Getting Honor From Reporting People

Now I think something that League could use is getting honor easier. So i've come up with a plan. Whenever you report someone and if the player you reported gets punished you should get some honor for keeping League a bit better. Not only does it honor it pushes players to report people for toxicity, and inting more often and can probably reduce it by a bit. Or instead of honor give things like key shards.

Everybody reporting everybody after every match seems detrimental.

thats... a stupid idea. from my 6 years of LoL experience i can tell that (no joke) over 99% of the people i meet never read the rules. around 80% dont know that one report has the same effect as 9.

all this would do is make people beg for even more reports as they think "oh hey 9 reports gets them punished for sure".

also everyone would report everyone for nothing. it already is like that but it would be even worse. i mean why not? false reports dont lower my report value anymore so there is no downside. if i always report all 9 people my chances of one of them being punished are higher.

and as i already said, people already report everything. i dont think someone who is legit toxic or inting or trolling is able to play a game without getting at least 1 report.

Would remove legitimacy from reports

While I like the idea of keeping league clean, I'd stay away from things that would sway people into reporting others.

People already get triggered enough with how others ask and rally for reports. We don't need more reasons for people to do more of it.

It would likely overload the system with pointless reports, and it would encourage players to find ways to provoke other players into committing an offense without doing so themselves.

And would also just create a witch-hunt-y atmosphere throughout the game, which is definitely a negative.

I suppose one way you could discourage this negative behavior would be to cause players to lose honor if they submit non-valid reports, but that would probably have the effect of discouraging players from reporting actual offenses.

I would be cool as long as there are the equivalent and opposite effects when someone reports and the report is deemed "invalid" by riot.

Seems like a horrible idea, and getting honor isn't even complicated if you play well and don't rant out on your teammates.

The original version of Tribunal gave 5 ip for correctly voting on cases. It lead to accusations of spamming punsh. When Riot removed the reward, accuracy in voting actually improved.

This was for voting on games players had no stake in. For players who have just come out the game in question and may hold a grudge? Yeah, reaally bad idea. All it would do is is increase reporting from achievement hunter types reporting everything, making it harder for the system to catch actual problems.

As much as I enjoy toxic players being punish... I dislike this idea somehow.

Would definitely make the game more toxic. Just be nice, learn some strats, and be a team player and you’ll get honors. No need for high fives for being a snitch.

This is one of the most hilariously poorly thought out posts this board has seen. As it stands the IFS issues no sort of penalty for false reporting. You can file 9x reports at every single postgame screen with zero repercussions to your account. Reports aren't weighted. The whole system is largely automated and quite frankly it's questionable if reporting really does much of anything at all. There really isn't anything stopping every single player's actions in every single game from being analyzed by the IFS. Supposedly, all reporting does is just flag a game to be reviewed by the IFS. This could just be a placebo effect in action.

Knowing this, being the vengeful person that I am, I routinely file reports on several if not all other players in the matches I play. If for any reason at all I feel like my fun was spoiled by another player, I just fire off those reports. This in turn leads to seeing the "an unsportsmanlike player has been punished.." message popping up as much as 2-3 times a day for me. Rito has created a real monster in the IFS that hands down devastating punishments to player accounts like candy on Halloween night. What they need to realize, is that for some players it's created a new gaming meta. For some of us, it's not about winning or losing the team match. It's about seeing how many other players we can throw under the IFS bus. For some, literally nothing is juicier than seeing other players self-incriminate their way into an IFS punishment and getting that popup of justice afterward.

The really ugly part of this is that there are a bunch of things you can do in game, that won't be seen as negative behavior by the IFS (or at least not sufficiently negative to warrant a punishment), to in turn trigger other players into committing acts that are punishable by the IFS. Subsequently, they are reported at postgame and punished by the system leading to those juicy popup messages.

This sounds like what the tribunal used to do forever ago.
