lets be honest. if you manage to get 7 8 or even 8 reports... im pretty sure you were a fucking asshole. i totally agree with the fact that 1 report = 9 reports. premades should not have more power just because they are more. but all 10 players are strangers to each other and you manage to get 7-9 reports out of 9 people, MOST LIKELY DO YOU DESERVE A PUNISHEMENT or at least a human review.
As another person stated, this results in more "please report 9x (so and so) they did (such and such a thing they didn't do or exaggerated)" being spammed for 10+ minutes in a game just because players want to trigger something.
The beauty of the system right now is it is literally impossible to game reports to ensure a punishment is applied (or a manual review is conducted). One report triggers an automatic review, and there is no published method (and likely not any at all) for definitively triggering a manual review. This both means that nobody can game the system to ensure someone gets punished (by getting a lot of people to report) and also ensures that players have absolutely no reason to say "report x" in game (which is negative and tilting to the player x who is being targeted).
I think the other thing that needs reminding is that there's definitely a lot of players out there who are going to report for negative attitude or intentional feeding when, to be quite frank, they're just mad at the player for whatever reason. The player may have said nothing in chat (or very little, all positive) but they get 9 reports because their score was 0/14 at the end of the game. The automated system can easily filter those out - but if it were to trigger a manual review it would take human-hours which don't exist to ensure that they were invalid. A human will always take more time to review it than the computer will.
Encouraging in-game chat devolving into report campaigning, with everybody squawking about who they want reported and why all game instead of focusing on the game at hand? I'm very skeptical, to say the least.
I would be fine with this. The issue I see would be if Riot makes it public knowledge that this is one of the criteria behind triggering a manual review, people would attempt to get others to report in an effort to trigger a manual review.
So they would need to keep it secret to keep the false triggers fairly low. And to keep the report calling to a minimum.
That’s probably what triggers manual reviews. They are done, I’m sure, just not for every player.
Edit: oh I thought you were talking about reports across multiple games. I think a trend of getting reports is what causes manual reviews.
I would say 6.
I mean I would assume if you get reported across multiple games then you'd be subject for review.
