Riot report feature just doesn't work

So I was in a game, and straight out of the gate, I have Tahm Kench troll by eating me, and trying to steal buffs/slow down my jungle clear, and shit talk me for playing Talon. Top doesn't watch red, and Shaco gets a deep ward in on it, and flash smites my camp before killing me. I would have gotten there earlier, but Tahm Kench was troll eating and holding me inside. He also refused to damage the blue buff, thankfully our Adc gave me the best leash they could.

Fast forward to mid game, and I'm like 1-4 after enemy team camps my jungle. Shaco is unstoppable, but I'm finally about to kill him. I jump the wall I have the kill 100%, and then Tahm Kench eats me, holds me inside, and lets Shaco live. That is the point where I get angry, and start flaming him for it. After that he tried to have his duo partner steal my red while he ate me.

I report the Tahm Kench, and I get chat restricted because I was angry in game for a valid reason. It's funny because in silver my teammates aren't nearly this toxic. I'm tired of playing with plat and gold in normals. I'm sticking to ranked from now on because Riot's matchmaking needs work. I don't want to play with toxic crybabies, they are worse than new account matchmaking.

Maybe I should just stop playing your game Riot? You guys don't seem to care that your system doesn't work, but since it doesn't affect you, who cares right? This is the thought pattern that is causing your game to die. Trolls that troll in chat is one thing, but a teammate that trolls, goes out of their way to ruin the game, and sabotage you is much worse than nearly anything they can insult you with.

Allow us to at least toggle off Kench's ability to eat us, he even tried to steal my jungle camp by eating me, and holding me inside while they take the camp. For trundle there really isn't anything you can do though since stopping an ally from getting knocked up, or blocked by his ice pillar would be op.

READ ME BELOW.

It seems a lot of you are missing the point of my post completely. This is not an attack on Riot, I'm simply trying my best to bring attention to a very big problem. I've seen this happen to others as well, and I'm not here to throw around needless insults. I was frustrated when I wrote the post, but I still stand by what I said. [sg-janna]

Being angry in a game is fine. Flaming teammates or being negative in chat is not, which is why Im guessing you got the chat restrict. You can just report the other players and move on. It sucks that it happens but it does. Negative/Toxic/Troll players are more likely to be on the enemy team than on your own. Keeping that in mind can really help you deal with it better when it happens.

Riot report feature just doesn't work

It certainly functions. Reporting is basically put into two categories: something their software can scan for and something their software cannot scan for. Verbal abuse is easy to for an AI spot. Griefing is impossible. It's very common to have a griefer (jungle sabotage, support trying to steal farm from ADC, etc) unpunished while the person they bait into yelling at them for it gets punished. Unless you want Riot to hire 100 people to review matches to punish people.

Maybe you should stop playing this game if you can't control yourself. Mute and Report.

Too too roo!! tahm kench swallowed your metal oopa!! El PSY KONGROO.

I loved Steins;gate anime.

More importantly however, the report button does work but it might take a very long time for the player to get banned. But it's definitely triggering when people do that... However it's the way league of legends is.. you might just have a game with a troll that ints the entire game just because someone got first blood and he calls it a KS because he did 60% of dmg and other guy did 40%... It happened to me the other day, League is full of trolls not much we can do just surrender the game and keep your cool and report the toxic player and go onto the next game and win and have fun

If the game is shitty then of course you should stop playing - surely you have better things to do with your spare time?
