You don't NEED to tell the player that you're reporting them.
You need to even less so say it like 15 times. We get it, you're mad. No one gives a shit. Some of us are trying to focus on the game and don't feel like needing to mute you because you're having beef like 10-year old children. Saying you're reporting more often doesn't make them MORE reported.
Rand0mH3r0X7 votesReported.
ModWulf Helhammer5 votesAdding to that, saying you're reporting someone, as well as asking for reports from other people in the game are both actually grounds for you yourself to be punished. The system only requires one report to review the game, and as such, asking for more counts as harassment
TheSequelsRBad5 votesHarassing people by calling on everyone to report them can be bannable, but if I understood correctly, simply saying you will report them isn't bannable.
Also, to be brutally honest, very few people will report someone for simply saying, "I am going to report you."
Jonxx1 votesNo, from what I remember it's still considered negative, and causes bad atmosphere (I know it's likely already bad but why make it worse). Just mute and move on.
TheSequelsRBad1 votesIn post game chat, I don't care about atmosphere, and I want the person to know I think the crossed the line of acceptable behavior. I don't really do it in game though, for the reasons you said
Psyturkey5 votesI actually find that telling a toxic player once, during game that I will be reporting them as a result of ______ often stops the behaviour pretty quickly.
They will often quip back something like "reports don't work", but I'll just say something like "then you won't mind being reported" and the behaviour usually ends there.
a rabid cupcake10 votesI remember one time it didn't turn out like this. I informed someone I was going to report them for their negative attitude -- telling the team they were bad, that we should uninstall league, asking why we even bother, etc -- and they went off the deep end. It like turned a switch on in their head and they broke out like every profanity they had ever happened upon, went full racist, anti-semitic, mysoginist, the whole works.
I was so happy to get a little pop-up saying that they were banned.
I miss those pop-ups.
CheftoniFTW2 votesMy argument isn't about not reporting people. It's just very distracting to have someone act like a child and at least once every 2 minutes say "reported".
We get it. Report the player at the end of the game. You don't need to inform everyone that you're reporting them. Say it once, fine, who cares. But don't be that annoying petulant child who thinks that reminding the person that they are being reported solves anything.
You're wasting time pointing out how you're going to report him instead of focusing on the game. Then of course because you were busy acting like a child, you end up with chat texts like "Reporteqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq".

Threatening to report people IS BANNABLE.
Asking other people to report a player IS BANNABLE
Having a bad game is NOT BANNABLE
Breaking the meta is NOT BANNABLE
Contrary to popular beleif everyone who has ever threatened to report has never gotten me as much as a warning message from Riot.
Contrary to popular belief I dont report people that often unelss they are being toxic, and almost all of them have lead to punishments bein dolled out.
Moral of the story: the more you threat and rage in chat the happier I am because I know you are only getting yourself harsher punishments :)

Contrary to this belief, I've done these for years and have never once had ANYTHING happen.
videorfeak1 votesIts not popular beleif, its reds stating so on the forums.
Sukishoo2 votesWell they don't actually do anything with it then :D So it's just a belief.
TheSequelsRBad1 votesI will admit to often telling someone I am going to report them in post game as a way of expressing that I think they crossed the line. But I only do it once, and only in post game, so I don't think I bother anyone.
Mister Punches1 votesI tend to notice that the players who often get reported claim to say they won't get banned or warned or punished at all. When someone says that they'll report them, the toxic player gets even more toxic, and so far, out of all the notifications I have gotten of my report going through and punishing the toxic player, the ones that have worked were the ones where the toxic player is told that they'll be reported.
I stopped asking others to report a player. I haven't done that since 2012, and I have pretty much just put the player on mute and reported them at the end of the game. I'm glad that I rarely had to do that up until this year, and now, I am pretty disappointed, because it seems that many players (at least in the Bronze to Silver tiers) tend to be extremely toxic.
proud and bronze1 votesthat is true, but if someone is doing something to you, you dont want them to think they are getting away with it with no consequences
CheftoniFTW1 votesYeah, but that doesn't mean that for the next 30+ minutes you need to remind them constantly of how they're totally getting that ban, you guys.
Jonxx1 votesAnd then let's add the fact they're just gonna get banned themselves.
