Players are more likely to get reported for being bad than for actual offenses.

I suggest removing the report button, since it seems to be used mostly by aggressive and unsportmanlike players that can't handle loosing.

Screaming "kill yourself feeder, ill report you" at teammates seems to be pretty common behavior. Same goes for trying to make the whole team surrender just because u personally consider any loosing game "wasted time" and threatening everybody else with a "report". People that can only have fun when constantly, flawlessly winning and otherwise start massive insults should just play alone. Yet they seem to be enjoying the report button most.

The idea alone that u could report somebody for being new, or simply for not being good is downright (let's face it, i'm sorry) stupid. Yet it seems to be the main reason players call for "reports".

Obviously you can't expect random people you don't even know to match your personal standards. Real, massive harassment like: "Kill yourself feeder" on the other hand seems to be fine with a lot of players. If u think now: "That's just trashtalking, it's all fine" ---> Even if u are 14 years all, you should know: There are limits. Something like "kill yourself" is actually a legally relevant offense.

Real offenses likely to be lost in the masses of "when-i-loose-i-want-to-hurt-somebody"-reports.

Then they use it, their false report gets ignored and their report weight decreases more and more, and you report them for toxicity and they get banned.

there are what like a 100 games or more every 15 minutes? who's should read through all the chat logs? check all the plays to know if they where justified? i don't think riot can really do that, it's just too much...

I think you're underestimating how many employees riot has. it doesn't take that long to read a chat log, and if someone constantly falsely reports players, I'm under the impression their reports mean a lot less.

There is a system that does this for them, quite accurately and within 5 minutes of the report(s) that trigger a review.

Hence why we have a system in place currently! There are probably keywords (mainly hate speech, and things like kill yourself) so the system can detect when those words are types as they are never a need to use those words as such.

ive said this before. even if people report validly theyre doing it for the wrong reasons. people arent reported for being toxic, they are reported for making someone lose

A few things, There is more than one department in riot to work on things for example there is their skin team balancing team and champion creations team. They able to work on more than one thing at a time and they have even stated they have gone from making around 8-12 champs a year to only 4-6. Riot also bans people when they are toxic you just won't see the notification unless it was your last report. So what I am trying to say is riot does focus on many things at a time and not just skins.

Out of curiosity, why were you so lazy that you copy/pasted this comment from another post. Originality much?

My own post? I didn't know I needed your permission to copy and paste my own writings to other pertinent posts on the boards.

FYI - I'm about as authentic and original as it gets :o
