The aftergame reporting is getting ridiculous

My thoughts are very scrabbled so bare with me when reading this. i was just reported on my smurf varusmid4ever for offensive language. There was no offensive language said in game or after the game by anyone. Tribunal robot needs a reboot. i got a message saying i was reported. in cases like these, messages should not be send to the player until the robot finds what riot deems to be an offensive language in the chat logs. Getting these messages right after being reported without evidence of the reportable offense makes no sense and has no justification. If i were to learn from being reported the best way would be to show the evidence my actions. If anyone could help justify the reasoning behind this i would like to listen. If anything getting this message makes me want to be more toxic because of there being so justification of the message being shown on my screen besides it saying you've been reported for so and so, we all have bad days. (edit) first game of the day of me playing my smurf again and i got reported and the same warning message popped up. This is getting really annoying and needs to be looked at already because nothing offensive was said in my game once again. "your recent behavior isn't in line with how most league of legends players act." makes me think being a good person is a bad thing, is this really the thing riot wants?

After the game is when you report folks.

False reports won't harm you. Yes, Riot really does need to re-word the pop up. But all we can do is ask for that and wait.

I actually agree wholeheartedly

That is the smallest problem... This warning is there to tell you just in case, if the report was false, why would you care?

Instead, Riot should probably focus on bringing back a system that doesnt make context 100% irrelevant and defending yourself a crime. Maybe like, you know... letting actual human beings judge would be good I think :D

This needs to be fixed. It actually is counter productive to have it as it currently stands. As it currently stands, the warning message doesn't serve as a warning. It's a random pop up box, so it's completely ignored and not taking seriously. It would be better to have nothing at all, because nothing is more negative that being falsely reported for something and being warned for something you didn't do, which in turn can turn into an actual toxic game the next game...get the same message(no distinguish between severity) and ignore the message altogether.

I would rather have a notification letting me know that someone reported me.

I'm pretty sure you are only notified of reports when there are several after the same match, and usually that means you managed to irritate several players for some reason. Offensive language can be anything from a joke that wasn't accepted well to outright death threats, not just profanity.

A robot that looks for "bad" words would have a very small number of words it could look for. There is a language filter that blocks out words that could be found offensive (it is toggleable), so riot clearly does not have a problem with "bad" words, but with how they are used. If they implemented a program to look for and ban people for using "bad" words then two things would come of this. There would be no need for an optional language filter, and it would put people like me and my friends who talk shit to each other when we are either getting destroyed to pass the time or we are super far ahead and give each other shit for making stupid plays (we do not do this to be mean to one another).
