After game report suggestion: Threat(s)

Makior72··1 votes·413 views

Title. As an option for reporting players "Threat(s)" Should be an option to select. I've been encountering this more and more lately where someone will either threaten to S.W.A.T me, talk about how they are going to break into my house and murder me, and (just recently) I played a game with a guy who at the very beginning of the game stated that tomorrow he will shoot up his school.

I realize there is a 99.99999% chance that these threats are not likely to come to fruition, but in today's culture you can never really be sure.

So, I think that this option should be added, and it should immediately have a human being, not an automated system, review each report of threats and if appropriate, report the threat to the appropriate authorities in that users area.

Yes, lets ignore the possibility that someone may actually kill X number of people tomorrow, and that action in the present could prevent tragedy in the future.... yes.... lets ignore that...

nope, taking the right precautions is never a bad thing.

I usually screen shot any occurrences like that and send in a support ticket.

But what you're suggesting is Riot to have a sort of on duty policeman watching the threat reports.

Sort of what it sounds like.

more or less, not something that necessarily has to be staffed 24/7 but just something that places a higher priority on threat reports.

I feel like riot could be able to manage this due to the fact that threats occur far less often in this game than your run of the mill troll.
