I tried to help a toxic player today. Here is how it went.

A Nunu was raging at his team with "useless team" and "report x," so in post-game I explained that additional reports don't matter. He flat-out didn't believe me. I said it was confirmed by Rioters, and instead of saying "i'll google that (to prove you wrong)" or "link (that you must not have)," he proved his point by stating that his uncle works at Riot, and dropping a name. Right after I told him that asking for reports is considered harassment, he left the lobby.

It felt more futile than resisting the Borg with a phaser they've already adapted to.

I would recommend making little tips like "calling for reports is useless and bannable" a lot more visible. Perhaps the post-game stats page could have a section for inappropriate things a player was detected to have said? Maybe a pop-up notification like we get with Honor?

 

 

######I was going to say "more futile than resisting the Borg with a butter knife" but the Borg somehow can't adapt to physical attacks, so that wouldn't actually be as futile as I was going for.

They really do need a load in tip that says "1 report flags a player for a particular game. Extra reports do not matter and begging for them is considered toxic."

Except you're both wrong.. honestly I was going to write a whole thing about how I know from experience and it should be obvious by now with the amount of people that came foward claiming this. But I'll just say this, believe what you want. Riot reps are here to keep order and peace, they're not going to tell you their system is flawed and biased. They're happy they even have a system at all to deal with how toxic the community is. They're not going to tell you its flawed. And yes expect to see 5-10 downvotes on my comments by their mods and fake accounts. Its the Truth.

It's unfortunate, but literally ALL Nunu players are toxic. Next time just dodge when you see this champ picked.

One report is enough to trigger a review. That's true. (not proven, btw. Proof would require us to have access to knowledge we don't have)

It was proven though. It's proven right here and more specifically in that quote I used before. We do have official confirmation from Riot that one report is enough to trigger a review.
