Questions to Riot about how Griefing teamates are handled

GiftedGod·2/12/2018, 1:06:37 AM·2 votes·430 views

Just a simple question. If someone intentionally griefs and int's in your game; is just one report or incident enough for punishment? Do they need to Grief multiple game or is one enough to get punished?

I'm asking this because I had a game where 2 people Griefted in my game. One had past history of this behavior. The other seems to just inted randomly for no apparent reason. (No history)

The person who has history if this has not played since the day that they were reported. (So they may have got banned?)

The other person who had no history of this behavior has played since then. (So I'm assuming nothing happened?)

I'm hoping I can get some good data about this, and anything you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Griefing is complicated. It is very hard to prove griefing, and even when it's possible to prove behavior, griefing necessarily requires proof of intent. Someone abandoning lane is griefing, but were they intending to troll or was their ADC so far ahead that they went AP mid to make up for a midlaner who was severely lacking? It's extremely hard to prove intent, which is what's necessary for Riot to issue punishments to players for "griefing" or any other form of trolling, intentional feeding, etc.
