How can you report scripters in URF?

Frontline Fury··1 votes·2,746 views

I have a replay of a lux that's blatantly scripting (all the 8 other players in the game agreed) but she is still playing despite recieving 9 reports.

Is there any point in submitting a recording or youtube link to Riot support? Or do they only punish toxic chat behaviour?

Scripters are often punished in waves, not instantly. Now, understandably that is incredibly frustrating to know they will get away with it for awhile. However, the alternative is to punish them as soon they know they are scripting, and the issue with that is it makes it VERY easy for scripters to figure out how Rito's system works and how to avoid it. If there is a delay, they don't know exactly what they did that allowed riot to catch them, so they are more likely to be caught again next time. It sucks, but the delay is a necessary evil.

Report them for scripting and inting. The system will automatically suspend them for 3-14 days based on how they were toxic before. Whilst they get banned for that amount of time, you'll no longer have to worry about them because they'll probs get banned in the ban wave sometime after they get unbanned.

She wasn't inting, though. In fact she was the only reason they won the game - she would land all her spells dead center on everything - even a ghosting rammus with righteous glory and dead man's plate. (800+ movement speed)

Number of reports don't matter, one report is all it takes to flag a game for review.

You say that but it doesn't do much as a 4 man report. I have tested this a lot of times. So why is it that when we 4 man report someone for being toxic or something, I get the "appropriate action has been taken" dialogue. But when I report by myself, I never get it?

Some people say it doesn't always show up but it always shows up when the whole team reports someone from your team. So I don't think this is accurate.

Riot's confirmed it multiple times. It's literally how the game is coded ("reports >= 1" or something like that).

Just an FYI, I have gotten many of those pop up notifications and I don't ask anyone to report people. Now, i don't know if others are reporting at the same time as I am but I dont' ask for reports and I have gotten those pop up notifications that people were punished.

Now also, remember that just because you don't get that pop up notification, doesn't mean they weren't punished because of your report. Only the triggering game gets those notices. So if you were game 1 and you reported them, someone else reported them in game 2, and someone else reported them in game 3 and then a punishment triggers, only game 3 gets those pop ups.

It might just be that you're running into toxic players earlier than others and that the IFS gives a lil leeway for people having bad games and then when it turns into a pattern of toxicity, that's when they hit the punishment threshold.

For every player I report, I add him into my list. This list checks everyday to see if they have been banned, if banned it notifies me. If not banned, it stays there till he's banned. There's a TON of people who aren't banned yet. Sucks so bad...

Number of reports in a single game doesn't matter, consistent reports over multiple games do. 1 Report has the same weight as 9 for a single game.

So the way Riot does bans for 3rd party programs is that they do them in waves. I know it sucks that third party program cheaters keep playing but don't worry, they will get their comeuppance.

This is to prevent the programmers from understanding how their program was detected. The more frequently a person gets banned using a program, the more chances the programmer has to figure out how their program was detected.

It's trial and error. This is their player behavior model for the ban wave method:

Programmer tries A in their script, it got detected and banned. They try B, it got detected and banned.... etc... they try D, not detected and not banned! Hooray the programmer has found an exploit! A few weeks go by and no one is getting banned!

I'm going to buy the third party software because it's not detectable and I'm going to cheat!

VS

Programmer tries A... not sure if it worked or not.... a few months in, everyone who used it got banned. Programmer tries B.... not sure if it worked or not... in a few months, everyone who used it got banned.

Ugh, it takes too long to figure out if people who use third party software will be safe... I'd rather not risk using the third party program.
