I was told to kys by another player just because I asked for some peel

And I reported him in after that game and yet I look up his IGN and this person is still playing. Good thing I have no intention to actually off myself but Riot, seriously, If I had this kid could have made me want to do that while he is still enjoying your game, seemingly not punished at all, just because you seem to only report people if they hit a certain threshold of reports per games played.

It takes a while for reports to add up sometimes. You did the right thing.

they only punish people that show constant negative behaviour and that is fine.

when they would start punishing players for 1 bad word they would literally lose like 25% of their community.

The purpose of the report system is to use large data sets to identify toxic behavior and those who perpetrate it. The purpose of the report system is not to provide you personal vindication that anyone who you feel has crossed you is instantly reprimanded.

Assuming that the new system works like the old tribunal, it would take three different reported games to prompt a review to be checked and enforced upon. Granted, I don't know this for sure as they might have made changes when the automated the damn thing.

That being said, it also might be a case of having not gotten to the report yet either. It takes time to go through the report system. Especially when it gets so bloated by every salty player who can click a couple of buttons.

Point is, be patient. Also, quit stalking someone who wronged you. You'll be a lot happier if you learn to let crap like that go.

You think someone that tells you to kill yourself is enjoying the game? If that is their happy face, don't make them mad.

One report sometimes isn't enough eventually if he keeps getting reported your report with just help him with getting him a larger ban time

That's absolutely ridiculous, crap like that should always be a no tolerance thing that should cause immediate punishments.

It very well may have caused an immediate punishment. He may have been given a chat restriction, if he has not had a history of negative behavior. You would only see the pop-up if yours is the last report that triggers a punishment; i.e. if someone else in that same match saw the kys and reported him for it, but their report went through even a half-second after yours, it would have given them the pop-up instead of you.

And just to clarify a few things... while the report system does function based upon a percentage of negativity, the severity of the infractions is taken into account. Certain things, like hate speech or death threats, do have a zero-tolerance policy and can often result in an escalation of punishment up to a 14 day or even permanent suspension for a first offense. However, that does not mean that a player who has an extremely low report percentage will always immediately be given a permaban if they happen to type %%% one time in one match. It has been done, I've seen many cases where players have come through the boards with no prior punishments, but been given a permanent suspension for one match that uses hate speech, but that does not mean that every single case will happen that way.

Just as the system is set up to punish certain things strictly, it is also set up to punish them fairly. And that is where the "report threshold" comes into play. It's not that a player has to have a certain number of reports, so to speak, because even if a player has played thousands of games since season one, that will not necessarily offset a streak of thirty toxic games in season seven. It is true that newer accounts can end up punished more frequently because they have fewer positive behavior matches than older accounts, but just having more games won't give the older accounts a free-pass to be more toxic. What is taken into account is whether the accounts have demonstrated a pattern of consistent toxicity. When setting up the IFS, Riot set out to not punish players for having occasional slip-ups or moments of mild toxicity. It's a competitive game, and people get worked up. Riot understands this, and doesn't want to punish players too harshly, or become so strict that it removes any element of banter, or teasing interaction between players. So, if an account is reported once out of a hundred matches, and the IFS only finds one comment in the logs that is toxic, and it's not something that is considered to be extremely toxic, Riot is not going to consider it fair to immediately punish that player. No one would. So the report is applied to the player's account, and if the player continues to be negative, they will be punished. But if they return to their good behavior, then they will not be punished unless they start having more toxic matches.

Yes I do, because that has happened throughout history whenever the justice system of a country fair, just, and quick not allowing the perpetrator to continue in wrongdoing.

If single time punishments were to start right now all the toxic players who get consistently punished would play the game less or not at all because they keep getting restrictions.

The part of the community that is much less toxic or only toxic if prodded will know that they don't have to say anything in chat to feel "justified" saying something back and instead just report at the end of the game because they would know that the perp would be pubished immediately.

This would eventually lead to a much less toxic community that would want to follow the rules while any new toxic player would get weeded out very quickly and either reform or leave the game.
