Does reporting work?

Vespy·Sep 12, 2018·3 votes·2,339 views

I've encountered so many toxic players on both the enemy and my team and I just know that nothing will happen to them. I just played a ranked game with the most positive player ive met. He played Ekko and wanted to keep trying for a win. So our Jhin decides to run it down for the next 10 or so minutes. He actually refused to do anything because he was feeding and we were getting stomped but we wanted to keep trying. Jhin just ints the rest of the game. I ask for the enemy team to report him and the enemy Evelynn doesnt want to because "you all were getting stomped" and "unlucky". Really? I cant even get the enemy team to report a inter because they are being actual asshole because they won. I swear reports dont do anything anymore

No actually, it does not work. or it doesn't work how it should at all, the people that deserve the punishments the most are never the ones that get punished, unless both teams decide to report which also never happens, because why would the enemy team report somebody for inting when they get a free win from it? (thats how most of the league playerbase is)

There's no reason for them to report. It only takes one report to trigger the system; any further reports are irrelevant and discarded. Therefore there's no need to ask the enemy team to report, ever.

thats actually not true at all, i've reported people in games for being racist and/or also insulting my mother etc, and only when my entire team decides to report the said person do i ever get the notification that somebody was punished, never from a solo report

That pop-up is notoriously unreliable as it only shows up for the person whose report triggered a punishment for the reportee. Not getting it doesn't mean they went unpunished but that it wasn't your report alone that triggered a punishment. Also, from Riot Tantram (aka the guy who wrote the entire system):

4+ reports is the same as 1.

A report, or 9 reports, flag a game for review.

if (reports > 0) { reviewGame(); }

Tell that to the guy who actually wrote the system and literally posted the code showing how it works. But no, I'm sure you'd know better than he would.

After seeing a guy telling me to kill my mother repeatedly not getting anything, I have concerns myself.

RanmiakuSep 12, 20182 votes

with the toxic immature player base of league, if you ask for somebody to get reported for trolling/inting/being toxic, theres a bigger chance you'll get punished over them just for responding, league players are the worst of any game community i've ever seen in my life, and riot games by far the worst game company

I don't know about worse game company. I have seen some kill great game series after buying out a smaller company. And a few botched game launches. Some that took years to actually repair.

I've actually gotten instant feedback about reports I've put in. Mostly, it's only if they were using "hate speech". Those seem to get looked at every time. However, I've had people say some of the most horrendous shit in-game and when I report them, I get nothing. I've started telling people in-game that if they continue with that kind of talk, I will report them. Sometimes it stops them. Other times, it enrages them and they get even worse. I report them. They've been warned.

Rarely, if ever, has an enemy team reported someone when we've asked them to. If my team is asked to report somebody on the other team, I ask why. If it's a good and valid reason, I'll do it. Inting would definitely be one of the reasons I'd report for the other team. I've seen people say flat out in all chat that they're going to int and proceed to do it. I report them. It ruins the game.

And before anybody brings up the chat mute function, most of the time I play, I'm playing with my teenage daughter. When she's being sexually harassed, which has happened, or being told that somebody hopes her mother gets raped and murdered, I need to see that so I can report it.

Depends. If you report for flaming it works too much, if you report for hard inting it kinda works (should be the case with running down mid), if you report for soft inting/trolling that's totally useless and nothing happens.

Pretty much this, soft inters/afk pushers will never get punished because Riot considers them "having a bad game"....

If you have a teammate that's purposely staying in one lane and dying once every 5 minutes, you can pretty much guarantee they won't be punished.

Sorry mate. I feel for you.

You litteraly posted the same thing twice

Yes it does. But a common mistake that many player make is just checking boxes at the end of the game and then hitting the submit button. You have to give the person reviewing the file something to go on. Fill in the comment section - let them know what the offence is. Multiple reports on one player get flagged and looked at.

That being said, there is a warning. If you are a person who does lots and lots of reports, then be prepared to have your report rating reduced. Each person has a report rating. And the people who cry wolf too often end up having their ratings reduced.

IFS handles most of the reports, so there is no "person" involved to read the comment section. IFS might do some attempt to analyze the report text, but I would not have too high hopes for that. Even so, I still often write something there, especially if the case is somewhat unclear - maybe the report gets to be one of the rare cases which an actual person takes a glance before he moves to the next one ten seconds later. (No, I don't have much faith in report system, but it seems that some part of it gets some bad people punished, so I keep reporting).

Also, this claim that report rating would be reduced is wrong. Riot has told here (for example) that report weight (the system you describe) doesn't exist.
