Broken Report System

Ez Does It·Nov 14, 2015·4 votes·856 views

Hi, so today I've been playing 3v3's all day. I've been reported 3x for random "Harassment: Offensive Language". I'm getting reported by trolls mostly. Last game for example. I said ggwp at victory screen, troll says reported. Next thing you know, report box appears and I'm on the verge of getting banned. Riot, you're going to end up losing customers if anything. Most of us have skins and we'll get banned because of random trolls and random reports? Please, fix the report system. One thing I had in mind is have a picture proof of blatant behavior. It's not hard to copy and paste a picture. This report system is getting out of hand because now people report for having blatant behaviors themselves.

Edit: I've looked through the board and see other people are complaining about random reports as well. We need a fix Riot, please.

Be aware that if you never did anything to justify a ban, you won't be banned. The warning popup is only there to notify you that you have been reported in a higher number of games than the average League of Legends player. Just keep playing the game, don't be toxic, and you'll be fine.

Yeah, just keep being perfect and you'll be fine. It's easy to be perfect, ask anybody.

No one is asking anyone to be perfect. You just have to be better than the lowest 1% of the community. No one is perfect, and every single player receives at least a few reports. But there is a difference in getting upset and toxic every once in a while, and being toxic all the time.

There is no difference to Riot though. There USED to be. But once the automated system hit there ceased to be any difference between "once in a while" and "all the time." Right now, at this very moment, if you say certain things in chat (not even talking about hate speech), and you get reported, you will get an IMMEDIATE 14-day ban. Literally, just call someone a dumbass a couple of times in game and if multiple people report you, you're done. Doesn't matter if your past 1,000 games were clean. All that matters is the one game in question. You can never be toxic anymore. You can never slip up.

This is incorrect.

This is incorrect.

Another person who gets off on being wrong. E-mail Riot Player Support. Talk to "Two To Tango".

This is a pretty common misconception, and I really wish Riot would be more clear about it, but the pop-up warnings do not mean that you're close to a ban (or any form of punishment for that matter).

They're simply an alert that you've been reported more than normal recently. In fact, for the purpose of the pop-up warning, the reports aren't even validated - though they are for actual punishments.

So, if you weren't actually being toxic, don't worry about it. If you were, consider it a heads-up that it's been pointed out to Riot.

this is a problem. one game I didn't say a single word and popped up an offensive language warning. sure they don't mean shit but enough of them popping up at once means that one game where you actually do something you'll get a chat restriction, or a ban..

I've been banned 6 times alone off trolls, like 3 times because I may have been influenced by the toxicity of my teammates. I'm ok if I deserve the ban, which admittedly I did a few times, but other than that the report system is complete garbage.
