Regarding Reporting Players- A Humble Request

I would really like to see Riot implement a system where I cannot be on a team with (or ideally in a game with) someone who I just reported in my last game. I don't want this to be a permanent thing (and there are reasons why it shouldn't be a permanent thing) but at least for the next hour or so it would be nice to not get into a second game with someone who made the last game unplayable.

If it means I have to sit in queue for 5 minutes longer, that far outweighs playing another game with this person. Nor do I really think it is fair to have to lose LP because matchmaking put me on a team with this guy for a second time after his behavior was offensive/rude or he intentionally fed, afk'd for half the game, etc.

By limiting it to an hour or so, you are only ensuring that you don't see that player for the next game or so, at which point it would be very unlikely that you would run into them again.

So, for the sake of players sanity all over the world, implement a system where reporting a player bans them from being on your team for the next hour of queue up times.

EDIT: Just thought I would include a thought i neglected to mention originally: I know I can wait a few minutes to reduce the chances that I end up in a game with said individual again, but that feels like I am being punished. And in an already negative situation, this solution is not a very elegant solution.

Not a bad idea at all...

If Riot does this, and the community knows about it, there will be a huge influx of reports. People will start to report each other just so that they don't have to queue up with a particular summoner the next game. And then reporting just becomes the "I don't want to play with you again" button, losing all meaning.

If you don't want to queue with the toxic person from your previous game, be patient and wait a minute or two before queueing up, the likelihood of joining them again will be much lower.

When reporting and punishing is based on an automated system, there is no warning of false reports because the computer doesn't know the difference. It just receives the report and does as programmed. There is no easy solution to this, and I agree it is frustrating but as long as there is NO FEAR of being reported for trolling and behaving however players want because it's an automated system, It won't improve. I feel bad for you, but only thing you can do is wait 5-10 min before you queue again and hope to avoid them. Again those playing game as intended are punished because of those who want to troll, sucks, but way it is.

10/10 post.

Nothing even gets me close to as tilted as when I fill out a 300 character report for someone that shouldn't even have internet access and then riot drops the inbred back on my team again.
