Not on the boards for sure.

There's one way to find out. Make a support ticket with the information (the way you should post this information), and let support take it from there.

are they really going to do anything or just cough up some shitty automated reply like always?

I mean they arent obligated to tell you if they punished said person or not, as it is not your business to know. Just whom ever is the one getting punished and the people at Riot!

That's the way Riot handles it, but it's not how it SHOULD be handled. If you go to court, you don't leave not knowing if the other person was convicted or if they're walking the streets unpunished for their crimes.

I've had spans of multiple weeks where one to four of my teammates trolled every game. Didn't matter time of day/night that I played. Didn't matter if I swapped roles with people to give them their preferred role. Didn't matter if I was nice or mean or if I went out of my way far beyond what's expected to help them out; they just inted until the game was literally unwinnable - off laning phase alone. Then they continued to int. In scenarios like that, when 90% of your matches for 2+ weeks are auto-losses off the back of one or more teammates deciding to guarantee your team will lose before laning phase even ends it would really be helpful to know if any of said players were punished as they deserve to be. Not being informed of any of that and running into more and more of it every day (2+ weeks of it in 90% of games) leaves you convinced that nothing is being done to address the issue of inting. Which can lead to toxicity against teammates due to built up frustration at all the inting, any harassment/toxicity said people do to you, and lack of consequences for said inting players.

Giving feedback and actually punishing players who are truly inting (kda doesn't guarantee a player is inting or not; good kda can still int, bad kda might not be inting) would do much to reduce toxicity in the game. Which sounds like a pretty good reason to me for confirming if someone was punished or not. Knowing that such poor teammates are being removed from the game or forced to re-think and reform their actions would reduce stress and frustration that many players feel build up and explode when they end up dealing with several games/days in a row of intentional feeders. Sounds worthwhile to me.

You really cant compare this to a court room. If anything it would be like going to a police station and asking who got arrested. Its none of your business to know. With a courtroom its you and that person. This is a game with 9 other random people whom you will possible never meet again. How exactly is you bombarding Riot Support asking if X-person is ban going to help stop toxicity?

Wrong because you already KNOW the person was questioned by the police - that happened when you reported them. What you want to know is... is that serial killer or whatever still lurking around destroying OTHER people's games too (because you're a good person and actually CARE that OTHERS don't have to put up with such bs too) or is he actually put in prison.

When you run into such criminals very frequently at times... like nearly every game for 2 weeks straight... you kinda want to know these people are being removed from the streets. Because it sure doesn't feel like it when that happens.

Maybe YOU don't care about others not having to deal with the same shitty person you had to put up with for (potentially; potentially more than) one game. But I do care. I care that NOBODY should have to put up with assholes whose only goal is to ruin the game for their own teammates.

Who's to say they won't do both?

Shitty automated reply, usually. You have to deal with not knowing if the troll ever met justice because Riot doesn't think that closure means anything.

I have never issued a support ticket that was not answered within a few days by an actual person.

If you "namedrop" him on the boards, Riot will ask you to remove the post and/or even punish you for making it. You have to use other channels which people posting here have already talked about. Sadly, there's more protection for intentional feeders than for people who lose matches because a teammate decided to ruin the game for their whole team.

So the short answer is - don't post it, use a support ticket like hethalean says.
