does report weight have a purpose under the current system
i know this is a controversial topic. but hear me out report weight is a hidden rating based on how accurately a player reports but under the automated system. is it even necessary.
ARGUMENTS FOR REPORT WEIGHT
-
it lets people know that false reports won't do anything
-
when player behavior warnings existed it stopped people from being spammed with popups due to false reports
*it stopped cases from going to the tribunal based on false reports
ARGUMENTS AGAINST REPORT WEIGHT
*it allows people to "play off valid reports by queueing with premades or spam surrendering
*punishments are handed out by an automated system that can supposedly tell the difference between a false report and a valid one
-
false reports are thrown out anyway
-
player behavior warnings and the tribunal both no longer exist
-
it gives people a reason to ask for reports to get a person reported by someone with a higher weight
-
riot doesnt say what makes a report 'false" leading to theories ranging from it being based on whether the person was punished. to it simply decaying based on your average reports per game. this creates further confusion
