Reporting System Stinks

Riot needs to bring back the tribunal. This reporting system stinks. Once I asked a guy on my team to stop cursing he said he was in a 4 man premade and all of his friends were going to report me.

Yup got chat restricted.

Ive been reported for taking a summoner the others didnt agree with. Ive been reported for ganking a lane and disrupting a guys ability to farm.

There is no downside to reporting people. And you get reported for everything. Theres no oversight to read chat logs like you used to could do in a tribunal and have a vote taken on guilt or innocence.

People will report you for how you build, what summoner you take, not ganking their lane, ganking their lane when they want to farm. Basically, I imagine people report everyone for just about anything.

And this automated system just assumes you are guilty and smacks you down.

It really makes the game unfun.

And for the life of me, I do not know if these reports ever fall off your record or if I will get perma banned for asking people not to curse.

I think the reporting system encourages more bad behaviour than it stops. And it encourages people to report others more often.

Some people "deserve" to be reported. But when you say try and be more careful and you get 3 reports for negative attitude its just crazy.

You say please dont turret dive ... and blammo ... reports.

The tribunal wasnt perfect but it was a lot more fair when people could read the logs and vote. Now people just report anybody for anything and they know the automated system will mash em.

The downside to reporting people for no reason is that the person doing the reporting's reports lose almost the entirety of their potency in the system.

And you get reported for everything

According to Dr. Professor Lyte, I've been reported in fewer than 5% of my games, with the vast majority of them being false or otherwise tossed out. This isn't meant to say I'm a special snowflake or anything, the point I'm getting at is that it's simply not the case that everyone is reported for everything.

And this automated system just assumes you are guilty and smacks you down.

This is false, the behavioral systems in place throw away reports that don't have any merit.


Could you show us the reform card you got when chat restricted, out of curiosity? It'll likely be in an email somewhere, possibly in spam/junk.

I did not get a reform card but I did get a chat restriction.

And to my knowledge there isnt an appeals process if you do get reform cards.

It seems automated.

Maybe if I got a harsher punishment like a 3 day ban I would have.

Who knows ....

The whole system seems absurd.

Maybe one of the cursing teammates had no pull because he reported everyone for everything but the other 3 did have pull.

Its a mob mentality but then again they named their company riot.

Ive never cursed at anyone or thrown a personal insult. I do say things like please do not tower dive. Please play careful. Please play safe. Please play smarter.

It doesnt matter. Reports galore.

Ive had people say report him for not having a skin ... and then doing it ... en masse.

I think that somehow reports add up even if you are pretty much innocent.

I guarantee you that I wont spend much money buying skins, wards, and icons and other stuff to reward a company that bans me without good reason.

It probably costs riot more than it does me to falsly punish me. If they threaten to ban my account. I see no reason to invest money into it.

Why spend money on something that is going to be taken away for no good reason other than appealing to the base nature of children that think they are challenger level when I know they are Bronze 5 and they want to curse swear tower dive feed and then blame everyone else but themselves for not winning.

Well, no, I want to see your reform card. Because you don't get a chat restrictions on false reports. You just DON'T. The system checks, the system looks and says 'are these false reports'. You did not get a chat restriction from false reports, every single thread on here is a repeat of this. False reports don't count against you.

So there, instead, is a 99% chance that you are inflammatory and don't recognize it. Submit a ticket and get your reform card.

I guess.. reported is not the same as punished?? You can be reported for anything, nothing, eveything.. But if it's a bogus report then nothing will be done... and the reporters reports will begin to have less weight.
