Can we please have a actual report system?

The report system that we have now is to flawed and easily abused. There are players who are cheating or using the report system to their advantage by getting other respectable players banned while those that disrespect the game and the community are still running amok within our gaming community unhindered.

So can we please get a actual report system that isn't run by a automated computer program that only take action only when a certain amount of reported problems is related to one individual players.

Tired of being verbally abused or discriminated against just cause I wanted to try and master a champion within normal matches.

In what way do you believe people are getting respectable players banned?

hmm .. lesser of it being flawed, more about you not fully understanding how the system works.

tell us how you think the system works, and we'll tell you how the system really works.

You don't really understand how the system works do you?

I can understand wanting a bit more "instant gratification" when it comes to reports; i.e. if you have someone being abusive in your matches, you want to see them made to stop. That's reasonable. Nobody wants to deal with harassment from other players. But in reality, the Instant Feedback System is actually much faster at reviewing matches and issuing punishments to players than the previous system.

It may seem slower to punish, if you are thinking that the IFS waits until it has X number of reports prior to issuing a punishment. But, keep in mind that the IFS tracks reports from every single match, and is capable of reviewing the logs within minutes of the game being finished. Under the old system, the Tribunal might have voted for a player to be punished based on one game's logs, but the Tribunal was often backlogged for months. A player could play hundreds of games in that time, and if they were consistently toxic, the IFS would have caught and punished them long before the Tribunal would have. That is why Riot implemented the IFS in the first place.

Another thing to keep in mind, the IFS has zero bias to it. There is no chance of it reading the full logs of the match, and thinking "weeeeeell, he was provoked, so I'll let it slide and not punish him this time." The IFS treats all players fairly and exactly the same; held to the exact same standards. If you've ever heard the saying "Justice is blind," that could very easily describe the IFS. It's completely impartial, to be as uniform as possible.

I feel like you're just asking for the people YOU report to be banned immediately. Anybody can put whatever they want on the report and if you're complaining about their behavior just mute them, no questions asked. Block them in the game over lobby and you'll never have to deal with them again. I've never even seen a person i've put a report in for in another game. Because I always block them.

While it is true that you cannot be punished for saying nothing, it is still possible to be punished for behaving poorly via gameplay (trolling, intentional feeding, leaving/afking (this includes running around in base), etc.). Just don't do or say anything that you know will just tick other people off and you should be fine.
