This is my favorite game. It is equal parts saddening and infuriating when people who are clearly there to troll, and admit as much in chat, are allowed to ruin other people's games with no consequence.

Do you know how upsetting that is, when you have a game that you're ahead, and likely to win, gets thrown away by one player who decides that they want to screw it up for everyone? Has that ever happened to those with red names? The tilt is indescribable.

I've lost all faith in the report system. It's trivially gamed, appears to do nothing unless you use certain words (in my time playing, many a feeder or abusive chatter reported, never received one single popup), and the games are still a pool of toxic waste.

So thanks, Riot. Thanks for ruining my favorite thing by inaction. Thanks for ignoring the loudly, constantly repeated input that just maybe, people would like to see if those reports actually do anything.

People actually think they are trivally gaming the system, and then they suddenly get hit with a ban and go "WTFFFFF".

Then again, I don't blame you for feeling this way, the system sucks at letting you know that it has punished someone.

How do you know if he got away without any consequences? IFS only pops up if you're the last person to send the report in. Other people may have reported him, and someone else might have gotten the pop up. And even then, sometimes the pop doesn't come.

Toxic players get what they deserve sooner or later.
