League of legends needs a way to report specic in game comments

Title is pretty self explanatory. Currently players can pretty much say whatever they want in chat and your report doesn't really mean anything unless that player receives multiple complaints in a certain time frame. during the game we should be able to click on the text box right click a players correspondence and report selected comments.

An auto mod program can sort the selected comments and elevate ones that meet certain criteria for admins to review. I've been playing games online since the late 90s and I've never seen this level of hatred, racism and toxicity because back then people moderated their own games and simply kicked out players who were asshats.

The current system does nothing to prevent trolling and hatred in the game.

No, that’s not true. A single report is enough to get someone punished. If the game’s chat is punishable, it does not matter whether they said 100 “good” lines or 10 “good” lines - if they were misbehaving in chat as a whole, one report will get them punished. The system already picks out lines that are inappropriate (and groups of lines, in case someone sends 2-3 messages that on their own are okay but as a whole are not appropriate) when evaluating chat.

That's how the system works already. The verbal side is fully automated and rarely requires human intervention.

The other part of the system that you may not be aware of is that it punishes people based on consistency x severity. Meaning people only get punished if they have multiple instances of misbehavior. In this case, multiple can mean a few dozen games.

The system also currently does a pretty poor job in providing feedback in regards when people get punished, making players feel like their reports don't do anything.

Congratulations! You have just found a fundamental flaw of the instant feedback system.
