Should the "Unskilled player" report make it back into the game?

Since quite some time the unskilled player report has been removed from the game. I started to question myself why riot would do that, but even the support couldnt give me an answer for that. The unskilled player report was, in my opinoin, a very useful thing. In the last couple of months I experienced players feeding and making it very difficult for me and my teammates to win the game. It wasnt intentional tho, so that report option is obviously out of question. The description of the intentional feeding report quotes that the player was doing it on purpose, not just having "a bad game". If you look up the match history of that certain person, you mostly find out that they only have such called bad games.... The unskilled player report could place such players in low priority queue, allowing for more experienced or skilled players to climb and for the less experienced or skilled to improove their ablities by playing with players on their skill level. It would be a win win situation, helping to make league a more enjoyable game!

It was never intended to punish players based on the unskilled reports.

Those reports were used to tweak the matchmaking system.

why do you think its ok to report people for being bad at a game?

how does that help riot in any way?

how does it help the community?

it would seem that if any one was to support this is a bunch of raging whiney bitches

Here's why why having that option doesn't make much sense to me. You are matched with players of equal skill or MMR, so really unskilled means bad game. If you are matched up with someone who is close to your equal, but feel they are unskilled then what does that say about the reporting player's skill.

Let the description of it when you report someone say "Feelsbadman" and the report doesn't actually do anything.

Some people just want a button to press to release their rage.

It would definitely not be fair to place unskilled players into a low priority queue. Most, if not almost all, new players would be in the unskilled category. Putting them into the low priority queue (which is currently a punishment for people who AFK/leave games) would discourage many of them from continuing to play the game. Unskilled players don't need to be punished. They just need to be taught how to play better. Which doesn't happen by making them wait before joining a queue.

I'd rather have a careless feeding report over an unskilled report.

It was an ignored report category anyway. Reports made under "unskilled player" weren't even submitted for review.
