LMAO Reportable offences getting smaller and smaller

You can no longer report a teammate for refusing to communicate post game.

Soon enough if you don't call a player by their desired pronouns or if you voted for Trump you will be reportable, but feeding and ignoring your team is 100% perfectly okay. They will add a third pit in river, as a safe space, where all players who enter are pacified and gain the ability "daisy chains", where they can sit out the rest of the match and talk about their feelings and what rude words they were called today.

Riot player behavior team is getting worse and worse each season.

Lyte was scum, but not even he was this bad.

I let you in on a secret, sunshine:

#You never could.

The "Refusing to communicate" - report was always a placebo.

Designed at first way back in the early days as a feedback-feature for Ritos server department, to figure out which realm-communities had trouble communicating and tweaking matchmaking algorithms accordingly.

Later it was left in as a lightning-rod for false reports, giving raging kids a placebo-button they could press to vent their anger. Frankly, I don't know why they didn't keep that non-function, because it was a great way of fooling all these raging report-trolls.

In any case, no one was ever punished for a "Refusing to Communicate" report. Ever.

And yes, this was confirmed by Riot

"Secondly, failure to communicate isn't a bannable offense. We do have the option to report along that ,but we are using it to inform to what extent users are experiencing adverse effects from foreign players. We are currently researching some options here to mitigate this stuation, ranging from some new UI features, to some matchmaking features. Additionally, we hope to launch in other territories soon, which will reduce the % of users on the US servers who do not speak English, because those users will be on their own local servers."

most of the stuff falls under harassment / unsportsmanlike behavior anyways. Why have redundant reporting options to add to the confusion?

Using safe spaces despite it not having anything to do with the argument. That's another space on the bingo card.

love how on one side it's "OMG WHY IS THIS REPORTABLE?" and on the other it's "WTF THERE'S ONLY A FEW REPORTABLE THINGS!!"

They are both right.

Things said in chat are the only things you can prove unless someone admits to doing something or is so obvious like running it down mid all game. You could easily call out a troll for legit feeding, be reported for doing so and watch them get away with it as it's hard to prove without seeing a game. You can report people for Intentional AFK when it could just be their internet, unless they admit to doing it on purpose.

There are also not enough reporting options. We need options like pretending to be AFK, playing off-meta off-role(since this is now confirmed to be reportable), refusing to take assigned lane and asking for reports.

So halfway through a game you can decide to abandon your team and just clear jungle camps for the remaining 20 minutes, but god forbid you call someone a %%%got, your account is gone.
