Suggestion: Ability to send clips with reports or alternate report method to allow clips

People always say it is hard to prove inting, trolling, etc and it is easy to punish for chat, but it seems with the ability to send clips with a report, even if it is outside of game (through website for example) would make this a lot easier. When you have someone who is Tahm Kench eating you and flashing into the enemy team but saying "What? I didn't do anything" in chat, a simple clip would show a troll that is impossible to prove through stats. A jungler who gets salty he didn't want to jungle and wouldn't trade so they come running into your lane to int. Simple clip with a report.

It's very easy for someone to be actively trolling and even have a decent kda, or someone could be refusing to leave a lane because they are salty a team won't surrender so maybe they have high cs, etc. Not to mention it would be a bit more of a deterrent to behavior like this if people know they could actually be seen and not only be affected by what they say in chat. We have access to replays so allow us to use them effectively to help punish genuine trolls because they ruin games far worse than someone saying bad words. You can mute someone flaming but you can't mute a troll, so give us better tools to show someone actually ruining games, please.

Riot already has access to that information. The problem comes from sorting feeding/trolling from low skill and inexperience. From getting outplayed or facing a bad matchup. Then you have players who get salty over mistakes, off-meta, or a build play-style that doesn't match what they believe is "right".

Reporting low skill and mistakes just makes it harder for Riot to identify actual problem.

Why do you need to send clips? Riot already has all the gameplay videos. Infact they have more information than the replays, they have access to things like ping, click location, click speed, screen panning, keyboard button presses.

The hard part about proving trolling is intent. People make bad decisions, sometimes decisions at a micro level like stepping forward 2 teemo units and that would be enough for the enemy to jump on them and killed. Now is that really inting? Or are they just bad?

Bad macro rotations is just bad macro? Or are they griefing?

They only way to tell intent is by comparison of what people do normally, what they do when they get tilted, and what they did within that game. All that takes time and good observation skills towards people's habitual behavior.
