Pre-game Reporting

AlexDrey·Oct 30, 2018·3 votes·4,230 views

Is there any way to report an account that acts dishonorably in champ select? If there isn't there should be. I just queued up for a ranked match and got my declared champ banned by a team mate just so he could demand my role. I was going to let it be, begrudgingly, until I saw his op.gg with 38% win rate. I had to dodge, which is something I've maybe done twice over 5 seasons. This isn't the first time its happened, nor will it be the last. Am I am definitely not alone. Can we please have some sort of mechanism to defend against this sort of behavior? Love the game but it's people like that that make me want to stop playing. We shouldn't have to lose LP at champ select due to toxicity.

Also: his summoner: <removed by moderation>

Likely a smurf punishment may not even help, but there's gotta be a way to avoid this feelsbad moment.

If you care about climbing, you should realistically be dodging like once every several games.

If you aren't, and don't, then who care about having a troll on the team. You weren't playing to climb anyway

Well, pregame lobby is now part of the report anyways. So if you report someone after the game, the IFS also looks at Pre-Game chat. As you can see by all the people who post their chat logs.

So no, pre-game reporting makes no sense. However, pre-game remake does. If you have a troll in pre-game and 4 of 5 people want to remake, because of the troll, that should be possible. Only in blind pick /solo queue and only if there are no groups queued up I guess (otherwise people and Riot will claim: "whine whine abuse the system whine whine"

The problem is when someone intentionally trolls so hard you're forced to choose between dodging or playing a loss out, meanwhile the trolls don't give a shit, they'll play it out and be toxic the whole time. And if I want to report them for it, I have to actively choose to sit through half an hour of them being intentionally toxic and cancerous. Meanwhile I can't quit an early game, even at 15 minutes because riot deems that it needs to be unanimous... which no troll is ever going to let their toxicity hostage go. We need to be able to report someone who was in a queue with us, in case we have to dodge because of their inting in champ select and I have to dodge to avoid them.

No, would only result in endless false report for not obeying the meta slave.

I thought about that before posting. I do believe that a system can be developed that avoids that. It's just the nature of an ever evolving game.

Makes sense. Sorry

Banning your champion is allowed. Banning takes priority over hovering and picking.

You don't like it? Sorry, that's the rules/priority. Make your own game if you don't like it.

It's not really constructive to say tough luck. Riot has worked hard to make systems that influence player behavior to make less moments that make players feel bad. This is just another part of the strategy that I believe they should look at.

I agree that isn't constructive. But on the toxicity scale, it's extremely minor.

this is the dude that replied to me in a thread where he complained that I wasn't constructive with my posts. i am not missing the chance to call him out on his hypocrisy.

VoldymortOct 30, 20181 votes
