in-Game Report

iMainTroll··1 votes·1,427 views

hi i played so many Moba games, and i found an interesting option. that we could Report other players during the game. and why we need that???

because sometimes there is trolls or int players in your team and you just a bit angry after game and somehow you forgot to report that player .

and when you realize that ....... [zombie-brand-facepalm]

so i think that will help a bit in order to punish trolls or int feeders.

((sorry for bad english btw))

I would not want my teammate to write out an essay instead of playing an active game...

Because the primary focus in the game is to play the game. Not put an unlimited amount of time filing a complaint about how this guy took your scuttle and asked him not to, or something.

That's why it's not a thing and why it should never be a thing.

As zPOOPz and Zombie Gerbil have said, having a report feature in-game would detract pretty heavily from the actual gameplay. (not to mention it'd probably result in overall decreased accuracy of intentional feeding reports, since people can be surprisingly trigger-happy in the midst of a match gone sour.)

I've had to report a few people in Heroes of the Storm, a MOBA that does allow in-game reporting, but the issue is every time I go to report the player, I have to open chat to make their recent offending line visible so I know exactly what to report them for, then hold TAB to open the scoreboard, then click report, click the appropriate option, and then write a short note about why I'm reporting them.

In actuality, it may only be 20~ seconds, but those 20~ seconds make all the difference in-game.

Beyond that, how would in-game reporting help to punish trolls/intentional feeders? The procedure is still the same - the match has to end for the behavior to be reviewed, and it is wholly possible that the person being reported was not intentionally feeding or trolling.

totally agree with your opinion. but about your last paragraph.

as i said sometime you forgot to report them after the game ends, and reporting in a ticket would take more time and personally i rather i hate to spend time on it((i'm so lazy)). so they will punish in future. and also there should be an option that we could revoke our report after (something like a checkbox) in case of trigger-happy thing.

I have trouble believing you can be negatively affected by a troll or intentional feeder and then be lazy enough to not go through some extra leg-work in case you forgot to report them post-game...

If you want to report someone, report them. Don't let yourself be lazy when all it amounts to is two or three minutes typing something up on a Support Ticket.

and also there should be an option that we could revoke our report after (something like a checkbox) in case of trigger-happy thing.

Okay, so the suggestion of an in-game report is there as a means to counteract the possibility of forgetting to report in the post-game lobby. But the option to revoke that report is suggested as a counterbalance for trigger-happy reporters...

There's two major issues with that, the first being, ironically, the same problem that the proposal as a whole seeks to address, which is forgetfulness. If someone is forgetful enough to not report post-game and need to have an in-game report feature, what are the odds that they're going to remember to un-report someone if they feel that they reported them in undue haste?

And that "if" is in boldface because that's the other major issue. If someone gets trigger-happy and decides to report someone for feeding because in that moment they're damnedably sure said player is feeding, the odds are hilariously low that they'd actually give it second thought or reconsider their report, let alone humor revoking it. So, when I say "if they feel that they reported (them) in undue haste", that is a pretty massive "if".

All said, I don't feel that an in-game report option would do much to help for what potential harm it could do, and the possibility of revoking a report doesn't really save it any.
