What does reporting do?

I like the new reporting thing, but I want to know how much reporting actually does.

For example, in a game I just finished, I was Cho'Gath top against a Renekton. He dove me a couple times early, so I backed off and started just hanging under tower until our Vel'Koz could roam or our Rengar could gank. Eventually I was 1/4/0, and just kept defending top against Renekton. I decided to roam mid any time there was pressure and help get our Vel'Koz fed, and push out his lane. All was well, I was getting assists and our inner top tower was still up, and the outer enemy top tower was at about half health. Then I was pushed to my tower when Renekton backed off, joined the teamfight bottom with TP, a lot of people died, and our Leona started yelling at me in all caps about how I need to shove. I did, and Renekton would come back into lane so I'd back off. Later we got the mid inhibitor tower, and I tanked it to about 300 health, so I said we shouldn't do Baron because I was "too low". According to Leona, I was also too garbage and "too knows nothing about this game". At this point I had also taken the top outer tower, so it's not like I had applied no pressure. Later, I was building tank and had built abyssal for our Vel'Koz, because the whole enemy team had MR from Aegis. I said that my ult did 800+ true damage, so our Leona said "that's pretty low", but "I guess that's good for the average garbage Cho". We won (I was 4/4/6), and then after the game she had other great quotes, like "vel koz you fucking suck", "chogath youre garbage", and "kill yourself".

The reason I'm going into so much detail is because I'm super salty the kind of person who is this toxic after a game they won pretty squarely is the kind of person who I expect to be a repeat offender or at least deserves to be chat-restricted, what with the "kill yourself" and "everyone but me is garbage" mentality. In the past I've never noticed reports meaning anything at all, apart from the "your report has been sent to the Tribunal" thing.

Thanks!

First I'd like to ask you to remove the name of the summoner from your post so as to comply with the no name and shame policy of the boards.

To address your concerns regarding this incident, players like that are incredibly irritating to come across in game. The best way to handle them is to mute them in game then report after.

Reporting them will flag their account for their negative behavior. Enough legitimate reports can lead to a chat restriction or even a suspension.

You can read about the upgrades to the chat restriction system here:

I saw in another thread they ARE working on more feedback on when your reports result in punishment. But come on, they are going to get banned. Look at some of the 'I got banned' threads here in the board. They are banned for FAR FAR less, and 'kill yourself' is 'worth' far far more.

I can't speak to the specific weight of reports, but I can pretty much guarantee that comments like the ones you mentioned are severe and really quickly addressed.

Reports are definitely meaningful, I think it's mainly an issue of communicating that meaning to the people actually doing the reporting. As EvilDustMan mentioned the feedback system definitely leaves something to be desired, but it's being worked on to hopefully let us actually feel the impact of reports we submit a bit more.
