Reporting too much?

zafey··1 votes·1,443 views

I was just wondering if there was such a thing as reporting too much. I don't condone toxic language in game or in real life, so I often report a teammate ( probably at least once a day. Yeah lots of toxic people. ) or someone on the opposing team if the person is using /all. It's worse in ranked mode.

I think if they don't find it verbally abuse it is dismissed. If X amount of reports result in no flags triggered, your reporting integrity goes down, I believe.

If someone's simply joking and no one is actually doing anything bad, please refrain from reporting people. I'm not telling you not to report people, but don't rat on every person that hurts your feelings. You'll get over it. Good luck! :p

You can never report too much. This is the biggest problem with the report system. There is no penalty for false reporting.

Actually there is. It causes you to lose report weight. Basically if you keep reporting falsely the system goes, "Eh, this guy again? Probably more junk."

There isn't like a ban or restriction or anything. Something like that could easily backfire and punish innocents.

But does the punishment system read that? That's the question.

the bigger concern are the people who will manipulate you and "keep you talking" in order to get you banned

Wouldn't shock me! There's just too much wrong with the "it's only what YOU say" system. Riot would be the judge that would find the person guilty who knocked out the robber stealing his shit.

there are a large group of players, especially in bronze and silver, who use manipulation tactics, as well as passive agressiveness and subtle trolling, to rile people up and bait them into flaming, for the purpose of getting them punished by the instant feedback system
