I have been told numerous times to kill myself, drink bleach, get cancer, etc. Why are these people never punished when I report them?
EDIT: I should probably mention that I used to report people for saying "gg easy." That may have undermined my report credibility. Still, I think I should have some voice when people tell me to kill myself.
Mister Punches5 votesYour reports probably hold little to no weight.
If you report too much, your reports end up being worth less, and less, and probably after a while, your reports mean nothing. Personally for me, I don't think reports do a thing at this point, unless the person that is being reported has the same attitude for the next 100+ games.
I know for sure that my reports are worthless at this point. I've reported many people who are openly toxic in the postgame chat, and because of that, my reports mean nothing now. Riot has pretty much trained me to continue to let the community be toxic, and make the community on par with that of the Call of Duty community, since I notice that none of the people who I report end up ever getting banned, even if they used the most vulgar insults, and made the game extremely negative.
Sorry for your terrible experience. I'm sure many others on this forum share your sentiment, since people on this forum talk about this on a near daily basis.
FrankerX2 votesserious question:
why do we have report value? lets say i make 1000 false reports and then i get a guy who is racist sexist toxic feeds etc. shouldnt my report still trigger the chat analysis to go over this guys chat?

Because those 1000 people you falsely reported have been harmed by your actions. Riot is removing your power to harm those 1000 people. Someone else will report the racist idiot.
iody2 voteswell if the system doesnt bann those falsely reported then they arent harmed. They could still atleast make a judgment on every report. and no few and far between do players actually report someone for being toxic most people just laugh and go along with it or just ignore it and do nothing.

I'm guessing you're assuming that because that is what YOU do. This doesn't mean this is what everyone does. I report toxic behavior whenever I see it. I don't report people who are joking and having fun unless it is at someone else's expense.
iody1 votesno i assume that because in most game everyone on either team refuses to report someone toxic when im the only one or one of few who actually will

How do you know whether or not people report?
And just to save time, because I know what your answer is going to be : "I ask them to report them and they say no"
You must keep in mind that asking people to report someone is harassment. The report function is not a stick to bully people with. If you see innapropriate behavior, YOU report it. Don't threaten to report, don't tell them you are reporting, don't ask others to report for you, just REPORT THEM. That is all you need to do, more reports in one game doesn't do anything. If you reported them, the game is flagged and will be examined.
Mister Punches1 votesIt's pretty much like Pinocchio at that point, or the boy who cried wolf. Pinocchio is more optimistic, while the boy who cried wolf is more pessimistic. I'd like to use the boy who cried wolf example, because at the end (the way I was told), everyone in the village ends up getting eaten by the wolf.
If you falsely report someone, it would be like lying, and after a while, if some toxic player comes around, the system or Riot won't believe you.
TheOperatorsBox1 votesI assume to prevent spam and abuse. It's not that hard to report everyone in the game and flood the system. That is why you shouldn't make false reports.
Nik Nikerson4 votesI have officially begun to think it was a terrible idea for Riot to start sending those messages that let you know someone has been punished. Now whenever people don't get one, they think nothing has happened. Funny thing is, it doesn't mean someone isn't getting punished. A couple weeks ago I was playing a game with my best friend, and we both ended up reporting the same player afterwards for raging. My friend received the whole "A player you have reported..." message, and I got nothing. I could have assumed that my report didn't do, or mean anything, but it obviously did; I just didn't get the notification.
TheOperatorsBox1 votesRiot has stated that multiple reports normally just get grouped, especially if the players are in the same queue, and are reviewed simultaneously, instead of separately, so as to prevent spam. Your report did go through, it may have not done anything to help punish.
SmokedAlmonds2 votesIt could be that your report weight is low, but realistically you will never know if your reports lead to anything the overwhelming majority of the time.
Nibbly Jimbles1 votesSo how would I go about getting my report weight back up? Is it as simple as just not reporting anyone for x amount of time?
SmokedAlmonds1 votesAccurately report people.
I haven't really seen anything more than "false reports reduce the value of your reports". I would think it is just considering the percentage of your reports are deemed false but I donno.
You wont know if the people you are reported are punished in most cases though. So it could just be that you aren't seeing it.
Lywoe2 votesthey don't do their job, that's why!
Horse Grenades1 votesYou're not reporting hard enuf
ƒæµ1 votesIf you're reporting people after every game your reports will start to have less impact.
OG BombSquad1 votesBrother i feel the same way, They dont get reported for anything they do and when you retaliate you get in trouble. Im a victim of Perma-ban.. account worth over $750+ and i lost it because i showed human emotion to people who seek pleasure in my pain and anger. For example: players in blind pick that will spam the lane they want in the chat and when they dont get it they either instalock and not say a word again until the match is over or even pick another lane such as jungle and "accidentally feed double buffs to your lane at level 4 with out any ping or word of warning that they are ganking leave alone diving a turret. They will not be negative in the chat so they will be negative and troll you physically in the game where the bot cant pick up the toxic behavior and lack of teamwork/sportsmanship.
They will only trust the Chat bots that record everything even though they have all the money needed to hire people to sit there and REWATCH an entire game to observe the cause of the toxic behavior by the one that was reported. I for one would not care if someone cursed me out or told me to kill myself because i have been suicidal before, and if something were to happen, its on RIOT when the police check my hospital files for confirmation.
Aside from that, talking a whole lot of S**t to me would not concern me much since i can just mute them BUT the fact they can affect my GAMEPLAY and the TEAMS OUTCOME is a problem and that needs to be fixed ASAP!
I have made another account and will continue playing, but like i said, if something were to happen to me... RIOT has to fix there system NOW, and im NOT the only one with this situation. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
71883083DEL11 votesBecause these players do not get reported consistently.
I have noticed punishments only get sent out if the user is reported game after game
Im Genie1 votesok just let you know what Riot doesn't care now. They think if we even leave their game they still have money from those shiiters. i played 2 game with same guy, someone pushed a hard tick in his asss and he fails every game he attends, so lucky he was in my 2 games in promote, yeh he got at least 4 reports for each game, i saved his name on gg.op, and the next game even the next day he still in game. That's why i said even tribunal they closed it and now we don't even know when they wanna work with these case or not. maybe when they got someone money first and will take a look it. This game is worse day by day, i think Overwatch is new game will help, even if your teammate suck but you are good, you win. that's how they called is Fairplay.
fxRJj5mlai1 votescuz they are focusing earn money, why do they ban someone who will give them money?
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesI've found that it really just depends on how often they do it. If you are truly toxic (telling people to kill themselves, get cancer, etc.), you won't be banned if you don't do it often.
