[Behavior System Theory] More reports within a the game against a person is good

Kei143·Oct 20, 2017·1 votes·335 views

The theory, and probably more geared towards the new and upcoming improvements to feeder detection system, is that more reports help tune the system better.

More reports against a certain action (using intelligent trolling for example) within the game will show Riot that a larger percentage of the community disapprove of such actions.

So the questions of this post are:

Would more reports against a person actually help tune the system? Or is it pointless for the system's improvement to report more than once?
Would inter-buster have a severity grading system like IFS?

Hope I can attract Tantrum here and give us some clarity.

It used to be long ago that multiple reports levied against a person would actually increase the weight on the case. This was removed IIRC because there was a tendency of premades attempting to abuse this to get innocent people punished.

Well, intentional feeding, when caught is already grounds for skipping punishment tiers. For example, if you had no prior punishments and were convicted of intentionally feeding you skip right up to the 14 day ban. I think this is partly because handing out chat restrictions for gameplay trolling doesn't make any sense.

That rule seems pretty silly though, as it should be pretty easy to tell who are premades on Riot's end, so it should be a non issue. A guy randomly reporting someone should not have the exact same weight as 3-4 random people reporting them period.

My understanding was that each player had a report weight, and the system would use the highest value report and discard the rest.

This theory is actually lesser about the skipping punishment tiers or punishing people in general, but more about the tuning of the system.

So from a system improvement's point of view, if a person has reported someone else for inting, is there a purpose in reporting them again?

Would there be more "leniency" (requires more games to punish) given to people who troll smartly (like purposely missing skill shots) as opposed to running it down mid?

Just like how it'll take lots of the games to punish someone for 'ggez' as opposed to a ban in 1 game for hate speech.
