Riot responding to reports

DayNx··4 votes·3,785 views

I feel if players got a message saying what happened to a player after they reported someone there would be less trolls or afks. riot send out messages all the time i dont think it would be hard and it would make players feel like reports matter knowing something happened rather then wondering if an afk got banned or not.

There is already a system in place for this. While you won't receive feedback for every report you make that contributes to a player's case, there is a very good chance you'll receive notification when a player is punished due to your report.

If you're not seeing the notifications, the reported players may have had just one bad game (which we try not to punish unless it's really bad) or they're working their way towards a future punishment. Make sure you're trying to be as accurate as possible with your reports, too.

I already looked into it. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Yes, indeed. Glad that's taken care of.

But I checked on lolking and I found that he had played against a Riot employee though, and why would he post it for no reason?

I disagree that there is a "very good chance"of feedback. My understanding is that you only receive any notice of your reports having effect if your report is the last straw. In other words, if someone gets 10 reports and is punished by the 10th report, reports 1-9 will have no idea anything has happened at all.

It's disappointing to me how little feedback there is. So someone's a jerk in my game, I press the button, write a little report, never hear of it again. Did the system decide I made a false report? Do I have different standards to the server and now my reports mean nothing for when something big happens?

Personally I think there should be some way of finding out generally how good we are at reporting (even if it's in vague and anonymous terms).

EDIT: Heres a brainstorm for you. Every 50 games, you get a little pop up to the effect of "in the last 50 games you've made X reports and we agreed with Y of them, they are now contributing to a potential future punishment. However we disagreed with Z of your reports and will not be acting on them, make sure to think carefully about the game and the players actions when you make reports"

To go even further, divide it between each category. eg you made 20 reports for intentional feeding and we agreed with 15, you made 10 reports for unsportsmanlike and we agreed with 9, and so on

I've literally never seen that message. :( Does that mean the system treats my reports as bogus (and it'd be nice to receive feedback from the system for this), or do I just happen to be paired with people on their bad days and they're normally the epitome of friendliness?

Could be neither. Could be a lot of your reports end up getting a player punished, but they haven't shown a consistent enough trend to warrant one at the exact time you reported them.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up! Is there any chance though of the system informing you if your report standing is low, and warn you when you're sending in reports it can't use? It's nice that there's (sometimes) feedback when you send in good reports, but it'd be nice if you also get warned you're being too petty.

It would be nice if we got notifications more, for situations where our report contributed significantly to the action instead of just the triggering case. (Was that a vague and difficult enough to program request heh)

I've yet to see one of these, even though I report at least a few people a week over very clear cut things (like using homophobic or sexist slurs, and hatespeech). Not sure what's up there

They do exist though! I have seen one before (just the one).

Thanks for clarifying. Even if that's true though, it should give EVERYONE who contributed reports (maybe within the last two weeks) a notice. I'd really like to have confirmation that this stuff is actually being dealt with
