Can Riot please make people more aware of reporting

So a lot of the time in games people will threaten to report me or other members of my team for "feeding". Now a lot of the time I have done badly and died a lot but I have realised and changed my playstyle to adapt etc. and to help my team as much as possible but often people literally just don't listen to me trying to explain myself and just say report X for feeding in /all chat even when I'm not the only person. Often once someone on my team starts wanting to report me they immediately start saying everything I do is bad for example reporting me for not helping when I clearly would have died if I had helped. Now I know that you can get annoyed if someone on your team is constantly feeding but please can riot explain to players or make it more clear that "having a bad day" isn't the same as intentional feeding. There are some people who are just really bad but most of the time the person feeding is just getting unlucky or the enemy team are deliberately killing them more because they're squishy.

To be fair if people are threatening you with reports you can always report them. The people who look through reports know full well what people are reporting for, and much to people surprise feeding is usually something like having 0 kills, 20 death and no assist. They will see that as long as you arent coming back alive just to go back in lane and die, you arent feeding. While i dont know how they look at it, if they do have like a video file to help watch what you are doing, its clear when people are just doing poorly, or actually feeding.

People will always report people who do badly despite the fact that there is no report option for it. When they do that though the system will show that they arent using the report as intended and will count less than someone who know how to report someone! Honestly you shouldnt worry too much from this. If you arent feeding intentionally nothing will happen. They know when people have bad days and wont ban you because of that!

if you're worried about other players trying to damn you with reports that don't describe the situation you've just faced...you can send a ticket to Riot about a game you had trouble with and explain your side before a whole team of reports damn you without you getting a chance to explain WTF happened.

Let me share a term with you I just love...

it's called CYA (Cover your ass)
