why do reports not work

I just got done playing a game where I got placed with a 4man and all they would do is flame and type nonstop in allchat, teamchat, and the postgame lobby. I reported all 4 of them and nothing happened.

Why is reporting even a feature anymore as it doesn't seem to do shit compared to just 4 seasons ago.

How soon are you expecting something to happen? Read through this goddamn board, man. People are here bitching about their punishments all the time. You reported them, move on.

Sounds like you are looking for an instant punishment from the system, which also means that you aren't familiar with how the system really works.

The system punishes people based on consistency x severity. Meaning someone can get punished for 1 game with extreme toxicity or 100 games of mild severity (or something in between).

When a valid report is reviewed, the system returns a toxicity score and that score is accumulated in people's account. If the accumulated toxicity score passes a certain threshold, it will punish them. Of course, people can play clean games and that toxicity score will slowly reduce.

So if you've reported them, it will be part of what will get them punished in the future, assuming they continue with their toxic ways.

A few things you should consider:

  • Maybe the players you reported weren't consistent or severe enough to get punished.

  • Maybe you simply don't know that they were punished becuase you may not have received a notification.

  • The system is inconsistent at times.

  • Maybe the players you reported didn't get caught by the system.

Ultimately, you should never rely on the reporting system on getting players punished or receiving notifications
