Banned for "soft trolling". The person was trying to upset as many people as possible while not triggering any automated response. Sounds like they probably racked up enough reports to get a manual review.

More obvious forms of griefing get punished much sooner.

Soft trolling is hard to detect.

  • Multiple reports in a single game would add to that tally, but not increase the severity of the punishment.
  • Some of those reports could have been inaccurate.
  • Not all behavior reported is equally punishable -- a lot of the OPs offenses might have been relatively minor, but added up due to the sheer frequency with which they occurred.

its not easy. there are millions of reports filed every day and most of them are frivolous. "this guy played teemo support" or "he said ggez and it hurt my feelings".

how are they supposed to find the real trolls among the millions of reports?

Bruh, he didn't say that it took that many reports, he said that the dude had gotten that many reports over the account's lifetime. That doesn't mean it took that many, just that there were that many over the account's history.

The dude could have had numerous false reports in there somewhere, as well as up to hundreds of reports for other things before they started trolling.

I think this is more a case of you misinterpreting the data than a case of it actually taking 511 reports for someone to get banned.

{quoted}

"You have been reported 511 times in a little more than a month" - that is the direct quote from the post, i think we somehow confused tantrams lifetime report count statement which was in reference to his own accounts, not the guy who got banned.

Probably just misread.

BTW he only got a 14d for this.

Is he even allowed to release that information publically?

That seems a bit... sensitive to release in a post on a public forum.

Yeah, that was a head scratcher when I saw that too. That just seemed like too many reports and games to have gotten away with being a troll. Hopefully they improve and catch them faster. I'm guessing they manually reviewed that, causing the ban of the player.

Can you link the post?

this is the standard conflict. i get that trolling is hard to detect and riot cant review every single game, thats just impossible. but then again yea we have ppl who admit they troll, livestream it and do this for 100's if not 1000's of games. thats when i wonder whats going on
