To The Frustrated Players Talking About the Reporting System "Not Working"

You're an individual, playing with 9 other Summoners at any given time. Sometimes you run across the same player once or twice, but otherwise, you tend meet new people every game. In a lot of those games, I'm sure there's someone that you feel should be reported, whether that be for being toxic, griefing, inting, or whatever.

I don't know how accurate the number is, but after a quick search it was estimated that 80 MILLION people play League of Legends as of June of 2018. Do the math guys. Do you realistically expect to see the results of your reports so quickly with such a large player base when you're weeding through them 1 or 2 players a game?

It's a joint effort. We as a community work together to send the reports in (when they're necessary and actually deserved) so that we can keep the community wholesome and civil. It's not perfect. I haven't seen anyone claim that it is, but the number of posts I'm seeing talking about the system being "flawed" or "useless" because YOU'RE not seeing the results is ridiculous to be frank.

Realistically, I think the only player base that would be able to see the results of their reports would be Master and Challenger because of how small the pool of players is at that rank whereas Silver and Gold make up a whopping 70% or so.

Food for thought. Good luck on the Rift and positive vibes to ya! I hope I'm not out of line and I hope I haven't stepped on any toes!

it works, but only on flamers.

Trolls are safe.

Well, I kind of expect insta punishes and insta feedback messages for a lot of players I have dealt with but don't end up seeing (Cuz they say you won't see it every time) which, given the knowledge that you won't always know if they are punished, makes one wonder if the system is working or not. Autofilled support wanting to force self into another role, stealing jungles golem 100% on purpose, then trying to take all farm from ADC? Reported, no instant feedback, question system. Support who is taking your farm then goes out of their way To Type Out that they were taking your farm to punish you for not taking flash? Reported, instant feedback shortly after.

I'm steadily of the notion now that some of these feedbacks might not be so automated. Sometimes I see the insta feedback a few minutes later, sometimes an hour later.

And the system only works if people report bad behavior. If you start asking people how often they report trolls and flamers, you start to realize how they get away with it.

It's our duty as players to help shape the environment. If you want to see better players in game, do your part and report the bad ones! Don't assume someone else will do it for you!

My main problem with the system isnt the lack of messages that I recieve from reports I send in. The biggest problem with the system I have is this; ALL the time people are -cussing at echother -flaming, inting, -intentionally dying, -purposly banning champions that you want to play, -you can never say your trying an new champion before you locked them in or they will ban it (in normal modes), -you cant tell someone your not allowing them to trade lanes or they will grief and ban the champ you wanted to play, -if your in the jungle role they'll follow you around the map trying to steal your camps, -if you play an champion like Zyra mid people that got autofilled support grief and try to force you out of your midlane so you have to support, -Telling you your useless for not being able to burst down an fully itimized tank that went the damage source you main.

I'm not even joking when I'm saying that this is just a short list of some of the things I have seen, or been a ''victim'' of in the last week or two. The main problem here being that the system doesnt seem to reward me for staying tiltproof while these things happen. And even people with a thick skin only can take so much. Yet when I finally snap and call someone an braindead retard for thinking I can burst down an fully itimized tank that went full MR and he happens to have a friend on the team who also reports me I am still the one getting the bad end of the stick, even though I stayed tiltroof WAY more then I got tilted.

I dont know if I'm explaining my point correctly but sometimes it feels like the system misses out on the ''good'' things that I have done while still punishing me for the bad things. Because games in which people were toxic carry over to the next games while good behaviour doesnt, and if that toxisity builds up people eventually get so sick of it that they act out.

I really want to know what people that are finding someone to report in every single game consider the threshold worthy of punishment to be.

Because flaming and trolling simply do not happen anywhere near that often.

10 points for careful propaganda, but -5 points for lack of logic.

However, I'm sure Riot approves, regardless of how silly and flawed your point is.
