Does reporting even do anything?

It seems like reporting does nothing. I am constantly getting feeders, and toxic players, and people who leave games. Almost every game I get people who just sit and cuss everyone out the whole game. I got a game today where I had a Varus go mid and feed a Yasuo, and he was sitting and cussing me and my duo partner out because we were "doing bad" even though we were doing fine until we kept getting camped by the enemy team jungler. Then at the end of the game he lied and told everyone to report us because we "told him to kill himself" even though nobody said anything even relatively close to that. I get junglers who don't gank, top laners who just stay top all game, supports who take ignite and steal kills on purpose. It's literally one of the most toxic communities that I've ever played with.

it does, just that the system's visibility is low so it makes you think that nothing happened cos they don't tell you when someone is punished (unless the game you reported them in was the one that punished them).

If you look at the "New" section of the very board you're posting on, you'll see some players complaining about their ban. So obviously reporting does do something.

Yes it does. but if your expecting an immediate ban, then your missing th point. Reporting someone takes time, one report from one game is reviewed and cataloged onto the players history. If the player gets too many or is reported too often in a short amount of time, He is given a warning. if they continue, another warning, chat bans or suspensions. AFTER THAT, then we can talk about PERMA BANS.

TL;DR Does reporting even do anything? Yes.

Reporting makes angry people even angrier. Makes sad people even sadder. Perpetuates the cycle of revenge. Enlarges ego.

nope. punishment is all done by a computer program. the report button is a placebo to make the players feel better.
