Does the report and ban system actually work, or is it just there to trick players?

Lately I've been reporting people who outright have admitted to griefing in chat, and ran it down, and even after reporting them, they are still playing the game. Does Riot actually check these players? Or does the report system just exist so that the people who try to win can feel like they can return the favor of getting griefed to the griefer?

Couldn't riot just do what Dota does, and implement a visible behavior score, and do match making based on that score? So the try hards can match with try hards, and the griefers can match with griefers?

It works, but the gameplay detection aspect isn't as efficient as the verbal part. This is because gameplay is harder to determine alone and many people "Reee! Troll/Inter" about the smallest thing.

It 'works' Just very strict on verbal but everything else is loose.

Basically its a incredibly shit system that is incredibly lenient.

Lots of evidence of known trolls playing 50-100 games and greifing before the system kicks in so thats up to 900 players with ruined games.

There's no automated system reviewing in-game behaviour, its just adds up reports for greifing and (Im speculating) looks for other stat data.

Riot wont work on it because its too hard to build it, afaik the last time they had a team looking at detecting trolling and greifing was about a year before the client update, and they ended up moving that dev team onto the client update. It was on Lyte's roadmap but just got pushed back and back because its too hard and naughty word filters are easy.

That really just highlights that they really don't care about it.
