Bring Back Reports for Unskilled Players!!!

No, really though. It's happened to everybody: you end up with someone on your team who is generally uncooperative with the rest of the team or doesn't understand simple game mechanics and you lose because of it. I understand everyone has bad games, but this goes beyond that. I'd like to be able to report these players so I don't end up with them on my team AGAIN because they queued up at the same time as me. I only have time for 1-2 games a day so this can really ruin my experience on LoL. Is anyone else with me????

There is no point, Reporting for unskilled never actually did anything it was simply a placebo report for people to vent off frustration and the system auto ignored any reports of these kinds.

Really??? That's disappointing. I've heard from a few different streamers that it would no longer match you with them :(

reporting someone for unskilled doesn't mean you'll never get matched with them again in the future.

It just minorly adjusts their MMR. This was more of a thing when Riot didn't have the MMR formulas correct, and required people to report these things to adjust them.

Which is why the report didn't actually adjust the reported player's MMR. That would be a crude way of fixing their problem that would also be prone to abuse. It was just a tool for gathering data and refining their matchmaking process. Basically, you never actually reported a player, you reported Riot's matchmaking system.
