If a player is ruining the game, and you want to get the player penalized as soon as possible - why is it against the rules to ask to report someone -or tell them you are going to report them for their behavior?
Because it's not necessary at best (your one report is all it takes), inflammatory hearsay when asking someone to report when they didn't see what you saw, and just a way to alienate someone in all other times.
Just report them.
Because one report is all it takes. More reports do not speed up punishment or make punishment more likely.
Even if they're breaking the rules, it is not okay for you to harass them over it.
because they dont want our fundamental systems to ask questions, they want us be a robot and say yes yes yes yes yes yes. they want to suppress our emotions.
Everyone saying that 1 person is all it takes: yes, that can be the case if it is severe enough an offense.
However, multiple people reporting you counts against you for every report generated. Riot can talk out their ass all they want, and anyone that believes that shite is just being willfully ignorant.
I just got a chat restriction because apparently you can't swear in a game anymore even though there's a built in censor for that. Totally didn't deserve the restriction. And what's worse, is that my team was harassing me and flaming me the ENTIRE fucking game. But did my reports do anything? NO. I'm the one that gets fucking punished.
This game is still absolute fucking garbage. Been away for almost 10 months and come back to see still shit 'penal' system. 90% of the time wrong people get punished, too, just because their team is a bunch of douchebags.
I don't see it as toxic to ask for reports and I have never reported anyone for that. You wanna ask for something? Go right the fck ahead. It's up to each person to decide to fulfill that request.
It's even worse when a person does NOTHING wrong except get 1 shotted, tower dove and lose lane and the entire team talks talking shit and asks for that person to be reported.
In that case, I will report each and every person on my team for verbal harassment and ruining my enjoyment of my game. It's not MY fault that I played poorly, but it IS Your fault you have to rub it in and you can't keep your mouth shut. So if you lose your account after you decided to write a Unabomber rant in my game and I keep playing, because i'm the one being friendly and polite, you know who to blame. (not referring to "you" as in the OP).
Cuz it's not allowed to ask for reports. One report has same influence as 9 of them.
It's not, if you ask like once, maybe even twice in a game.
But if you're like "Please report XXXX" and "Enjoy your report, Enjoy your punishment, enjoy your ban" and so forth, to the point where you're using it to continually harass someone and bully them, then it becomes an issue.
Reports have zero weight for punishment, they trigger a review of the player. One is all it takes, and anyone saying otherwise is just trying to justify harassment.
Asking for reports is harassment and serves zero purpose beyond tilting the player further.
IIRC riot clarified that it is technically allowed to request something be reported if done in moderation, but nobody ever just does that; they spam it repetitively in fullcaps /all for the entire game , interjected with comments about how the toxic(?) player needs to be run over by a giraffe.
