes, i get tilted by someone, the guy is flaming etc. And i report him ( to be honest everytime i report someone it's in game that we lost) but if you'd ask me the next day, if I would want that player banned. I would not care.

Why does it mean so much for you guys if that particular player gets punished or not. Is it really worth your time?

Yes. For all of 10 seconds it took me to describe something along the lines of "Told me to kill myself with bleach" in the report box, to see a few days later a notification that the prick was banned was totally worth it.

To be honest i would fine that very funny:)))..I don't know about you, but i would laugh really hard at that..

I mean, sure, i would have reported that guy, just to see the message pop:))..to see if i can get him banned. But, i would not care even if he was not banned:)..Banned or not, it's whatever.

Kind of curious, you took that personal?

You seem to be asking two things simultaneously. You asked at the end of your original post whether it was worth my time - the answer is yes because of the lulz results and the feeling of justice. Could I let it go? Is it going to be on my mind the next day? Probably not. It doesn't make it not worth doing in the moment however.

So yes - part of me does care, but the only reason I report is because the small degree to which I care is in proportion to the small amount of effort necessary to see that they pay for being dicks.

You seem to not be able to fully understand what i said. In my first paragraph i was talking about submitting a ticket. After that, and this was my mistake for not being more clear. I was asking if it's worth taking the time to see if that particular player was punished or not.

And as i mentioned. I do report others too. Mostly because i need a way to vent after a frustrating game. After that, i don't care if Riot punished that guy or not. It's whatever for me

I see what you're saying. I skimmed through it the first time and didn't realize that by "ticket" you were referring to actually going on the website and submitting a ticket to Riot, as opposed to the 120 character message in the post game screen.

No, I can't understand why someone would go that far unless something reasonably serious was at stake, like a ruined Diamond promo series. Some people just have really thin skin.

Would you spend time with someone who doesn't have basic manners and self control, is a fire starter and obscenely vain?

Would you wish this person on strangers?

Are you this person?

  1. online game, i'm just playing the game, i don't really care about other players

  2. I don't care. I am not here to purge the league comunity

  3. Everybody has bad games. Even i tilt sometimes. But not to an extent where i am flaming or talking too much in a game. But, sure, sometimes i point out mistakes that are losing us the game. I feel like i need to give an example so people get it right. If someone gets caught when baron is up. Makes a really bad move. I would say. "hey man, maybe next time stick with the team and not get caught- you just lost baron bcs of that". Maybe people think this is flaming. But, i don't see the harm in this. Sometimes people need to be told what to do (in this case what not to do) in order to win a game:)

Do you enjoy it when people highlight your mistakes after you screwed up?

Most of the time people don't even know they screw up:).. If someone repeats a mistake, and i ask you nicely not to get caught and stay with the team this time, is it not safe to assume that the guy doesn't know he is making a mistake in the first place?.

I don't see the harm in this.. But maybe you see it and for some reason you are holding it back. Share your thoughts:)

Also, does this questionary has an outcome? Or you're just asking questions for no reason?

You would understand this feeling better if you ever served as a game servers admin. Having done such for years on a voluntary basis, I personally prefer to see rules upheld. When I originally joined the league, I hoped that upon reaching level 30. I myself could join the fabled Tribunal. However the tribunal was effectively shutdown before I could even do anything. Now I simply take my 15-30 seconds per game to write up concise reports on people who clearly violated the summoners code. It's not so much that I care (and I do mind you). I simply feel like I am helping, even if it is a very small gesture. The thought that I reported someone who may eventually get banned is a satisfying feeling. Keeps me motivated on playing this game even more.

Yeah, well, i was never an admin.

I can understand the justice you feel your doing. But if we were to be honest here. like trully honest. You are putting your faith in an automated system. I'm not here to argue the system. I think it does it's job to an extent. Mostly, they punish everything that's not even flaming. It just punishes people that argue too much in the game. If 2 players have a civil argument and they talk all game long and somebody reports them. It's a high chance that they will get punished.

When dealing with people, it's best to have a person look into this cases, instead of an automated system. This is my opinion.

To be honest that text you can write when you report someone. I hardly think anybody reads them. It's just there to help people vent.

For example, i had a game in which i played nasus. I was fed, my team was feeding. I told them what to do and go mid and let me push bot. And if they come for me, to do baron. First time, they get caught and die- i had to waste TP to stop baron. Second time, i got caught but they didn;t do baron. Third time my team finnaly did baron. This whole game someone was flaming me.

After the game i reported that person. And i said in that text. "She doesn;t know GATES":)))=))

Regarding reporting and stuff. I do report others that bothers-very rarely i use this feature and mostly i use it on my losing games- and as a way to vent. But, I don't care man.. if the guys gets punished or not it's w/e for me...

We all had bad games where we said something we didn;t intended to say, or games where we fed like hell. Everybody has them. Do i feel like i'm doing the comunity a favor, if i report and possible ban a player? Hell no.. The comunity is not devided into flamers and civil guys:)..it's really not..Everybody can be both:).

Actually it was previously stated (can't find the source). That while "some" punishments are automated. Punishments that ultimately lead to a ban are handled by humans. Contrary to belief and all, Riot would be asinine to completely rely on a automated system. So far to my knowledge the system only chat restricts you if you use a specific list of "bad words" certain times. Weighs this number against how many reports or so. Then it uses a algorithm to essentially say how long your punishment will be. But if memory recalls it's a Rioter in the reform department that actually issues the chat restriction. The system just flags you for punishment.

It's because they messed up your experience, and most people don't think the person should continue ruining other people's games. If they were, say, toxic, you would want them banned or punished so that, hopefully, they won't ruin another game for someone else, or ruin another one of your games, if you have the misfortune to cross paths again.

Well, i must be special:))..

I don't report people just so the other players that might encounter this guy, be saved from an awfull experience:)..i report them because i am mad at them in that particular game:) If they get punished or not, i don't care.

Never said there wasn't an element of catharsis in reporting someone because they pissed you off. I someone would be lying if they denied that it gave them no satisfaction that this guy could get what's coming to him.

Sure, i would be satisfied if that guy was punished, bcs i am pretty mad at him (simple as that), but, this feeling comes in the heat of the moment. If the guy gets punished or not the next day, i won't care at all:) Would probably not evem remeber his name:)
