I want my 16LP back! And please punish this guy!!

Yesterday, in a ranked game, I had the bad luck of playing with a Yasuo that decided to feed intentionally since the start of the game.

The rest of the team was doing great, we had a really strong ADC and we could have won. This guy simply decided to have fun and make us lose. He started by insulting people and chatting with the enemy team offering his help to get Baron and asking them to kill him. My team reported him, the other team probably not cause they had an easy game and were happy.

Now this is really unfair, I am playing to rank up and lost 16LP, 40 minutes of my life and the guy didn't get any penalty.

Why should people keep behaving right if there are people like that allowed to do anything and don't get punished?

Bear in mind, penalties don't come up immediately.

If this person has a documented history of being problematic, something will happen.

In the meantime, deeeeeeep breaths. I've been there, it sucks, but ultimately the more tilt-proof you are, the less harm these kinds of players will do on your climb, when you run into them again.

The mods will probably tell you this anyways if they find your post, but don't name and shame. The boards community has no way of knowing if you're being truthful and it's possible to frame someone and set an entire community loose on them in a witch hunt for something which they may or may not have even done.

As such, you should delete the summoner name from your post, as it is considered a form of bullying and could get you in trouble.

You can submit a support ticket to Riot support here: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us

They will investigate the player and take whatever action they deem appropriate. That said, you are not entitled to know whether or not they get punished, and Riot support won't tell you what Riot's decision is regarding that player.

Fixed sorry.

No worries, good luck with things and I hope you have a good rest of your day, er... evening? for EUW, right?

That wouldn't justify a witch hunt anyways. Mob justice isn't the way here. Put it in Riot's hands with a support ticket.

Retribution is not yours to take.

But you said there was no way to tell if he was being truthful or not, I just gave you proof he was being truthfull thats it.

If that's all that you saw in my original comment then you should probably read it again. You're focusing on a tiny bit of what I've said and provided a "counterargument" to it, presumably in an effort to discount it. I can't imagine what else you were trying to do.

Witch hunts aren't okay regardless of whether the person who gets "outed" is guilty or not. We are the players, not the judges jury or executioners. That's for Riot to do.

It's a shame Riot does such a piss-poor job of it. You tend to find that in most civilized societies, failures in policing wind up in calls for vigilante justice.

I'd love it if Riot would do a better job with it. There are certainly a lot of ways to go about it, and I wish that they could involve the community more without exposing weaknesses of the system. I feel like there are a lot of options and opportunities that could be discussed if they involved the community more.

The same things keep getting asked for over and over.

Better report feedback (rather than the wholly inconsistent, and frankly, infuriating way it is now)

I get it, they don't want to pop up an IFS thing every time you make a successful report. That would be annoying. But I also happen to know that modal dialogs aren't the only way to convey information.

Report cards (top posts #2 and #3 on this board)

How was my behavior, how were my reports? Only the IFS knows, and they aren't telling.

For all of the supposed psychology that Lyte brought to the table back in his days, he seemed to have absolutely no insight on how closure and catharsis works. When people see the guy that ruined your game go unpunished for weeks, it reduces faith in the system.

I personally have very little. People whining about misplays, outright being told to kill myself, game-long arguments, threats, holding champ select and game hostage, rage quits, on and on and on, and I've gotten a grand total of ONE IFS popup in my time here, and that was after I opened a ticket on a terrifically blatant intentional feeder who ADMITTED TO INTENTIONALLY FEEDING IN CHAT and had done it to at least one other person since then. He didn't miss a single day of playing.

Is this because I'm reporting things that aren't reportable, or because the system sucks? Fucked if I know. But if Riot wants to know why their game is perceived as having such a nasty player base, they need only look in a mirror. I could have told you that if tox goes unpunished (or appears to go unpunished, which is the more important bit), you will only have more tox.

I like the ideas of better feedback and report cards, both for reports that you submit and for your own behavior to see if you're being rightfully reported for things. And I agree that faith in the system is low. We'd see a lot less people troll if they thought they would be caught quickly for it.

I also want to see them do away with the one-lane punishment system. A person shouldn't be able to get permabanned for passive aggressiveness after receiving a 14-day ban for zero-tolerance language. There's no opportunity to learn or make up for it then. If they didn't know that passive aggressiveness was punishable then they just lose their account without any opportunity to reform from that, even if they never use another zero-tolerance phrase again.

the other team probably not cause they had an easy game and were happy.

And?

Chloe1525May 29, 20181 votes

And therefore Riot probably decided not to take action.

If your team reported the player (hell, even if only you reported them), that's enough. The system only checks if the amount of reports is greater than a value of zero. If there is at least one report, the IFS will review the match. More reports don't do anything.

1 report = 9 reports

who cares if the other team didn't report him? (is what I think xidphel meant in that one word lol)

XidphelMay 29, 20182 votes

Not how the system works. 1 report is enough to trigger a review. 9 is redundantly redundant.

Posting on the boards does nothing (unless you're just here to vent). If you reported him, then good. That's all you need / can do. Doesn't matter if the other team didn't report. The system doesn't care.
