Asking for reports in game/post game lobby.

Is this bannable?

I'm tired of seeing people asking the entire team and/or other team to report someone for 'x' behavior.

It actually does get people to report them, even if it isn't deserved. I think if you ask people to report someone, you should get an instant 14-day ban for trying to manipulate others in to having the system take false action against another players account.

Can anyone clarify if this is punishable?

It's reportable, and through doing it often enough they would get punished, yes.

It doesn't matter about the increased number of reports though, the system isn't that stupid. It won't take false action from that. One report is enough to scan a game, the other reports just scan the game with the same output, but it's still only one game's weight.

You sure about that? I was under the impression that the more reports = the more severe punishment they will take.

Apparently me asking my team to hold pressure while I split in my last game instead of farm the jungle, is enough for someone to ask "report xin" even though I was doing the best by far on my team. The enemy team of course partook in reporting me apparently, since they were frustrated with me because of all the ganks.

When they made the IFS, one of the things that was done was to account for the tendency of premade groups to try and mass report other people. So they deliberately made it so that it doesn't allow for that.

And it's become enough of an annoyance to players, that it's now considered a form of harassment to repeatedly threaten teammates with reports, or ask for reports against them. It's rather surprising how few players actually know the truth about the way the reporting system works.

Its reportable yes.. but, in all honestly some times its for the better, simply because it brings it to the attention of the enemy of whats going on .. I know if i'm in a game and I have some one Raging hard core in Team chat.. or intentionally feeding or threatening I would want it to be aware for the other team because it needs to be fully reported..

now if they are doing it EVERy game even to people who are innocent I just report them for negative attitude

but it depends on the situation really

a lot of time people won't report and just click play again unless you bring it to their attention

asking for reports specifically is only punishable in game, and there are actual statements from rioters encouraging people to wait until postgame lobby so it doesnt distract from the game
