Banning Stream Ghosts

I've been watching many streams of players recently and I see that more than a handful of them get ghosted from time to time. Some resort to covering the minimap which helps but others don't really want to take away our viewing experince just because someone in game decides to ghost them. So then it made me wonder what if there was a type of reporting you could do after the game was over for ghosters since it is basically cheating. So I am here wondering if any of you thought the same. Idk, just wanted to get the thought out there

well the issue isnt they arent cheating... if someone decides to stream the game and dont put a delay on it that is on them. and there would be a hard time providing evidence and proving it since the person who is "ghosting" is doing it via a non riot website such as twitch or what have you and riot cant monitor what you do outside the game. how hard is it to run a 5 min delay ?

The steamer is intentionally bypassing Riot's protection against Ghosting (the 3 minute delay on spectators), and ignoring the recommendations of Twitch or their streaming software to include a delay to prevent issues like this. They know the trade off of real time streams, they're accepting that people might ghost them in order to provide a better stream.

Yes, it's cheating and people shouldn't do it, but it's outside of Riot's control.

You already opened this threads before and u were given answer. You cant prove that someone is ghosting you and its your choice to show everyone game.
