How Many Reports Does It Take to Be Punished?

I'm just curious if the community has any knowledge of this. I played a game with a toxic Yi today who rage quit. I didn't rage back just politely said in \allchat "Please report Yi rage quitting thanks. GG."

Then he went off about how I'd rage quit too if etc. etc. etc. Then he started saying "Report me IDC. All of you report me. I'll send skins if you show proof. Report me because NOTHING will happen. Lol your an idiot if you think ANYTHING will happen. Report me all of you and NOTHING happens."

I reported him, I have no idea if anyone else did. I'm just curious. If everyone on both teams reported him, will he get a temporary ban? Does it need to be reports from several games? If you rage out say every 5th game but are nice in the other 4 will the reports build up against you or do they get sort of "cleared out?"

I know if enough reports come in eventually a player will get banned, but a lot of people in the games I play seem to have this Yi's attitude that reports don't matter and they can rage as long as they only do it every few games and don't say anything racist. (Racism seems to get banned faster than say rage quitting from what I've seen of forum posts).

the amount of people In one game that report him has absolutely NO effect on whether or not they get punished. the amount of (valid) reports he accumulates over separate games does. the amount it takes varies on what they are being punished for.

raging in chat is generally banned faster then RQ'ing because flaming is pretty obvious upon review. afk at fountain or inting require a history of it happening.

Interesting. So it doesn't matter whether 5 people or 1 person reports a player in a game? It only matters if you get report at all for the game. That's surprising to me.

Also, I suppose then, if the number of reports is irrelevant then there is no point in requesting other players report the person raging. That's actually kind of nice because often when you request the opposing team report a player for raging that just makes them more pissed off and the situation gets worse. I've always tried to avoid saying anything until the game is seconds from being over for that reason.

Number of reports doesn't matter within one game, and only across multiple games if they're valid. Reports do nothing if there was no bad behavior.
