Adding Someone that You Reported

Aeszarck··1 votes·572 views

just to play more games with the player and report him or her in each one (that he or she did something reportable in).

Is this action moral? Do reports count against friends? Is this something that I should do in order to take a more proactive stance against toxic players?

To the people who have downvoted: Can I hear your arguments as to why a person should not do this? It'll probably get the toxic person punished more quickly and it will also make sure that one less random person gets matched with that toxic person and has to deal with him or her. Is it being toxic to say "Hey, let's play some more games together" to a toxic player?

Well, if I didn't act angrily towards them in-game and they don't know how much I dislike them, why should they not? While not all of them would add me, I could probably get a few to add me and play some games with me.

you have a disgusting mentality. I sure as hell would not want to be in the same game as you, luckily i am playing in EUW. Simply from what you have said you have a such a passive-aggressive behavior.

I think you're using the wrong word here. I would not be being passive by taking the initiative to add toxic players and play more games with them. I would also not be being aggressive with them; I would not act friendly toward the toxic players, but I would not act meanly towards them either. I would just play the game with them and report them at the end if they misbehaved. Do you not want to be in the same game as me because you're toxic and I would report you...? I try and be as nice as possible in my games. If you don't want nice people in your games, then fine. I'm a nice person and what I'm proposing could get even more mean people punished. I do, however, get why you think my mentality is "disgusting." What I proposed in the thread seems to be like taking the trust of toxic players in order to purposefully get them punished. If they're misbehaving though, would they not deserve that punishment? Furthermore, I would not lie to the toxic players. I would not say that I enjoyed playing with them, or that I really like them. I would just say that I would like to play more games with them. What makes what I propose doing more wrong than getting randomly matchmade with the same toxic person twice and reporting him or her both games?

I do not do what I proposed in the thread right now. That's why I created the thread; should I start doing it?

Doesn't really help I believe. It's sort of like the boy who cried wolf. If you repeatedly report the same person, it's starting to sound like a fake report, you get the jig.

Anyways, once you reported the person once his account is flagged, and more reports would make riot keep a closer eye on the account until punishment happends.

Ah, I didn't know that multiple reports against the same person carried less weight. Do you have any sources on that?

They don't. The only thing that reduces your report weight is making false reports. As long as you keep making accurate reports you will have good report weight, even if it's against the same person through multiple matches.

Okay, that's what I thought. False reports diminish one's credibility, while reports against the same person do not. Thank you Deep Terror Nami!

So this topic is just a question of morals then.

I never really said I'm an expert, but it kind of makes sense though, and there's not really a need to report several times (unless of course you ran into him again and the same shit happened)

I was just speaking what was on my mind, one report is enough though, but you do as you please :)

Thank you for providing your input!

The reason I'm asking about this is to see whether a person is doing the same negative actions across multiple games. If so, then I can make one less random League player not suffer through a game with this toxic player (because I'll be taking the spot of that random League player) and also guarantee that the player gets flagged in his or her subsequent games as well, since all it takes is my report to flag a game. If the player just had a bad game and acts nicely in the next game, then I won't report. Maybe I can even get the player to reform.

It completely doesn't matter. One report is all it takes. It flags the game and done. If you're toxic in multiple games and they play with you just to do that... well there's nothing wrong with that but it's probably a waste of their time.

I know it only takes one report for a game to be considered. I haven't implied otherwise.

This method would guarantee that the person gets that one report in each game that he or she plays in which he or she does something reportable, potentially flagging games that would have slipped past the system otherwise.
