Possible solution to flamebaiters/provokers

If a person gets a chat restriction or 14 day ban. That player could gamble an extra "strike" on their account. For ONE PLAYER in any of the games listed in their reform card. Claiming provocation. This would flag their account for manual review. If found guilty of instigation or egging on. That player would be escalated to 1level higher thrn the retaliator's punishment status. The retaliator would STILL BE PUNISHED. But they can have desperately needed assurance thay the person provoking them got it worse.

If it was found that they are lying, or THEY were in fact the instigator. They would be bumped up an additional tier for wasting riot's time.

Why should someone be punished higher just because another person in their game was at a higher punishment tier?

Under your system, if a player got a permanent ban after retaliating, they could claim this and get someone who’d never done anything wrong before permanently banned because their punishment would have to be worse.

I think the current system where everyone’s punished based on their own actions is fine. People work up towards a permanent ban on their own scaling, and if they repeatedly egg people on they will get punished.

ok how abut doing this instead. why not revisit my "super report" idea from awhile back. where once every 3 games. a player can use a "super report" where if found valid. it's a garunteed chat ban at the minimum. even if that player wouldnt have normally been punished for that one toxic game.

An interesting idea.. but I just still don’t see why people should have reports count more or less anytime. I think the current system is as fair and balanced as possible - every single report causes a review of the game. Giving people the power to “super report” would mean that the punishment system would be less fair and equitable - as you’d have people getting punished differently for similar offenses.

"report weight" is a terribly inconsistent system. Everyone should be judged equally based on their individual toxic history. Not because s/he happened to get hit with a "report weight" that otherwise would not had push him/her into punishment with "normal report".

That plus I honestly do not want to see "Please use your super report on xxx". Your "super report" idea will make "report begging" the biggest annoying problem in League.
