Pregame lobby reporting #2

DNR·1/23/2020, 1:41:47 AM·1 votes·2,266 views

I've seen people say this before and idk why riot doesn't put this in the game. There are so many racist/troll people that get into lobby knowing very well that nothing will happen because riot has no idea how to fix that problem when just put it in. And also why cant you report friends? I think you should be able to because if a troll adds me after a game to say racist/verbal abusive things they should be able to be banned. "Well you can just not add them" Is a stupid thing to say because they will keep doing it to abuse riots system and not get banned. Rather id just take the bait and have them flame and get them the EZ Ban. RIOT DO SOMETHING!

Well, .. if you're accepting them as friends, it SHOULD be safe to assume that you would accept what they say as banter, and Riot has to acknowledge that happens.

If you're accepting their friend request in order to bait them into being toxic, or to play the vigilante to get them banned, you're inviting that trouble onto yourself. It's like saying I'm going to invite a shady looking stranger into my house, then call the cops on them for stealing my things.

As for pregame reporting. .. it's sort of a slippery slope. Riot isn't making a social networking app, .. the communication between people in a lobby isn't anywhere near as important to them as the communication during a game. Reporting things like summoner names, toxic / offensive dialogue, negative attitude, troll picking / banning, ... these things are bad, I agree that you should be able to report someone for it, .. HOWEVER, when the lobby ends up being disbanded before an actual game starts, you end up with a rough, .. 2 minutes? .. Nowhere near a full game, and most likely something you will forget about by the time your next game starts.

How do they abuse the system if people just don't accept their request? :O
