Does reporting even work anymore?

Teammate in ARAM complained about having too many melee, assumed we had more than 1 reroll (I had already used mine, got another melee champ) and then proceeded to troll by building Tear on Nocturne, stayed in the back when a TF broke out, only used his R once. "Look at my CS, I'm playing" all the while calling teammates "asshats" and "douchebag". Even later said "I didn't call you a douchebag, I said you were a douchebag". Kept being toxic even in post game screen, bringing up the topic of rerolls again, assuming that any of us had any more rerolls (or wanted to use them). I didn't get any confirmation that my report did anything. And said player was gold last season, diamond this season so also possible they are doing shady things like getting boosted.

We (the players) do not punish other players. We report other players when they've exhibited behavior that goes against the rules, and the system decides whether they need to be punished or not. One report does not necessarily equal a punishment, and even when players are punished, the system does not give punishment notifications frequently. If that kind of thing happens to often, then people feel rewarded for reporting others, and that's not the point of reports.

Most of the time you won't get an ifr if someone gets punished
Are you just going to ignore the multiple posts on boards about people complaining about being banned?

This board is a testament to the fact that the punishment system is doing its job.

It rarely works against gameplay related offenses like inting, trolling, afking

The system punishes people based on consistency x severity. So depending on their behavioral history, the chat may not be severe enough to punish them for that game alone.

You will get a punishment notification if the game you reported them shows up in the reform card, but keep in mind the reform card only shows 1-5 recent games as examples of unacceptable behavior, if the punishment happened after your "recent" period, you'll never get to know of that person got punished.

For disruptive gameplay reviews, it typically takes a bit longer to review as the game requires manual review, and the support team is typically backlogged in that regards.

Just take a look at the front page of this board.

Yes, reporting does work.

You do not always get a confirmation back when someone you reported has been punished.

That notification is notoriously unreliable. I've hheard its purpose is only to remind players that their reports are being heard. Its not meant to show you that player x was banned, as other people's accounts really arent your business. They have an automated system. So if you reported, the automated system will carry out it's purpose. Move on with your life, its out of your control now.
