an idea for helping toxic players be better mid-game.

Please add an option in game that allows players to report another player WHILE the game is going.

If enough players report a player WHILE the game is in progress, the client will give a warning to the reported player that says something like, "Greetings, summoner! We understand you may be having a bad day, but ruining other player's experience will not be tolerated. Please correct your behavior and enjoy the game! Failure to do so could result in punishment."

Ok so here's where it gets interesting. After about 3-5 minutes there will be a teamwide pop-up vote box where the surrender box is which reads, "has X player improved their behavior?"

If the team votes yes, you can give some positive reinforcement to the reported player. Even a verbal thing helps like a chat message that says good job or something. If not, nothing happens here until the game is over, at which point the reports will already be made and sent out and the player can instantly be sent for review for punishment.

What does this do, you might ask? This gives a gentle and fair warning to players who are not naturally toxic but may be slipping. It allows them to reform and improve the game for everyone, right then and there, and as a reward if they immediately improve then they don't get in trouble.

Again this is more for those people who are tilted, or not naturally very toxic, but having a bad day or game or some event seriously affected them. It could immediately improve the experience for everyone.

Perhaps it's a bad idea but I thought it might be helpful! I've seen plenty of people who are playing decent, something happens that tilts them, and then they start trolling. This would be for those people and could perhaps bring someone right on the fence back into normal space.

Cheers.
