Toxic Pre-made Threaten to Report Me

WastedZombi··2 votes·395 views

I was playing solo queue with a three man group, jungle, mid, and ADC were a party. Mid lane was very toxic to our top lane Kog'Maw, so I told him if he did not stop being rude to Kog that I would report him. That is when I found out they were a three man group, who all said they would report me for toxicity and Riot would take it more seriously since there are three of them and one of me. After this, the three of them were toxic to me and Kog for the rest of the game. I reported two of them, the other wasn't so bad. I also wrote a description to Riot of the events that happened and requested they review the in game chat to see who was actually being toxic in this game. I am a little worried that Riot may not listen to me since it was a three man group. How seriously do they take this type of reports? Do they usually pull up the game and verify whether or not a player is being toxic? I just don't want any negative points against me. I have a level 5 honor badge, and always try to be a good teamplayer, even when it's very hard, lol.

According to Riot 'one report is as strong as nine'. This is to prevent premades from abusing IFS like you describe. I don't know how much I believe in that claim anymore, but that is what they say. If that is true, the threat by that premade was relatively empty. However, threatening people with reports can be considered negative behavior, so you might want to avoid that in the future.

That makes sense to me. I would consider that to be toxic in most situations as well. I generally mute toxic players after one offense. It can cause me to tilt if I see that type of chat. The only reason I warned this guy is because Kog and I wanted to forfeit but these three kept voting no, and I said "Please stop worrying about Kog and try to play the game or just surrender." To which he continued being rude. I should have just muted him and in the future I'll continue to do that with a silent ban. Thanks for the heads up

No. 1 report is the same as 9.

What I'm more curious about is if you meant Flex since you can't que as a 3 premade in solo/duo.

It was Normals, so I am probably being very petty about this anyway. I have just never encountered this type of situation. I usually mute toxic players before it gets out of hand, and do a silent report if I feel it is necessary. This game was just a little different and frustrating. I am going back to my mute, and silently reporting method for sure!
