reporting trolls in ranked

grappler··6 votes·6,980 views

ok we all get trolls in games from time to time and its worse in a ranked match so is there any chance that they riot could do something to help out the people that lose games due to trolls? say you report someone and they check it and see its a legit report and punish them, how about giving the points they lost back due to the loss, shouldn't be hard to do and then you don't get punished for something someone else did wrong. just an idea, flame away

They won't do anything. They're more concerned with banning people who rightfully get angry at the fact trolls are given slaps on the wrist, than they are with banning the actual trolls/feeders to fix the underlying problem.

Totally agreed.

To figure out if someone is trolling, you'd have to watch the game to see what happened, which could take 20-40 minutes.

To see if someone said something naughty, you just have to check the chat history which takes maybe a minute.

I wouldn't say that Riot's being lazy, but I agree that it may very well be due to the fact that Riot focuses more on things they can view "on their own time" - i.e. logs. I doubt Rioters want (as I wouldn't want) to sit through an entire 30-50 minute game just to find out if overall someone was trolling or not.

However, Rioters who manage behavior are hired and paid to do just that. In my line of work, it doesn't matter if we agree with the reason someone is obviously purchasing someone, we do our job which is to sell it. Similarly, it doesn't matter if Rioters like to sit through a 40 minute game to issue a trolling ban, they should do so because many times numbers do not and cannot tell the whole story.

Agreed. If I want to speed up a loss or something, I don't say open mid and grab 6 pairs of boots. I take stupid deaths, I'll go on dangerous split pushes, I'll watch youtube, I make bad plays and do things that my team probably isn't even noticing that I'm doing so I don't get caught.

im sure they can fast forward thru the game if they wanted to just to look at certain players, and if I was them I would ignore the games where 1 player reported someone. if 4 people from a game report one person that's a pretty good indicator of which games to look into. They are already checking into the games if they are banning people, I have gotten like 6 or 7 messages saying that people I reported were punished in the last 2 weeks.

I'm getting tired of trying at this point.

There is nothing that makes me more angry than one player holding a ranked game hostage and turning an easy win into a loss. They want to dick around and spam emotes while the team tries to fight or take objectives and then say something shitty like "I AM the team" because they have 7 kills.

Riot needs to bring back the Trolling option on reports

Dude i know how you feel i had this vi litterly run down my lane multiple times whilst typing that he was gonna int because he ganked with out pinging rly early and didn't catch my attention so he died. i just checked his account on op.gg adn he is still playing games with no punishment even though everyone in the game reported him, im just baffled at how he didn't get banned and i had a 14 day ban for getting annoyed at an aram game when someone flamed me for no reason.

Yeah riot really needs to stop focusing on toxicity so much. It's hard to determine a troll from a bad player sometimes though and a loss forgiveness system could be easily abused. They need to figure something out though because trolls are the real problem- not toxicity.

My opinion if you lose a game due to a troll chances are good you've won one because of a troll as well

long run 1 game isn't what is keeping you from climbing so in the grand scheme giving back lp for losses that were not caused by riot is bad as it would promote everyone reporting everyone on the chances of getting back lp for lost games Now we're opening a new can of worms that is not healthy

do you think you get one troll game and then one good game you get 9 troll games and one g game hence zero climb. there are a few lucky one that win the lottery and just get g games kind of like the guys that drive drunk and speed all the time and never get a ticket ther is one player just recently who has played since season 5 42VH4OIVY6 last 20 games 0/0/0 0 cs he watches from spawn and then says team was crap so he does this all the time and gets reported and they do...you guessed it zippo, but if one snowflake millenial gets his feeling hurt from the words i typed on a keyboard bam chat ban.

Someone you trash talk in champ select about a champ selection, than harrass them say crude things- than expect good results..? Nobody ever gives that weird kid on the bench a chance who likes the off set meta plays, than you call half of these people trolls where your being rude to them all game and they just wanna fail to make you mad. Maybe If you say gj, nice try more they would be more than willing to help think about it outside of the box. Shouldnt blame others for your loss its a 5 man team.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

I'm talking about the ones that get in game and give up first blood as a mid or adc and then rage on the team and go afk and the team gets steamrolled or the guy that just feeds because he thinks its funny
