Does report button work?

SanD45·Nov 25, 2016·2 votes·730 views

I have reported many player, not for being a noob, but for flame. When someone kick me off top and then cry I am bad support, I report him for flaming me, calling me idi*t, uninstall lol and something like that. But I dont know if its even worth it to spend time writing a report, do I get an answer that player was reported or something like that?. In every game I play there is always a guy that ruin it and being full premade doesnt work everytime. I just want to report the flamers but its pretty annoying cause I dont know of they was reported or not. - omfg report thresh, no W - had cooldown :( - no1 cares - I wanted go top but garen instalock.... - I main garen, noob, bronze 5, uninstall lol - My classic game...

it works. You just don't get a notification unless your game was the one that punished someone, and not while it is building a case towards them.

Due to how it works right now, alot of people think the system isn't working. Riot is aware of this problem and will launch new behavioral features after the new client is up and running smoothly.

Did they actually say that? Was it a red post or?

Ya, Riot said it's OK for me to tell others "new behavioral features coming after new client is up and running smoothly."

Thank you for answer. If I can ask one more question, what type of punishment they will get, and I am able to see who are punished on the profile or somewhere else?

Its based on where they are at on the punishment tier. For chat related:

10 game chat restrict
25 game chat restrict
14-day ban
permaban

It also means that mild toxicity over lots of games will get someone permabanned.

for negative behavioral (such as ELO Boosting / intentional feeding):

14-day ban
permaban

unauthorized 3rd party program usage:

permaban

We can't see it right now and I doubt we'd ever be able to see it (due to privacy reasons).

However, we will be getting new features after the new client is up and running smoothly. While they haven't fully disclosed what we'll get, maybe we'll get things such as a report card showing how many people got punished. Hopefully like this. I'm ok with the report card idea. It gives us the visibility we need knowing that the system is working, and I don't have to stalk others.

I also think that report card is great idea, anyway, thank you for your answer. :)

I'm sorry, but did you censor "idiot"?

Yes it works, keep reporting. Also I don't recommend responding to people when they ask for your reports, you don't need to defend yourself in front of your team mates or in front of anyone since even if they report you it won't be legitimate and you won't be punished.

I don't think I defend myself, I just want to know what they think about it, they usually shut up after that, or they gonna told me "for feeding" and then shut up a bit later. Anyway, thanks for answer.

i have heard that the report button is just a placebo and just is in the game to make players feel better. the automated system punishes players who need it without any help from reports.
