"It Doesn't Matter How Many Times You Report Somebody"

I was playing as a jungler in a normal game, and the duo lane (I suppose they were queued together) were flaming me in all chat and saying things such as "This Lee" every time they died. I chose mainly not to respond, but they continued. I would be on the opposite side of the map and they would cry in all chat that I never ganked. (Not even true.) Then later, the support told me I deserve to be raped. Like anyone else would, I reported the two. However, I haven't received the message "Due to recent feedback, this person has been punished blah blah." So you can only get a chat restriction if more than 1 person reports you, I suppose?

Remember, it's an automated system. You have to be toxic over various matches, not just one, because everyone has a bad game from time to time.

If someone says something that would usually escalate their punishment, you need to contact support instead of relying on an automated system that allows for minor slip-ups when the offense is not a minor slip-up.

If that makes sense?

Anyway, the system is working as intended but the person you reported probably needs human intervention.

The message only happens if the match you reported them in triggered a punishment, and you still won't always get it. It generally takes quite a lot more than 1 match to get punished. Punishments are calculated per match, not per report, so only 1 person needs to report them for that match to count against them.

When people are acting like that, mute them early on. They are only going to cause you problems otherwise.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you only see that message if you're the last person to report said person before they receive their punishment. So if it takes hypothetically 5 people for a punishment, and you're reporter 1-4, you won't see that message. I could be totally wrong though.
