Does the "report" button even work?

I know this is a silly question but I just met this Swain that AFK next tower and flamed our team.... Did Riot implement a notification system just like Valve's which notifies you if a player you reported has been punished? Because I have encountered so many feeders and griefers everytime I play norms and I always report them but never know if they have been punished. Or maybe there is a notification system but LOL just has some serious flaws? Who knows?

In all honesty, it really doesn't work; like, it works, but it doesn't do anything about 90% of the time. I've sent the literal replay files of players trolling through support tickets yet can OP.GG them later on to see absolutely nothing having been done.

Riot's too lazy to actually fix the toxicity their game has. And why bother when people still fork them a bunch of money? (Not that I can speak much on this last part. '>.>)

Afks and DCs are dealt with by the leaverbuster. The punishments handed out are different than those handed out by the IFS to trolls and flamers.

When you push that report button and submit your report, things are happening. Just because you can't see or recognize them happening physically does not mean nothing is happening.

They have it, but it doesn't come up very often, as it only appears if your report was the final one to get them punished. I personally think that's something they need to fix.

If you look at the rest of the PB board, you'll see plenty of examples of people getting punished

simple : no if 3 or less ppl are reporting....at 4 ppl (they may auto ban or) riot's crew member may read smth..... i guess you are the 560789th player to wonder why 99.9 insulters/troll/feeders not being reported 'you know bc u dont get the info. Explanation is simple : they're just not worried....now automatic system : u annoy some premade who reports you ?? no need you have chatted once, you got malus in automatic honor system... hey you ks to save him/prevent fleeing ?? ->>>> u angry a guy ->>>> he flame and his premade(s) will rept you aswell....end of story, since some ppl report you, there IS a reason, isn't it? ....same story with u ping theire obious death coming......WHAT ...U DARED TO USE PING???? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK U R to predicted their death !!!! it s YOUR fault !!! if you wouldnt have pinged, ennemy wouldnt have hurt them and would keep chasing without seeing ur mate !!! So get reported !!

A couple months ago i had an ADC who called our jungler a "c*cksucking jew" (they didnt actually censor it like i did) and told them to go die in a gas chamber "like they already should have" just because he didnt gank their lane enough.

I gave a very detailed and concerned report. It has been months and i still have not seen the little "a player you reported was punished" message.

Absolutely disgusting.
