Why do people immediately jump to reports?

I just wanted to ask why everyone threatens to report you? The moment anything negative happens in the game someone will threaten to report you its ridiculous, i mostly play quick match and all you hear is report x for feeding when the guy is probably just 3 5, its used as an intimidation tool not something to boot toxicity

they threaten to report you because you're not doing exactly what they expect you to do. for the most part anyway.

on a side-note. report calling is report worthy and will hand out punishment to the one calling for the report. just simply ignore the "report X for Y" and file a report for verbal abuse against the report-caller after the game.

There's a lot of kids in the game. It's the same as going to tell the teacher the second someone does something mean. Or siblings going "I'm gonna tell mom"

Not everyone. I never threaten to reporr people. I used to mention to people that I might report them if they were real pricks in chat ( constant racism, spaming flames at their support. )

But I realize now that people in the frame of mind to be doing this are to far gone to be swayed by a light tap of the stick. Instead I defuse the situation. For most, this is easy to do. I generally ignore or mute if they don't smarten up. I report after the game.

Often, just praising a small play on the part of the one being flamed is enough to get these people to stop.

If they didn't have to worry about being banned, then the alternative would be players just flaming you non-stop.
