PSA: Players "asking for reports" is still a thing

Chønklord·5/8/2017, 5:43:23 PM·5 votes·1,157 views

Every single game I've played the last 5 days, I've had someone (either on my team or enemy team) ask for reports in /all chat on someone else -- mostly for "feeding". or "trolling" (no one was actually doing any of those things).

  1. Players are not aware the IFS only needs one report to flag someone.

  2. Players are not aware asking for reports can be considered harassment.

  3. Even after I inform them of how the system works, they still don't believe me. I have to tell them to refer to Riot Tantram's posts on the forums here.

  4. Riot, please make your player base more aware of the rules and how your punishment system works, I'm tired of reading chat every game to see people "report so and so for x!" like it's free candy passing it around.

#I've even had someone argue with me about the system saying "no you need 6 reports to ban someone".... like wtf? Where do they come up with this crap? It's a clown fiesta up in Ranked, everyone.

(P.S. this is silver elo).

Riot desperately needs to communicate this better. Not only does it distract in-game, but it makes trolls baiting honest players that much easier.

Had a guy get auto fill support. He asked "can someone trade me? I don't play support and there is NO way I'm going to" he proceeds to pick azir and heads bot Lane with our adc. He starts stealing all the cs he can. Then someone on my team asked in all chat for reports because this guy was legitimately being toxic by doing this. The azir then says "I asked for someone to trade me and no one did. This is all your faults, this is happening because you guys didn't give me what I wanted. This is a consequence of YOUR actions." Word for word this is what this guy says, then he busts out with "asking for reports is reportable, I won't get punished for anything but you all could. In a situation like this I'd say asking for reports is more than ok.

I hate that asking for reports is against the rules. I can understand it, I can definitely understand it.

But if someone on my team is being outright toxic for no reason, that person should get reported.

Good for you for saying something about it in game.
