  1. Screenshots can easily be faked.

  2. The boards are not the place to allow witch hunts against other players.

"proving"... yeah, right. Do you know how easy it is to fake a screenshot? At the end of the day only Riot can verify what actually happened and only Riot can actually do something about it.

There's absolutely no point in sharing the name with other players.

name shaming.

Just send it in a ticket and be done with it, no need to go to the boards to attempt people to witch-hunt said person.

Which is what 90% of people attempt to do, start a witch-hunt

No, it's supposed to defend every player's right to anonymity.

A system that is inherently flawed due to the fact that anyone can view anyone's match history and find the username of whoever it is who offended them in whatever situation it is that is being discussed.

What you think of a player is your opinion, not necessarily the whole truth.

You mean screenshots like this should be accepted as evidence?
