I don't feel like reports are taken seriously

There are people who use harassment and rude comments about players or to player and reporting them seems to do nothing. I'm just curious as to what Riot looks at? Do they see chat from both teams if they watch it? I feel as though even though you report people for consistently harassing people or being rude to them they just get a mark in their account and nothing is really done about it. Leaving game or afk is also another thing I don't think is cared about. I understand people can have issues and may not connect, but is the report comment even read? What about after game chat? It just seems like there really isn't any report section that seems to be important. There are lots of reports everyday, I understand, but arrogance shouldn't Be taken Lightly, especially if it turns into harassment. Just curious. I feel like reporting people for verbal abuse or really anything doesn't even do anything

It's mostly an automated system. Every report has an impact, it may just not be the one that results in a punishment. If they continue acting how they were, they WILL get punished for it. All you can do is be happy knowing you did what you could to make the community better

So no one really actually checks the reports. It's automatically noted? No one looks at the things said or the things done? That doesn't seem fair. Especially if something is written in the comments

There are instances where Riot employees will look at the reports and chat logs, but you have to understand that there's just too many reports. Riot doesn't have the manpower to have someone look at each individual report

The system is a learning system, where it can identify context and determine whether the reported was doing anything toxic.

There are key words like homophobic / racial slurs that Riot will punish irregardless of context.

The punishments are handed out based on severity x frequency. If a guy is moderately toxic once every 100 games, chances are it will take him lots and lots and lots more games to get him punished (not frequent), however if a guy uses homophobic slurs and repetitively tells others to kill themselves, then chances are 1 game is enough to get them punished.

The system also does a horrible job in letting you know that it punished someone. Only the game you reported them in would give a punishment notification. If they played another game after and got punished, you won't know it happened.

Manual reviews are available for the cases that slip through the cracks where they get alot of reports, but the system isn't punishing them.

That makes sense. Was just curious on how it worked. Just some people are so arrogant in their games that they have to belittle others because of their rank or if they have a bad game. Thanks for the insight :)
