Stop queueing me with people I reported last game

I sadly lost my last few games. It's early in the morning in EUNE so I know the playerbase is thin but the queue isnt even too long.

In the last 3 games I've had the same 2 people in my games. Once on the enemy team, twice on my team. Game 1: The previous Fiora topside, called my toplaner an autistic virgin kid and spammed the chat. Game 2: Same Fiora on my Team this time. Spammed the chat telling us she will piss on our faces and other insults. Edit: To Round up game 3 now. My Midlane Fizz who was Zed in the last 3 games was generally negative and told people they are bad, spammed pings when someone died etc., my ADC came back eventually to let everyone know that I am a boosted animal and Fizz and I deserve cancer and that both our families die and apparently trolling cuz I took the enemy blue (Solo!), before that Fizz taxed her for a gank and she left the game. Fiora/Kha let me know that am mentally ill and just suck overall.

Keep in mind, these are all the same people (dunno about my ADC, but 2 people here at least)

I had to report that Fiora/Kha/Zed three times so far. And this is gonna be the third time. Game hasn't even started and shes already talking bullshit again.

Can you stop queueing me with people I reported please Riot?

Edits: My ADC also just wished cancer upon my midlaner and me and that he hopes my mother does because a dog fucks her to death.

My previously Fiora, now Kha Jungle, just left the game for no apparent reason (edit: came back)

In all fairness, my topside Trynda seems to be a pretty chill dude tho

And most importantly, this kinda proofs that the Instant Feedback System is barely effective at all. How many times do I need to listen to the same people wishing me cancer in consecutive games, before they get a chatban? Why do I have to experience this in a game where the developer claims that they are combating toxicity.

If I get toxic people in my games, I wait for about 5 mins before starting another one. If they're still there, I dodge. They're in queue, I'm not anymore.

But that shouldn't an issue the player has to solve by making up workarounds like these.

It's about User Experience in this case. If I had an extremely negative experience the last game, I don't wanna be queued with these people again. And the way for Riot to track those negative experiences is through verbal abuse and hate speech reports.

The Feed report is being overused for instances where people dont feed intentionally.

I totally agree, it should be about the players. However, until the player gets punished, we can't really do anything about it. Innocent until proven guilty. Even if it's really stupidly obvious. I think the best thing Riot can do is have more people watching for toxicity and/or bring back the tribunal.

Just because you reported someone doesn't mean that person did anything wrong. You can report someone for any reason or absolutely no reason at all. What you are asking for is a way to abuse and manipulate matchmaking (which may or may not be your intention, but it will be abused this way). If you want to reduce the chance of being queued with someone you previously played, then simply wait a few minutes before hitting the Play button. It is a small inconvenience (by your own choice) to preserve the integrity of matchmaking.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I see the issue with that. Is there no other way than me having to either "re-queue" or dodge, something that Riot could implement to prevent this? One I can think of is to improve the instant feedback system. It is clearly not able to detect even obviously toxic behavior like this.

I remember hearing about how Valve is training an Anti-Cheat AI with the Data they obtain from players partaking in the Overwatch (sort of like old Tribunal) for CS:GO. I don't know the limits or possibilities here, but is that something Riot can use to properly detect toxic chat messages?

There is already code out there that learned what a positive and what a negative message is through machine learning.

Tribunal, as it was, wouldn't work. It had gotten backed up so badly, people were getting punished for things they had said/done months earlier. Eventually, it reached the point it wasn't even building cases anymore.

If they were to add a new version, the only way I could see it working would be as an audit check. Instead of issuing penalties, it would be used to gauge problematic behavior when the input is mot emotionally charged from bad games.

I know the current system adjusts according to what gets reported, but the reports themselves seem like they could become slanted due to salt and revenge reporting.
