dear riot. Please make false reports punishable.

You know there are about billion frustrated players who just go on an on like "just report udyr" who is 2/7/2. He did not feed on purpose most likely. So reports aimed at him should be marked as "false" (as a third option to convict and pardon). If an account reaches some quantity of false reports they get the ban. Then amount of people reporting others just from their own frustration would be lower.

if you have been reported by alot of false reports, nothing happens to you

if they are they ones doing alot of false reports, their report weight lowers and its harder for them to punish others.

and asking others to report someone, can cause another person to be tilted, play worse & make bad decisions. In NA, asking for others to report another person can yield them a report against them under harassment.

THey already are, it makes their reports to lose weight.

If you are being punished by "false reports" then there may be some other issues on your end.

how would they determine they are false? read through the millions of daily reports 1 by 1 and watch gameplay? impossible.

No, but they should be monitoring gameplay on a random basis and punishing those people they find. This would go a long way towards cleaning up a lot of the BS and supply some deterrence.

The problem is that "false" is really impossible to determine.

You are 100% positive that udyr wasn't intentionally feeding. I think he was. Only Udyr knows for sure.

You thought that Udyr telling me that I was bad and should uninstall was fine. I thought Udyr was toxic.

There's no practical way to do this though. You're talking about millions of games being played each day across different servers. The entire company is only 2000 employees large. Let's say Riot hires 100 employees to monitor games including chat. Assuming a 40 hour work week, that's a total of 4,000 hours of gameplay to sit through. Let's assume that an average game of LOL takes about 30 minutes. That's a grand total of 8,000 games to be watched world wide. According to the latest statistics that we have, 27 million people play the game daily source. Even if you divide that number by 10 (since there are 10 players on SR) that's an average of 2.7 million games played a day. The odds of you getting your game monitored are about 1 in 2362. It's unlikely that a system like that would ever work.

I am guessing you didn't read the word random? It's fine because I expect that from the posters here.

Ramdomness has nothing to do with this. The odds of your game, or a game where X player would punished from a monitoring system is, quite frankly, unlikely. It would not change anything.

You must be really young to not understand what it is that I am saying. Then again, here in America, steps for prevention are never taken until the whole problem comes crashing down onto everyones heads. It is slowly happening in League and if they don't do something to get control then the game will be gone or suited only for the pros. Randomness has everything to do with it. The threat of having riot watching your game would be enough to deter many people from being idiots. I am sorry you don't understand that. Maybe when you get older and wiser and learn how the world works you will.

INB4 you come back here and tell me that I don't know you blah blah blah blah. The way you wrote your posts tells me everything I need to know about how young your mind is and how inexperienced in the real world you truly are.

Under that line of logic, no one would ever cheat on their taxes because the IRS might investigate and prosecute you. However, cheating on taxes happens all the time. This has to do with the risk reward assessment. The risk is, the IRS will audit you, and make you pay back the back taxes that you owe along with fines and possible jail time. The issue becomes, that the IRS has such little man power that the chances of you being audited are very slim.

The same logic applies here. There is a chance that your game will be randomly screened and possibly punished by Riot. The problem is the massive amount of manpower that would be required to make this effective. You would need to almost double the size of the company, to hire people that only watch games for trolls, flamers, feeders etc. From a business prospective, that make no financial sense. Not to mention that the odds of you actually being monitored are tiny, there is no disincentive for people to trolling etc.

LOL. Thanks for playing Mr. Troll.

This does not matter. Their AI system while far from perfect does not do anything with false reports. Every report is validated by their system. As long as you don't break the rules when you are reported nothing will happen. That is the truth. There is no problem here at all.
