backhanded reporting

Imo very few people are using the report system as it is actually intended, even if they are reporting "validly" instead of using the report button as a tool to help riot remove negativity, the vast majority of the people doing the reporting are either flamebaiters who are trolling by using passive aggressive jabbing, and/or in game griefing to get people to tilt themselves into saying something reportable just for shits and giggles. or people who chuck reports at people if they have a poor score, hoping they get banned and therefore won't be on their team. the reports just stick because usually the person said something that could be percieved as negative

a few people use the report system as intended, but it's mostly just people being spiteful or using the report system as a griefing tool

i feel like riot needs to acknowledge how badly reports are being abused

You've been saying this for what, at least a year? Just read the chat logs people give on this board; instead of muting and playing the game they are insulting and attacking people. The report system is working fine and reports are not abusable. Accusing people of baiting you doesn't mean you get a pass to flame.

1 report = 1 review means that it's _impossible _ to abuse a report. The IFS simply ignores reviews that don't reveal toxicity.

I don't think it's being abused nearly as much as you seem to think it is. At most I would guess 5% (1 person every 2 games) is baiting or spamming reports, I think it's more realistic to guess 1% to 3%.

Have you taken any notes about how often you think this happens in your own games?
