"unsportsmanlike conduct"

scazzman·Aug 23, 2016·1 votes·765 views

this report category should be separated into multiple report categories. in my opinion, it's simply too vague to catch anyone doing a specific thing. instead. split it into more specific options

uncooperative/selfish player disregarding the team, refusing to play seriously,stat padding
taunting/provoking passive aggressiveness, mocking, baiting toxicity
throwing "would replace intentional feeding" deliberatly trying to lose or deliberatly hindering the progress of allies
asking for reports
surrender abuse would include both spamming votes as well as holding the team hostage,as well as premade 4s surrendering right when thier team is about to win in addition. people would lose anonymity with surrender votes and a champ icon would pop up above each dot. if you know who started the vote. you should also know who votes yes or no.

That is what the description box is for.

and if it's reviewed by an automated system. the description box is meaningless. it's pure placebo

If it is reviewed by an automated system then the specific option doesn't accomplish anything. All an extended list of specific options is going to do is make people think that anything not on that list is allowed.

Lets take taunting and provoking as an example. Either the system looks for those things or it doesn't. Differentiating it from verbal abuse or unsportsmanlike in the options doesn't actually change anything.

Cases still get reviewed by people, it just isn't every case.

Why? The system looks for everything there it can already, the description is just to give you a general idea of which to use. You seem to be under the impression that if the report description doesn't state "Use it for X action" then the system won't catch X action specifically. The descriptions are very broad, and everything you are looking for in individual categories are already negative behavior that should be reported under existing categories...

Except "surrender abuse". That isn't a thing. Players are given 3 or 5 minutes (don't recall atm) between being able to start another vote. This is a right of all players to start as they see fit. If you don't want to forfeit then just decline the vote or move the window off your screen, you aren't being abused.

What it appears you really need is just a more detailed description of what players should use each report option for. That is a perfectly valid request.

a 4 man premade forcing a surrender just to troll isnt abuse?

scazzmanAug 23, 20161 votes

also. it's unfair to the person initating the vote that everyone knows it's them. but you don't know who is voting what. either everyone should be anonymous or no one should

Spam voting is not. Premade troll surrendering yes, it is and it's already punishable, but you don't need a new category for it.

so what is your response to my other point? about surrender anonymity

Deep Terror NamiAug 23, 20161 votes

It seems like a reasonable request.

If all the votes were identified it would likely only serve to increase toxicity due to people targeting those that didn't vote the same, so if I had to choose I'd say none should be identified (though I don't particularly care from a personal standpoint).

scazzmanAug 23, 20161 votes

the reason why im in favor of everyone being identified. is because many players will often "punish" a particular player, by trolling the game into an unwinnable state. and then stalling the vote with a duo partner

in which case you can report them for trolling?

All your suggestion would do is increase toxicity in non-trolled games where 2 people believe its possible to win, and refuse to surrender, and then are yelled at and trolled untill they just say fuck it and surrender.
