Someone doing poorly does not magically exaggerate their speech to report worthy levels.

I just had a game of GP top lane where i did very poorly.

I got camped early game and after getting 2 kills my lane opponent was able to 1 shot me under my own turret, I ended the game 0/5/0.

After hitting this mark, our blitzcrank said in all chat "report GP for toxic racism", our midlaner claimed that the enemies should do this as well.

I said only a few sentences this game, the only thing i could even think of that could be misinterpreted as that was at the beggining where i stated a preference for english muffins.

They were perfectly fine with this at the time, but when i started feeding my lane, suddenly it was toxic racism. Even at the end of the game my team cursed at me again. I wasn't even the largest feeder at the time, our jinx was 0/8/0, and our blitzcrank (who was the one who flamed me the most) was feeding even harder.

In this case, I would just report them for Negative Attitude/Unsportsmanlike Behavior and move on. Furthermore, I've been accused of things I didn't do in the past by my teammates, so I would recommend taking screenshots and submitting them in a ticket to Riot Support. Players who lie and misrepresent things don't deserve to be playing this game in my opinion and hopefully the Riot Support Team can help you with your situation.

First of all, flaming you and Report Calling by telling the enemy team to report you are all reportable offenses themselves. Whether or not you decide to use the Instant Feedback System is entirely up to you, but it would be the only way to track their negative behavior if they continue to act the same way in future matches.

Secondly, the IFS is a mostly automated system that learns from itself over time, and it knows what to look for in champion builds and chat logs in order to determine what actually did violate the rules and what didn't. In other words, if someone reports you for Hate Speech and even types in the box that you said something racist it won't matter if you never actually said something against the rules. Also, because it compares your data to that of other players in champion choice, item builds, and other stats, the system is able to determine if you were feeding intentionally or just having a bad game. In fact, it usually takes longer for the system to take action against feeders because it seems to need to see a trend in their match history. All the other 9 people in a match can make false reports against you, but it won't force the system to give you any type of punishment. You have to actually say or do something against the rules in order for action to be taken against you.

Thirdly, if players make false reports repeatedly then the IFS will actually give less weight to their reports in the future. So in the long run they are only harming their own account by behaving in the way you described because they can be reported for that behavior themselves and the IFS does have its own way of dealing with people who constantly make false reports.

tl;dr don't worry about it, bro [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
