Premade 4 bullies

I have been recently getting back to league after a hiatus and I remembered 4 people queuing together and bullying the 5th was a real thing that i had experienced before. I just got out of another game in the same scenario. I was verbally harassed and harassed by pings and the players pretending that i was toxic in all chat. The enemy team didnt buy the story because I had not even bothered to talk in all chat besides saying WP to my lane opponent. They had the nerve to all say GG report top lane (me) as we lost. What is stopping these players from doing this over and over? Pretending to be good/polite players in chat to seem innocent in a report and being in a discord and conspiring to falsely report the 5th person they find a kick out of messing with? I remember the community being toxic but that was textbook bullying.

Hmmmmmmm.....

I have a feeling you aren't understanding how the system works properly.

The system has the capability of filtering out false reports. It is also purposely programmed in a way that 9 reports = 1 report to pre-made abusing the scenarios as you mentioned.

So knowing that, I normally smile when others gang up on me, as I know that I didn't do anything wrong, and that the system will pick up on their lies and harassment.

So would I consider that pre-made bullying? I probably would consider that as pre-made grave digging instead.

If they are verbally flaming u in chat.. just mute them and then report them all at the end of the game.. reports do get reviewed.. some faster than others.. all depends on what they say to u.. when this happens to me i ask them to pls stop harassing me and just play the game.. if not then mute and report.. that way the chat log shows u asked them to stop.. replying back to them will only get yourself in trouble... so dont have a war of words.. and refrain from calling out in all chat for the other team to report them.. if the toxic players say it in all chat its on the other team to do what they feel is right.. otherwise u calling out for a report will also get u reported..

The system for reports is automated now. If someone reports you, the system will call up YOUR chat log (no one else's) and review everything you said. If your chat matches what the system knows as flaming, negative attitude, or hate speech, you will be punished. If someone reports you and you never said anything negative (or never said anything at all), the system won't be able to find anything to punish you for. And you're fine.

If you are getting flamed, mute everyone, say nothing, and play the game. Do not argue back. Do not defend yourself. Do not ask other people to report your abusers (whatever your reason for doing it, asking for reports falls under bullying - essentially you're threatening to get someone punished if they don't do what you want).

Personally, for more than 18 months now, I have started every game by using the mute all feature. There are pings to communicate anything game-related that you could possibly need to say to your team. And not listening to other players argue and flame each other makes the game much more enjoyable to play. You might want to try the same. Mute everyone, block the drama, and focus fully on your play. And if you're the type of person who has a hard time resisting the urge to defend yourself, you may want to go into the hotkeys and unbind the key that opens chat. Remove your ability to respond entirely. That way you're safe.
